Her strong background in statistics made the calculations easy, she will teach you alternative (simpler) methods than the textbook. Always gives feedback and recaps areas the class should focus on for exams. Attendance isnt necessary but youll get an easy 80 at least if you do in comparison to reading the overly dry textbook thats redundant.

Carolyn is kinda crazy, but in a good and quirky way. Prof Augusta is very passionate about stats and makes it fairly easy to follow along in class, but her cryptonite is that she sometimes gets ahead of herself and talks very fast. I havent looked at the textbook yet and have 90.5% so far.

Carolyn is an amazing professor for statistic. It is vital that you attend class or else you won't have the examples as she only posts the question and not the solutions. Her tests are very similar to the in class material - she is not trying to trick you. She does move fast but there are often several similar examples to allow for practice. 10/10

Amazing! Our class went online because she was pregnant, but she was available to help the entire time. She posts lots of extra material for people who need extra help. She is good at explaining concepts and goes over questions clearly. Lots of time for assignments and keeps you on track.

This is the second time I have taken a class from Professor Augusta. She is unbelievable. She goes above and beyond to ensure you truly understand the content. She is a super fair professor. I took the online version, and I highly recommend it. It's awesome to create your own schedule.

Carolyn will ensure that her students have all means necessary to succeed in her classes - even the textbook, which she authored, is free. The content seems easy to grasp when she explains it but make sure you read the textbook and practice to get a good grade, nothing is as easy on paper.

Carolyn is literally the best prof I've had at Edwards. Even taking stats online is easy with the level of detail she puts into her content. She also posts dozens of videos going over specific questions and the assignments will reference these videos on specific questions. She's amazing, don't take stats from anyone else.

Lectures are full of info, examples, and are easy to understand. The assessments are straightforward and the grading criteria is clear. She teached in a effective and efficient manner without dragging the lectures and is patient when students ask questions that "they should already know". Approachable and easy to interact with in class!

Carolyn wants you to succeed and gives many opportunities to help you learn. She is passionate and super friendly. She wrote the textbook for the class but gives all her students free access to it. I thought that was awesome as it shows that she cares more about teaching than making a quick buck off of her students.

For a semi-difficult class, Carolyn made it a lot simpler and easier. She goes through many problems in class similar to stuff you see on homework and midterms. She works through problems slowly and ensures every student understands. Great prof

Her tests are quite short, so be sure you know the material, since 25 marks ain't a lot to work with for the final and mid-term. Material is simple and presented easily and clearly.

Really good teacher, but has a real hard-on for not allowing any graphic calculators in class despite the class not having anything to do with graphing or any way to cheat with one in the class. If you have one, she'll take it away and can't justify why you can't use it. Really weird given calculus allows them.

She only replies to my short emails, otherwise she won't reply to my emails at ALL. Don't know what that final exam was... a bunch of annoying word problems which I get is good for real life but what WAS THAT? Not just me, but my friends who took it beleived they failed as well and hated it.

Tests are tricky, you need to prepare a lot for them if you're like be and aren't very strong in math. The second test was a lot easier than the first one. She gives lots of material that can be used for studying and wrote the textbook herself. Her lectures were very engaging and she doesn't expect you to know anything going into it.

Had her for 104 as well, and all I can say is that she is a super good teacher. Provides numerous examples in class and always makes herself available to you for help. Beware of midterm test 1 for 207, though; it's a tough one.

carolyn is really good and works hard at teaching students. if your not super math smart you'll need to really put in the work to do well and hiring a tutor is a good idea. first midterm was really difficult and she had to curve it a lot cause hardly anyone passed, but the 2nd midterm was much easier to study for and the final wasn't too bad.

Honest review, she is a good teacher. The only hard thing about this class is the material up to Midterm 1. Everything that follows is a cake walk. Spend most of your time reviewing the first half of the course. As everything that follows, once you know it, you know it.
