Some Favorite Data Sets: Using the Computer on Real Data in Class

Primary tabs

Several real data sets are described and their use in a variety of applied courses at the college level are illustrated. All of the data sets are significantly large to require analysis by computer and provide a rich setting for students to investigate a variety of questions. Some different strategies for organizing student explorations of the data will be discussed.
