She's good at explaining what she wants you to know, but there are a lot of errors in her handouts and tests. She tries to make stats fun (is that possible?). Watch out for the test and her strict point system - even though its a stats class, she doesn't grade on a curve!

Go to class, you will NEVER, and I mean never know when points will be available. She says that quizzes will always be on the last meeting of the week and classwork the first, but it never turned out that way. Notes are useless, as they are the same in the book. So try as little as you can, and you'll get a B as she gives a grip of EC

She is a wonderful, caring and hood teacher. Gives loads of hw and classwork but its all reasonable. Easy to get an A if you actually do sht. Very reasonable as in she won't test you on things that she hasn't taught you, given you classwork and hw on. Stats itself is very tedious but she makes lectures bearable.
