Wow...if you can't pass her class, I'd say you have no business being at UM.
Refuses to answer students questions.
Open note exams, but hard as hell to understand
This is the most ridiculous teacher that I have ever taken.. she didnt even show up for the last day to review for our final.. the whole class got horrible grades. the book is useless. things were on the test that she didnt mention nor were in the book.. DO NOT TAKE HER!!! YOU WILL REGRET IT FOREVER!!!
this class is open book open note tests, but dont let that fool you. if you dont have reallllly good clear notes you can still do bad on tests. i would not reccommend this professor, not very clear nor helpful
The material may seem overwhelming but in class notes are not what help. The book is really clear and the power point notes are helpful. Exam open book/open notes. This class is very easy to pass if you study from the book, prepare your book/notes before the exam. Quizzes are take home and HW is not collected. Attendance is not mandatory.
WORST teacher ever. Does not help students if they do not understand the material and is obnoxious...DO NOT TAKE
BEST teacher ever! very funny!
awful teacher, do not take her she will never answer your questions so there is no point in seeing her if you need help, DO NOT TAKE HER!!!! possibly the worst teacher at UM
She is not the easiest to understand, but she writes everything on the board. He tests are open note and open book so as look as you take good notes and are familiar with the book you will be fine. She also gives reviews packets which are almost exactly like the tests. She also gives extra credit if you score below an 80 on a test.
actually the worst professor i have EVER had. do not take her unless you want to be unbearably frustrated and annoyed the whole semester.
Want a question answered? Good luck Want an email answered? Good luck She forgot to teach us a topic until my group asked about it Open note tests though, if you can figure out what she is saying and keep up
Her lectures can be a little irritating at times, however, if you go to class and take notes you'll be fine. The notes will help you with the tests. She's can be difficult sometimes but she really is a nice lady who wants to help her students. I would recommend her. The people complaining on here are the ones who were on social media during class.
I don't understand how anyone cant get anything lower than a B+ in her class. You really have to try to get anything less than that. She is a good professor and willing to help students who seek it. Not that bad if you actually go to class and pay attention.
Worst teacher in UM, and Im saying this even though I got an A in the class. She literally decides not to answer any questions, and never actually explains the concept of what she's teaching, only teaches were to plug in what numbers without knowing what they mean. Grades test on what she thinks ant not on the actual answers. Take to waste money.
I honestly have no idea why she does not have a 5 point rating. She is the best math teacher I've had at UM. Explains very clear everything and the exams are just like the in class exercises. She lets you use a cheat sheet in which you can literally write whatever you want. Midterms are simple and the final is semi-hard but not impossible.
She's hard to understand and makes things confusing. Overall, what you're going to study is easy. She goes crazy sometimes but it is funny.
I can't stand this woman. If you're looking to pass, then you'll be fine, but this class is AWFUL. I can't understand her and I'm constantly looking at the clock for the class to be over. No homework, but it doesn't matter because she wouldn't even go over it anyways. You get cheat sheets for tests, which is good because without them I would fail.
worst accent ever, impossible to understand and worst explainer... only good thing is she will let you have a cheat sheet, but exams a pretty tough
Joseph is not ideal, but gets the job done. I had never taken Stats before this class and ended with an A. You will get used to her accent. She doesn't answer emails and gets mad when people ask questions she deems simple or obvious. Pay attention, write down everything, make a good cheat sheet, do some practice questions and you should be fine.
Prof. Joseph is a confusing teacher. Statistics is not a hard subject but she explains it as a very complicated subject. She thinks that she explains it very simply so she does not like questions. I got an A in the class but I had to study a lot to do that.
TAKE HER!! 3 exams and class participation, get to bring in a note sheet for each test, exams are word for word class problems with different numbers. and get on her good side and you'll get an A no doubt. do not buy textbook, she copys relevant pages and hands it out in class. 10/10 would take again
Her lectures are extremely boring but the tests and quizzes are beyond easy. If you want an A and don't care about actually learning stats, take this class
This class is sooo easy if you show up to class and study for the tests. She truly wants to give everyone As so just study on the tests and you will get an A. No homework and she lets you make a cheat sheet for the test. And if you have an A after 3 tests you get exempted from the final. She gives you every opportunity to get an A if you just try
Good Teacher. Show up to class and take notes and you're guaranteed a good grade.
