Each of these are study hints and practice problems (most are 4 pages long!), and one of them will be identical to the final. Which is on the 18th!! I didn't realize it was coming up this fast... that means my final in NINE days! omg. *panic*panic*panic* While the teacher doesn't usually have tests with a great number of problems, statistically speaking if there are only 10 problems and you miss one (or two or three or four!), your percentage falls! And our final is 20% of our grade. *sigh*shudder*sigh*
On top of that, the last assignment is to learn how to do a linear regression problem on our TI-83 Calculator (that has enough buttons and functions to operate a small aircraft, I'm certain!) With one page of notes on how to attempt to make this function work, I sat struggling with the commands as written on out. Now, I'm a literal type person, if it says push "A" , that's what I'm doing. Needless to say, I was a bit frustrated and trying to find simpler instructions via Google. I must have been sighing out loud, more likely muttering to myself loud enough for the guy next to me to ask what I was working on, and attempted to help me. We found we have a few things in common... he had just taken this class in the fall, and is now in English 102 (one of my next classes!) It was nice to be able to share a little school chit chat {grin} Oh, yeah, I finally figured out the right steps, and my calc screen had the right data on it, but I still haven't figured out how the numbers relate to the questions being answered. Hopefully, Saturday's class will. :)
HUGS to everyone!!
