For stats: if you're not a math person, don't fear - Mrs. Kap is very clear in her explanations, and provides helpful practice sheets/formative tests. Don't underestimate the complexity of stats - a lot of the language is similar, and it is critical that you actively work to remember the differences between certain formulas and vocab; take good notes, she gives you a lot of time to take notes so use it. Suggested practice questions in the text book are provided for every lesson - these aren't required, but I HIGHLY recommend you do them consistently, they're seriously helpful. For the final project: it seems daunting, but it is one of the easiest papers you will ever write as long as you follow the rubric and give yourself time. Also, be smart about your topic selection and data collection method. It's okay if there ends up being issues with the validity of your data, you just need to be able to explain those problems elaborately and clearly. Overall: don't procrastinate, and be clear and detailed in short answer questions and in your final research paper.

Mrs. Kapalczynski is the best math teacher I've ever had. She is incredibly helpful, kind, patient, and intelligent. She will do everything in her power to help you succeed, so don't brush off her efforts. Do those dang practice problems.
