On Reddit: "I don't know about how many students were from stats background, but the cohort was small (maybe 20 people). I am a Bioinformatics major and did not take any stats besides STAT1201 before doing STAT3306. I would not say that SCIE2100 gives you the technical background for STAT33…"
On Reddit: "Yeah I thought that it would be like the second half of STAT2004 but focused on genetic data. My main criticism of the Stats courses at UQ is that we don't work with actual real world datasets enough, so I'll give this course a go"
