She's incredibly disorganized and her notes are all over the place! Needless to say she was very hard to keep up with and didn't explain things that well on top of her terrible notes.

Dessens will not answer questions, refuses to explain the equations, and gives us no time at all to comprehend what she is doing at top speed. She claims we are in a math-based program and need to step up, yet we are in the first year. Maybe she should teach us before we can step it up. Worst math teacher I've ever had in my life

I thought she was the cutest little thing on the planet. Her notes aren't bad, but since the course is now a consolidated course, she lacks the theory. She is amazing at examples and showing how to do the statistical analysis but lacks theory. Overall though, she is super nice and I thought she was great.

Excellent course and Prof. Made it all very do-able. So Glad I took it with Beda. I would absolutely recomend her for this course.

She's really likeable and funny! Exams were EXACTLY like practice exams and in class examples. Midterm is only out of 18 though and worth a lot so you don't want to mess that one up! She tends to take 50 minutes to do a problem that should take 25 max. If you're able to stay awake and focus with that, then I definitely recommend her!!

This is a consolidated course. Very boring and the labs took a long time to do. The exams were unnecessarily difficult, so the class averages were extremely low. As a teacher, she is pretty good, but her notes aren't the best.

really nice lady but makes things slightly confusing. her notes are disorganized & it gets scrambled. the tests are consolidated so they were very hard. you don't need to attend class at all. all notes are put online

Attendance is not mandatory. Since it's a consolidated course, the midterm and final were very hard!

Such a funny lady and explains concepts clearly. However, the Stat 151 midterm and final are not based on her class. This made the course extremely frustrating. I got a good grade but I still wished I'd taking her stat 141 course instead. Would've made things less frustrating since she writes her own exams for that course.

She is the worst teacher in UA. She always late, and never prepare for lecture. She always texting in the lecture.

Clear and to the point. I studied the practise midterm and did well. She made sure that the midterm was similar to the practise. She posts everything right after class.

Straight forward. No surprises on exam. Yes, everything was posted including all notes ( that's nice :)) and all hints and solutions and really good practise exams which she totally went over in class. Took a lot of time to go through material in detail. Knew exactly what to expect for final. Definitely appreciated all of that. Thanks!

She is a good prof in the fact of getting the material across. The midterm was easy and fair. However, the final for fall 2013 was NOTHING like the practice and was super difficult!!! Have fun with stats :)
