There's online homework that's fairly simple and will be a good portion of your final grade. If you don't miss any of the homeworks you should get an A or a B. Also she's very attractive.

Graded by online hw, online quizzes, and in class exams . Going to class is necessary to understand the material. Notes are provided but set up as examples that you work through in class so, again, go to class. Material is challenging but she has office hours. Do all the homework to really help your grade. Drops lowest homework and quiz grades.

Excellent course and an excellent professor. Very no-nonsense, don't try begging for extra credit or taking the test at a different date, she makes it very clear that it's inappropriate. 5 points of extra credit per test contingent on doing well on a bonus quiz. I stopped doing the homework after the 1st test because she let us use cheat sheets.

Professor Durrani is like, a standard good math teacher.

I missed about 3 classes, but did all of the homework, and had a 98 before the final. Totally doable even if you're bad at math.

Professor Durrani was a wonderful teacher who was very straightforward with the work she expected. Her videos and lessons were very easy to understand, this coming from someone who has always hated math. You get out what you put in for her class but she is very helpful!

This rating might be a little bit too harsh, but there were some things that bothered me with the quality of the class. The material taught in the lectures didn't correlate well w/ the textbook. And I didn't understand the material well even after studying it for long periods. If you're majoring in some form of math you should be good.

By far my favorite professor this semester!! There was a few homework assignments for each exam and the semester had five exams altogether. Each exam had an extra credit question to go with it. I felt that it was an easy class but I had taken statistics before in high school.

Definitely a pretty easy A if you watch her videos and copy her notes. The homework and quizzes will be based on her notes. The tests get progressively harder, but she gives 1 extra credit problem per test and you can use your notes on the test. If you put in a little work, you can easily get an A.

Online lectures where she actually taught and did practice examples, usually under 10 mins each but definitely helpful. She organized everything by the week with all the links and notes right with the lectures. This is my first statistics class and I have an A, shes great. Tests arent too challenging, 20 qs with 1 e/c. Graded on hw and quizzes.

Homework and quizzes are super easy. I missed one exam because my grandfather passed away and she said I couldn't retake it resulting in me barely passing. She is not understanding whatsoever. The class is an easy A, just don't miss any assignments because it puts a huge dent in your grade.

5 exams total to 60% of your grade,1 low exam score can drop your grade a few points so be careful with that (no exams are dropped). Quizzes are one-attempt; 1 homework & 1 quiz are dropped overall. She has pre-recorded lectures from her home and no PowerPoints but the lectures are decent. Doesn't tend to personal issues (read syllabus 1st)

This was my first time taking stats and she explained everything perfectly in her notes, gave examples, and had videos of her working through the problems. Unlimited tries on homework and non graded review quizzes. She really wants you to learn and makes it accessible even remotely. She also sends a weekly statistics joke in her emails. 10/10

She is wonderful! Her online teaching format is the best by far out of anyone else Ive had. She walks you through the problems and is very easy to get ahold of if you have any issues. Shes compassionate and takes the time to teach you why youre learning the topic not just to memorize and forget! Im not good at math but I excelled in this class.

Prof. Durrani is seriously the best math professor I have ever had! Her video lectures are amazing. Super simple and so easy to comprehend. She gives her own written notes as well as a blank copy to make your own so you can follow along and I cannot stress enough how helpful it was. I will try to take her again for any class I possibly can!

Prof. Durrani is amazing! I have always hated math and barely passed with a C in other classes, but the only way you can fail in her class is if you deliberately do no work at all the whole semester. Not only does she explain stats so impeccably she also gives you many chances to gain extra credit.

Ms. Duranni is the BEST math teacher you will ever have. I've struggled with stats in the past and thanks to her I ended the course with an A. Never used the textbook. She lectures so clearly and repeats information several times throughout the lecture to ensure that you get it. She is also super funny and she wants her students to do well!

Great Professor. We had homework on mymathlab every week and a quiz almost every week. She posts short lecture videos and notes that were very clear and helped a lot. The exams were slightly harder than the homework, in my opinion, but still not too bad. If you are taking stats I would definitely recommend Professor Durrani!

Professor Durani's "worked-out notes" were a blessing. They were simple, yet so effective at making us learn the content. On top of this, she was super organized. The homework assignments were unlimited attempts and were great practice for the quizzes and tests.

Worst professor ever. If you struggle with math, avoid Durrani. She can only spend 15 min. a week on zoom if you need extra help. No extra credit. Prepare to spend about 20-25 a week learning on your own. The GTA was no help either. The exams are difficult and if you get more then 5 wrong you're already at a C. Good luck.

The No.1 UCF professor at not giving a heck about their students. After I took my final, she refused to allow me to view it after being graded. She lied repeatedly and I had to email the department head for her to meet with me. Never take her. The best professor out to get you! Her joy is finding cheaters on her GroupMe!

I LOVE PROF. DURRANI! Every math professor should be like her, I would take every course with her if possible. Awesome lectures, even through COVID. Normal amount of hw (it is a math class so it is needed), quizzes were identical to the hw, and she makes her own tests so there are no surprises!

I literally loathe math and hate it! However, she's legit the best math teacher and teacher I've ever had. She makes it easy to understand and I had ready failed this class prior w/ a different teacher. I told her she could teach a box of rocks & they'd understand. I wouldn't take math again, but whatever she's teaching I would. I love her!

There is a book but I think I only opened it twice. She has videos that she gives links for each week that go along with the lessons for each section of the chapter. She does provide zoom tutoring once a week as well as in person tutoring for those who need extra help. All work is done on Connect Math except last 2 chapters are done on canvas.

She Offered 1 extra credit opportunity. Does not extend deadlines, I caught the flu and missed 2 HW assignments, still managed to get a B+ in a C-term fully online class. Not bad at all.
