Create a visual representation is always ideal. I enjoy putting my creative thoughts onto paper and having others enjoy them. Also, it is a fun way to draw ages and to educate them on a serious health subject. I can use this in a future field when it comes to explaining something in simple medical terms. The most challenging has to do with statistics in general it can be somewhat overwhelming. However, it is extremely informative when it comes to health care in general. The greatest way to be better at statistics is to apply pressure.

Hello Professor and Class,
This was a great class. I learned so much of what I thought I knew I really didn’t know at all. I felt so much anxiety from week to week not knowing what to expect. Week 8 was the easiest to me. Descriptive statistics was easy to grasp. It still gave me an understanding of how to see things from the perspective of time, (Occurrence), Place, (geographically), and person, (People affected), in which conditions or diseases have surfaced. I really enjoyed creating a visual presentation. It was a lot of fun. The most challenging unit for me was Unit 6. I felt I had a good understanding of how to calculate range, variance and standard deviation; however when it was time to construct a boxplot I was a bit lost. I must say this was a very challenging class but a great professor helped me get through it. I believe at some point this class will be beneficial to me in my career especially when I complete the MPH degree. Good luck everyone.
