I I VI Statistics are often one of the most frustrating experiences facing students of the social sciences such as psychology, political science and sociology. STAT, short for statistics, is a computer-assisted learning experience designed to remove most of the frustrations of computing statistics. It is programmed through the Interactive Training System (ITS), a computer developed by IBM.

STAT was begun in the fall semester of 1975. It was used in CilNT 302 as it was being developed and positive feedback from both instructors and students was received. "Most students feel intimidated by computers, but through STAT they get some ex posure and, hopefully, more involved," said Busemeyer. Students seem to enjoy working with the computer terminals; they feel more as if they are being tutored rather than criticized, according to Busemeyer. "This seems to be an efficient approach to reviewing materials for students and instructors who want feedback on the student's progress," Busemeyer added. NOT ONLY is the computer a reviewing device, but it also helps the students gain knowledge and Media exhii oresidenfs f A multi-media exhibit featurini university's presidents will be prese chives between9a.m. and 4 p.m. I)ec The 25-minute exhibit to be shown o building, was produced by the 1 cooperation with University Arehiv slides, music and narration.

STAT is cfesigned to be a sup jlement to elementary statistics ourses. STAT generates small nf i nfnrm :af iftn followed by questions on the L-ontext. Several additional statistical topics are being added to STAT for the spring semester and plans are underway for extending the course to include basic instructions for using a statistical package. About 100 uiulert'raduate students are using the STAT system. Terminals are reserved for students by a sign-up system. "THE OVKKAI.I, concept is to serve the academic community, lo aid in computer related services," said Loren Kudolf, director of operations and user services. Terminals for STAT are usually rented, some for as little as $75 per month. Renting is considered better than buying because of the rapid changes in terminals, although some large components are bought.
