Abstract

For several years we have used web-based surveys to collect data from the students in our introduction to probability and statistics course at Babson College. We believe that the use of such surveys and the data produced from them is an ideal way to meet the recommendations of the GAISE College Report. Our surveys are designed to collect data representing all four measurement scales: categorical, ordinal, interval, and ratio. In this presentation we give examples of the questions we ask and the surveys from which they come. As we go through each of the six recommendations of the GAISE report, we demonstrate how our use of our survey data contributes to achieving that objective and indicate areas needing improvement.
