<p>Both seem to test the same material, except Stats 103 seems to be slightly more math-oriented.
I'm not sure whether I want to major in Econ or not (leaning more towards no now).
Which class is easier: 101 or 103?</p>
<p>I haven't heard anything about 101, but I do have some insight on 103. I took it this previous spring semester with professor Dinwoodie. As far as instruction for 103, Dinwoodie is by far the worst professor I have had, I don't think anyone in the class actually learned a thing about statistics. Going to lectures was really pointless, you could pretty much make it through just by reading the book (the chapters are very concise and have a lot of example problems). Because of all of this, however, the class was pretty much a joke. The exams were pretty easy multiple choice and 30% of the grade was homework and labs that as long as you did them, you got a 100%. If you don't care about learning anything, and just want a relatively easier chance at an A, take 103 with Dinwoodie, although you probably will become frustrated halfway through the class at the complete ineptitude of the professor.</p>
<p>I'll leave 101 to another poster.</p>
