I am taking Buec 232 with Mike Johnson right now.

Pros:

The class with Michael Johnson so far is pretty chill. Instead of starting at 8:30 in the morning, we start at 9. And sometimes he lets us out early. He is great at articulating the concepts and is a really great lecturer.

Also the concepts are not difficult to grasp. The material is basically statistics with topics such as ; sample mean, population mean, hypothesis testing, probability etc

If you take it with Mike Johnson you will have to do 2 partner assignments so choose your partner wisely. The rest of the assignments are like loncapa math only you get unlimited tries.

Cons:

The midterm was quite long and moderately difficult. You`ll definitely feel rushed to finish the questions. Although the format of the exam is all multiple choice, it`s all entirely word problem questions. So if you can`t do that then you are so screwed for this class. There are 40 questions each consisting of word problems and you`re only given less then 120 min. Doing all the problem sets will help you but the exam was still hard.

Average was 70%.


Now this is a general question for everyone


Has anyone taken Bus 237 ?

Can anyone provide feedback on that course and provide ways to do well I just need B+ in the course. My prof is Maryam ficociello btw.
