Professor Springer made statistics really easy. She gave clear explanations on how to do the problems and didn't mind explaining again if needed. She gives extra credit sometimes, so make sure to attend class every day. I didn't use a textbook. Personally, her lectures were enough for me. I definitely recommend taking her for the lab as well.

Using the slides she provides for each chapter really breaks down the content clearly, being bad at math I was nervous, yet she makes the material easy to understand. Very nice and provides what you need to succeed.

Easiest class I have taken. I took her 3 week course in the Winter and it was a bit of work but if you spaced out your work throughout the week you'll be just fine. I bought the textbook she told us to get but I didn't really read it since her lectures are very clear on the chapter. You may need the book from time to time for tests. Great prof

Dr Springer is so great. Shes really nice and her lectures are clear so I didnt really use the book. The class is fairly easy especially if you like stats. The midterm is easy but the final is kind of hard, just study and youll do good. I really recommend her! I liked her so much I took her for 271 (and you should to)

This class is SO EASY! Her lectures are clear (and short ab 12 min)and she goes through the lab exercise step by step so theres no way youll mess up your hw (which is basically the lab exercise w a diff data set). The software is easy to use and theres diff ways to access it. Just contact her if u need help! PLEASE take her, she makes it so easy

Lecturers are 10-15 min long. You have the option to show up in zoom meetings. It's mostly if you need help with the lab exercises . Discussion every week & HW. however, very easy if you just do the work. She gives you plenty of time. Midterm is time consuming(heads up).Final is kind of hard but if you Do the work. You'll do great.

Dr. Springer's class was very lecture-heavy, but she really goes through the material and works out problems with you, answering any questions along the way. She has a sense of humor and respects everyone who takes her class. If you don't do well on the midterm or final, you'll still be able to pass by keeping up with the work! Would take her again

Prof. Springer is an AMAZING teacher. She makes statistics so easy to follow. She explains everything simply in her recorded lectures, which you can watch any day of the week. Just take notes. She tells you exactly how to do everything in lecture. She's great if you want to understand the material. Some students took her for granted. She is a gem.

I thought the class would be hard, but it was not if you are interested to learn. The help of the pre-recorded videos, attending the optional lectures, and the textbook will help you pass the class. Also, there's a midterm project, but if you listen and do every work, then you'll be good. Everything's just included in canvas and is an easy A!!

Great Professor. Her lectures were pre recorded. Do all the DB, HW and labs and you will do good in class. Read her rubric for her each assignments to know what she expects and get full credit in HW. Midterm could be hard if you don't download all the programs (GSS).Exam has a time limit but its ok if you did all the work. She does answer emails.

Professor Springer's both class and lab can be hard at first, but I encourage everyone to actually reach out to her because she actually does help. I received a low grade bc I messed up and didn't watch her lectures & take notes at the beginning of the semester. It can also be bc the course started in September, which is a fast-pace course.

Taking PSYC 270/271 online classes with her this fall was the best desicion I've made, since I did not know anything about statistics; I was always bad at mathematics, but she has an unique way to teach where you can learn and understand everything in an easy way.

She's awesome. Dedicate time to the class, pay attention, and do the work and you'll get what you worked for. She's not a tough grader, she's not mean, SPSS is not hard. I've seen many students in my class complain about the smallest stuff while they don't do the bare minimum. It's an easy A IF you do the work!

We never used the book she said to buy. She assigned one discussion post, reply to another post, homework with like 10-20 questions & a quiz of 5-10 questions; it varies. She gives extra credit a little bit halfway through the semester and towards the end before the final. She wont say anything about attendance unless you got a good grade.

She is a good professor & is very thorough w/ her lectures but her grading criteria is very tough, 1-attempt on quiz/exams & they often have things worded weirdly and multiple correct options. This class is a GE for many, so it shouldn't be as difficult as it is. No open textbook during tests, even online. Time limits are very short. HARD class.

I have never gotten a passing grade in a math class but for the first time, it was made possible by Ms.Springer. I love the way this class is structured because it allowed me to go through each chapter already having an idea of what I'm supposed to do. Even if you miss class she posts all her lectures and important material on Canvas.

She is very harsh grader and her lectures don't always make sense with the homework. She seems very nice as this is an online course but don't do it.
