Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Very good at teaching stats, goes slow. Kind of felt like she hated me when I went to office hours but still helped me out and was very chill about it. Easy A if you pay attention and take notes.

Christine was an amazing professor who made a difficult concept much more easy to understand. The expectations in this class are very clear making it easy to succeed so long as you pay attention and do the weekly assignments.

Prof. Schwartz is one of the best lecturers I've had at UW. She is so clear in her explanations that I finished every lecture feeling like understood everything she said, which is rare otherwise. She manages to explain the toughest topics in a way that is really accessible. Highly recommend taking stats with her!

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Christine is a really great and caring professor who genuinely makes the curriculum understandable and fair. It helps to have a background of STATA beforehand but she'll help you if you need it. She's always willing to talk to students and is super friendly both in-class and in office hours.
