Topic
Exploring data (using graphs and numbers) are usually handled as one-lesson / first chapter by basic statistical courses. This is, because a first course in statistics introduces many new skills. It also introduces some new ideas, that all are hard to understand for students. The new approach is to make a solid foundation to learn statistics by a more thorough introduction to those: The course tries to make clear a few of these fundamental ideas of statistics - limited to understanding and working with data. An improved skill for exploring data is useful not only at your classes and your future job but in the everyday life as well.
