Was an excellent prof considering this was her first time ever teaching. Since she is new she had a hard time explaining sometimes but she is always willing to meet with you in her office if you need help. definitely recommend.
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.
Had Carolyn for my Comm 104 tutorial, she is the single reason i understood and was able to suceed within the course. She provides very good explanations and examples and really makes the material easy to understand. I highly recommend going to her tutorials and taking a class with her if ever available
She was a very good teacher but went a bit top fast in my books. When you ask for extra help she is kinda mean sometimes so that was a let down since it stopped me from seeking additional help.
lecture examples are curtail for assignments and quizzes, very well explained content
Terrible prof. Exams are not even close to the lectures, homework assignments and quizzes. Goes too fast and is way too intense. Going once, going twice gone. I am not strong in math and if you are not skilled in math you won't pass she assumes everyone can keep to her pace.
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.
I enjoyed Carolyn very much. As long as you show up to class and pay attention. She's super good at explaining things clearly and answers any questions anyone has.
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
I had Afshin for comm104 and I had a horrible time, I couldn't understand a thing so naturally, I was not excited for comm207, but Carolyn turned that right around. She is very clear and concise, very structured and organized, and in her lectures, she tells you what to worry about and what not worry about. If you need to take 207, GET IN HER CLASS
Carolyn is an amazing professor and gives everyone a fair chance at a good grade! She really does care about her students and listens to feedback. The ONLY complaint I have is that her class average is very high going into the final so she will likely have to curve it down. She's a sweetheart and a great prof, highly recommend.
good prof, passionate about what she does. goes a little bit fast but always gives you the opportunity to put up your hand to ask questions, or see her in her office.
What a gem! She makes learning feel somewhat effortless. Lectures were mostly examples and they reflected the content on tests and assignments. She was also incredibly prompt when it came to replying to emails. I would 100% take a class from Carolyn again.
I had her for my COMM 104 class. Her lectures are almost all you need to do great in the class. I only went to her lectures, and all of the information you need to do great in the course she will cover in her lectures. You won't need to buy the textbook, as she has written her own online textbook for us to use. I would take her for all my maths.
Actually enjoyed the class
Didn't need the textbook, as she provided one online that she had written. Very clear examples, and no surprises on any tests. Very easy to put in a little work and get high 90s. She is very approachable and nice. Highly recommend
Carolyn is GREAT! If you have the chance to take her class I highly recommend it. She's super easy to understand and Is really passionate about teaching. The only thing is that she sometimes goes really fast but at the end of the day there's a lot of content to cover and her online textbook is great to review if you get behind.
had her for my stat class, very mint
Professor Augusta makes class interesting with her upbeat personality and funny side comments. She is easily accessible outside of class and encourages questions from students. I was never a stats person. However, professor Augusta explains stats in a simplistic and easy to understand manner. Attend lectures and you'll be good!
Carolyn is th best professor. Her lectures are amazing and organized. She really cares about her students. She provides very good explanations and examples to makes the material easy to understand. Definitely recommend taking a class with her.
The best prof! Truly cares about her students success. She gives so many examples in class and is always prompt with answering her emails. Hardly any students take advantage of office hours so its a great way to get her one on one. Will definitely take more classes from her!
Carolyn was by far one of the best profs I've had, she provided great notes, and would have weekly quizzes so she would know how well you were doing. Cheat sheets were allowed in the midterm and the final, you could put whatever you wanted, and as much or as little as you wanted, 11/10 recommend her.
Carolyn was excited throughout every lecture, her notes were extremely helpful. test, quizzes and exams were not unfair. Hands down most enthusiastic prof. Easy 12/10
Carolyn is by far one of the best Edwards professors. She cares so much about her students and really want her to see her students do well. She's so encouraging too. You won't regret taking stats with her.
Easily the best prof in Edwards. Even through online classes, she has made this course so easy to understand through the weekly tutorials she offers. Carolyn always has a smile on her face, and you can tell she enjoys the subjects that she is teaching. Highly recommend for both COMM 104 and COMM 207.
Professor Augusta, you're a legend. An absolute beauty of a prof. God bless Stats. God bless business majors. And God bless professor Augusta. This woman took a rocket of a hockey player with a silky head of lettuce and made him into a stats god! I'm pumped up going into your final, this class has been a barnburner.
Clearly is passionate about the course material and gives plenty of chances for marks (4-7 question easy weekly quizzes, 3 assignments, exams). Will basically be available to help whenever you ask. Took the first year stats classes with her too and similarly she provides her textbook for free
Carolyn is by far one of the best profs I've had, especially when it comes to stats. She is extremely knowledgeable, gives lots of examples, and her textbook is concise and helpful. Online, she gives you 2 attempts for midterms and the final, which made tests less stressful and way easier.
weekly quizzes are easy, assignments are well explained. tests and finals are usually hard.
