So, having just stepped out of my stats class last year, and still having some of the stuff floating around in my head, I sit in my calss this year, and marvel at the fact that guy standing at the front of the class is the instructor. He's confusing as s**t, and if I didn't already remember the stuff we're talking about, I'd be so very lost. As it stands, I'm sure the rest of the class is getting to the HUH? point with him. His notes make no sense, and his accent makes it very hard to understand a word coming out of his mouth.
To make matters that much more fun, the text book they have us using this year reads like a computer manual. There are no examples of how to do the problems, very little description, and I think it's more aimed at the Lab portion of the class. So very glad I didn't take it last year, I would have been even more lost than I was.
On that note, Fin, I've been thinking about it. If afternoons work for you, what times are best? I have a break everyday of at least an hour and a half. Mon,wed,fri, it's 11-1, tues,thurs it's 11-12:30. I'm out of class everyday by 2 with the exception of wed when I have Stats lab till 3:30, then have to go to work. Otherwise, it looks like Thursday or friday evenings after 8:30 are the next times I have. What works for you, and where shall we do this? Do you want me to come to you, or you to come to me?
