never attended classes because her lectures are hard to follow. got Bs on midterms, but when the final came around, ace it for an overall grade of A for the class. just study off of the pre-tests and you'll do fine.

Not bad. I suppose it is very hard to follow in class. But if you study her pretests and tests she gives from last semester. You can do very well. The key is understanding the pre tests and youll do fine

She is a really nice teacher. She is always willing to help out her students. The class is hard though. You really have to understand the material. The practice tests and inclass problems are helpful... the homework is not.

Class has a lot of HW that takes hours to complete, but she's a good teacher who takes the time to make you understand, so ask questions when you get lost. Grading is cool, score highest on the final and that will be your semester garde.

Take notes. She is very clear in lecture. I did not do homework and passed. Get one sheet of notes for the exams. Quizzes are open book. She does not skip steps and follows problems through to the end.

she is really willing to help you understand. she goes over everything you need to know. if you go to class then you should take her

Got job done, tsts, quiz,and HW easy. I have a lot of math background so this may be why.PROS: 1 Sheet notes on each test. Explained thoroughly, wlng to help, nice.CONS: Amount of HW is a joke, graded, took me > 7hours a week to do, thinks all you have is her class. Swtches btn variables in exples=very cnfsing evn for me. ALWAYS stands in front of her boardwork!!!

Nice professor, I took her class when she taught here for her first semester (about 2-3 years ago). Tons of HW, tests are fair if you do the HW and understand them. Got an A in her class.

material is easy if you actually show up to class and take good notes. also lets you use a full page of notes front n back for all quizes and exams so that def helps. may be a bit weird but as long as u pay attention n show to class ur all good. make sure you do all the hw tho. its easy points. i must admit i did like her and would reccomend

Kalinowski is a great statistics professor. She explains concepts the easiest way for students to understand. She would clarify anything you dont' understand in a silver plater. No BUS90 course can get the same learning quality as Kalinowski. I highly recommend YOU to take her class and Enjoy!

I personally think using a check book calculator for doing statistic is some what... outdated. If you can do it on a graphing calculator... why not? Immagine you have to plug in 100 data(simply LOL). Sure, she teaches the class with all her heart. Taking her class wont get you any where on statistics.

She is a really good teacher!at times she can be unclear and unorganized but she is so helpful. i did not want to take her after reading her comments on here,but im glad i did. i learned the material well and it was because of her. i would recommend her to the worst students.

VERY EASY class. Grading NOT on a curve. Ample opportunity for EASY extra credit. Lowest quiz score dropped. Quizzes/exams/final nearly identical to previous terms' (which she makes available online). Overall improvement throughout term weighed heavily into final grade. Do HW and check past exams for an EASY grade. Good lecturer. Can't ask for more

Easy Professor. Most people[I] failed the quizzes but Got A's on midterms. the midterms were like 99.9% identical to quizzes given in class. Professor was unorganized at times. Would recommend going to class everyday even though there was no point..... it just puts a good impression on the professor. EASY!

She is very passionate about teaching. Although her teaching style is not always straightforward, she will do her absolute best to help students outside of class. Quizzes are so basic! Just study what she tells you to. Her study guides were practically the same as the tests. Yes, you will actually have to study, but she is not as bad as people say!

An underrated professor. Somewhat disorganized, but teaches the material well enough. Quizzes are very easy. Midterm is fairly easy; final is simple and non-cumulative. Allows one page of notes (both sides) for exams and quizzes. Practice exams are very similar to midterm/final. Come to class daily (and pay attention) and you'll get at least a B.

hard and easy teacher. hard because of the content. easy because of the HUGE HUGE amount of extra credit you can get. plus, her grading system works with you. Example:I had an overall C or B in the class, but got an A because I got an A on the final. psst, if you get a C- in the class, she'll probably bump it up to a C if you make a good impression

Took her winter class and found it easy considering how complicated the material can get. She is really organized, uses powerpoints, and is very helpful with questions. Quizzes prepare you for the tests, no curveballs. Brush up on your algebra and it's not too bad.

Prof. Kalinowski is a great professor I've ever had at SJSU. She is very knowledgeable, kind; also very clear and organize when lectures. She gives lots of partial credits,so if you don't know how to solve the entire problem on exams, just write as much as you know you can get lots of credits-just don't leave it blank. Highly recommended!!!

