Random thoughts on Statistics test #2

[greybeta]

In regards to my second statistics test of the semester, I wept and gnashed my teeth.

If I don't score well on this one (I made a 62 on the first one), I am seriously considering withdrawing from the class. Unless it'll be withdrawing-F (if I withdraw from a class after the penalty deadline and I'm failing, it'll go down as an F on my transcript). I'm going to have to radically alter my study habits if I just want to make a B at this point.

The sad thing is that I felt confident.

Confidently doomed, that is.

Mmm.
I'm thinking about taking AP Statistics next year, which'll be my senior year of high school.
I've heard it's easier than my other options- calculus and Harder Calculus.
I'm bad at math, but no one believes me =(

Calculus is hard if you don't have spatial skills and don't know your trig.

Statistics really isn't that hard either, unless your teacher doesn't give you a formula sheet. Not only then do you have to do rote memorization, but you also have to remember which case to use it in. It gets rather confusing after awhile.

In any case, I'd take statistics if I were you. Statistics isn't math; statistics is a bunch of lies that are worse than the ones that Bush and Kerry are spewing forth right now.

I'm kinda glad I got that one out of the way already...

What statistics course are you taking? I was thinking of taking STAT 2013 (Intro to Statistics) with Van Nostrand next semester. But if it's the class you are taking right now, I'm definitely NOT doing it.

Fortunately for you, I'm getting pummeled in STAT 3813. I think the 2013 course won't be so bad.
