The course started off by stating how beneficial statistics is WRT our future careers. With the sheer amount of information coming in, how could one even appreciate and learn? The questions in finals are so different from those in tutorials. I reckon that the stats taught in poly is better than this mod, in terms of real-world application. For a world-renowned IHL, a better job can be done.
