>Dear colleagues,
>
>I teach a first-year statistics class at QUT in Brisbane, Australia.
> About
>400-500 students take this class each year. Most are science
>majors, but
>there are also majors in education, information techology, health,
>law,
>arts and business.
>
>The class covers what you might expect of such a first-year class:
>types of
>data, displaying data, Normal distribution, sampling distributions,
>tests
>of hypotheses, interval estimation, comparisons of means and
>variances,
>experimental design and ANOVA, regression, discrete data and tables,
>and a
>few curiosities. Students have prac classes using Minitab v12.
>
>Part of the assessment is a group project in gathering and
>presenting data
>(statistical analysis forms a secondary component of the
>project). Students work in teams of 4, 5 or 6 over the space of
>about 7
>teaching weeks, and present their projects as a set of simple
>webpages. It
>is an optional item of assessment: if a student chooses to do the
>project
>then the mark counts about 12% towards their grade only if it is to
>their
>advantage. About half the class chooses to do the project. They
>conduct a
>lot of their collaboration through electronic chat rooms and email,
>which
>would easily allow students outside of QUT to take part.
>
>Would you be interested in having your students and my students work
>on
>joint projects?
>
>I believe there would be excellent opportunities for some cultural
>learning, as well as providing interesting scenarios for statistical
>comparisons.
>
>Our next semester runs from mid-July through to the end of
>October. Students would need to start on their projects in mid- to
>late-September.
>
>If you are interested in taking part, I would be most willing to
>negotiate
>organisation of the project to accommodate your teaching
>requirements and
>class schedule.
>
>I look forward to hearing from you!

>All good wishes,