She is probably the worst teacher at this entire school. She is hard to understand and refuses to answer questions. She just yells at the students and says "it's straight forward" and "how don't you know this". She is impossible to get in touch with and will never respond to your emails. She is extremely rude and I would never recommend taking her.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. DO. NOT. DO. IT. She is not clear at all during lectures and does not convey material in a simple manner. She is extremely rude and harsh to students. If you ask a question, she embarases you in front of the class. She is not there for students. She gets mad when you go to office hours. She penalizes you for seeking help
Very easy class. She gives so many points back for extra credit that if you put in any effort you'll get an A. You get a full page of paper front and back for every test as a cheat sheet. Go to class!
Amazing professor! Would recommend her 10/10. Go to. class and take notes you will get an A. There are three midterms and if you get A for all three then you don't need to go to final.
such an easy class if you show up. pretty much hands out As. sweet lady
Impossible to not get 100% in the quiz section. She is very nice but can be difficult in explaining some things. Overall easy class, and final is optional if you do good on all of the other exams. Take her!
Very poorly organized, little understanding, extremely hard to understand lectures. overall a very poorly tought class! DO NOT RECOMMEND at all!!!!
She is super rude to her student. do not try to ask questions in class! She is a tough grader even she curve the class. You can get a better grade with other Mas professor. She is unclear about everything. Trust me DO NOT TAKE HER and you will have a great life!
If you have prior stats knowledge you will 100% get an A. Every test you get to have a 2 sided cheat sheet. As long as you put the necessary info on that you should have no problem finishing with an A. Her teaching style isn't the best but it's very hard to not do well.
I wish I hasd something good to say about this professor, but honestly, I don't. she was the worst professor I've ever had, you need a 93 to skip the final and I watched her make a girl who had a 92.6 have to take the exam. She is the MOST UNHELPFUL Professor. I cannot express how I feel like i wasted thousands of dollars on this course at UM...
My biggest complaint with Professor Joseph is that she is the type of person to get angry and frustrated when you ask a question in class, rather than actually helping her students to understand the material. Material was taught in an extremely boring manner, and she was unbelievably unhelpful at office hours.
STAY AWAY! I have never taken such a terrible professor. She would get mad when someone asked her how to do a problem. First day of class I asked her a question and she responded "I am not a personal tutor, I am teacher for everyone". She would write down her lecture notes on the board super quickly only to erase it 5 seconds later. DO NOT TAKE HER
Avoid taking Anito Joseph's class especially if you have never taken statistics before. She is incredibly unhelpful, does not like to repeat things, and does not care if her students are understanding the material. Her class consists of her reading off of her notes verbatim and she does not engage with her students at all.
This class was probably one of the most difficult classes I've taken so far. Her lectures are extremely boring. There is no HW, projects, or any form of extra credit. If you don't do well on the exams or quizzes you're going to fail. Also when asking questions she is dismissive and I asked a question and she told me I should've paid more attention.
Professor Joseph is unresponsive to emails, makes commitments to classes that she refuses to uphold, and is not willing to work with students outside of office hours. I would stay as far away as possible.
She seems like a nice person but lectures were not engaging at all. I learned everything I needed to know from studying the slides and lecture notes. Tests are easy as long as you do the guided examples she provides.
Worst Professor Ive ever had. Hard to understand her and she does not like questions. Never responds to emails and if she does she wont be helpful, she will tell you to check the syllabus. Hard tests and a lot of quizzes. Dont take her class
Stay away! She does not explain anything. She does not respond to questions in class and emails. When you ask her a question she will make you feel stupid. Her tests are different than practice quizzes. You never know with her, you need to predict everything. Do not take her or you will have the most frustrating semester
Anito Joseph has a thick accent, which makes her very hard to understand, is the CEO of repeatedly saying "Alright?" between her reading powerpoints word for word. The class was made up of only quizzes and tests, and if you ask any question at all she will make you feel stupid. If you're stuck with her, be ready to teach yourself the material.
DO NOT TAKE
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Worst teacher I've had in my life. Literally has no logic. Grades disgustingly. Doesn't give students chance to talk about previous exams. Her exams and their format is nasty just like her.
I dropped the class halfway through the semester because this professor is impossible to understand. Best decision of my life. I think I understood statistics better before taking her class. I'm utterly shocked that UM hasn't fired her. I wouldn't let her sweep the classroom floor, much less teach a class.
Class was a nightmare. If you have no prior knowledge of stats definitely skip this professor. Her lectures consist of her reading off notes and then yelling at students for not understanding. The only positive about this professor is that her curve is insane. Only reason I passed.
She is great. She is sometimes a little snippy when responding to questions in the classroom but it is funny. If you stay on top of the work and pay attention in class you will be fine. It helps if you have knowledge about stats but if not she is still a great professor and you can learn from her lectures!
