I’m an incoming freshman who’s somewhat (not 100%) interested in majoring in stats. I would consider myself generally fluent in basic stats (I got a 5 on the AP stats exam), and from what I see on the Duke advising page, sta 199 seems like the natural starting point for me.

however, it seems that there is anything but a consensus on the usefulness/difficulty of this course. After reviewing the course description, it seems like there is some merit to taking this course (ex: learning R). That said, I’ve seen wildly mixed reviews of the course, so I thought I would come here.

should I bother taking this course or should I go straight to more advanced, 200-level courses?
