This course is meant to give you a graduate-level understanding of statistics so that you can comfortably and critically analyze research in an informed manner as an NCU Learner, and in your life. This section explores why it is important to have a base level of knowledge in statistics as an academic scholar and involved citizen.

Therefore a major goal of this course is not only to enhance one’s computation proficiency, but to understand the conceptual nature of statistical data analysis. This section introduces you to important concepts that are central to statistics including sampling, units of measurement, observation versus experimentation, using percentages to convey information, and different forms of studies.

Course Reflection: During this course I was able to complete all of my assignments on time. My mentor was very helpful in providing feedback however, she did take advantage of the allotted time to return work completed. I really enjoyed this class and found it to be very challenging.
