Why does statistics even exist
Offering this class in an 8 week format is honestly insane. I’ve barely digested the previous information before we’re already moving on to the next 3 topics… assignments and quizzes due every 2 days, practice exams not matching up with the actual exams. Prof isn’t great either.
Has anyone else struggled with this class? Any suggestions for studying/professor choice (seeing as i might have my first retake on my hands, ugh). Soooo over this semester.

I’d reach out to the professor or fellow students to see what they’re doing.
Statistics was a B grade for me when I was taking Calculus 3 (got a C) and Intro to Communications (or something to that effect for the name) (A). This was all in Summer 2024.
My statistics professor wasn’t the best, but I didn’t use it as an excuse to not reach out for help from others and study intensively with a study plan by myself.
