Teach biostatistics with cases, not slides.
BioStat Quest gives instructors 50+ case-based challenges and 1,000+ board-style questions, an inline method deep-dive on every question, and a class-level cohort view that shows per-branch accuracy and where individual students are strong or weak.
Features built for teaching a cohort
Assigned homework with due dates On the roadmap
Pick specific cases or entire branches with a deadline; students work through them on their own schedule, you see completion and accuracy at the class level. Date-bound assignments aren't shipped yet — today, students enrol via class code or invite link and you see live cohort progress. If this would unblock you for next semester, email us and we'll prioritise.
Method deep-dives on every question
Every question is tagged to a method. Right after the answer reveal, students can open an inline deep-dive panel — intuition, formula, assumptions, common pitfalls, and cited reading — without leaving the case. A student who misses a confidence-interval question reads the CI explainer; one who misses a Cox-model question reads survival. You don't have to write the remediation, and we cover 42 methods across 8 branches.
Class-level cohort dashboard
Your instructor view shows aggregate accuracy per branch (foundations, probability, regression, study design, causal, Bayesian, etc.), flagged weak areas across the class, and per-student status. You teach to the actual gap — not the gap you assumed from last year's cohort.
Syllabus-aligned collections
We curate case bundles to match your course — MPH methods, USMLE Step 1 biostats, residency didactics, doctoral quals. With 50+ cases and 1,000+ questions spanning foundations through causal inference and Bayesian methods, there's plenty to work with. You keep what maps, we drop what doesn't.
Your whole cohort, free
There are no seats to buy and no licence to scope. Create a class, share the join code or invite link, and every student has the complete case library — no per-student credit cards, no procurement cycle, no renewal date to diary. Cohort size doesn't change anything.
Three steps, no engineering
Self-serve and free — nothing to buy, nothing to schedule. You can have a class running before your next lecture.
Create a class.
Sign in, name the class, and you get a join code and an invite link. No cohort size to declare.
Share the code with your students.
Drop it in your syllabus or LMS announcement. Students enrol themselves and get the full library immediately.
Watch the cohort dashboard.
Per-branch accuracy, flagged weak areas and per-student status, from the first answer onward. Want help mapping cases to your syllabus? Email us — optional, not a gate.
Programs already using case-based methods teaching
Not listed? Email us anyway — the same case library serves most biostatistics curricula, and curation is fast.
Before you start
Is this FERPA-compliant? ▾
We collect email and progress data only; no identifiable grades or PII beyond the learner's own account. For institutions with stricter requirements we can execute a data-processing addendum specifying retention, deletion, and incident-notification terms. Ask about our standard DPA template.
Can students use their institutional email? ▾
Yes. Single sign-on via Google OAuth works with most institutional Google Workspace domains (*.edu, *.ac.uk, *.edu.tr, etc.). Email-with-OTP works with any institutional inbox. No student credential harvesting; we never see a password.
Do students keep access after the course? ▾
Yes, indefinitely. Access isn't tied to your class or to a term — students keep their account, their full progress, their streak and their spaced-repetition history, and can keep working the library long after the course ends. Nothing expires and nothing is reset.
Can we try it before using it in a course? ▾
There's nothing to arrange — sign in, create a class, and add a couple of colleagues as students to see the instructor dashboard with a small cohort. The full case library is open from the first minute, so evaluating it is the same as using it.
How long does setup take? ▾
Minutes. Create the class, copy the join code into your syllabus or LMS announcement, and students enrol themselves. If you'd like help mapping cases to your syllabus, email us — but nothing blocks you from starting today.
Can we bring our own questions? ▾
Not yet. There's no self-serve question editor today; if a small set of bespoke cases would unblock your course, email us and we'll see what's feasible. Most courses use the shared 50+ case library as-is — it already covers MPH methods, USMLE biostats, and residency-didactics topics.
Use it in your course.
Create a class, share the join code, and your cohort is in — free, today. Questions about mapping cases to your syllabus? Email us; we read every message.
We reply like humans, not a ticket queue. Usually within 1–2 business days.
