How do you study for this course? I read some of the textbook stuff, however there is unnecessary information that the prof hasn't talked about in lecture. So I'm not too sure what I should do.. Also, I'm having a little trouble understanding some of the concepts, is there any way I can clarify these concepts?
Also, any are there any ta's you would recommend that are helpful in the stats course?

How was the final exam for this course?
Is it like the midterms where you can just study the practice midterms and you're fine?

Unfortunately, I am not a person who can remember a thing about a test after I've written it... By the next day, the entire experience is gone from my memory. I would just say "Practice, practice, practice!!", even beyond the midterms. You never know when they're going to change it up.

When I took it 2 years ago with Childs, the final was identical in terms of types of questions to the practice midterms and practice final. However, things may have changed since then, but definitely focus on understanding those practice problems from the sample tests!

I'm a bit scared for this one. It's worth quote a bit and all the Ho cases are hard to remember...

I would recommend making a chart and then trying to fill it in by memory several, several, several times. It worked really well for me!

all you really need is to study the practice tests at the back of the lab manual.
his tests use VERY similar questions.
I never went to any of the labs, I did all the minitab at home- all you need to do is buy or download the software

Depends on your prof really... For Childs the midterms and exam questions came straight from the practice problems.
