Honestly I think she selected qualitative by defaut of fear. She is courageous and smart, but this class has her a bit shook.

Agreed! I appreciate this point and will help her see it that way. I think there should certainly be a early conversation with the Instructor on the concepts and expectations in this class. That would certainly focus the conversation. Setting sights on only passing the class isn't really ideal, but it is an important step. Obviously learning the material is the goal.
Thank you for the text recommendation. I found PDQ stat on Amazon.

By An epidemiologist
Format:Paperback
This book is the only statistics book of its type. For each section covering a specific statistical method (from simple methods to those you may not even cover in your PhD training), a concise 2-5 page summary is presented. The goal is not to enable the reader to calculate any of these statistics, but to understand conceptually what each statistic means. This is where it can fill in information other statistics texts never get to. A student (or researcher!) who can churn out factorial ANOVA results, but doesn't truly understand what they mean can turn to this book for clarity. It's simple (for statistics), it's short, it's clear, and you have to love a book that is dedicated "To the many people who have made this book both possible and necessary -- authors of other statistics books"!
Last semester my pharmacy school program made us self learn/review stats with this book.
Worst stats book ever. I also hate seeing math scribbled on powerpoints,
I think I've done enough complaining for one day...
If you're just starting out I might suggest the following websites for an intuitive understanding of statistics. I think they're better than most books for visualizing and explaining the fundamentals.

As far as books go for intuitively understanding the basics: there's PDQ Statistics, I also like the stats for dummies books.
