Why is HOW SAMPLING WORKS a benefit for teaching? *The principles of statistical sampling and inference are powerful learning tools, which are USEFUL and APPLICABLE to virtually every field and profession. Traditional teaching materials make these ideas and principles very difficult for most students to learn. HOW SAMPLING WORKS helps to solve this problem by providing students with a way to discover the principles of sampling for themselves, through a unique series of visually-oriented experiments. *The authors have a proven track record of developing effective, successful course materials. Each student copy of the text includes ISEE software, which was professionally developed and extensively tested with undergraduates through a major grant from FIPSE (Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education). *The book and software combined is offered at a great price to students.
