Probability & Statistics

WTH? Bell curved the grades down?

The final was damn near impossible, going far beyond the material covered in class, though it was covered in the book that we barely touched all semester.

That's effed up. Sounds like some teacher done goofed all year long. "I know how to fix it."

I'm feeling triggered now.

Undergraduate statistics is likely to be pretty straightfoward. I was a math major and took two semesters of statistics in undergrad and one or two in graduate school. Statistics is mathematics, but it's a different way of thinking and it can be hard to shift. It's really important to learn, but it scares a lot of people.

It looks childish, but I highly recommend this book:

I was a CS major with a math minor. I took probability and stats classes at every opportunity from different departments to fulfill electives. They all had intro classes that were largely the same - psychology, economics, sociology. I must have taken five or six of them because I could sleepwalk through it.

Your kid will ace it.

Thanks guys. I'm going to talk with one of the profs but I'm pretty sure he's taking the online class. Besides, can't have him and his girlfriend getting out of class at noon with time on their hands.

You know you're sleeping in sheets that they crusted, right?
