Statistics and BioChem at WGU

Published

I have just a few questions on a couple of the courses at WGU. For the Stats class, what would the difficulty level be? I have taken Stats twice at a community college and failed miserably, not for lack of trying, but the teachers I felt did not have a proper way of conveying the information, for example; on the first day in the community college stats class the professor stated that we are in the presence of a genius and we should bow down to him (give me a ******* break!) also the Biochem class, can that be compared to an Anatomy class somewhat in the difficulty level? I am not looking for easy ways to obtain degrees but I do not want to waste my time. Thanks for the replies!

I am having a hard time getting started with biochemistry. I am not sure exactly what they want with the diagrams. Do we just label them and explain the role of the enzymes or do we have to explain what everything does. I am calling the help line tomorrow but thought I might also get help here from those who might know.

Oh Gosh, NO!! Much less work at WGU. I looked thru the stas book at SL and it would have killed me with math

I'm in biochem c785 and I don't think it's the same biochem that everyone's talking about, this is pretty challenging. Only OA and PA. Anyone know if the PA and OA exams are similar or if they are drastically different?

Hi. Did you end up taking the Statistics course at Straighterline? If so, how was it? I'm considering doing that as well.

I just finished the statistics class through WGU. I am not a math person and I struggled a little in a few areas, but I did it in 5 weeks. The math helpline was very helpful. I'd just bite the bullet and take it with WGU. I scored really high on the pre-assessment which I was not anticipating, and took the OA two hours later.

I just started the biochemistry at wgu. I am not a nurse, so this is all brand new to me! Did anyone have to use outside resources or books to help them through the course? I took chemistry 4 years ago at a community college and I have no clue about chemistry. PLEASE HELP!

i took stats and communication at straighterline. i actually took stats many years ago, so i thought it would be easy, but there was a lot i didnt know. the class took about 3 weeks of studying a little every day. i wouldn't call it easy, and im good at math. i cant compare to wgu, but based on the feedback here i would say wgu might be easier.

Hi Jcat117,

Not sure if you'll see this, but wondering if you did take Stats through Straighterline and what you thought.

Thanks!
