ABSTRACT Choosing right software to teach an applied statistical course is very crucial. When one teaches applied statistical courses to statistics students s/he needs to use an interactive software. Instructors should communicate with the software rather getting all the statistical results by clicking tabs. The mean reason is that the instructor can simultaneously teach the techniques and the data analysis. Perhaps the most straightforward option is to use the free software R but it is not easy for average students to use R. In this paper, I will share the experience of using MS Excel in teaching Design of Experiment. I find this experience as a success one. |
