Students as Partners in a Classroom Journal for Sharing Project-Based Work

Music City Center 

Many statistical classes include projects with scientific write-ups to evaluate different topics (e.g., simulation studies, applied data analyses, reports for collaborators, etc.). Oftentimes these projects are only viewed by the student and the instructor, creating a one-way and limiting dissemination of information. Instead, one can partner with students to create a two-way and broad dissemination of information in the form of a "published" classroom journal. In this presentation we build off of our previous work by focusing on strategies to engage students as partners in the process while noting the real-world skills that can be built through scientific writing, a low stakes setting to experience the process for "publication", and applying classroom concepts to a wide range of settings.
