stats class

last night in stats class we learned how to use excel to crunch numbers....the interesting part...the professor, doesn't know how to use the program...it was funny to watch her trying to show us how to use the program and she didn't know what she was doing.

we had to learn this information in order to start our first homework assignment...it's a four section, 4 part to each section assignment- so not short. in class i shared a computer with a woman who is a middle school administrator....she talks to fred flintstone alot- and spent 2 hours doing the first part of our homework by hand....that's right, she counted over 300 answers on three different columns of information to get her answers....so, while sitting in class doing the excel work, she says, "i can't beleive the computer can do that in 3 seconds...it took me 2 hours." she promised me to never again to stats by hand.
