Abstract
With reference to the framework in The International Data Science in Schools Project, this paper aims to discuss the course design, teaching and learning, and assessment of a foundation course offered in an undergraduate statistics and data science programme. SAS® University Edition (a free software package) is adopted in this foundation course. With this integrated development environment, this paper shares three teaching and learning examples using a point-and-click approach and a programming approach. In addition, the design of a project-based assessment is discussed. Lastly, practical recommendations in two areas are provided to educators in this field.
