Lecture Explore Assess TLC: Regression Applets like this one from SticiGui Java Tools allow students to explore changes in the data to see how they affect the regression line. An in-class activity from the STAR Library can help introduce the concept of regression. Using self-tests like this one from Biometry: Statistics for Ecology, students can submit their answers and receive immediate feedback regarding questions answered correctly and questions or topics needing improvement.
