Course Format

ARC offers Statistics 301 in two modalities: lecture and hybrid.

Lecture. Instruction in these classes includes usage of calculators to perform statistical operations. Some instructors also require use of computers and statistical software (the type of calculator or software package used will vary from instructor to instructor). Computers are available to students in the Learning Resource Center. Additionally, software for use at home is often on a CD sold with the textbook.

Hybrid. Two-thirds of the course is online; students also meet with the instructor once a week, on average. This gives students personal contact with the instructor, to make sure they understand key concepts. Besides the main campus, the hybrid course is also offered as a late-start class through ARC's Ethan Way Center (close to CSUS and 15 minutes from the main campus).
