Sahifa is super sweet, but she is fresh out of school and cannot teach. If this is your first stats class, start teaching yourself the content today.Rate My Professors ↗

lectures very hard to track. she gives us one practice test for the whole semester (all of last years exam questions). first midterm is easy. exams dont correlate with course content. if you like to be forced to self teach, then def take this class. I think my ta was a better teacher than she was.Rate My Professors ↗

I felt that she did a very ok job at teaching the content and going over practice questions but then those questions were a lot easier than the actual test. If you have a question and you can't make it to office hours and you have a question she rarely response to emails. I have sent her 10 over the whole course and she has replied to only 3.Rate My Professors ↗

Clear HTML but obviously based on other professor's modifications. Her teaching ability can be reflected by mean score of all exams, which are always lowest. At the same time, the difficulty level of the exams is arbitrary. Compared with the past, the number of questions has definitely increased and the difficulty level has also risen.Rate My Professors ↗
