Interested in learning with a small group of fellow students?
The GLC also offers small-group Practice Sessions for STAT 301, 324, and 371. These optional, non-credit sessions are a way to work through additional problems related to your course material, with experienced TAs and Peer Mentors on hand to guide you.
We’ll have more information on these soon!
What else is available?
No matter what Statistics course you are enrolled in, you are welcome to join an Accountability Group! These are groups of your fellow students across CDIS courses who find that having a study group to keep them honest is helpful.
