Stats and (new) Research

[HeyNurseLB]

Hi all,

My understanding is the format of Research has recently changed. For anyone who has taken the new version, do you find taking Stats before Research was necessary or helpful? The syllabus doesn't really give much help in that aspect.

I only ask because if I HAVE to take Stats before Research, I'm going to end up with a month long break, and I'm hoping to avoid that (and just get done!). Thanks!

Statistics is a prerequisite for Research at UTA. You must take it before you can enroll in Research.

Thank you! My brain was so muddled with trying to map out courses I misread the pre-reqs and thought it was college algebra that was required.

Do you happen to know or remember if there is a window for taking the proctored exams, or are they only available on one day? Can we take them whenever we want to schedule them through Proctor U? I appreciate it!

I'm not sure as I took stats before it was proctored (thank goodness). You will have to take college algebra before stats, though. Just an FYI. You may want to look at a community college to complete stats.

I took stats as my first class at UTA in January....the proctored exams are available from Tuesday to Saturday, If you don't schedule 72 hours prior to the date you want to take the exam you have to pay a little extra. This was a very tough class for me and math is one of my stronger subjects! I started off taking it with another class and ended up having to drop the second class...cause it was just too much. I highly recommend taking STATs alone if you choose to take it at UTA. Hope this helps.
