derek ... here is a question that you need to answer:
if it is not required AND is not a prerequisite to any other course AND we
know that most students HATE statistics (via not liking math) ...
WHO WILL TAKE THIS COURSE???
will all your effort go for naught?
IF all you are hoping to do is to provide, to those who MIGHT want to
explore stat a bit ... and way for that to happen ... then give them a page
of links to the dozens and dozens of online textbooks ... courses, that
already exist ...
some links can be found (and there are many more) at:
