ST1131 review (NUS)

in this review, i will be giving the rough description, assessment criteria and difficulty. i will not discuss about how easy or difficult to score a certain grade or what not. also, excuse my language.. i am not a professional writer.

ST1131: Introduction To Statistics

this module merely introduce you the fundamentals of statistics. i would say you might know most of it if you took Math during your JC years. you learn about methods of data plotting, normal distribution, sampling methods and what not. the bell curve is rather steep for this module. the midterm is MCQ but the final is open-ended. nonetheless, it will not be of much challenge to most.

as for grading wise, they grade you through midterm paper and final paper. yes, it is just those two.. might be a bad thing for some, good for others.

personally, i didn’t really spend much time revising this module. this module never sent me into any state of panic or anxiety if you know what i mean. nonetheless, one has to still catch up on it now and then. the midterm paper can be rather straightforward. final paper might be just a little tricky. i think this module really reaches to the minute details like definitions and what not.. things that some people will tend to overlook as they think that they would have naturally knew those concepts and definitions.

as for tips from someone who has taken this module, don’t be complacent. many people go down that slippery slope and some crashed and burned. then again, no need to put yourself into too much stress for this module. do the papers they will provide you and i guess you will be fine.
