Out of interest, is anyone here involved in research, and if so, do you consider it de rigueur to run power analyses to calculate your sample sizes?

So, I'm guessing that's a 'no' then.

I hate stats

Yep...most people seem to....can't think why though..

i used to love stats at A-level. but now its just boring. maybe the lecturer is boring. so many tests to learn. we get huge blocks of lecture notes. and i often miss the lectures cos i am too lazy to wake up at 11 am

heh, 11am. Gotta be up at 8 to get to my probability lecture.

 

Naturally, I dropped the module

 

(I hated it at A-level, that's not changed in the slightest)

i often dont go to bed at all so that i wont get up late and miss the exams. i did that two days in a row. ... and i needed to revise badly as well. i once went to lecture about 2 mins before it finished. just because i had to hand in a probability assignment. that module is over now. have statistics and mathematical structurs now. along with the core modules.
