Title
Statistical skills for the workplace: A practical approach to teaching methods with Excel
Description
Teaching statistics with Excel can be quite rewarding. It is much more likely to be used by students beyond the classroom than programs such as SPSS or Stata. Excel offers everything needed to teach introductory-level statistics at the undergraduate level or in an applied graduate program. It is highly accessible to students both on campus and off. It is versatile, offering features such as 3D mapping, and can be used to create dynamic, interactive data dashboards. It is also used in the majority of businesses in the country and is a marketable skill for students. This chapter reflects on my transition to teaching with Excel, reviews some of the benefits and drawbacks of the software, and shares some of the lessons I have learned.
