I need to take an upper level Statistics class, and am leaning towards the University of Utah's online course. It has to be at least 300-level, online, and the price has to be right (less than $1000). If you have any other suggestions I'd welcome them.

To those who have taken this course, what did you think? Were the proctored exams open book? How long did it take you to complete the course? Any other info that you think would be useful, I'd appreciate!

I think it should be fine; I am taking Statistics online with UCSD as I am enrolled in their Data Mining program.

I'll be registering next week, and just wanted to see if anyone had any direct experience with this course.

I took it and wouldn't necessarily recommend it. It's 4 credits and do-it-at-your-own pace, but I found that the program often had glitches that their IT department was not quick to fix. There was also A LOT of busy work. I was just looking at New Mexico Jr College, and they offer a MUCH cheaper 3 credit online stats class. NMJC.edu

I'd recommend exploring other options. However, if you do choose to go somewhere else, I'd recommend referring to U of Utah's lectures, since they're available for anyone to read. Good luck!
