Rethinking Statistics Teaching for Operational Research
本文主张运筹学课程中的统计学教学应强调学科哲学、发展概念而非技术、激发思考,并允许学生达到各自水平,详细描述了一门按此理念设计的研究生课程。
Statistics is a standard component of most Management Science or Operational Research courses. This paper argues that the teaching of Statistics in such courses should emphasise the philosophical aspects of the discipline, should concentrate on developing concepts rather than techniques, should stimulate ideas and should allow each student to reach his/her own level in the discipline. A postgraduate course structured in this way is described in detail.