Personally, I don't find her good at teaching. She is hard to understand and is rude when you ask questions. Lectures consist of her reading off a PDF. Positives: you can drop your lowest exam and there is no homework. I find it hard to learn because she moves rather quickly and does not physically do examples. Her exams are also pretty hard.
This class is very easy. Each test you are permitted a double-sided formula sheet to write whatever you want. If you execute the practice problems and write a solid formula sheet the test will be as easy as plugging numbers into your calculator. Please take her. Very nice and caring lady who wants best for her students.
Do not take this class. Thank me later.
She is dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. If you want to keep your mental health intact, stay away from her. Avoid her like the PLAGUE. Not only boring, but extremely rude, strict, and should be fired. I have no idea why she hasn't been fired yet. Worst experience ever and I'm only in the forth week of this course.
Professor Joseph does not comply with ODS accommodations and she give two days notice for exams. She is a terrible teacher who just reads over slides. Also anytime you ask her a question she answers as if it was the dumbest question she has ever heard. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.
Horrible!
Avoid her at all costs. That is the only advice I can give you. Professor just reads notes, and yells at you when you ask a question.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! THE WORST EVER
Do not take her. She yells at you if you ask a question but its kind of funny. To be fully honest, if you teach yourself from the materials she posts on blackboard, you will be fine. The exams are pretty easy and you get to use your own formula sheet. Shes not horrible, just pretty bad.
She is easily the worst teacher I have ever had. She does not care if you do all the right work and then put the wrong answer you'll get no credit. She yells if you ask a question. Just reads off the projector the notes she made without giving any work sometimes, just questions and answers. DO ANYTHING YOU CAN TO NOT TAKE HER. Didn't learn anything
NEVER take this teacher. Tough grader, doesn't let you see what you got wrong and why, and so confusing. I don't know how she is still working at this school.
Just don't take her class. If you took AP Stats in high school and don't need to learn anything you will be fine. If you want to learn anything you won't. No extra help. Hard to communicate with her. Doesn't answer emails. Gives opportunity to boost grade with final but you'll have to teach yourself everything or re-watch confusing lectures.
Do not take this class unless you are a statistic genius. This lady will call you out if she sees you writing notes. Also she is quite literally incompetent and does not know how to run a classroom.
AVOID
quite possibly the worst professor at UM
so boring legit will give you a quiz on a chapter and then talk for the entire class about a completely different subject. Very difficult to understand and provide 0 helpful feedback. If you take this class you better either know some of the material from AP Stats or you gotta be ready to do it all yourself.
The worst professor I have ever had in my life. Not even nice. If I begin to ask a question she never lets me finish and gives me an answer that is just not what I was trying to ask. Very unproductive and inefficient. She doesn't stop talking and is hard to understand. I go to tutoring two times a week just to survive.
Do not take her at all! I had no choice but to take her class and hated every moment of it. She is known in the counseling department for how bad she is, did not even have to say her name before they knew who I was talking about. She has a thick accent which is hard to understand. Tests are very hard, I had a D which was scaled to a B-
During an exchange she raised her voice which I found extremely off-putting and unprofessional. Students who miss an exam because of covid should be allowed to make up the missing exam. They especially should not be spoken to like a child when trying to talk about the issue. Lectures are insanely boring and unhelpful. Extremely horrible experience.
Up to the first test, the class is completely brain dead easy stuff you learned when you were 10. On a random day it will just become difficult. Her lectures are really long and she's not really nice either. Rarely we get any practice problems besides pop quizzes that eventually just stop. Tests are worth a ton and are oddly difficult. Diff teacher
Prof Joseph is a decent professor. The people reviewing her here clearly did not pay attention, because you get a cheat sheet for all tests, she posts examples that are exactly like the test questions, and the final isn't mandatory after a certain test average which is literally just a B. This class was easy and Prof Joseph is a clear lecturer.
I had a great experience with Professor Joesph. I honestly don't know why her ratings are so bad here. For every exam, you get a one page cheat sheet. There are three exams during the semester which count for 90% of your grade. There are quizzes around one a week that are worth 10% of your grade. Attendance is not mandatory but could help you.
Expect her to be rude to you but if you can handle it, I would recommend. She's very unapproachable and make you feel stupid for asking a simple question but the way she structures the class is the best part. 3 exams and a final w cheat sheet, drops the worst. Boring lectures, I didn't showed up to class and studied on my own, very easy content tho
Worst math professor I ever had. Unclear super thick accent with constant mumbling, doesn't care at all about her students and is inaccessible outside of class. Disrespectful and talks down on students who ask questions during her lectures, while her class consists of her reading her sloppy notes word for word. Terrible, avoid if at all possible.
