I'm just an average person. I love to help people out :) it makes me feel better about myself. I've been in a lot of situations so I can most likely relate to a lot of your problems. I know what it feels like to not have anyone to talk to about your problems, which is why i'm an advicenator. I'm ready to help people and be there for everyone who needs advice or just a companion to speak out to. I'm always here if you need me, don't hesitate to drop a question or even just a vent/rant note about a problem to my advice column inbox. I respond to all of them regardless of the topic. I'm upfront and abrupt about my answers and never sugarcoat. Take my advice or not, but i'm just doing my job :)Played volleyball for over 10 years, also a coach. I love to try new things. Currently I'm trying the new sport of tennis and learning about my passion of photography.
advice
So, my spring semester as a freshman in college, I took intro to stats 1. I failed the class. I thought it was a combination of things, like it being my first year and the class was too hard, not prepared enough for the class, couldn't understand the teacher's accent. So, I let it go. Took it again and used a forgiveness policy we have. I got back the grade for the first test and it was like a 50 something. So I said, I BETTER drop it so I don't fail again. So, I decided to take it now over the summer so I would do better. It's the only class I'm taking. So, I felt SUPER confident about the test. I knew I had passed. I looked at my grade and I saw 75. Like, I know I passed. But, I thought I was going to get a 90, at least. I feel so stupid. I just want to pass this class with AT LEAST a B. I'm not expecting to get an A by any means. But, I need to take this class for my major and I'm just worried. Right now I have an 81% because we had a quiz earlier on and that's my grade in the class. I'd like to keep it that way. I'm just really worried. So, I have 2 questions:
1) can you give me any tips as to doing good in stats. I know, study. obviously. but, anything else? I am going to tutoring and all of that. Just anything you think might be useful. Not looking for anything in particular.
2) I have to take stats II as a pre-requisite for 2 other classes (that don't have to do with statistics, really. They have to do more with conducting experiments. So, you need the BASIC knowledge of stats, but you don't need to be a super stats genius. Do you think I should take stats II in the Fall, now that it is fresh in my mind? Or do you think I should take it in the Spring, and take a breather from it?
Thoughts and opinions are appreciated. Thank you xoxo
go to this website
http://www.khanacademy.org/
its a tutoring website and its absolutely wonderful. It has a lot of subjects on it. I've used it and the guy who created this is literally a genius. It really helps :)
I would take stats 2 right away since its fresh in your mind and you'll know more, as opposed to taking it later and forgetting nearly everything.
I also find it helps when you study for like 30 minutes and then take a 10 minute break, then study again, then break for 10 min. Make sure you get enough sleep, don't cram study at 3am at night.. Make notecards/flashcards, study at random periods like when you go to the bathroom or grocery shopping, it helps you remember stuff easier haha. Ask someone to quiz you and then when you make a mistake, look it over and retake the quiz.
good luck!!
