May 21, 201313 yr I passed but would have really benefitted from a tutor. It would have decreased my frustration level. I personally did not like online stats and did not feel that my prof or TA taught the way I needed to be taught to learn. It wasn't their fault, it is just the drawback of online learning. Khan academy videos are helpful. If you are like me, there is no substitute for someone standing over you stopping you when you make a mistake and guiding you in the right direction. Good luck. You can do this.
May 22, 201313 yr Thanks for the responses everyone :) luckily my significant other is math minded and has been helping me. I really hope I can pass this class because I do not want to have to take it again!!
May 31, 201313 yr Well, I have an update on the OU stats class...I had to withdrawal ! What finally did it was after spending from 11am to 2am on one assignment and still not "getting it." I don't consider myself a quitter, but I need more than 5 weeks to get through statistics. I've been doing some research on the best class for me, and I found a stats class specifically for nurses all online, as much time as you need through the University of Rochester. It's NSG 311. Has anyone taken this class? OU said I could take it and it would count as my stats class. The thing I like about it is it's specifically geared toward nurses, there are no proctored exams, just 15 modules that you take a quiz on at the end, and you have as long as you need. I really would like to hear if anyone has taken this and their success with it. Thanks!
May 31, 201313 yr lonnaRn, sorry you had to drop. I am taking a stats class right now through northwest iowa community college online. 8 weeks, not to bad, tuition about $450 for the 3 credit class and no proctored exams. University of Rochester's tuition is unbelievable! WOW! $1600 per credit hour? Am I seeing that right?
May 31, 201313 yr Woodsyny, The class I want to take through U of R is 1,095 for the entire class. I will check again though with them to make sure it's not what you are saying . I will also check out the one you are taking. Thanks!
May 31, 201313 yr $1160/credit hour Fall Tuition: TBA [h=3]Summer Session 2013[/h]$1,050.00 [h=3]Fall Session 2013[/h]$1,092.00 This doesn't say if it is per credit/hr or class. Still too much to pay for a class, especially if it I coming out of your own pocket
Oct 26, 201312 yr How was the stats class you took at Iowa Community? did the credits transfer easy to OU? I was thinking about taking it there instead of OU.
Oct 26, 201312 yr It was a great class and very doable. Professor was great and I got an "A" and that was taking it with two other classes. Glad I took it there! It is an 8 week class. No proctored tests. There was a DB every week, a quiz which you could take as many times as you wanted to get the grade you wanted, and 3 tests which I believe were 30 questions and you had 3 hours to do them
Oct 28, 201312 yr Woodsyny, what is the # for the math class at Iowa? I was looking at their online catalog and couldn't easily find it. There was no difficulty transferring this class to OU?
Is anyone taking this course starting May 13. Has anyone heard anything about it.
