HORRIBLE teaching methods, spends half the class time trying to figure out what to say and pronounce, Does not go over problems. AVOID taking, unless you have a really good math background.
tries to be nice and helpful but she's not that helpful!!!she confuses herself and spends more time trying to pronounce correctly rather than actually teaching math. she skips sections, few examples so unless you are good in math and enjoy teaching yourself AVOID HER CLASS!!however she is available during her office hours even though not much help!
First of all, I got an A in her class. However, in a 4 week accelerated class, it was in no way easy. Disorganized, you teach yourself the entire class, and she is rude. Promised to give back the exams in order to review for the final and then took it back on the last day. Her final covered things she didn't. Positive:Avail. office hours. Beware.
She is an amazing teacher! She has a bit of an accent, but it doesnt really get in the way. She gives out reviews that mirror the tests, she drops lowest test grade, gives extra credit, reflexable office hours, and she is super nice. She actually cares that the students are learning.
The test is nothing about your homework , in the classshe teach you easy example ,the test is really hot
She is super sweet.Excellent professor that love teacher.She is teaching like 19 years. She is teaching in the wolfson campus.I am extremely recommend her if you want to learn Math and get good grade.
GREAT woman! she was very funny and fun to learn from if i had to take any more math i would pray for her to be my prof.. ONE thing DO YOUR HOMEWORK it will help you for your test
Best stats teacher in miami dade college. She knows how to make it easy to learn effectively.
i took her class last summer in 6 week and it was super easy maybe cuz is summer and we have least time to learn.SHE give us extra credit 4 test and 1 take home plus the homework tat is not hard and is 20 % of ur grade
the people that say that she is hard is because they never h study before in their life.But is you are smart and do al the homowork you will get an A.Also remember that to take Stat you only need math1033 which is not college level.that is why some people say that she is hard because they dont know math basics. take her belive me.
When the class started, I thought that it was gonna be a long semester and it was. But all in all she teaches the material very well. And a very nice lady too. Just make sure you do the homework, bc it will help boost your final grade.
Definitely one of the best teachers I have taken. Goes over the material really well. Her class is a guaranteed A if you just show up to class, take notes, and really pay attention to her examples. Super friendly and she is willing to explain anything you have troubles with. Homework is easy and helps bring up final grade. 10/10 would recommend.
This a difficult course but students who fail are lazy. She offers PTLT, tutoring, classroom time and the online content is great. Stats are hard but assistance is available.
DO NOT TAKE HER! I am a student that has made on the Dean's list every semester since I started college but I failed this class. This professor cannot teach. She makes lessons more complicated then they actually are and has no mercy for her students. I dedicated my blood, sweat and tears to that class but she just threw me under the bus.
Just do not even bother with this woman. That is all i have to say.
Dr. Diaz is wonderful -- available for office hours, crystal clear explanations, and infinite patience for her students. She works hard to get exams back to students in a timely manner, and her passion and experience for the subject matter is obvious. If you're willing to do the work, she is extremely fair, & you will do well.
She's a great Professor. Don't listen to the comments saying that she is horrible because that is NOT true. She's funny, well organized and makes the class fun. If you expect to do good you must study and take advantage of all of the resources available which led me to getting an 'A'. I'd take her again in a heartbeat. She's a great person.
People are saying she's super easy as if this is a easy A elective class, thats definitely not the case. This is one of those classes where you can be completely lost in class but doing the homework and looking at youtube videos would help you. Shes not terrible but this is no easy A.
BEST STATS PROFESSOR. No other way to put it, her explanations are crystal clear, and the reviews she sends are exactly the same as the test. Easy A
Great teacher who provides all the necessary information and handouts. Take the time each day to study and learn the material and everything will be OK.
This Prof. is super nice and you will definitely get the help you need as long as you put effort to learn. stats is hard just study and you are good to go.
Great teacher who provides the necessary information and handouts. Take the time each day to study and learn the material and everything will be OK.
