Does anyone have any good advice for the EASIEST (emphasis on EASIEST), cheapest and fastest way to satisfy the EC quantitative reasoning requirement? I know about ALEKS and the DSST exams. Wondering if there were any other options, particularly for an Intro or Elementary type course and particularly one that can be "tested out" of.
Statistics would serve me well in the long run. How much math is a prerequisite for an intro stats exam?
Thanks and best to all.
My suggestion is expensive, but you should look at the 4 credit stats class I am taking (starts Tuesday) at Harvard through their Extension. Undergrad credit for the class is $800 (grad credit $1700), but requires no prior knowledge or math ability LOL. This is the nicest looking math class ever- I'm actually excited about it. The distance classes are "taught" in semi-live time (48 hour delay) and so you have the info presented to you vs. self teaching. Really though, the exams will be open book and the class is 100% distance (you fax in homework). You can "meet" the professor and watch the first hour of lecture for free.
