She is so dry and boring. If you need a general statistics class don't take it with her. She teaches pretty much straight from the book. I felt like I was teaching myself from the book the entire year. The clarity in the class was terrible. We spent the 1st 4 weeks with no knowledge of when our midterm was. Exams were worded poorly and hard.
