Following a learning-by-doing approach, the course's lab sessions introduce students to statistical computing. Through a series of hands-on exercises, we learn to work with a variety of data formats and use the programming capabilities of our statistical analysis software (e.g. Stata) to effectively manage and analyze data.
In addition to completion of Econ 110, there is a probability and statistics prerequisite for this course. This probability and statistics prerequisite can be fulfilled by completing ECON 103, MATH 132, or PSYC 200. It can also be fulfilled by receiving a score of 4 or 5 in AP Statistics, by receiving a 5, 6, or 7 on the IB Higher Math test. Pre-req overrides will be approved by the instructor teaching Section 01 of ECON 300. |