Give formulas for every test, which basically gives you the answer to every question. Not the best at teaching but just use the formula sheets for the tests and it is not that hard to get an A.
absolute bot mad disrespectful
AVOID SHE IS THE WORST
Awful person but easy class. Yells at students for no reason and doesn't teach just reads off her notes. Tests are very easy and you get formula sheet. No need to study
Extremely rude and disrespectful to students. Not great at explaining concepts and does not know how to use a computer. She snaps at kids in class on a regular basis for asking simple questions. Don't know how she ever got a job here. The content of the class is not difficult, you're better off learning on your own and just going for tests.
easiest class oat, she's nice and attendance isn't mandatory
1. Insensitive and cruel 2. Attendance matters even though everything is put online 3. She will not answer ANY questions especially about a previous class 4. If you miss class because you were on your death bed.. that is your fault, she does not care 5. All tests and quizzes come with formula sheet, easy A 6. Does not post grades
Refuses to answer questions, very condescending and rude, often talks down to students. Formula sheets for every test that tell you exactly what to do. Also, she does not post grades online and if you ask her to she will get mad cause she is old-fashioned. She did not know how to use zoom and canceled class over the hurricane. Similar to AP Stats.
She needs to reitre she is way to old. You cannot understand her. Toughest grader. Doesnt want you to do well. Rips on you for asking question. she is actually the worst. Take any othe professor
Avoid her at all costs. She's impossible to reach and wont ever answer your emails. Her classes are so boring and hard to stay focused in. She's always in a bad mood and never wants to help her students. Gets mad if you ask questions and just couldn't care less about her students. her exams are always 10x harder than the quiz.
No homework in the class, but quizzes almost every week. Two exams and a final which she grades very strictly if you don't use her exact formula and she will give little credit for the correct answer. Took AP stat in hs and got an A in the class and 5 on the exam, and would consider this class more tedious.
I will say, if your grade is above an A- at the end of the semester, you don't have to take the final. However, she's so mean, and is extremely condescending if you ask questions. The class is really not that hard, but if you struggle with math and want a supportive professor, avoid her at all costs.
DO NOT TAKE!!!! This is the worst teacher I have ever had in my entire life. She is so rude when people ask questions, she does not make sense, what is done in class is NOTHING like the tests. I ignored the ratings for her and it is my biggest regret. She takes points off randomly and even if you get the right answer she won't give you points.
Yea she's not the most approachable person ever but this class was genuinely so easy to me and if you're fine with just teaching yourself the concepts this class will be a breeze just don't bother asking questions in class. She writes down every equation/gives formula sheet for exams/quizzes and u just plug the numbers into the formulas. Also No HW
Great professor overall! Just attend each class, pay attention, and you will do fine. No homework, and formula sheet is given for every quiz and exam. Notes are clear and straightforward with examples forked out step by step with explanations.
Worst professor at this school. Would not take her unless you want to suffer.
Run. Worst grader ever. Rude person
She is the most miserable human and does not want her students to do well. The most boring lectures ever, and you learn nothing she just reads straight through. She never asks people to answer questions its no engagement. Most ridiculous grader ever, so make sure you really write out every step and especially the equation. AVOID AVOID
Absolutely terrible. So unfair, rude, disorganized and does not care about her students. Zero guidance on what will be on quizzes/exams and usually looks nothing like the class notes, feels like she wants to trip you up on purpose. I can't believe the school hasn't done anything.
She is the worst professor I've ever had. I saw the negative reviews before enrolling and ignored them, and I immediately regretted it. This class is unbelievably disorganized, poorly taught, and frustrating from start to finish. DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS CLASS THIS CLASS TANKED MY GPA. I had Straight A's this semester and she gave everyone a bad grade
not a bad prof, a little harsh. She uploads notes and if you just practice the questions in her notes, you should be able to get a B or more. She has a specific method she wants, but it's not that hard, just practice answering questions the way that she does. Also if you do rlly well, you don't have to take the final :) this is rlly easy math.
I know theres negative reviews. The only reason people do bad is because she gives you a cheat sheet, and people end up not studying. You need to do her practice problems. Annoying but the sheet is more of a guide, you need to know the steps to the problems which people dont study and why they do poor.
I have never had a professor who cared so little about their students. Takes points off for whatever she wants. Extremely unhelpful and rude when you ask questions, and wants things done her specific way, so tutors can't even help that much. Literally skip a semester of math over taking her for this course. Save yourself.
