I satisfied the math prerequisite for enrolment in Psych 292 (Basic Data Analaysis) but Im worried about taking Psych 292 because my math skills are weak. What should I do?
Assuming that you have satisfied the math background for taking Psych 292: Some students will earn grades in Psych 292 that are lower than they are used to getting in other courses. Some will report loss of confidence and feeling anxious and overwhelmed by the course material because they find data analysis and interpretation difficult and time consuming to master. Give yourself the best conditions for doing well in Psych 292. Suggestions: • Buy the textbook early and familiarize yourself with the relevant chapters before the course begins. The more exposure that you have with the material the more comfortable you will be with it in the long run. • Good study habits are important for mastering the course material and building your confidence.
