Alexis Lerner; Andrew Gelman – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
Data literacy for students in nonquantitative fields is important as statistics become the grammar of research and how the world's decisions are made. Statistics courses are typically offered by mathematics or statistics departments or by social and natural sciences such as economics, political science, psychology, and biology. Here we discuss how…

Sharday N. Ewell; Alayna Harvey; Amanda Clark; Megan E. Maloney; Laurie S. Stevison; Cissy J. Ballen – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
An inequitable distribution of resources and opportunities for marginalized students (i.e., opportunity gaps) leads to challenges in identifying effective study behaviors, metacognition, and academic help-seeking in higher education. While students benefit when these skills are taught explicitly through co-curricular workshops and courses, these…

Hubert Izienicki – Teaching Sociology, 2024
Many instructors use a syllabus quiz to ensure that students learn and understand the content of the syllabus. In this project, I move beyond this exercise's primary function and examine students' syllabus quiz scores to see if they can predict how well students perform in the course overall. Using data from 495 students enrolled in 18 sections of…
