Intermediate Statistical Analysis (BST 611)

Taken: Fall 2009
Instructor: Dr. Al Bartolucci


From someone who has no statistical background, this class was a good introduction to statistical analysis in a laboratory setting. We covered topics I have seen before (probability) and delved into other topics only relevant to those doing intense medical research (hypothesis testing). The class size was large and consisted of mostly Dept. of Public Health students and UAB researchers. It was also the largest class I've had at UAB so far. I recommend this class as a fine introduction to statistics without complicated math and easy-to-understand examples.

Advantages: Great teacher (hilarious!), Open-book tests, online notes, 2 TAs

Disadvantages: Lengthy homework assignments (but easy to figure out), large class size
