Has anyone taken statistics online?

Published

I'm considering taking Intro to statistics online in the fall because I'm taking 13 hours & couldn't find a time to take it that didn't conflict with my other classes.

I've heard the teacher posts videos & resources to help with it, but I've never taken an online class before.

Yes, I took it online. I was not a huge fan of online and feel that if I had taken it in campus I would of had a better grade. I did well enough I currently tutor it, but I'm still a bit annoyed with it lowering my GPA.

I took it online. I got a high A, but I love math. I would definitely not recommend it to anyone who doesn't like to teach themselves, or isn't really comfortable with math.

I will be taking stats online this fall. I signed up with a professor who has a good reputation for being helpful to her students when needed. I heard that Stats online is the devil. I am not the worst, nor am I the best in math. I have resources available to me on and off campus to help when needed.

I did stats online this past spring and got an A. Make sure you read the book and any videos the instructor posts and are comfortable teaching yourself. If you are ok with math you should be fine. For our class we used statcrunch which I thought was very helpful

I also took stats online. If you do well with teaching yourself, you can do it! I recommend using YouTube to learn how to properly use the calculator, it makes all the difference and cuts the time spent doing the work tremendously!

Khan Academy had great resources for the basic stuff like z scores and probabilities.