She is a great prof., very clear and organized. Love her teaching and grading style - encourage and help students to learn. Take hers you'd learn a lot - not just math, but the abilities and courage to do more. Write down as much as you know on exams, you'll get lots of partial credits. She is a great prof. I've ever had - love her!

Helpful professor. Not saying class is easy or she is an easy professor but she will definitely do her best to make sure you understand the material. Second time I took BUS 90 and she definitely does a better job than the other professor did to help me understand statistics. Definitely a GREAT Summer course teacher. made 4 hrs 5 wk course bearable!

Breaks everything down for you. You have to do the work, but it's nothing unnecessary. Everything she assigns helps you learn the material, and there's no sneak attack questions on the midterms.

She really cares about her students and puts in a lot of effort to help them understand the material and succeed in the course. Her grading is on the difficult side but getting an A is doable if you put in decent effort. Overall great professor and I would definitely take again.

Took her business 90 class during the winter and she made me work for it. Didn't have much time to sleep during the 2 weeks of the class because of the deadlines but it kind of pushed me and didn't leave me time to procrastinate. I wouldn't recommend her winter class to someone who works full time but, overall I think she is a good professor.

Very easy going instructor. Gives note taking material that highlights what will be on the quizzes - tells you exactly what to study for quizzes. the hardest part of this course is probably the group project which i found fairly easy if you have a good group.

Her lectures are very clear and she goes over concepts that are confusing multiple times. You just need to pay attention in class and listen.

I had her for both Bus 90 and Bus 190. She cares a lot for her students and is willing to re-explain complicated topics. Her practice tests are very similar to her actual tests and she allows you a cheat sheet. I highly recommend this class because it has a chill atmosphere. Just do her old tests and you'll ace her exams.

Mrs. Kalinowski is a very knowledgeable and has a lot of passion for what she does. Took her over the winter for Bus 190 and enjoyed the class till the very last day. She is really helpful and cares about her students. I surely believe that her rating is low because the students themselves dont put any effort

Great professor! If you attend all her lectures and pay attention, it's not hard to get an A. QBA has a lot of steps and can be confusing, but professor K teaches the material clearly and at a decent pace, and she's always available to help at her office hours. She a caring professor and she WANTS her students to pass.

Ms. Kalinowski is a wonderful person. If you need help she is willing to help. You can't miss class because if you miss one class you will be far behind. The hw assignments are very long, but its best to make friends in the class to get help. She also helps with your HW if you don't understand. Follow her instructions and you will pass the class.

Can snap out at you at times, keep in mind she has a lot of grading to deal with. I was nervous to take her but she really wants to help students, grades fair and wants you to do well. She can be rude at times but overall I did not have a bad experience. Put in some effort and pay attention in class and you will get the grade you deserve.

DOES NOT REQUIRE CALCULUS AS A PRE-REQ. You will still need an add code from her, but she's the only professor who doesn't use Calculus. She will want to see a solid 90-Stats grade. Don't skip class, PAY ATTENTION, and have her tutors go over your homework. Her homework takes 1.5hrs to complete. Her quizzes and tests are easier than the HW.

My senior year and Kalinowski is by far my favorite professor. She's well-prepared and very knowledgable. If you pay attention in class, take good notes, you'll do well and learn a lot. She wants all her students to succeed so go to office hours and ask questions! She makes up her own HW problems and they're all applicable to real life problems!

Tedious homework every week, weekly quizzes with lockdown browser that have to be taken on Fridays. The midterm isn't hard, she posts really detailed study guides and basically everything is done in class. Definitely easier professors to take this class with, but Ann will give you a lot more in depth and relevant knowledge. Lots of handouts.

BUS190 is not an easy class. That being said, Prof. Kalinowski makes the material easier to follow. There is a lot of math involved so be forewarned, but the homework does help to study and review for the exams, which are worth the biggest chunks of your grade.

Honestly not that hard of a class!! I was scared going into it bc of all the reviews I had read but if you just show up to class and take notes + do the homework and weekly quizzes you will be fine. like any other class you have to do your part of the work or else you cant expect an easy a.

Professor Kalinowski is a great professor. I thought she was fair and I learned a lot taking her class. Do the HW, take the quizzes on time and you'll be fine. She posts previous exams to study, which are 60-70% similar to the one you'll take. Not all professors do this. She holds office hours after class, and tutoring is available at JHSSC.

