Doomed

I am doomed on a stastics test that I will be taking today. Fortunately, I have been promised some delicious homemade casserole to save my day.

I tried. I cried.

What type of statistics? And what are you having problems with?

Statistics for engineers. The material itself isn't that hard, it's just that you don't get a formula sheet. There's literally thousands of formulas and I can never get them straight.

I always despised that sort of test. I did OK (pulled an A in my Stat with Calc back in '87), but come on, how often will an engineer have to do statistical analysis without a reference handy? Especially with the net around. They should teach you how to use the formulas, not make you memorize them.

Exactly. I will be able to look up ANY formula I want to when I am in the work force. Argh, I will definitely be forceful in that regard on this professor's evaluation.
