Abstract
Abstract: In this March edition of the JSDSE/CAUSE webinar series, we highlight the recent article "Integrating Statistical Writing in an Applied Regression Course Using Small-Scale Writing Projects". Effective communication skills, both written and oral, are considered core skills for statisticians. This article presents five small-scale writing projects that were developed for an applied regression course, including the specific writing skills emphasized in each project and what each project entails. The authors also present and discuss results from surveys on changes in writing attitudes throughout the course and student feedback on the projects. The results indicate improved attitudes toward writing and a positive experience for students. Recommendations for incorporating the writing projects based on their observations of implementing them and potential changes are also provided.
