[nabs-l] just want to introduce myself to the list

[V Nork]

Hi, I also took college statistics as part of my bachelor's degree in 
psychology and journalism.  I am a bit of a math phobic person, but my view 
is that statistics is a form of applied mathematics that is rewarding, even 
kinda fun.  It enables you to read journal articles in any kind of science 
and really be able to understand and evaluate the research.  I can't 
encourage you enough to give it a try, perhaps with a tutor.  If you select 
your professor of statistics carefully, you may find someone with a teaching 
style that fits you.  Best, Ginnie
