Professor Boito is an excellent choice for anyone who struggle with math. She is clear with formulas and is always willing to go over things if you have questions. While attendance isn't mandatory, it's in you bets interest not to skip class, as well as do the practice problems in the book

She is one of the best teachers at Altoona and I would say the best when it comes to stat. As long as you attend class you will be fine. Never has she called out a student unless they were being rude. As long as you go to class and practice outside of class you will get a great grade. Her lectures are critical and easy.

Professor Boito is overall an easy and good professor. However, for a 200 level statistics class, I expected to learn more. If you are going to need statistics in your field one day, I would not recommend taking her because once you're in grad school you will know much less than everyone else because she doesn't go in-depth on topics.

Shes a stricter teacher, if you dont do well it seems like she judges you instead of helping you. If you come late to class she will hold it against you. Also she will NOT round a grade even if it is .01% away from being a letter grade higher. Other than that shes good teacher. Dont skip class.. easy at first. Then gets harder.
