Meet the Crew: the MLRC’s 2015 Summer Interns
Statistics isn't the subject I major in, but it's still important for my overall academic performance. Everyone says I must ignore it and focus on more valuable subjects, but I can't. I want to be a straight-A student, so this approach isn't working for me. Recently I was assigned a complicated statistics project. It became a huge problem for me as a student who understands nothing about mathematics, huge volumes of data, and its processing. Although, I like checking the statistics reports. Nothing more. I decided to start searching for online help because I was burdened by a mountain of other assignments and activities. I like being busy with something, but my mental health won't thank me for such a workload. Finding a statistics project help turned out to be a kind of challenge. I can't even say what is more challenging: completing a statistics project or finding a person to help you with working on this project. Well, the first task is much more difficult. I needed to research and define what aspects could impact my company choice. It brought no result at all, but then I found a service I have been looking for. It's called BestCustomWriting.com. I haven't heard about this service before, and I regret it. I don't even want to count how many low-quality tasks I submitted over several previous years. BestCustomWriting proves it's not obligatory to pay a fortune to trust your project to someone. The company offers affordable, fast, and good academic writing services. The number of experts is enough to tackle more than 50 disciplines, including humanities, exact sciences, natural sciences, and many more. Even if you think that the discipline you're studying is too highly-specialized and there's no expert in a relevant field, you're deeply mistaken and should try to place an order on bestcustomwriting.com.
Seeing lots of new faces on the lakes and out in the watershed? You may have seen some of our interns from Colby College who are working on the Water Quality Initiative this summer. These students are hard at work driving boats, writing code, collecting samples, conducting analysis in the lab, and getting to know the local community. Beginning this July, these students will present weekly updates on the state of water quality conditions in the Belgrade Lakes. These presentations will be held in the MLRC during the Belgrade Lakes Market.
If you see any of the students and have questions about the project, don’t be afraid to introduce yourself!
