Confused Stress-Week 12

I get that we still have to do classes and stuff online just to finish the year. But why is it that I have to do a research project like the one I'm doing in Stem for Statistics? The one I'm doing in Stem is interesting. It's to see if having an automated watering pump will yield better growth than human watering. David and I built this automated pump and everything, which is actually pretty cool. But for Statistics, I have to do it on water quality. I used to do water testing and everything in high school for a club I was in, and I did not like that part.
