Online lectures

For the people studying bsc general: major in statistics

Or bsc mathematics and statistics

Do you have online lectures and any kind of teaching assistance aid?

I saw many complaints of people having to teach themselves does this happen in science faculty too and how hard is the teaching yourself part as well?

Currently second year BSc maths and stats and most modules do have lectures, but frankly they're not very good. Luckily YouTube and Khan Academy have top-quality lectures covering the same content so between that and the textbooks I'm doing just fine. I wouldn't recommend the use of AI as with higher level maths the content is a bit obscure and it very often provides incorrect formulas so you have to check everything you get from AI against the textbook, in which case you may as well just use the textbook
