Statistics Fall 2012

I have taken statistics twice. The first time I took it was 4 years ago and I most recently took it again this past summer (for some reason the course I took the first time won't transfer to any of the nursing programs I am looking at-a major bummer considering I took it at an academically rigorous 4-year university! Grrr...). Anyways, I also found stats to be enjoyable. Probability questions always presented the most trouble for me, but in general I found stats to be a lot easier than other math classes like calculus. As for tips, the class builds on itself so make sure you have a good foundation of the basics because they won't go away. Ask questions early so you are sure to have a solid understanding of the material. Good luck to everyone taking it this fall!

I'm taking stats now, too. It's an accelerated class - only 7 sessions! Each session is 4 hours. Around hour 3 my brain goes numb! I purposely took the stats class at the same college I'll be attending nursing school because it is actually listed as a psy class instead of math. As opposed to the community college where I would have paid much much less but it was a math with 2 pre-reqs to even take it. Math is my downfall (along with chemistry). So far, it's a LOT of info, but not impossible. Good luck!
