SCI1020 or STA1010?

[andrewt191]

I'm starting my first year of Bachelor of Science, but I'm still unsure which stat unit should I take...
Can those who have studied the unit recommend which one to do based on past experience?
I scored around 35 in Methods last year and I'm looking to transfer to Melbourne in semester 2 to do something with Finance (so I need a high WAM).

Thanks guys!

edit: would it be useless to do MTH1010 (basically year 12 methods again)? Will melbourne look at it being the same as year 12 methods, even though I have a high mark in it (hypothetically).

STA1010 is the basic statistics unit, it's a good introduction to stats

Have you done STA1010, if so, is it easy to pick up?
Thanks

Haven't done it, but self studied it in my spare time, yeah it's a pretty easy unit esp if you haven't done any stats b4

We've mentioned this before, try using the search function next-time before you make a thread, probably a lot faster - SCI1020 or STA1010? CHM1011?
