The overarching principle of statistics is simple. The same formula (observation less expected over a standard error) is repeated throughout the course with only minor variations, except for non-parametric tests. But to do statistics requires some heavy intellectual lifting. Figuring out which test to use will be the core of the final exam—which I am grateful lasts no more than an hour.
I have been vascillating between confidence in my knowing the material and abject terror that I will totally bomb. I am in the same boat as a classmate described to me: It is virtually impossible that I will get either a C or an A in the course. But I am delighted that for better or for worse, it will be behind me soon.

I've taken a random sampling, analyzed the data, and come to the conclusion that you deserve a bottle of beer tonight. Hurrah!!!
