Material Detail

This open textbook is being utilized in a biostatistic course for undergraduate or graduate students by Qiwei Li at California State University Fresno. The open textbook provides information covering targeted learning objectives, as well as the in-class assignments, and interactive graphical practices. The main motivation to adopt an open textbook was to reduce the financial burden of students. Most students access the open textbook in electronic format.

The California State University and MERLOT have partnered to showcase how and why faculty have adopted Open Educational Resources (OER) to facilitate equitable access to their students’ course materials. This Faculty Showcase represent Open Educational Practices where faculty are sharing their "know-how" for adopting OER in their courses.
