The Gospel according to @AL_Supertramp; could not have said it better myself. Spot on assessment. My 4.0 was blown up for this class as well. According to Dr. Koksal's news forum post, there will be a curve for the course. The average for the final test was 70%. I'm surprised it was that high honestly. I understood the concepts of linear regression, but the test was not an indicator of the understanding of the concepts. The wording of questions I felt was purposefully deceiving, and not being able to write anything or have a piece of paper to write out and solve for variables in the equations was off-putting as well. Like you said; onward and upward.

@CCGRAD87 they do take the entire tuition bill out of your first disbursement.

@Jeaux Cool & @AstroTiger, taking ISDS 702. Astro, the same thing happened to me the second week; made the worst grade I've made in the program by far. Felt like the generating the hypothesis with the ambiguous (IMO) wording of the problem was tough. I feel like Dr. Koksal glosses over some aspects that should be emphasized. I've attended the extra sessions, but to me, they are not really helpful.

I've been utilizing videos by Brandon Foltz on YouTube, and that guy is awesome. If you are having issues in the class, I highly recommend his videos. I have gone back to week 2's topics and have a much better understanding of the material. I also watched the videos for week 3's materials and made a B on that homework.

I'm not sure if anyone has tried to contact him via email, but I have attempted twice with no luck in responses.

Thanks for investigating @Signa7, it looks like I will be doing the Data Analytics specialization rather than the concentration. I really enjoy Dr. Meeks, so I'll find one of his classes to fill the elective.
