harumph.
started grad class today.
stats.
the entire 2.5 hours seemed slightly redundant. mostly because it was going over the same things the stats class I took in college went over.
which would be fine...except i still remember my stats class from college low these 8 years hence.
uh. i know it will get better and i will be thusly challenged and pulling my hair out later. and therefore should enjoy this small moment of intelectual prowess, but it's frustraiting and makes me just want to shout "WHY!!??!!??"
the professor has this unsteady air of "wtf am I doing up here" too which is slightly humorous.
I just wish he would try and engage us rather than talking like he's recording the class for later and there aren't 20 other people actively in the room.
at least i can tell he has a personality. and he's not bad at what he does. which are both good points in his favor.
but his intimidation by us really makes me miss Dr. Perry. watching her teach was a great experience. she was personable and kept us engaged while also covering a fair amount of information efficently and thuroughly. I think I compare him to her because he could be like her. if he were just a little more out going and reached out to us through the subject.
