PSY 120

Published

looking for moral support for this class. I have printed out the 1st assignment and I am already hating the class LOL.

Specializes in PICU.
where is the 10 week version? Not in the outreach program I'm assuming.......All I ask is for a 70 to pass.........

No I searched for it separately. It is with prof K. and it is either code 5488 or 5358 in case you are interested. I just wanted more time, five weeks of stats with two proctored exams just seem horrid to me, plus I'm taking four other classes as well, so there was no way to do it in five weeks.

Don't blame you one bit! I'm gonna go with the 5 week and hope for the best!

Just got my grade for my ONE WEEK intensive statistics class at my local University. I squeeked by with an A minus. It was very challenging but I am so glad to have it done and over with

Tell me, how much algebra is there to this class? It's got me spooked. Did you go into it feeling confident or nervous?

How much time are you spending on the assignments?

All you need to know is the order of operations. Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

Do everything in parentheses, then exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.

There are very scary looking equations in statistics...however, my class did not have you memorize equations.

The math is not hard. The concepts of statistics and which analysis to use at the time is the hard part.

Not sure what the statistics class is like with OU...but don't be afraid of it. My class emphasized EXCEL which does a lot of the math calculations for you.

If you have a simple calculator you can do the math in statistics.

I am taking it right now through OU. I'm a dummy when it comes to math. I have hired a tutor to help me with the assignments. I pray I pass the midterm. I did confirm we only need a 70 % in this class. I have a 93 after the 1st 3 assignments. I pray I make it to the end.

I see my stats class on Blackboard, but it is not available yet. I wish I could get a big head start on the assignments. I'm nervous about this one.

Specializes in ICU, step down, dialysis.

I'm very nervous about this one too. I hope they use the book "Seeing through Statistics" more often, it seems more user friendly than that other book I got. I should have got the book Statistics for Dummies, maybe I'll go check it out at the library and see if it's worth buying. This class scares me more than any class I have to do. I'm awful at math.

I am taking stats starting august 27th. We are all in the same boat....we can do this!! I received some very useful information about a tutoring website:

Statistics | Khan Academy

There are a lot of videos but it may help you somewhere. I plan on reviewing in the 2 week break before class.

I thought stats started August 18th. And thanks for the tip on the web site, it looks like it will be really helpful