Not an easy class by any means. Have to be focused and unintimidated by formulas. She does not want you to fail so she is clear and has very open office hours. All the material is basically handed to you on a silver platter. With her worksheets and statlab should be fine. She lets you use formulas for tests. Know your way around a calculator for A+
She makes easy problems seem like nightmares.
Her explanations of the material is not up to par. if you have difficulty in math, do NOT take her. The concept of the class is fairly easy, but she does all the extra lecturing that is unnecessary, which makes the material more confusing, And she has a thick accent.
She is an amazing teacher. She definitely knows what she is talking about. She also does show the passion she has for stats. She gets each lesson across and gives multiple examples of how it can be used in everyday life. She is very lighthearted and humorous which made the hours go by a lot easier. (Summer A hours) I would recommend her.
Amazing professor. Although she has a slight accent, her lectures are very clear and extremely detailed. She goes step by step with many problems--similar to test questions and gives handouts. Of course, do not expect this to be an easy class and pass without studying. If you take your time reading the textbook and doing problems you will get an A.
I found the class to be very easy, however I did notice a lot of the students were having a difficult time keeping up, so it really depends on your capability and willingness. She is a wonderful teacher and is there for you, as she will state throughout the semester. I really recommend actually going to class or else you'll fall behind.
Everyone told me it was going to be difficult. I got an A, BUT I worked hard for it! The professor is great, very clear and she knows her stuff! Studying and understanding the material is up to you! If you slack, it's going to reflect on your grade. She's there if you need her so ask away! The homeworks help! Definitely recommend this professor.
She's a great professor! Statistics can be a boring subject for most of us, but she's very clear & helpful in class beyond measure. Buy the online code ASAP: it will save you money, prepare you for class and exams, and give you extra credit you will need. This is a college level class, so do your part, and you will earn an A. Office hours are a +.
Got a strong accent and you have to listen carefully. If you're not good in math ,do not take her! You won't understand a thing!Attendance is taken after class. No review,no extra credit. No due dates for the online homeworks until the end of semester.
I took this class in 6 weeks. She is very clear and my favorite teacher so far. A lot of online homework that you have to complete during the semester. She gives good feedback. A lot of quizzes and extra credit. THE SECRET? Do your homework, solve the problems she gives, and PAY ATTENTION. That will make you pass the quizzes. Do not skip class!
This was very difficult and required a couple of all nighters practicing formulas but she really prepared me for the stats 2 I'm taking now at FIU.
worst of the worst . she doesn't care wether her students are understanding or not . her accent is so bad makes it more difficult to understand . doesn't encourage you to learn at all . her timing is never accurate , make you stressing . dont take that professor if you care about passing without struggle for not receiving the appropriate explanati
The homework isn't a long format. Read your book and do your homework, get familiar with your material and the formulas, try to understand why people use those formulas and theories for, then you will do very well and also the subject helps you to know life better. Very helpful professor, she will be there to help you during her office hours
don't take, you'll fail. she doesn't care if her students are getting it or not. she'll drop u i you're absent a lot. all good reviews on here were most likely written by her. she offers no extra credit, only grades are 4 hard tests and final. her accent is too thick and i'm hispanic myself.
People rating this womans teaching are LAZY/text all through class and do not take notes. Her lectures are crystal clear and goes over things until people get it. Her exams are even more clear, just do the homework for practice. All exam questions are almost identical to her examples in class. Wish I can take her to FIU with me when I transfer!!!
Anyone who tries can certainly pass her class! She's very clear and fair - gives lots of examples for practice in class. Test questions are on the easier end of what you learn in class. If you aren't getting it, you should go to office hours and ask for extra help as she repeatedly offers! It's not hard to stay on top of this class (or get an A!)
