I've never been strong in statistics and I'm feeling anxious about the impending stats class I'm going to have to take at Towson University. Any suggestions for which class or professor is easiest?
When it comes to selecting an "easy" statistics class, it's crucial to remember that the difficulty of a class oftentimes depends more on your interest and willingness to put in the necessary effort than on the specific class or professor.
However, on the note of your question, some students have mentioned that MATH 231 – Basic Statistics can serve as an ideal start. This class is designed for students with no prior knowledge of statistics, and often provides a well-structured and paced curriculum. It's good to note that enjoying the class and understanding the material will ultimately depend on the effort you put into it.
As for professors, ratemyprofessors.com is a good resource to check out. As everyone's learning style is different, though, it's essential you consider reviews with a grain of salt and look for professors who seem most compatible with your style.
In any case, don't get too anxious! Plenty of resources are available on campus and online to help you succeed, like tutorial sessions, office hours, study groups, or apps and websites offering comprehensive tutorials and practice problems. Good luck!
