Ideas For Group-based Data Analysis Project Assessment: The Carpentries Forum

This is a public discussion board in The Carpentries Forum.  The original question is "Ideas needed for assessment of group-based data analysis project".  I thought the responses would be of interest to many in this FMN.

Stop telling kids you’re bad at math. You are spreading math anxiety ‘like a virus.’

Nice article that ends with a call for growth mindset, rather than math anxiety.

MathBench

These modules introduce students (and anyone else who's interested) to the mathematical underpinnings of what they learn in introductory biology courses. But unlike a textbook, the modules are not full of equations and proofs. Instead, we try to bring math to life using intuitive approaches, everyday situations, and even humor. The modules contain hundreds of interactive activities, games, and questions. They range from the relatively simple (what to do with division) to the relatively abstruse (discrete diffusion models).

EDSIN Community Connections

A resource for members to connect with each other based on your interests and expertise. The spreadsheet has three tabs. One (Topics of Interest) captures the topics proposed for discussion via our Slack group with links to notes from those discussions. The other two (Asks/Offers) are meant to offer a way to make requests (I would like help with..) and to let the community know what expertise you can offer (I can help with...). Members are invited to add content to the spreadsheet whenever you have content to add.
