I would define my progress this week as “meh”. I got through the unit Sampling Distributions but only made it through a handful of videos in the following unit Confidence Intervals. I would say the effort/amount of time I put in this week is fairly indicative of the amount of work I got done. Funny how that works.… Read More Week 56 – Sept. 21st to Sept. 27th

For once I was actually happy with the progress I made this week. I finally managed to get through the Random Variable unit test (THANK GOD) after 4 previous failed attempts. I then got through about 2/3’s of the following unit Sampling Distributions, although I am still struggling to understand some of what I’ve learned so far. Nonetheless, I’m… Read More Week 55 – Sept. 14th to Sept. 20th

I’m once again disappointed with how this past week went. I failed the Random Variables unit test 3 times this week (a.k.a. didn’t manage to get 100%). My scores got progressively better after each attempt which was somewhat redeeming I suppose. Because there are 21 questions on this test, there’s a lot of pressure which makes me… Read More Week 54 – Sept. 6th to Sept. 13th

It’s been a frustrating week to say the least. I think I’ve mentioned before that I live in Toronto, but I may not have mentioned that I live right beside the biggest park in the city, High Park. I love the park but this time of year there is a plant called Golden Rod that… Read More Week 53 – Aug. 30th to Sept. 6th

Well, I did it. One full year of KA under my belt. I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting this week (which is saying something since I tend to reflect a lot as it is) and am quite happy with what I’ve been able to learn over the past year. I’m proud of what I’ve… Read More Week 52 (🥳) – Aug. 24th to Aug. 30th

I didn’t get as far through the unit Random Variables this week as I had hoped I would. However, although I only got through a third of it, I still covered quite a bit of material. I likely spent close to 10 hours working on KA which makes me think that, compared to the first… Read More Week 51 – Aug. 17th to Aug. 23rd

It was once again another week where I felt like I made a lot of progress and learned a lot but the amount of material I got through didn’t reflect it. In fact, I only got through one unit, Counting, Permutations, and Combinations which I was already ~30% of the way through when I started… Read More Week 50 – Aug. 10th to Aug. 16th

This week I finished off the unit Probability and got ~30% of the way through the following unit Counting, Permutations, and Combinations. I thought both units were interesting but found the former particularly interesting and somewhat practical for the real world. Calculating the probabilities of relatively basic events were somehow simple to work through, yet… Read More Week 49 – Aug. 3rd to Aug. 9th

My first girlfriend broke up with me when I was 18 years old which, funny enough, is the time I first started going to the gym. I initially found it quite difficult to motivate myself to workout. Fast forward 12 years and working out is as integral a part of my life as eating breakfast… Read More Week 48 – June 27th to Aug. 2nd

It was once again another disappointing week in terms of getting through units. The only unit I got through, Exploring Bivariate Numerical Data, ended up being fairly challenging, but it certainly didn’t help that I didn’t have access to the internet for 3/5 days. (I was away at a cottage and the internet ran out.)… Read More Week 47 – June 20th to July 26th
