Students who plan to take the Sequence A are strongly encouraged to begin preparation for Psychology 310P over the summer. There are several reasons why you should do this. First, there is a wide range of quality and depth of coverage in undergraduate courses in statistics. Some students will have had extensive experience, and will have used statistics recently in research work. Other students will have only one or two weak courses, and may have forgotten much of what they learned as undergraduates. We want your experience at Vanderbilt to be a positive and productive one. Psychology 310P, like most introductory graduate courses in quantitative methods, assumes a certain background level of statistical knowledge. If you do not possess this minimal background, you will find the course more difficult than you should, and may find yourself at a competitive disadvantage. So, regardless of your background level, we urge you to take the time this summer to prepare for Psychology 310P. The review process should take you only a few hours a week if you begin now. Here is what you should do．
