I found out today. B- and I get to stay in the program since my GPA did not drop under 3.00. I studied like crazy. I would go to work, go to school twice a week and study the rest of the time. My mom is with me for the summer and she took care of everything; cooking, cleaning, etc. so I could concentrate.
I am so happy!!! I still can't believe it.
To celebrate, I'm going to visit Cape Cod and buy an oil reproduction of a Van Gogh paint.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Yay, Ava! Good for you, girl! I know you were worried about that class. Now, it's behind you and you got a good mark!

SOOO happy for you Ava! You (and your mom) definitely need to celebrate this! I hope you're taking her to Cape Cod with you!
And, I'm sure you already know this, but your mom ROCKS!

I saw the thread title before I saw who posted it and thought, "That sure as hell better be Ava!" So happy for you! That has to be such a relief. Have a great time at the Cape (and buy your mama something nice too!)

Thanks, everyone! Yes, my mom is coming to Cape Cod, free of charge I couldn't have done it without her. You guys are also a great support network.

Congratulations, Ava!! And, the absolutely best part of it all is that you will NEVER have to face Statistics again.

Of course you did! You're smart. We all never doubted you for a minute! Congrats though!! . We've seen you pull through every time. This is just a little nugget to store away and look at when you get hit by self doubt again. But for now

Joss, that is so true! (And we told DD the exact same thing when she got her degree!)
Ava, like I told DD, see, once again, you're The Little Engine that Could! Do you know that story? It's a US children's book (maybe too old / not very popular anymore).

Congratulations, Ava! I've heard a lot of students say that statistics is one of the hardest classes. Way to go!

I'm so glad you updated us . I had been thinking about posting and asking, but I didn't want to be rude if you were having problems. Congratulations! I am taking statistics in the spring, and can't wait to get it over with.

Ava, that is wonderful. (I'm not surprised though. You are smart and hard working and that is an unbeatable combination).
Enjoy Cape Cod!

Statistics is hard for some and easy for others. DS is very cerebral and said it was one of the hardest classes he ever took. DD and I breezed through ours with no problems. I think he is smarter than we are. Maybe too smart hurts?

You technically didn't pass statistics. Your score simply exceeded the reference passing score by a margin large enough to reject the null hypothesis (i.e. failure) with a significance level of alpha = 0.01.

Your score simply exceeded the reference passing score by a margin large enough to reject the null hypothesis (i.e. failure) with a significance level of alpha = 0.01. Very funny! I am enjoying my summer before gearing up to another semester. I have 4 classes in the Fall semester. One of them is, in a way, the second part of Statistics. It's with the same professor, and we use the concepts learned in Statistics and apply to cases. I am a little worried about this class, but now I'm confident that with a lot of effort I can do it. After this semester, I have one more class left, and the final project. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!