Professor Kalinowski is a great teacher. There is hw every week but its there so when the tests come around you are truly ready. Give your all with the hw and make sure to do the online quizzes. Shes very willing to help at her office hours. I highly recommend going at least a couple times. Material isnt very hard, just pay attention

This is a hard class overall and if you're not going to put in the work you're not going to pass. If you ask for clarification she will help you. The most useful part is that she has her lectures online so you can reference on your own. She Grades slow so don't expect to have an A when u haven't turned anything in and she hasn't updated ur grades

Excellent professor. I see a lot of people complaining about her being "too hard" or giving "hard tests" and not helping students out. I have her in the Covid semester and she has bent over backwards to help all of her students out. She literally has said "if you need help, call me at any time-I'm not doing anything". If you try you'll do well.

She's good at explaining the material. The HW is usually straight forward. Weekly quizzes but you can use your notes. I took pictures of the powerpoint before taking the quizzes which helped. Got 15/15 on majority. The exams are worth majority of your grade. Bu the questions/answers can be found in her previous finals. VERY off-topic during lecture

Great professor, but if you don't do the work, don't expect to get a good grade. There's weekly homework that you can knock that out in a couple of hours AND it helps out with quizzes (open notes). As long as you keep on the hw and quizzes, you'll do well!

Folks, this professor is extremely underrated. Going into BUS 190 I was a bit nervous, but Ann truly is wonderful at what she does. She is incredibly organized, has videos you can reference too, and goes above and beyond to help out her students. Very accessible. One of the best professors I've had at SJSU.

Took her for Business Statistics. She is strict but she really cares about students. As long as you communicate and ask for help, she will do anything to help you. You are allow a two sided paper cheat cheat for each exam. 3 exams and 1 final. In my case, there were only 2 exams because of COVID-19. Homework and quizzes weekly. Some extra credit

Highly recommend this professor! Weekly quizzes and homework, but she drops the lowest two. Offers flexible office hours, extra credit, and problem solving sessions that allow students to practice lecture material. No textbook needed. She really goes out of her way to ensure her students succeed and offers plenty of opportunity to better your grade

Kalinowski is so super underrated. Take her course!! Beware of weekly homework and quizzes, but if you pay attention and participate, it should all be fairly easy. She made intimidating topics like linear programming and decision trees easy to tackle. Offers lots of extra credit and has plenty of office hour sessions. She makes it easy to do well!

The professor was really helpful. She will review all the materials before every test. The test is not that difficult if you try to review old tests which she posted on Canvas. You need to do lot of homework, but they are helpful. She also gives extra credit assignments. Last but not least, the lectures are clear and easy to understand.

Her lectures are easy to understand. Gives a lot of homework though. Tests arent difficult at all as long as you do all the homework and quizzes.

She side tracks alot, but its all good. Her tests are similar to quizzes and and she doesn't twist questions like some of the other professor. All the materials are online. Show up and do the work, should be an EZ A. She offers lots of extra credits 1% added to your overall grade. Regular office hours and she is very caring. A++

Professor Kalinowski is an awesome math teacher. She truly cares if you pass. The way she structures her class and tests make it easy to pick up the info. She always has office hours to help and is glad to help. Her teachings have helped me in my next math class.

The semester started out rough due to technical difficulties involving her internet connection. Once that was under control the class was not as difficult as I thought it would be. She explains things well. 1 weekly homework assignment 1 weekly quiz, 1 midterm, 1 final + plus extra credit opportunities. Only tests on material covered in class

I think she's a good professor who cares about students actually learning the material. She gives weekly HWs & posts the solution the next day to help prepare for the quiz. She drops the lowest 3 HWs & 2 quizzes & offers tons of extra credit. I see people complaining about her cats/internet but she'll be teaching in-person again so you'll be ok.

She was tough though fair. If you don't understand something use her office hours. She takes the time to explain it to you if you are there asking the questions. The semester was online and internet issues were a pain though seeing her cat pop in to class occasionally was a great mood lightener.

The Professor can be stubborn and ignorant of people's situations at times, but she 100% wants you to learn and will settle for nothing less than applying yourself. However, Covid makes this horrible. bad internet, and HIGHLY unorganized. But, if you can pass these issues 100% take her, I learned a lot and enjoyed the material. Get ready to learn!

