The discussion focuses on structuring a high school course on experiment design and statistics for upperclassmen. The instructor, a biologist with a math minor, seeks advice on refreshing their statistical knowledge, particularly in testing. The course aims to cover design and statistics in the first trimester, followed by student-led research projects in the second trimester. Participants express enthusiasm for the course and encourage sharing insights on effective course outlines and teaching strategies. The overall goal is to create an engaging and educational experience for students.

the course is for high school upperclassmen, it is a design of experiments/ statistics class. i am a biologist with a math minor, so i need to brush up on my stats, specifically statistics with respect to testing, i am interested in anyone with any kind of advice for helping me to hit the ground running. i want to teach the design/stats in the first trimester, and have the second trimester dedicated to students designing and carrying out some reseach and presenting it. what kind of a course outline do you think i should have for the first trimester? thanks in advance
