u/UWaterBiolLoo: “… Looking for some info on BIOL 461 Advanced Biostats. I just took BIOL 361 and there was really no math involved, it was very theoretical and we worked off the outputs provided for us on exams. …”
u/baksuchyeo: “Hey, I was in your class this term! According to this, BIOL 461 hasn't been offered since the Winter 2000 term, which was 16 years ago. So I doubt that it will be offered again any time soon.”
