<p>I have a quick question for anyone who has taken poli sci 3. Does one really need to know statistics to be successful in this course or can most people pass this class without any formal knowledge of stats? I've never taken a stats class and I am a little concerned that I'll struggle a little bit in this course.</p>
<p>no. I never even took stats in high school… or middle school for that matter… xD PS3 is one of the easiest PS classes I’ve ever taken :)</p>
<p>Depends on your prof. Stoker doesn’t teach stats (just the concepts, not the “math”) at all, but I know the prof for Spring 2010 (so last year) had his students memorize some formulas. Most of it is conceptual I would think, going off of Stoker’s class (which I’m in right now).</p>
<p>Thanks for the insight. For some reason, PS3 is no longer on the 2011 course catalog… What’s up with that?</p>
<p>Dang, I think that’s because they found no one to teach it. That must suck, because I know at least one senior planning on taking it next semester. Oops.</p>
<p>bummer! haha</p>
