Many students enroll in Statistics expecting an easy credit but find it to be one of the most demanding courses. Those who took it in Fall 2021 during the COVID-19 term often ended up with their lowest grades. Contrary to casual online claims, statistics ranks among the toughest subjects, demanding a strong mathematical background, extensive formula memorization, and strict time limits on exams. Assignments require proficiency in R, a statistical software with a steep learning curve. To prepare properly, students should complete STATS 1LL3 before tackling this course.
