After just finishing the first test, I already have another one on Tuesday. Who knew you could cram 3 tests into a five week class? What makes this a little different than the other classes is that each lesson is a building block on the previous one. So, we have to know everything from the last test to be able to do the things on this next test. I guess this is how school is supposed to be, I just haven’t taken a math based class in awhile.

We only covered a few new topics, so it shouldn’t be that difficult. I just have to make room on my cheat sheet for the new information. I think, I am going to study a little differently for this test and see if it makes any difference. He provided us with old exams that I didn’t take advantage of last time. Maybe this time I will review them.

Luckily after the exam I don’t have class for a week due to Thanksgiving…sweet.

I am already two weeks in to my statistics course and have already had one exam. I was very nervous going into this course as it was Statistics II. I was hoping it would be an intro course, but I guess this is grad school and I shouldn’t expect everything to be easy.

The professor is great and has reviewed some basic statistic information before diving right in. He has a great way of explaining things several different ways so you can always find at least one way to understand things. Who would have thought that statistics might actually be interesting.

We are also having to read a book for the course. It is kind of an interesting read. It more or less debunks a lot of theories such as people who adopt are more likely to conceive, basketball players have hot shooting streaks, etc. People always assume these things, but they are not statistically accurate.

The first test was ok I think. I should find out my grade this week. It was 25 short answer questions. There was some math, but not too much. Plus, we were allowed to have a cheat sheet which was nice. Anyway, I will let everyone know how the class progresses. I am ready for the Christmas break.
