Psych Assessment

My Psych Assessment class makes me nervous. Sure, I love that we get worksheets in lab and have to complete them by the next class period. It's like being in middle school again with math homework. But, and this is a huge but, I payed zero attention in statistics class. I goofed off and did what I had to do to get an A. That sounds terrible, but it's true. It was easy for me, so I didn't even do the homework. I just showed up for tests.

Now that I am in Psych Assessment, a harder version of stats class, I am regretting my choice of putting forth less than required effort to get an A. I somehow got lucky to get my A. Anyway, now I am relearning everything because I was a bad college student. So much for "never using stats again."

In lecture, the professor, who just happens to be my advisor, will ask questions and the class stares blankly. Then she'll look at me and I'll answer the question. Yes, I'm that kid who is the default if the rest of the class is clueless. Nice, Kaila. Nice.

Lab wasn't much different. We have worksheets to work on and she is there to answer any questions we may have. At first, I keep moving along through the worksheets, wondering if I was doing something wrong. The rest of the class was still on the first or second page when I got to the fifth page. I really thought I was taking shortcuts when I realized I am better than the average human at math. Just slightly above average, but that apparently makes the difference.

When I got to a point where I was unsure what to do, I realized others would probably struggle more than I did. I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I know my sense of struggling is different than that for most other people. Even though this class will probably be difficult for me, I may have the easiest time of everyone. So, in true stats fashion, if this class was graded on a bell curve, I'd have a good chance at an A. :)
