Ed4Credit Statistics - rowan555 - 03-08-2017
Has anyone taken this one? My son is completing MIS there this week and I'm considering enrolling him for Stats as well, but not sure I want to pay the $195 for it. He is stats-phobic so I'm looking for the least threatening version of the course I can find. Straighterline uses Saylor's stats course, which is not appealing, and Study.com has a closed book final, which is also not appealing as he's incredibly anxious about memorizing the formulas, etc. Really just looking for the simplest/safest course of action to knock out this dreaded requirement.

$20 for Aleks.com! If he passes the initial assessment at 70%, then he is done. If he scores lower than that, then he can work his way through the topics on the pie chart until he reaches 70% or higher and then force an assessment. Once he has 70% or higher after an assessment, he has passed the course. No proctor. No stress.

"No stress"? Not for my son. He spent 6 weeks muddling through ALEKS stats and gave up - he found it impossible. Hence my trying to find a more workable solution.