Carolyn was an amazing teacher and was able to teach this class in a way that helped to break down more complex ideas! She is very passionate about math and statistics and was great at answering questions. I definitely recommend attending the tutorials especially if you're taking the class online.
This is the BEST prof I have ever had. If youre nervous for this class dont be because Carolyn makes it so easy to understand. She will reply to emails ASAP. You wont ever feel embarrassed to ask her a question because she makes everyone intelligent and respected.
Carolyn is the only reason I was able to understand stats the way I did and succeed in the course. The material covered isnt overly hard just need to stay on top of it. Make a good formula sheet and you're set
She is amazing! She is there to answer any questions, is always available and so helpful. I loved this class and I took it online. I actually like online but Carolyn makes me want to have in person classes because she is such a great teacher. Her course is designed perfectly and she is so willing to take feedback or answer question. Best Prof!
Best professor ever, hands down. Available, encouraging, approachable, and is genuinely invested in her student's success and overall wellbeing. She wrote her own textbook and includes it for free in her comm 104 courses.
During live sessions she gives fantastic feedback. No question is a silly question, she makes sure everyone understands. She also wrote her own textbook and it is easy to follow and improves your understanding. Fantastic course with a fantastic prof. I am specifically looking for her name again in future math+stats courses.
Carolyn is an amazing professor and is definitely the reason I understood anything in COMM 104. Her live lectures are definitely worth attending and she answers any questions thoroughly. She also wrote the textbook herself and provides it for free. I definitely recommend taking her class!
She really cares about her students. Always accessible, never makes your feel stupid for asking even the simplest questions and gives great detailed explanations. If you can't make it to office hours, she will respond to all questions via email very quickly. 10/10 person and professor. Some weeks, the textbook feels long, but that's to be expected.
Carolyn is such an amazing prof! I took COMM104 and currently taking COMM207 with her so far. Definitely the best prof for stats, and arguably the best prof in Edwards. Kind of sad that I won't get to have classes with her anymore in my future years at Edwards. I hope she teaches more classes in the future!
This class is a free 100%. If you are capable of reading her "textbook" and using the same approach to solving exam and assignment questions, you'll do more than pass. If you take it online, beware of errors in her exam questions, she often needs to review them, sometimes even a post review, review is needed.
Carolyn is probably the best professor at Edwards. She is kind and understanding. Her use of her own textbook is great (easy to read, and free!), and she is able to teach difficult concepts. While I am confident with my math background, anyone who isn't should still be able to succeed in her class.
Most fantastic Prof. in Usask!! Highly recommend!!!!!!!!!
she would give us some required readings and a test review right before the test, 10% of our mark and 2 days to prepare with her review. The best part is that the questions were nothing like the ones she gave as examples. Avoid this prof u guys for real, drop if u can
Hands down the best prof I had. I understand her class can be challenging for some, but I achieved 100% (credit to the prof, I loved her class). GREAT prof, so supportive and helpful. You need to practice questions and read the questions carefully. Easy to access outside of class and gives hints or helpful comments for almost every graded question
Super easy to follow. Simple, straightforward lectures. Very funny. No fluff (over explanations). I loved this class and actually looked forward to it every week. So nice taking a class from someone who clearly enjoys teaching and puts in the effort.
This was my second time taking a class with Carolyn and both times it has been amazing. She is unbelievably passionate about statistics, especially at 8:30 AM on Monday mornings. One of my favourite professors, hands down would recommend to anyone. Definitely take a class with her if you get the chance.
Caroline is amazing! She is so passionate about her career and makes it fun to learn stats!
Prof. Augusta was beyond exceptional! She teaches the course in the point of view of the student. She goes over the examples step by step and she explains everything thoroughly. She really wants you to do well in the class. Honestly, she's the best prof in Edwards! Tip: just read the book, attend tutorials, do the examples, and you'll do well.
I took the online version of this class. If you are a mathy person, this class extra help/live lectures are not necessary. Carolyn had an appropriate workload for her students. She also provided many practise questions and worksheets to help understand the content. I will only take a math class from her. She is amazing.
Carolyn is a brilliant professor that I would recommend to anyone. Her lectures are easy to follow and understand. She is caring and wants the best for all of her students.
Carolyn is an amazing professor. She is very clear and thorough. If you like stats this will be a very simple class.
This class was the easiest class I've ever taken. Got 100% on every quiz, 100% on 2/3 of assignments, and 14/15 on both midterms. Carolyn has very clear lectures and sets up the modules in a way that sets the student up for success. To do well in this class, simply go to the lectures and do the recommended ungraded questions before each quiz.
She was super awesome! The only note I would make is that the midterms are nothing like the quizzes. Quizzes are a walk in the park and midterms and final was quite hard. The class has 10 quizzes, 2 midterms, 3 assignments, and a final. I would recommend her to a friend.
Her class is very manageable. There could be more examples, but it is easy to do well. She responds to emails quickly and provides good advice. Assignments are marked pretty fairly and there are a couple attempts for quizzes and tests.
