It sounds like you are making some great progress on your stats. Keep it up!

Thank you for the encouraging words. I spent all day yesterday and met with the tutor on the math. I am meeting with him again today and unfortunately learned he is going on vacation for Christmas on the 18th and can only meet again on Tuesday after today.

The problem I am finding is with the online math program itself for the homework and quizzes. The prof has it set up that you have to get at least 70% in a section before proceeding to the next, even onto another chapter that is completely unrelated to this one. I am terrible in chapter 8 but I understand chapter 11, but I cannot get there, nowhere near it to at least get it done. I am so screwed as time is running out. Panic is setting in and taking steps to calm down each time I get stuck, but is so frustrating. I can understand having this grading system within a chapter for progress but not when the chapters are not related. I cannot wait for the course reviews at the end of the semester.

Meanwhile, goal today: taking actual laptop to work online with the tutor to try and make better headway in the sections, have him with me as I go through the homework. Perhaps it will make more sense this way, explain as go.

Good luck with stats, when is your exam?
