So I am taking Statistics right now as a Junior. I have to take two STEM classes because it is a requirement. Let me tell you, statistics in college is nothing like statistics in high school; not even by a long shot. I'm doing pretty well, which I am happy. However, a friend of mine who is a fellow English major told me that any person who majors in English and takes Stats gets either a "B" or "D", no in between. To me that is crazy, how is it that English majors just do not understand stats? I may never know the answer because I haven't asked anyone yet. Below are seven different feelings that I have come across since being in a stats class.
1. I give up
Sometimes I am just ready to give up in stats class.
2. I'm confused
Can you maybe write out the whole problem and show me how you got that answer? Thanks, but I'm still confused.
3. I finally understand this
I finally understand stats now :)
4. When is this class going to be over?
Keep looking at the clock to only see that five minutes have passed; only five minutes.
5. Dreading stats class
One of my friends always tells me to have fun in class; I'll try is all I say.
6. I'm so tired of redoing my homework all the time
Redoing homework is frustrating that I stress cry when I don't understand the problems.
8. Tutoring and Math Center here I come
Yeah I need you to help me understand this problem, thanks.
As you can tell, stats class is a battle and it isn't a battle sometimes; it just depends on the day.