She was incredible. Truly cares about her craft. She was always helping me out whether it was 1 pm or 8 pm. Amazing Professor.
Carolyn is awesome. Plain and simple. She explains math in a very simple and easy to understand way. Complex topics are simplified. She provides her own textbook and videos with clear step by step instructions on how to do every question. So long as you read the textbook, pay attention in lecture, and watch her videos anyone can do very well.
Carolyn is always enthusiastic, and she loves questions. She will explain things in multiple ways to make sure you understand the concept.
Carolyn is one of the best profs you're likely to have in university. She is very enthusiastic about statistics and is able to explain concepts in an easy to understand way. She provides her own textbook and it's so well written that you likely wont have to attend lectures if you dont want to.
carolyn augusta is a great prof for first years don't listen to the other reviews, iam currently taking this class all you need to do is read the required reading and do examples and youll get a really high grade easy 90+
Lovely professor. Cares for her students. Lots of extra help outside of class. Moves at a slower pace.
Very articulate Answers your questions before you even ask Exams and quizzes are never very hard, there's always an example similar to refer to from class If you attend more than half of the lectures, you will do good guaranteed
Carolyn is amazing! Her lectures are great and her tests are not too hard if you study and use your cheat sheets properly. I wish she taught more courses because I would take them all.
I understood every concept and could apply them to homework/quizzes, but had a really hard time applying them on tests because the questions would be so much harder. She tests SO much on verbal lecture information that it makes it that much harder. The lack of a textbook and her preference to make tests 'tricky' are the biggest issues.
Very nice prof and does a good job providing practice questions. My main issue was on the final she said not to worry about module 11 and focus more on other stuff when studying for the final as we will focus more on it next class but then she made 1/4 of the questions on the final from that module. Exam questions worded strangely and more tricky
If math is not your favourite subject, then be mentally prepared to do ALL of the practice exercises from the required reading, example videos, tutorials, and review questions if you want an 85%+ final mark. Also, make sure to read the required reading and prepare your questions on areas that you do not understand BEFORE every module lecture.
Nice lady and super easy to understand. Lectures are done very well and are engaging. Makes the explanations clear and easy to understand and learn.
One of the best profs in business. She makes it really easy to get a good grade all you have to do is the module work and you are good to go. I wish I could take another class with her.
She writes the textbooks and gives them to students for free, if you take stats at UofS take it with Dr. Augusta
Provides so much material, but little assignments. If you are confused on anything, she provides multiple resources and answers questions very clearly. Great for 8 AM classes as she is very up beat.
Carolyn is very caring and respectful. She provides absolutely EVERYTHING for students, including her own textbook for free. Exams seemed to throw many people off as she put many theory questions on there without ever discussing the material in class - only way to answer was google which wasnt a possibility. Sad that she doesnt teach anything else.
Enthusiastic, loves the subject she teaches, and provides amazing feedback. Make sure to do the recommended, tutorial questions and you can easily score well. The exams can be slightly trickier but, to be honest, it's not completely out-of-the-box questions. All you would need to do is give it a few moments to think over it.
Carolyn is a great prof and explains things well. She wrote the textbook but it's long. The class can be hard to understand, make sure to ask questions and pay attention. Don't get discouraged by a low exam mark and don't set your bar too high, if you work hard on assignments and understand concepts, you'll do fine. I think grades are curved too.
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.
Really wonderful. One of the best professors Edwards has to offer. She really wants you to succeed so don't be afraid to ask a question. Entertaining lectures that are recorded if you don't attend one day.
She makes everything as much simple as possible. Lectures are all recorded for later review. Quizzes and exams are not tricky and all well-explained
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!
the best prof! so helpful and great at explaining things. Is constantly checking in with the class to make sure everyone understands. She records lectures so you dont NEED to go to class, but i would recommend going in person
Good prof, not much else to say
She is amazing. Just absolutely amazing. She could teach stats to a baby. She's great at explaining, and she is very fair with her assessments. She also posts the full recorded lectures online. I wish I could have her for every subject I take.
Very good at explaining
She's just great. A statistics class seems very daunting, especially if you didn't take it in high school. But Dr. Augusta is such a great teacher with a real passion and understanding of the material.
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.
great prof and teaches well, but be prepared for tough tests that go above and beyond what you learnt in class. Tests a lot on theory, but barely even mentions that in class
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.
Carolyn is a great professor. I wish I could take more classes from her.
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.
Such a condescending professor. Come off your high horse.
A professor that really cares for her students, she records lectures and responds to emails very fast. I hope to have her again in the future. One of the best professors i've ever met.
Prof. Augusta is super good for an online class. She has a fair amount of reading to do for her modules, but the work is very straightforward.
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.
She could teach stats to a baby. Gives you all the resources you need to do well in the class
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.
this class is easy if you do the work, attend lectures and do the questions she provides
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.
Great prof online, very understanding and truly wants her students to succeed! Course work is straightforward as well, concepts are easy though her textbook!
She is awesome.
