Dear Statistics Students, some advice in succeeding in class is students should attend class to understand the material better. The class is a four-credit class and we go through a lot of material and if you do not attended class it can cause you to miss the material.

Another key to success would be to practice and study the homework to become prepared for the quizzes. I would definitely work through the problems on the homework several times to understand how to do the math and to fix your past mistakes. When taking the quizzes and tests I would read the questions
