Had Dan Viggiani in S2023. The content was boring at times, but overall very applicable to future classes as it outlined different research methods and whatnot. The final exam we got a cheat sheet which was nice, but it was graded a lot stricter because of that. Weekly tutorials (4% each) made up 36% of the grade, and most of the time were easy 100s/completion marks, but were a little tricky sometimes.

very boring course unless you like statistics, however it is a fairly easy course if you put the work in.

The class isn't too bad but the content can be somewhat confusing at times, there was a midterm and a final, along with weekly tutorials that have assignments corresponding with each weeks tutorial.

Very practical, and fun! Classes were competing between groups to solve problems the fastest, with sweet prizes every week. You do need to do work ahead of time to learn the day's content so that you can compete, but if you do it is a very effective way of learning. After all the practice, you need next to no studying for the final, and you know exactly what will be on in and how you'll be graded. The final is very easy and straightforward, exactly the same as the problems done in class.

KIN232 tutorial 1 point, 2 comments
u/MsGossipGirl: “I wanted to take KIN232 in the spring, however see how there's a weekly tutorial that we need to take. Do any kin students know if this tutorial is attendance based, or will there just be an online assignment posted that needs to be completed during the time of class?”

KIN 232 vs PHIL 226 0 points, 3 comments
u/Ronaldocr7123: “I was looking for a 5th course for my Winter term and was deciding between KIN 232 (Kin stats) with Laura Jane Williams or PHIL 266 (Biomedical Ethics) with Brian Orend. I’ve heard good things about Brian Orend and was unsure which class I should go with. …”
u/iceycycle: “Isn’t KIN 232 required for KIN students?”
u/kincommando: “KIN 232 is not bird. I did it spring 2020 with Williams and finished with a good mark (exact 90) but there was a substantial amount of work to be done for studying for the midterm and exam. Assignments were pretty light though.”

u/kobegoatallday: “… Would they accept other courses like KIN 232 statistics for Kinesiology,”
u/synthesizingcinders: “… Still, I would highly recommend you send the admissions team an email asking for their permission to substitute in KIN 232 for the admission requirement, and link them to the course description (http://www.ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/2021/COURSE/course-KIN.htmlKIN232). …”
