Just failed a Biostatistics test

[SCDem]

ask me anything (except about Biostatistics!)

[THUNDER HANDS]

1. what is biostatistics?

:)

[SCDem]

2. Application of statistics in the health field

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

3. how badly did you fail by?

And did they grade on a curve?

[SCDem]

4. Well I just took it

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.

9. Well then I am left brained....

see what the test did to me!!! I don't even know what i am good at anymore!

6. So does this mean a hangover for Wednesday morning?

seriouslly though, check your PM

[SCDem]

10. I wish!!

I work full time, going to school to get my PhD and I am 33 weeks pregnant and I have a neuropsychopharmacology test (which I know I will do well on thankfully!!) on Friday so no partying for me!!

8. Ooooh, I'm sorry.

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.

11. Thank you hunter

that gives me a ray of hope!!
