PSY 120 Elementary Statistical Reasoning

Anyone taken this course? I'm thinking of taking this with NRSE 451 Transitions in order to finish this course before the switch to semesters.

How difficult was this course? I've taken a lot of online courses, so that is not an issue. I am OKAY with math (I got an A in College Algebra by really applying myself). I'm also working 1 full-time job, and another part-time. I'm going to cut down on the part-time job though.

I am thrilled to be done too!:yeah: I was so scared of this class, and yeah it was tough but I did better than I thought I would.

I bought a Texas Instrument 30 ii xs and it was fine for the class; ran me about $16.00 but probably can get it cheaper than that.

I was able to use my el cheapo calculator for all calcuations just fine.

Thanks for the interview well wishes. I felt like the interveiw went well, though one never really knows....

I was told that I would be getting a second interview. I've been told that before and it didn't happen, so we'll see. Still crossing my fingers, really hard, as this would be a great low stess job.

Stats isn't so bad, IMO. It does take some time and you will probably find some things very confusing, but remain tenacious and you will get through. The bright side is that there are no references or citations needed, which is a welcome break from the normal BSN nursing class protocol. You'll all do fine, just keep at it!

Im freaking out here. I take the final tomorrow morning. I bombed 9&10 module. I worked through the examples and didnt have a lot of issues but when i got my answers they were mostly wrong. Im so discouraged right now. some of this just does not make sense to me. I do not want to fail this course, I feel I have worked hard to study these terms and understand. I love math but Stats is making me feel real stupid

Dumb question here and kind of off topic, but what kind of math courses uses those very expensive TI graphing calculator?

Just a note of moral support and to wish you luck. I would suggest to review all of the video's and go back to the discussion board and read the examples that are posted, especially for the questions that you got wrong.

There wasn't anything on the exam that wasn't on the assignments, but sometimes worded differently. And be sure to show your work, that can get you partial credit if they can see that you are understanding the overall "how to". I put sticky notes in my notes pages so that I could find the examples easily. I think that helped, but I did use every minute of the exam period.

Good Luck. Try not to stress too much. Remember to take a deep breath.

I just finished an intercession class and by the 6th exam I was freaked. You know what helped me? A few LARGE sips of a margharita!

I got my grade around 6pm this evening (I took it on Monday morning). I did better on the final than any other test or assignment for that matter. And that's a miracle considering I was actually awake then entire night before (and no, I wasn't studying, just could not sleep).

I'm tickled to DEATH I am finally done with this class that I have dreaded for so long! I'm happy with my C+; I was so worried I wouldn't be able to pass it at all!

Congrats!, I just saw my grade. I did OK, a little worse than the midterm, I will have to wait to see what they give me for the final grade, I'm right on the border of a B and A-, ( like less than a point). I too am glad it's over. But as far as my instructor and TA, this has been the best class I've taken so far.

I have so far to go, I don't know if I will be in a walker by the time I get done. Since I was a diploma grad from a long time ago, I have like 7 pre reqs to do in addition to the nursing classes.

Oh well, three down. See some of you in Evidence Based Nursing class in a couple of weeks.
