What a day So I spent 18 hours in the school library working on stats. Then I went home for about a half hour. Then I went back to school for 3 hours of exams. Then I came home and found out my bookshelf arrived. I was very pleased about that. So I put that together. and now I'm here.
I either aced the fuck out of my stats final or I failed it. I have very strong feelings about this class. It's really the only class that I've done / had to do anything for all semester. But I've spent many an hour on this class. It's the bastard child of programming and statistics. It's very..... not fun. And now it's over and I think I did well on the exam. It was only 5 questions but each question was 20 points. He would give us some data and tell us some variable names. And then he asked us what parametric procedure we would use to analyze the data and then we had to state the hypothesis test for each procedure. And then the conditions and assumptions for each procedure. And then we had to tell him what "procs" (if this wasn't confusing before, this is where it gets to the bastard child of programming and stats part) a proc is basically what commands we would code into the program to manipulate the data set to give us the output we wanted so we could analyze the data. Then after procs we had to talk about if we needed a post hoc analysis and what non parametric procedure we would use to analyze the data if the conditions for the parametric procedure couldn't be met. Then the same for that. Hypothesis tests, assumptions and conditions, procs, and further analysis. And then we were asked to list the advantages of each of the parametric and non-parametric procedure we chose and why we chose the right procedure. and then finally we were asked to draw conclusions from what we were given. There were 5 of those.
And then my cognition final. It was meh. I should really sleep now. Whenever I wake up I have to write two 3 page critical responses for books I haven't read and study for my research methods and design final starting at 12 tmrw. And then by 2 everything will be finished and I will have work and then sleep and then whatever comes next. I have plans. But right now, I'm thinking sleep. Another topic for another journal I guess.
