Lecture Explore Assess The java applet can be used to strengthen students’ understanding of time series by allowing them to move points around and add additional data points. A teacher could either show a video in class or have students watch the video as an out-of-class assignment. Teachers can select from a number of topics and choose from over 70 questions (and answers) for linear regression alone.