The subject it's self is hard , but she cares ALOT if people understand. She reminds people she has office hours if they are still having a difficult time with the chapter. You HAVE to pay attention to class and do the homework to pass.
i've never failed any class until i took her. yes you have to buy access code. 4 tests. no extra credit. if you ask her for help in class she gets annoyed. she drops students who are absent too often. she speaks too fast like lady annunciate so we can actually understand you and pass your difficult tests
Some of her Extra Credit goes by participation even thot, she only grades tests and the final, oh and the Homework which is online. No midterm. Very important: know your way around the calculator. She actually gives two options to solving problems, calculator or by hand. Print out the Tables
Amazing Stats professor. Very passionate about what she does and how we apply it to real life scenarios. Took her STA2023 class in summer term A in 6 weeks, and won't lie it was very time consuming. Skip? Won't pass. Try and wing a test without studying? WON'T PASS. The subject is not entirely difficult but not on the easy spectrum. Would recommend
Homework is due in Lab, tests are tough and usually containing multiple choice and a few questions requiring you to write down. Professor usually writes down the formula but does not list them by name. She is really passionate about her work. 4 exams, worst gets dropped, Final exam is taken it you need it. Recommend looking somewhere else.
I took Statistics online with this professor and she was the best. She does everything possible to make herself available to her students and is SUPER helpful. The course is really not that hard especially if you are comfortable w/ math. Hardest part was teaching yourself since class was online but again teacher was awesome. Would take her again!
HORRIBLE! I will not be taking this professor again, I still can't believe how shes even teaching when there are so many complains based on her academic teaching. For starters she tends to teach all over the place, what makes it worse is her wrong use of words and accent
Her class lectures are very organized. She knows the subject very well. She explains everything in steps and writes notes on the board that you need to copy. She explains how Statistics pertains to the real world. It might seem easy in the first few chapters, but trust me it gets more complicated. You will need to study a lot at home to pass.
I was very scared at the beginning of the course because of the bad comments I read here and because I'm not good with numbers, but I'm finishing the class with an A. The material is hard, but if you don't skip class, do the homework and pay attention you will pass. She is a good professor, she cares about the students and she does her best.
Class is challenging if youre taking it in six weeks because of the loads of information and an exam every week. Class should be a lot easier for a full term. Just pay attention do the practice handout and homework they are similar to the exam and you should be fine. Sometimes gets lost herself but does try to give out extra credit to help.
She is amazing and has accommodated me well considering my disability. If you failed her class then you were not trying considering how she gives students many opportunities to get a better grade.
This professor is a nice lady, and goes over subjects thoroughly and even reviews them before a test.
Shes a nice person, however her teaching isnt it, shell have you lost, isnt specific , teaches without structure, gets upset if you arent getting it, never failed a math class at mdc until her. definitely will be taking this class over with someone I can understand and im hispanic myself.
A heavy subject, she does her part. You will need to do your part. Statistics is part of Math so be ready to practice a lot if you need an A. She is very helpful outside class
to start off, she rushes through her lectures and gets upset at the class if you have no idea what is going on. she says we can visit her office hours for additional help or any concerns however her office hours are more like office minutes (ex: 11:45 am - 12:15 pm then she got to go to her other class). extra credit is only for those she picks.
To keep it real with yall, if you are looking for an easy grade, do not take her. She rushes through her lectures and goes over the material very quickly and soon as she's done, she will ask the class if they understand as if there was any chances of trying to. She sometimes confused her own self. Plus she has an accent so it's hard to understand
She doesn't give reviews for midterm/finals. If you have her for a full term there will be a project!! That project was kinda hard. If you talk to her about project during office hours you'll think youre doing good but once you present it she will ask hard questions & make you rethink your grade in class. Other than that her lectures are very clear
Shes always late when it come to grading I didnt know I was failing the class. No extra credit and she have this big group project at the end of semester base on what you learned in class.
I cant understand her ENGLISH She is EXTREMELY CONFUSING You will basically study on your own
HORRIBLEEEEE! I took her online, and since there was a problem with ProctorU because of high demand due to the virus I didn't have enough time to study for the exam and I was rushed to take it right away. I emailed her about it and she was rude. Takes forever to even email back..
Very bad at teaching! Dont take her, you wont understand anything, take her at your own risk!
She is great, I understood all of the topics and knew I could get extra help when I needed it. The homework is done online with Pearson and if you haven't used that before you'll see it is super helpful. Quizzes and tests are short and straightforward too. And if you take the 6 week course she gives breaks during lecture bc class is over 3 hours.
