Stats course: real world data and infographics

This course appears to have aspects of the five characteristics of learner-centered teaching put forward by Welmer (2012):

1. How does it engage students in the hard, messy work of learning? [Students help create the rubrics]
2. In what ways is explicit skill instruction included? ["Suggestions for finding and using Creative Commons images"]
3. What opportunities do students have to reflect on what they are learning and how they are learning it? [Peer review and assessment require some reflection on learning]
4. How does it tap into student motivation by giving them some control over the learning processes? [Students know that they will be applying the grading rubric they helped create, so (hopefully) they have a better grounding in the objectives behind the rubric]
5. How does it encourage collaboration? [Students appear to work in groups and give feedback to other groups]
