Statistics 201
===Statistics 201===
The subject is important, and the material can be interesting at times, but much too much emphasis is on learning to use the software (JMP) and interpreting computer output, which is not interesting. This is mainly a technical class, not exactly an integral part of your liberal arts education.
 
*Dissent: Stat 201 with Professor Botts is most assuredly <b>not</b> all about software or data output. In fact, there was almost none of that in Botts' 201 section this semester. While it isn't exactly earth-shattering, high-concept, abstract math, it is by no means a technical course.
Also, if you happen to have taken AP Statistics in high school, then STAT 201 will literally be about 95% review for you.
