How is that going to work then if it's an in person final? For my on line classes, everything was done via elearning. Personally, I wouldn't recommend taking stats online. I would do an elective like a literature/history/liberal arts class if you can.

I have all my electives done, and very few classes by us are even given on-line. It's the only class that I need that is being offered.

Stats classes are usually algebra (if this is like RM 410 or something) with a touch more added in. If you feel like you know enough math for this to be easy then go for it. I took up to calculus in HS and then in college had to take one math class, so I took stats. Unfortunately, the teacher was an idiot and half the class was full of people coming back to school - it was a night class. We spent 3 hours on "Mean, Median, and Mode" and some of the people in there STILL didn't get it.

It's not a tough class usually, and wouldn't be terrible to take online. But do look at the syllabus and see if you have at least a general understanding of the material beforehand.

nearly all my classes for the College of Business at UF are online. It was a challenge at first... kinda different to watch classes casually at home. But I've grown accustomed to it. Its nice to watch lectures at 1.4x speed.... saves time haha.

I also have an online class this quarter. It will be my first time experiencing online classes and my first time experiencing a quarter system

I've heard from some that it can be a pain in the butt----more work than a regular lecture class, but i've also heard that it can be a piece of cake. Hopefully yours and mine go well!
