Cez went on a statistics course recently, and now she thinks she's a mathmo...


Lecturer: "So the key point is deciding which statistical test to do. Take this list here for example. Chi-squared? Uncertainty coefficient? I'm not sure."

The class is silent.

Lecturer: "That was the one joke for today. Don't expect any more."

On academia (Running with mathmos, Part I)

Cez went on a statistics course recently, and now she thinks she's a mathmo...

Lecturer [looking at the course schedule that he had written]: "Hmm, start at 9, finish at 4.30? Seems a bit light..."

Cez: "Isn't that what academia's all about?"

Lecturer: [gives her a LOOK]

Cez: "Er... I mean, isn't that what a study day's all about?"

Lecturer: "... That's more like it."
