You will learn undergraduate level probability for 2 weeks and undergraduate level statistics for 10 weeks. When I took it, there were biweekly assignments, 1 midterm exam and 1 final exam. All questions were fair. No tricks. Use the textbook and assignments to guide you. They are very useful. This course is completely doable even for those who have NO background in undergraduate probability and statistics. You could even get by with pre-university math knowledge (A level, IB, Grade 12 Ontario, etc.). However, you will have to work a lot harder to grasp the basics.
