Udacity: Elementary Statistics with Udacity
Hello! I’m Katie, and I’ll be explaining most of the concepts in Udacity’s Elementary Statistics course. There are many reasons to get excited about Elementary Statistics, which you can take this summer for college credit with San Jose State University. I’m excited about teaching this class because statistics is an incredibly useful science centered around describing and analyzing data. There are many ways of doing so, and in this class you’ll learn the most standard and practical methods, and gain an intuitive sense of why these methods are useful. Another reason to learn statistics with me: You’ll learn how to use spreadsheets! Alongside gaining a conceptual foundation for understanding these concepts, by the end of the class you’ll be able to describe and analyze data both by hand and in Google spreadsheets. Proficiency in using spreadsheets can be beneficial both in your career and personal life, as spreadsheets are a great organiz…

Coursera: 5 Tips: Learn more effectively in class with Mastery Learning
Editor’s Note: Want to learn a few tips on how to learn the material in your classes more effectively? Read below to learn about the principles behind Mastery Learning, written by our Course Operations MOOC Pedagogy Specialist, Relly Brandman. What is Mastery Learning? “The instruction is the same as in the conventional class (usually with the same teacher)…The average student under mastery learning was about one standard deviation above the average of the control class (the average mastery learning student was above 84% of the students in the control class).1” In traditional classrooms, students progress through the class regardless of their level of achievement. In mastery learning classrooms, students must fully understand (demonstrate mastery of) the material before moving on to the next topic. Mastery learning is about how students navigate through exercises and assignments. In a seminal study by Benjamin Bloom1,…
