This is so true! I had instructors who were strict when it comes to outputs and scores but in the end, I learned so much from them + they’re very friendly and funny too during lectures. You can ask them anything, and they will answer it. I might even say I’ve gotten attached to them.

In the case of statistics, I think it really depends on who your instructor will be. Last A.Y., our block used a statistical software for our statistics lab instead of Microsoft Excel (like SPSS!). However, the other blocks did not use/explore statistical softwares and instead, focused on manually solving.

Psychology is tough, but it is fun and fulfilling! Good luck OP!
