Don't get on her bad side. Her tests are easy if you study. You only need notes. The assignments are easy if you pay attention. She's snotty and inconsiderate, though. Does not give any partial credit, even if it's clear you understand the process. So if your answer is wrong, the whole problem is wrong. Her test questions range from 3-10pts each.

I took this class for one of my generals, and Professor Hamilton was very hard and strict. If you miss one class, you lose ten points. If you miss the assignment turn in, it is an automatic zero. She does not mess around. Her lectures were easy to follow and if you get your work done and show up, you will be good.

Don't believe her when she tells you to study the Kahoot questions for the test. She is not considerate at all. Make sure when submitting homework, you send a file that she can open otherwise it's an automatic Zero. she's not a nice person.

The class was easy, but you do assignments on Hill McGraw where you need to master anywhere between 40 and 150 topics per week... each topic makes you get 3 right answers to get 1 topic, making some assignments be over 400 questions. Answers are online and easy, just a lot of work and a lot of homework each week for a 100 level elective.

Probably the worst professor I have had. Takes every chance to embarrass you in front of the class and makes you feel stupid. Doesn't give extra help when asked. Had a family member pass away and wouldn't extend a homework assignment due that night. Take this course with another professor if possible (Forsyth). Exams are extremely difficult as well

Met a lot of strict professors but this professor is the WORST & most DIFFICULT I've had. She has ZERO sympathy for students. She expects you to know everything she said/did not say. Don't bother emailing her for help. She doesn't really respond and even if she did, you either receive no help or receive feedback that makes you feel like crap.

Professor Hamilton does not answer emails, even as an advisor, she does not let you make up any points for homework, she is very strict and VERY rude. She calls people out for anything and will make you feel horrible and dumb for asking for help. She tells you what to study and it is not even what is on the test. I wish I never took this class

Even though the class was quite easy, there were moments when it was super demanding since she assigned a lot of work, and some assignments took a very long time to do. The professor is also a VERY STRICT GRADER, and if you miss one thing or misunderstand one thing on an assignment, you will automatically get a zero.

This class should have been a straightforward as the assignments are not difficult. Some weeks would be doubled up without warning while others had no work, and I ended with this grade because of hidden assignments - even with 100% on everything else. Email responses were very rude and unprofessional and usually never fully answered my question.

I took this class online which was easy but got busy at times due to doubling of assignments. It was mainly smartbooks, with a few essays/projects. Her grading is VERY tough. If you miss one thing it's automatically your fault, she makes sure to tell you that. Extremely rude/unprofessional when answering emails. I felt insulted quite a few times.

I took this class in person but it wasn't my favorite. Please go to her class and make sure that you are not late. She will call you out in front of the class if you are late or on your phone. Lectures are boring and don't correspond with the homework. She doesn't tell you when the homework is due or quizzes due.

A lot of people didn't like her because she would call you out during class for being on your phone, laptop, etc but if you just pay attention you'll be fine. There is a quiz for each section (once a week) but there's only 20 questions and you get a second attempt for the ones you get wrong. Theres a health video but idk if online classes have it.

Ms. Hamilton is lowkey unhinged. She has said a couple of out of pocket and racist things in class which had my jaw on the floor. DO NOT look at your phone during class, even to check the time. DO. NOT. be even a minute late, or points will be taken away. If you pay attention (or act like) during class you will be fine. Homework is fine.

She was honestly fine at first, but progressively got worse throughout the semester. Expects you to memorize every word in the book and what she says. Very nit-picky grader. Rude/condescending and will embarrass you if she gets the chance. Homework will save your grade.

I thought since I took her class online that it wouldn't be so bad, but I have never met anyone so rude and she is the biggest narcissist I've ever experienced. It is her way or no way, don't you dare get confused because, by the time she gets around to answering your question, you'll already be in another unit. Homework was decently easy.

Dr. Hamilton was honestly not that bad are far as her person. She is an extremely tough grader who is not very understanding sometimes. Low-key unhinged sometimes. I wouldn't personally take this class again, just take it online through another school probably. If you are gifted with understanding statistics you will be fine.

Professor Hamilton is not very communicative with students and is a "my way or the highway" kind of person. She is not flexible when it comes to missing class or any type of grade. The class covers a lot of topics, and there are usually 1-3 quizzes a week. Don't go on your phone during class because you will lose participation points.

Biostats is basically STAT154 applied to health/clinical trial situations (it's lowkey a joke of a 400-level class). For Hamilton, in addition to manual calculations, you use IBM SPSS (which is easy), but the other prof does Excel instead. Also, in-person > online. I heard online is more homework, stricter grading, and lots of textbook reading.

She only uses cengage for homework and you have to memorize 100+ terms each chapter. The syllabus says that the homework is worth over 2000 points put really it's only worth 50 total.
