I Am Not a Real Statistician; I Just Play One on TV

Abstract

This chapter is an analytical narrative of the ongoing development of a graduate level foundations course in statistics. It includes the reflections of the originators of decision-based learning and the novice faculty who then tested whether the pedagogy was transferable to other teachers of the same course. The answer is, yes, but the question is open as the authors continue to explore and refine the pedagogy and the course.
