Fairly easy material - definitely easier than any STATs course.

easy if you go over your cheat sheet before the midterm! don't spend too much time looking. make sure you know where things are on it.

It is statistics so you already know it's going to be dry. The lab is also a waste of time. A really frustrating class to take but you are allowed cheat sheets for the second midterm and for the exam which makes it way easier.

“I am going into my 2A in the Fall term. I am majoring in psychology and I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Arts. …”

u/oublie: “… KIN 222, the intro to stats course that you would take in the fall, is really straightforward. It's straight plug and go formula work, and the course is designed in a way to help you. STATS 316 shouldn't be difficult either, because it's just computer work basically. …”
