We have moved to a new website. Please find more up-to-date information there.

Welcome

The purpose of this SIGMAA is to facilitate the exchange of ideas about teaching statistics and data science, the undergraduate statistics and data science curricula and all other issues related to providing students with effective and engaging encounters with these topics in their courses of study.  We also hope to foster increased understanding of statistics and data science among members of the MAA, promote the discipline of statistics and data science among students, and work cooperatively with other organizations to encourage effective teaching and learning of statistics and data science.


The SIGMAA SDS-Ed awards the Robert V. Hogg Award and the Dexter C. Whittinghill III Award at the SIGMAA business meeting at MathFest annually.

Nominations Open for the Robert V. Hogg Award for Excellence in Teaching Introductory Statistics

 

The Hogg Award provides recognition to an individual who has shown both excellence and growth in teaching introductory statistics at the college level. This award is presented annually at MathFest. Nomination packets should be submitted to Phil Yates, Chair of the Award Committee, at PYATES@depaul.edu.

The winner of the Hogg Award will have been teaching introductory statistics at the college level for 3 to 15 years and hold active membership with the MAA. Nominations of faculty coming from a mathematics background are especially encouraged, although all eligible candidates are encouraged to apply. The deadline for submitting nomination packets is September 30; nominations are held in consideration for 3 years, but updated nomination packets are encouraged.

 

Awarded at the 2021 JMM

Congratulations to the 2021 Hogg Award winner Mine Çetinkaya-Rundel!

 

The Dexter C. Whittinghill III award for best presentation at the 2020 JMM went to Albert Schueller!
