The Effectiveness of Computer Exercises in Introductory Statistics

Tod S. Porter and Teresa M. Riley

The Journal of Economic Education, 1996, vol. 27, issue 4, 291-299

Abstract: One introductory statistics class was given homework involving exercises generated by computer software, and a second class was assigned problems from the textbook. The software provided an explanation if students' answers were incorrect, but those using textbook problems had no such feedback. The class using the software typically completed the assigments in less time and had higher scores on homework-related exam questions.
