Has anyone taken Elementary Statistics online?

Question

I plan to sign up for the above-mentioned class and wish to ask those who have taken this class online and used Introduction to Statistics by Triola. How did your instructor conduct the online class? Did you use My Math Lab AW by Course Compass?

Anyone who still have the text book and the Mathlab, I am interested to buy them. Thank you.

Answer 1

I took the class, but because my life was getting so chaotic at the time - I ended up failing. Our instructor didn't require us to use the Math Lab, but my classmates who did use it found it very helpful.

I would like to suggest that if you buy the book, you make sure it is the right version. When I re-took this class, I was totally lost the first week or two because I had an older version and wasn't seeing the same things my instructor and classmates were seeing.

It seemed like a fun class! (then again, I'm into that kind of stuff) I wish my life hadn't been so busy so I could have focused more on it. And I hope that you enjoy it too!

P.S. I forgot to answer how the class was conducted. ... I attended classes at Colorado Technical University Online. It was much like going to a chat room. The instructor was the only one with the ability to voice chat and there was a "board" at the top of the screen where the instructor could write stuff or show slides.

I took a few online courses (like to become certified in HTML and CSS) that were conducted more like a discussion board. I did not like this setup as much since the whole class could view your work (and potentially copy it, only making a few small changes so that the teacher sees it as unique)
