  Real-Life Experience Through Statistical Consulting Course

  Learning situated in real-life experience ultimately helps students understand the class material much better and move from the lecture-and-listen format to one that engages students in active learning.  Prof. DeCook respects the quote from Confucius: "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." She strives to keep this in mind as she mentors students entering into the new territory of statistical consulting.
