It's like other courses . It's progressive . Everything builds on everything else. Don't let any misunderstandings slip through the cracks, or it will snowball on you. It's weird .
Statistics is a unique and unusual topic involving some very abstract and weird ideas.
The peculiar nature of the subject makes the material very difficult to learn and retain. Despite its seemingly abstract nature, statistics are extremely useful tools that will make you a highly skilled and valued researcher. Although not an official phobia, many of us have a real and unavoidable fear of all those numbers and Greek symbols. If you are a sufferer of statisticophobia, please don't worry, I fully understand how you feel. Also, remember that you are not alone, and I'll make sure you make it through the course.
