Abstract
Quantitative methods are anxiety provoking, but creating a supportive environment can help students. This pilot study examined social networks within two statistics classrooms. Results showed sparse networks, which became denser when adding in the instructor and TAs. Future studies should examine the influence networks have on stress in the classroom.
