Quality of teacher helps a lot for stats. Advanced statistics is incredibly math intensive but for the most part the type of stats you do in intro/seminar classes can almost be done without math. The math lets you get the exact answer but with proper guidance through the logic of statistics the approximate answers can be worked out in your head. So a teacher that gets through the logic first and follows with the math will, I find, be much more successful.

An understanding of basic statistics is an incredibly useful skill since the misapplication of statistics is probably the primary source of manipulation and misdirection used. It doesn't take a Ph.D's understanding of the field to see through a lot of misuse.

I was wondering the same thing - that can't be mathspeak I'm not getting, can it?

I want to say math is evil, but I know it's just that my brain is deficient when it comes to processing things mathematical.

In any case, I feel your pain. Summer Stats - eep.

I'm so glad. Benadryl is the stuff. Benadryl + Sleep = relief for me when it happens too.

Good lord. Call the wrong person and suddenly you're dying from shingles.
I called my folks to tell them what happened and Joan Crawford freaks out.
My mom thinks the following:
-I should have gone to the emergency room.
-That I need to launder every piece of fabric in the apartment with a different kind of detergent and softener.
-I may have the shingles.
-I have hives because I wear shoes in the house...

Oy.

So that's why I've never had hives, cause I never wear shoes in the house!

The one time I had shingles, miserable and dying.

GC - Oatmeal = teh awesome!

BTD - Math will settle itself down. Just have faith. And think of Stats in terms of gambling. It really helped me.

Can we do my homework in Vegas? Call it research and write it off as an educational expense?

I thought Frank might be the culprit. He said he went hiking and I was wondering if he brushed his clothes through some poison oak or something and then while we were cuddling watching Hairspray that some of it rubbed off on me. But then it would have started much earlier, our cuddlefest was Sunday night...

The only thing I can contribute the hives to is stress. Me need um heap big job, ugh.

Have you followed up with my friend at Universal, ugh? He said many listings were on the intranet job postings.

Yay!!! So it looks like I'm going to be looking for a job post-cruise.

At least, my decision making process is headed that way. I have my reputation in this business to keep up and frankly I am not willing to be sucked down with this firm due to some seriously bad decisions about the cases we're taking and the way we're litigating cases. I've never actually been embarrassed to sign my name as the attorney of record on a lawsuit until this week. That's really the last straw. This job was awesome until things seriously started to slide last year, and it seems that my boss is telling me that we're going to take certain actions to correct that.. and then NO actions are actually taken.

Of course, I won't leave this job until I've found something else. I'll be a good little soldier till then. *sigh* I hate looking for a job more than anything.
