My bitterness lingers from the 90s.
To be fair, I'm snarky because plenty of colleges (and way too many high schools) still do this shit because it's not about the knowledge, it's about the signalling to employers that the student will make a good cog in their machine.
To anyone struggling in a stats course: real data science is programming, not math. If you're on Lemmy there is a good chance you're a better data scientist than your hack of a teacher.
...my stats professor is a programmer, though. Are you not talking about high level statistics courses? A lot has changed since R and Rstudio has been developed. (It's FOSS!). All of my assignments are either proofs in LaTeX or questions that involve programming.
( If you're in a stats course and using excel, you are learning stats for babies. Your class has business majors in it.)
Memories of my professor in early 2010s teaching us to do it by hand in case the power at work ever goes out and we don't wanna get fired ...... based on his 90s work experience.
He was fun though.
