I LOVED this class & I'm not even a stats major. Nobel makes this class enjoyable & quite simple. I was nervous about the subject but she lays everything out very clearly. I took the hybrid so just make sure to stay on top of videos & go to class b/c she reviews what was on the video. Do the practice exams a few times & you will be fine.

Many people don't pass the class because they don't pay attention, but if you put some effort into the class, passing is SUPER easy.
