Obviously what I'm about to ask is going to vary greatly by school but I'm still curious to hear about any experiences you guys may have had. I'm about to take my first research course over the summer and I am terrible, I mean extremely terrible at statistics. In undergrad I just barely scraped by and I am extremely thankful that my 4.0 es (excluding statistics) got me into grad school. I saw the syllabus for this course and it definitely includes quantitative research methods, analysis and design. I am terrified as I have absolutely NO background in statistics (Seriously undergrad was B.S-ing my way through the course, I have no idea how I came out alive) and I'm wondering how much math/statistics did you guys go through in your basic research courses. In the past I have seen syllabuses look all professional and impressive only to have the class cover about a quarter of what was mentioned. I am hoping that in a social work program this is usually the case and they generally don't focus too much on the stats part. Yes, I subscribe to the stats are icky school of thought and I will stand by that until the end.
Thanks guys.
