She was not very helpful as a professor. Her lectures were slow and monotone and felt as if she was reading a script. The information was not presented clearly at all in lecture. However, the book and homework is useful and very similar to the test. If you can teach yourself through these resources, you will pass.Rate My Professors ↗

This was my first statistics class , and I really enjoyed it. She moves at a very reasonable pace , and tests are just like practice tests posted online. Things can get a little confusing in class, so I would recommend skimming the material before lecture. Otherwise the material for the class was very interesting and not too hard.Rate My Professors ↗

This is actually the first time I took stats in my life. While I'm sure her intetions are good, it got rough. Her slides are posted online, but I can't seem to learn when she is going through in class, which is problematic because she will do pop quizzes. Exams are hard. Homework is manageable. Book is excellent, she just reads off of it.Rate My Professors ↗

very unclear, frustrating; poor communication skills. You're better off teaching yourself from the textbook, which is actually excellentRate My Professors ↗

Easiest class ever. Sometimes not the easiest to understand, but is ALWAYS willing to explain more in depth during lecture. Moves at a very reasonable pace, assigns homework and practice problems that are very similar to the exams so do them! Even gave extra credit on final exam!Rate My Professors ↗
