Statistics
Course Overview
This course fulfills a math requirement for many majors. This course aims to provide an understanding of the basic statistical concepts and their applications. Both classes cover t-tests, ANOVAs, Chi-square, and Regression.
Psych 1110 Elementary Statistical Reasoning
The course includes 10 modules. To meet the module objectives, you have to complete the assigned textbook readings, read the lessons provided by the instructor, complete the module assignments, and take the Midterm and the Final Exam. You will work independently to complete all these tasks and thereby, understand the statistical concepts covered in the course.
As this is an online course and lasts only 5 weeks you will need to be highly motivated from start to finish. If you are to get all you can from this course, you will need to stay up with the readings, activities, assignments and exams.
