On a Calculus-based Statistics Course for Life Science Students

    Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1187/cbe.10-03-0035

    The choice of pedagogy in statistics should take advantage of the quantitative capabilities and scientific background of the students. In this article, we propose a model for a statistics course that assumes student competency in calculus and a broadening knowledge in biology. We illustrate our methods and practices through examples from the curriculum.
