I'm waiting at the moment to hear back from the University of South Dakota for the fall semester ADN. In the meantime, I'm taking 9 online credit hours- one of the being statistics.
Was anybody else crazy enough to do this? How did you fare? I've never taken a math class online, but did pretty well in my algebra classes (A, B+), so I'm wondering if I'm just nuts or if it's do-able. And if it is, do you have any pointers? Words of encouragement? Or just general commiseration? :)
I am taking it online with MSL as well. I wish we had video lectures! We just have fairly basic outlines and the textbook. patrickjmt.com has some great stats videos though!
I took Statistics on campus in the fall. Statistics is a doable course. What helped me many a days in Statistics were different statistics apps that I downloaded off of my iPad. The following apps were Simple 'N Easy Statistics & Probability, Khan's Academy Statistics, Khan's Academy Probability, Statistics and Probability Tutor, and different statistics videos via ITunes U app. Most of all in addition to practicing your assigned work do more problems. You would be just fine like me. I survived Statistics with an A-. Good luck..HUGS!!
