This course work plus load is unusually difficult for us as students. After hearing the ratio of pass/failure I can see why it is that the failure rate is so high.

This module consist of a lot of information, and the quiz ,group project and mid modules dates are very close is it possible for the submission of the group project or MSA be placed at a further date because we also have weekly quiz for this module which are graded out of 2%

Business & Economic Statistics is very overwhelming and I think the group work could have been an ideal final project for this course. It was done for Calculus last year.

Over the past few years I have been at UCC, I have never come across any course as difficult as Business Economics and Statistics. I tried everything in my power to get it right but nothing I do works. When it comes to my schoolwork, I am the most dedicated student a lecturer could have. I spent almost all my time on this course day and night because I knew I didn't grasp the concept. I read over my notes, watch over the recordings, watch YouTube videos, I’m present at every class, and I even write out the notes from each slide that sir gave because I know when I write, the more I remember, and that's how I pass accounts, but I’m doing the same now and its not working. I also write everything in my notebook because I wanted to study straight nonstop because my laptop dies after hours of using it and at midnights the light from my laptop hurts my eyes. Writing while studying is my only solution and I really can't think of another way. This course has gotten all my attention and I think its selfish to my four courses but what can I do when I come across my biggest weakness? I have always done four courses per semester but when I selected this course, I never thought it would be so challenging for me; otherwise, I would have done it alone in one semester but I'm doing four courses with all EOSE and it seems like I’m only doing business economics and statistics because my focus is all here. In my entire life, I have never done statistics before, and to be completely honest, I feel so overwhelmed, like I’m slowly going insane when I think of all the assignments, the study time, work, and household duties. I ask God to give me strength because my biggest fear is to fail this course when I’m still battling to pay my remaining 60% fee. Last Thursday we went through the group project and I didn't understand a thing. Because of this course, I feel like I don’t belong in university. My question to UCC is why is it that the group project has to be this difficult, especially in

As for me this is my 4th time doing this course, and it is a prerequisite for some other courses that I need to do, I still don't get why I have to even pass this course when it has nothing to do with my career. The lecturers are not listening and they make the course materials even harder. Those 2% quizzes are so heavy and I don't see where they make any sense. It is unfair, and UCC doesn't take persons into consideration. While I understand that we have to read for our degree I also believe that the lecturers for this course can do better. The group work provided, even the lecturer himself didn't understand what he was explaining! It needs to be reviewed because why is a group work even in statistics?

I concur the material is too much for such a short span of time. We need to forgo a EOS if we are going to do that big project.

I am a beginner learner but I feel like I am in an advanced class which makes it really hard for me to comprehend hearing something new for the first time.
