I did it y'all! I really did it! This topic is treacherous. While I do believe understanding statistics and being able to navigate myself through research and studies appropriately is important, I don't foresee myself using much of what I learned in this class. The book was very dry but I think it's because of the material itself. There were very interesting case studies within the book but I was annoyed that many of the case studies ended by asking the reader questions To someone like me, who doesn't understand statistics, I don't want to be left with more questions than answers. Help a sister out!
