Statistics - d.cononge - 06-21-2018
Hey all,
I have 2 classes through SDC before completing my BSBA in General Management at TESU. I am attempting to complete them ASAP, simply because I want to be done. One of the classes that I need to complete is Statistics. I have heard that this one was not that bad, mostly focused on vocabulary and stuff like that. I just wanted to get some tips from those who have already completed this class about how difficult the material and final were. Also, how fast could I realistically get this course done, and are there any study tips for completing this course faster?
As always, you guys are of invaluable aid to me, and I appreciate your feedback!!

I was the one who said it was more about the vocabulary, rather than being able to do a lot of "math." The final was similar to the quizzes, maybe a bit harder. I did not "study" much except going through the course, and was able to get a 71% on the final, with an 80% overall in the course. Definitely doable, and it will probably take you a little over a week if you try to do a chapter a day (I did a chapter a day which was a good amount). Obviously, there is no trick to going faster, other than to just do more each day.

Here's my review of it from a few months back:
Provider: SDC
Course: Statistics 101:principals of statistics
Course content: typical sdc
Final exam format: 70 multiple choice
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: the final emphasized concepts over calculations and formulas
Time taken on course: 2 weeks
Familiarity with subject before course: pretty familiar with math in general before hand and a little familiar with statistics concepts
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: I didn't bother trying to commit too many of the harder formulas to memory. I basically just took those as a loss and still passed just fine by a wide margin
1-10 Difficulty level: 4
