چکیده
We describe the structure, topics, and activities used in teaching a first-year seminar course in statistical literacy. This course is entirely structured around current affairs, although common themes emerge that reflect the core material for most quantitative literacy courses. Special emphasis is given to the computing and calculating used in the course to illustrate key concepts. This approach has also had quite a positive impact on our teaching of more advanced courses. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
