I've had a similar discussion in statistics courses this summer. For all the non-stats majors (me included) the idea of learning SAS seems out of touch with how we will eventually work. However, learning to do basic statistics with Excel seems worth exploring. As I understand Excel will do ANOVA. Everyone has Excel, but few will leave the required stats-major-designed courses and use SAS in the workplace, especially since many of us will work in the corporate realm. (This is at the PhD level) If the stats courses required for non-stats majors were more responsive to how we will actually work in the future the classes might be more relevent and useful, possibly even more interesting. As it is, they are just a lot of work, confusing, and something to just struggle through. It's a shame they are not more responsive to the learners' actual future needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