Ann is NOT EASY, but she is a good professor! She makes sure that we understand the material. She has multiple office hours available! She is sweet, even tho some people complain about her cats and rumbling, honestly, it does not happen often or for too long. I've taken some higher math classes and believe me Ann is a charm compared to others.

Seems intimidating at first, and remains some what unapproachable throughout the year... BUT her class is super straight-forward and relatively easy to learn in. One homework assignment a week, one quiz a week. Homework is almost EXACTLY like the lectures in class. She drops 3 lowest scores for hw and 2 lowest scores for quizzes. I highly recommend

She does everything for her students' success. She records lectures and posts them to rewatch later. I don't understand how one can be in her class and is not able to find the recordings on canvas. She has five office hours a week!FIVE!You rewatch the lectures, do exactly what she says and ask questions during the office hour. Just do the work.

Be ready to work for your grade! tho she is generous in grading, not like other higher math professors I've had. Take her if you are good at math and if your stats class was somewhat easy for you, she is a solid choice. If you don't like math and looking for an easy A, DO NOT take her. Save yourself from trouble. The other ratings reflect that :))

Idk why so many bad reviews. I found the class to be not that bad. More stats related stuff. We used excel for the first half of class and we did probability the next half. A lot of hw but its graded on the easy questions cause she's only 1 person. Make a class group chat to help each other on hw. Cheat sheets are allowed on everything.

Professor Ann is very nice person and teacher. HW and Quiz are similar questions, using MyStatLab. Total 3 Midterms and 1 Finals with one cheat sheet for each exams. She provides Reviews Questions with answers for all the exams which are similar to exams too!!! So this class will be an EASY A if u just go to class take notes and do hws!!!

not sure y ppl are being so rude about her. she is the sweetest professor, she is on the older side so I understand when ppl say she rambles but tbh u only need to show up to class to receive participation points. she posts all her old midterms that are almost the same exact one ull recieve so if u look over those, which she tells u 2 ull pass

I took this class over summer. The material isn't that difficult to grasp, it can just feel difficult relearning it the way she wants you to. She gives a ton of extra credit opportunities to boost your grade up, not difficult to pass but not an easy A either. She really is nice but just doesn't tolerate excuses. Be an active participant, it helps

First, she is an inspiring professor with a rich academic and industry background. Second, her teaching style makes complex concepts accessible and captivating. Third, her feedback on HW helps us understand and improve. Lastly, her integration of real-life experiences into lessons enriches learning and prepares us for professional challenges.

Very easy class considering it is a math course and all quizzes and exams are MULTIPLE CHOICE. She honestly cares a lot about the students and is very understanding.

I was so worried about taking her class after checking the RMP, but she was not bad at all. Just don't skip the class, take notes seriously, and go over old exams before the midterms and finals. If you follow her instructions, you will definitely pass this class. Plus, go to office hours if you are struggling!

I was worried about this class but she gives you so many resources to do well. You get to see examples of old midterms, finals, and she gives lots of extra credit. As long as you try, you should do well. took the condensed version of the class and everyone passed the class. She will have lots of funny stories about her cats lol

By showing up you'll be rewarded with midterm help that you won't be able to get from the textbook. She has great online resources such as old midterms which are extremely helpful. With poor attendance, I scraped an A together using the online resources. It isn't easy but you'll be fine if you come to class regularly. She's old school but kind.

I would say this professor is the most accommodating professor. The subject itself is difficult however she made it easier to understand.

190 is a hard class but if you put in effort, you will def pass this class. Prof might not be the most approachable but she gives lots of ec and old exams to study for (which are basically the same as the actual exams, just diff numbers). This class is def not an easy A but if you take good notes and attend class, you will be fine

I've seen many reviews paint a false picture of Professor Kalinowski. If you're respectful during class time and show up most of the time, you'll be fine. She provides old tests nearly identical to the ones you'll be taking. If you are still immature I would recommend avoiding this class. If you have basic manners you'll be good.

Honestly it's kind of bizarre reading all these negative reviews. The vast majority of people in my class received an A or B. The class is very straightforward and I think that most of these reviews are from people who either didn't put any effort into the class or just didn't show up consistently. The professor is kind and entertaining as well.

one of the best professors I've ever had. I get why she wants the hw done her way but she's doing it for our benefit because her way is the easiest way. I was scared going into this class but she's a great prof and always wants to help if we don't understand. If you failed, it's on you because she told us exactly what would be in the exam.
