An IntroductIon to StAtIStIcS: An Active Learning Approach
Kieth A. Carlson, Valparaiso University • Jennifer R. Winquist, Valparaiso University
This is the ideal text for incorporating an active learning approach to the subject of introductory statistics. The authors
carefully and clearly explain fundamental statistical concepts in short and easy-to-understand chapters. The workbook
activities were empirically developed to both reinforce and expand on these fundamental concepts. These activities
allow students to discover and correct their own misunderstandings early in the learning process. This learner-centered
approach enables students to take ownership of their learning and "read with purpose." Based on contemporary
memory research (e.g., the testing effect, embedded reading questions), the text is designed to actively engage
students in learning statistics while they generate explanations, which leads to better long-term retention.

PreSenting data effectively: Communicating Your Findings for Maximum
Impact
Stephanie D. H. Evergreen, Evergreen Data & Evaluation, LLC
This is a step-by-step guide to making the research results presented in reports, slideshows, posters, and data
visualizations more interesting. Written in an easy, accessible manner, presenting Data Effectively provides guiding
principles for designing data presentations so that they are more likely to be heard, remembered, and used. The
guidance in the book stems from the author's extensive study of research reporting, a solid review of the literature
in graphic design and related fi elds, and the input of a panel of graphic design experts. Those concepts are then
translated into language relevant to students, researchers, evaluators, and non-profi t workers—anyone in a position
to have to report on data to an outside audience. The book guides the reader through design choices related to four
primary areas: graphics, type, color, and arrangement. As a result, readers can present data more effectively, with the
clarity and professionalism that best represents their work.
