My third course in statistics, a great one taught by Professor Hamburg at Wharton, and the only good course in this field I ever took. Calculus based. The key to my success was a marvelous secretary in the statistics department who, with Hamburg's approval, gave me the answer book to the questions in the textbook. There were about 40 questions at the end of each chapter. All I had to do was read the chapter, work all the problems, check my answers against Hamburg's and understand my mistakes. One of the easiest A's I ever made, granted I worked much harder than anyone else, but this approach to such a complicated and difficult course in a highly competitve MBA program, how could I miss?
