STAT 200/20010
- non-quantitative students
- At the start of STAT 200, they have no particular plans to take STAT
220/234 or further STAT courses.
- STAT 200 is intended to be a General
Education course; an exploratory adventure, not a “warm up” for STAT
220 or 234.
STAT 220: Students who …
- took AP Statistics, but want to review prior to taking follow-on
statistics courses, or
- plan to take any course whose prereq is completing a standard “STAT
101” course, or
- plan to major in a quantitative field, or
- want to start the Statistics minor early (after just a little or
even no calculus at UC), or
- want to start taking electives in the stat major early and need an
intro stats prerequisite course
STAT 234
Same as for STAT 220, except
- have a strong interest in exploring some math behind the statistical
methods and already completed a year of calculus or
- want to explore the combined applied/theory “style” of the major
early and use the course as a “warm-up” for STAT 244-245
STAT 118-119
- are designed for students in quantitative and
non-quantitative fields who need tools to investigate
questions using data
- STAT 118-119 is about equal to STAT 22000 + computational tools of
collecting, managing, storing, processing and visualization of data
- STAT 118-119 is less mathematical but more computational than STAT
22000
