<\/p>\nToday I had a 2-hour final exam in my statistics class. It was a digital exam with 19 short answer, multiple choice, and fill-in-the-blank\u00a0 questions. It’s pass\/fail, and although I know that I got some questions (partly) wrong, I’m pretty sure I’ll pass.\u00a0 The first question was really hard, and I was worried that if all were that difficult I’d be in serious trouble, but luckily there were some easier questions too.\u00a0 Most of the topics were covered in the lectures, but one question included a term that I’d never heard before, so I just had to “row” as we say in Norwegian (or “BS” as we say in English!).<\/p>\n
