Results are in!!!! Go for launch onto the next subject.

Although it was in doubt about 1.5 hours into the exam, I am happy to say that I will not need to redo the unit! No psy222 deja vous for me.

Although I cannot say I fully unravelled the mysteries of Monsieur Bonferonni and Monsieur Scheffe and their analysis of tricky data I did well enough not to need to revisit their infernal tables! Yay me and onto more interesting stuff.

Is that Melbourne Uni or Monash Uni?

We can catch up on some fish talk some day over a cup of coffee at uni if you are at MelbU.

Blegh statistics

Quite possibly the most mind numbing part of my 1st year maths course, and that was just the most basic of the statistics units (after school that is)

JQW I'm not in melb sweets. I'm up in Sydney at Macquarie Uni. What are you doing at Melbourne uni? Something science based I am guessing if you are doing statistics. Biology?

Who has been watching that series on tv at the moment with Gunther doing the autopsies. They could make so much more of that series if they just gave about 5 times more info and more interesting stuff. I get bored in it.


Bonny - what are you studying? Math is just in 1st year or all the way through. I had a friend that did a law degree and combined it with pure mathmatics because she loved numbers so mcuh. Needless to say we had other interests in common not the number thing.

I am SO seriously NOT a number person. It is necessary for my psych degree and I really struggle. The lecturer is a stat-bot called Eugene (!), I doubt he is human. He delights in making people feel stoopid... I sat in his lectures completely mute with a deer in headlights expression on my face. Not pretty. Thank God it is over, power of prayer is probably what carried me through.

I've just finished my second year of college, going on to my first year of uni.

Bit hard to explain as our education system seems to confuse the aussies and the americans just as your education system confuses me.

But in college i studies maths (did further maths in the first year but dropped that), chemistry (what a mistake!), performing arts (second year only) and music technology.

My Organic Chemistry lecturer's name is Schiesser, close enough to Scheisser.

My course is Bachelor of Biomedical Science
In 2nd year we start majors, and I'm hoping to major in Medical Microbiology and Immunology

Fun......6 hr microbiology pracs

Statistics is terrible. At least my statistics subject has no compulsory components. I don't even need to go to my tutorials.

hey hey congrats wish-ga!

i actually dont mind stats, sometimes its nicer just to do a computation based of a formula rather then have to consult psyc reports upon psyc reports and do a gazillion word essay!
