OP you need STAT specifically for Journalism? I'm assuming he doesn't need STAT specifically, but just a math course to satisfy his general stuff.

Usually it's either STAT or College Algebra no?
Yeah its just to satisfy General Education, but I think all of those courses are useless because they dont help me at all, save English 300 (College Level English)

heavenlee777 Im in STAT300 (Introduction to Statistics)

My answer is still valid regardless of what part of his degree the course actually satisfies.

I don't give a damb about standard deviations, population means, Sigmas, Z-scores, standard error of the mean, proportions or the rest of that %!@%. This class moves WAY too fast in the summer man. I'm done with this, its for the birds

Are you seriously asking why? Journalists need to study stats, they are far too often tricked by them and they, in turn, mislead the public.

I was a journalism major. They required one math course, so their default is an intro stats class. I tried my hardest and still got a C.

Statistics > your life
Real talk, if I could go back in time, I would have double majored with stats.

Stats > Calculus. I hate this damb class. I hate math all together, but whatever.
