Dawn,
I taught a 1 semester hands-on lab in which we started with a review of basic
stats. I put together a simple user-friendly stat review handout. While my
students completed a take-home exam, I think an open-book stats exam with the
right support materials could be a good option. My theory is that after your
intro stat class life is an open-book stat exam. By and large, the exam was a
success experience for everybody.
