2. Application of statistics in the health field |

Like if you smoke the relative risk you have of getting cancer that kind of stuff.

so I don't really know if I failed.... but there were alot of blank spaces..... I'm just hoping that all the other stuff in the class and perhaps my next test grade will help me even out by the end of the semester.
Don't think he grades on a curve and if he does I would be at the tail end of it because everyone in the class are right brained people while I am the lonely lefty in the calss.

5. As one lefty to another |

Have you tried doing Excel charts as a way of studying? I mean you could really visualize it if you took the statistics and made spreadsheets using the chart function of them and flash glanced to study them before the test.
Just a thought. I know how you think.

7. Hmm, I think analytical people are left-brained and creative |
|
are right-brained.
So, I would expect a left-brained person to do extremely well on a statistics type class if it's taught in the typical way. I'm extremely left-brained analytical and always did well on statistics.
Where I have trouble is on more creative type thinking.

I always hated that feeling. I once failed a Genetics midterm, and I was miserable for a week. After a lot of useless moping around, I got to know the professor and the teaching assistants, and I started to study my ass off, and my final grade in the class was a B+ (I did very well on the final!)
Of course there were some classes I got C's in no matter how hard it seemed I studied.
