I can remember the year that I took Statistics in college. I was married, with two very young children. I worked full time and had a hubby that didn’t help very much with anything. I was studying to get my bachelor’s degree in business administration and I needed to take a Statistics course. I decided to try to take the course during the summer session. It seems that I ate, drank, and slept statistics! Back then we had a personal computer, but I don’t think that the Internet had even been invented!
I think I was born way too early! Students have so many advantages that I didn’t get! I would have been thrilled to be able to go online and get the Statistics Homework Answer to a problem that I was struggling with, or to get a copy of someone else’s Statistics Lecture Notes for a class that I missed. It would have made life a lot less stressful back in that work-filled summer! I didn’t even have time to go outside and weed my flower garden once that summer! The biggest lesson that I took away with me from that course was to never take on a summer session again!
