Taking a Step Outside My Comfort Zone

I have avoided taking any statistics class because the thought of so many numbers always intimidated me.  Taking this course made me dip a toe into the waters of statistics and in a way I am glad I had to take this class.  I got a feel for what it would be like to take statistics class in the future through this interesting course on immigrants in New York City.  The coursework was challenging though rewarding, and I really enjoyed the interview project (besides the long, long hours of transcribing the interview!).
