When I first saw that IS 301- Techniques of Computer Analysis, I was quite concerned. I had no idea what the class would entail or how I would approach it, being your typical IS major who freaks out seeing any type of statistic or graph when reading an article. I was not a fan of AP Statistics whatsoever and tried to avoid the course and its materials as much as possible as a college student. I expect this course to be a lot of what I am trying to avoid: numbers, graphs, and interpreting and analyzing statistics and data. So far the class seems to be moving at a pace which will allow me to embrace the benefits of working with statistics in political and social sciences. I simply know I will have to work hard in this class in order to obtain these benefits.
