【新生】学BSc in statistics的选课策略,想混这个major的就别看了

萨米

我凭我的认识帮大家弄一个新生（BSc major in statistics）选课的策略


Yr 1：S1: stats 101, math 150,math162,+GE
         S2: cs101, math 250, stats125, +GE
================
做一个留后路型的，如果你不确定想不想读stat，又想学cs的话，可以这样

Yr: S1, stats 101, maths 150, cs 101 +GE
      S2, cs 105, cs 225, maths 250 + GE

====================


Yr 2: SS: stats 208
         S1: stats  210, stats 255, maths 253,stats 220
         S2: stats 330, stats 370, stats 325, math 260
Yr 3: SS: stats 301
         S1: stats 310,  stats 326，stats 341
         S2: stats 351, maths 340, maths 270

这样就完成一个stats major并且有足够的学分读hon了。

有什么建议，再讨论。

另外还有，stat3xx的介绍

That list certainly give you a good background in stats. But if you are going to do so many maths papers, why you don't take 1 more stage 3 maths paper to get a major in pure maths?

萨米老大很强，写得很好。支持

一切很美~

good point,我以前就这样，两个major，但是再读post的话会觉得以前学的不够多。

不用精华，随便写写的。

我对GE的要求是什么不太清楚，如果我写的关于GE的有问题，请更正我，

glasszon

From what I know, it is not a good idea to do GE in your first year unless you are 100% certain it's something you won't do in the future. This is because normally by taking a GE paper, it imposes restriction against what papers you may take in the future (eg. taking stats101G will restrict you from doing further stats and maths papers, maybe compsci too) While for stats101G you can convert it into a non-G paper, but not all GE paper are offered like that (eg. sportsci100G, it is not available as a non-G paper, so if you ever do sportsci or psych or bio after you done sportsci100G, then your sportsci100G will be gone)

这个我还真的不知道，谢谢。

加进文集了，很大哥、很雷锋的帖子。

If you want to be a Stats hardcore you can actually do postgrad courses in your third year.  I lived it but I don't really recommend an overly focused study in your Bachelor degree.  Especially for stats, it's very useful, yet completely useless at the same time if you don't have an actual area (medical, finance, market research, bussiness, biology, physics, psychology...) to apply on.  So do use the GE as an opportunity to develop your second interest.

Doing more computing will be good even you're not heading towards a computer science degree.  For one thing, computer scientists struggle without a computer, but statisticians can't live without one...

没有读过GE的人

剛進學校的時候 s1沒讀stats108

所以現在stats的課讀得有點慢

還剩很多要讀

Wouldn't it be better for someone to do more stage 3 in their undergrad so they have a wider range of papers to choose from when they do their Hon year? Since I know most stage 7 are based on the stage 3 courses.

dk7

These are my 3rd year papers:

302, 310, 320, 325, 330, 340, 391

So guess I've done enough? : )

glasszon

, are you actually one of the stats tutors in the assistance room? Couldn't really figure out who you are.

z-score

He is a very famous guy in the stats department, more famous than me.

dk7

I was, but that's before you became a varsity student.  And man, doing that many stats paper is actually a curse if you become an assistance room tutor.  I also worked in the lab for some time too but can't do that now.  Too much happening with this one thing in life...

I tend to keep a low profile, especially on the net.  So the chances are, you wouldn't know me until you know me ^O^

dk7

Na, I'm far more infamous among the security guards and cleaners than I'm famous in the stats department...

z-score

Yeah yeah, i hate it when i'm working in the assistance room and my class mates for stage 3 papers come in and ask me stuff about our assignment.

z-score

haha, i hate some of the security guards, but i like the cleaner lady. I always talk to her  about her familly.

dk7

I used to talk to the cleaners a lot, especially the older man (because I had known him for so many years {in a way a }), but to avoid being further blacklisted by the securities I tend to go home earlier these days.

Those securities are just carrying out their jobs, and in fact most of them are very nice.  I've no complaints.

glasszon

Would I see you around in the stats department? I might be a marker this semester, although David Smith said there is no chance for me as a tutor, since there are people with like 6 stage 3 A+ in stats and still didn't get the job.

dk7

Um... the chances are there, but I tend to come in rather late and neither do I come as often as I did.  So let's see ; )

z-score

wow, is that the requirement now? I never got that many A+s. haha, I hope I never have to come back to study again.

glasszon

Don't worry, you got the experience already, so I don't think you will have problems coming back as a tutor if you wanted to.

z-score

I hope I never have to come back to uni and study. Just imagine the full time income I would lose. And the lifestyle I have to give up.
