2. Nifty. Best I ever did was a B- or C+ (don't remember which, been a while)
Edited on Thu Jul-17-08 06:28 PM by DarkTirade
in Anthropology when I didn't have the book...

Although to be fair, I missed the first week of classes due to the school screwing things up and I spent the rest of the semester playing catch-up and I STILL hadn't gotten my financial aid from the PREVIOUS SEMESTER (hence why I couldn't afford the book). And between the stress and whatnot, I ended up getting sick a lot that semester and missing a lot of class. So I was rather impressed that I managed to pull that off. :P

3. Congrats! I'm impressed! Stats is why I was a history major, rather than sociology.
One stats course I could do. Two...no thanks.

So, yours is a great feat. Well done!

4. Wow!
I had to take 4 levels of Stats as a Psychology major 20+ years ago. It sure wasn't easy.

Congratulations!

5. That would roughly be you, I'm guessing...
Congratulations! :woohoo:

Of course, now that we've come to expect insane grades from you, you're in trouble. :P

8. Good work. Personally, I find stats books to be confusing.
I did fine just listening to the lectures in college.

11. I hate you! I almost flunked out of grad school because of stats!
It was a required course and I got lost on the first day. I barely passed that course.
