Hello. Thanks for visiting my personal page. My name is Asal Aslemand. I enjoy being in academics and contribute to the field of statistics education. I am passionate about teaching statistics, particularly to adult learners who need to take applied statistics courses to fulfil their degree requirements. I love hearing from my students that they continue using statistics after their courses and found it relevant in their field of study.

In my teaching, I focus on developing students’ statistical literacy, because I believe that being statistically literate is a powerful skill to have in order to be able to read, interpret, communicate and take critical stance toward statistical information that we encounter on a daily basis.
My research focuses on examining the relationships between students’ attitudes toward statistics, their past mathematics achievement, their statistics achievement, and their willingness to use statistics after leaving their introductory statistics course. I am interested in studying effective teaching strategies, that can keep students interested in learning statistics, and will enable them to realize the worth, relevance, and usability of the subject of statistics in their personal and professional lives.
