Dread math, but need a statistics class? Register for SOCS 225 Statistical Techniques this Spring 2024 How delivered: Face-to-face When: Wednesdays, 11:30 a.m. - 2:15 p.m. CRN 62404 If you hate math, but need statistics for your major, this is the class for you. We'll learn the theory behind statistics and how to interpret stats, but leave the math to the computers. This course is typically required for a 4-year social science degree like psych and social work, so take the class at WCC with Lisamarie in a fun, collaborative environment instead of a large, boring lecture hall. If can, also take with PSY 212 (CRN 62551) and share one project between the two classes. Math prerequisite can be waived by emailing Lisamarie (bensman@hawaii.edu) #statistics #psychology #mathisnotmyfavoritesubject #lovestatistics #windwardcommunitycollege #wemakeitfun

If you were interested in the issues brought up in our chapter on externalities last semester, you would be interested in this course.
