[nabs-l] AP statistics

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,

When I took stats I did not use a graphing calculator.  My professor
was able to give me formulas to use either in Excel or manually to get
the same results.
For me, graphing was a huge part of the curriculum, but it was the
part of stats I did really well in.  For me, it was pretty easy to
picture the graph in my head and to calculate the points, and I would
just write it out in prose and my professor would plot the points as
he was grading my work.

A big thing for me was making sure I had all the materials for graphs
in tactile format, and that was a huge struggle for me personally.
However, as long as that is taken care of I think you'll be fine.  I'd
recommend having something like a sensational blackboard or another
type of tactile drawing kit on hand, so the professor can quickly draw
the graph for you when one isn't pre-made or easily described in words
while he's/she's trying to teach.  My blackboard helped me in the
classroom on more than a few occasions.