I took this professor during the pandemic It was a mini semester. This professor is super understanding and is clear with her lectures. She is a little big on Participation, she wants her students to be involved. She knows the subject very well. Im honestly not that good in Math but I took her and passed, she is super awesome. Take her.
When I took this class after two weeks the pandemic COVID-19 started, and she conducted the rest of semester online. She did a great job always answering the questions very quickly. It is true, you need to do a lot of homework, but if you do it since the beginning you'll finish on time. Also, she explains everything in detail.
She is the worst she doesn't show up to class. She does not post homework when the homework is due she is the worse do not take her you will regret
Professor makes the course incredibly difficult to learn in. When you ask questions, she responds with "I already went over that" or "If you were here"(which I was.) Not helpful at all, rarely responds to emails and if she does it's in a very rude, sarcastic tone. Also seems to favor male students over female students but thats just my observation.
I had her for an online stat class in the middle of the covid pandemic. She was unhelpful, unprofessional, and unkind. She always said to be available but if you made an appt for office hours she would brush you off during the meeting. When asked for extra credits and for any help during the term, the was disrespectful and uncaring. Don't take her.
SHE IS LITERALLY THE WORST PERSON EVER! RUDE, HEARTLESS, AND UNPROFESSIONAL! I REGRET TAKING HER CLASS AND I SHOULD'VE DROPPED HER CLASS WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE. SAVE YOURSELF FROM TAKING THIS LADY!
If I had the chance to switch professors, I would have taken it in a heartbeat. Her teaching style is rushed and difficult to follow. Extra studying is always recommended but get ready to teach yourself. Participation matters gravely during her lectures, so ask the "right" questions. Don't take it personally.
POOR teaching. Unfair. NO communication skills. She graded student 0/100 several times for being late into the virtual classroom (due to work) whereas she was late because she had to pick up her son at school on the 2nd day of class. Then she dropped a (good) student. MDC covid19 rules are that they CANNOT force someone to attend even online.
This class was by far the worst class I have taken in the 2 years I have been at MDC. She is so unkind. Very unfair, only cares about herself. I took this class virtually due to the pandemic and she was not sympathetic at all. Does not know how to teach or reach a hand of help to her students. She goes on and on about her office hours but does not
no reviews, only tests and homework. really rude. tests are heavily proctored and monitored through video.
Horrible professor and very rude. Only cares about herself. Avoid her class. Not accessible and the material is very difficult.
This professor is arrogant, prideful, condescending to her students and a horrible teacher. She will kick students out of class simply because we don't answer the questions, basically calls us dumb in class. Exams are hard just because of the content but if you fail she will make you feel bad. just a bad bad teacher please take someone else.
Professor Diaz-Consul never let me or the other students use the material needed to take any tests, especially the final exam which I was not able to take because it was not on Blackboard. So I sent her a course message she did not respond to.
Honestly, Professor Diaz-Consul does not give any of her students time to think about and solve any challenging math problems because math is meant to be done slowly to get the correct answer and calculations. She also kicks some of her students out of her virtual classroom when they do not know the answer to any math problem.
She's awesome, her exams are easy if you do the hw before the quiz. Also, she gives extra credit.
This professor is awful. She not consistent in her words.
I have always had difficulty with math and Professor Diaz-Cozul made our lectures very easy to understand & was always available outside of class for questions or concerns I had about a lesson or quiz
A really kind professor. Every class she lectures and she answers our questions. There are only two tests: the midterm and final. HW is online. Multiple Extra Credit Opportunities. Group project at the end of the semester which is fairly easy. Overall an awesome class.
As long as you come to class, study for test, and do your homework, then her class is easy.
The class, homework, and chapter test aren't the problem. They are actually do-able. The thing that throws everything off is the MID-Term (25% of total grade) and Final (30% of total grade). If you don't take the midterm you have to pass the final 100/100.
Whether you pass or fail depends on the midterm and final. The midterm is 25% of your grade, and the final is 30% of your grade. There are other tests that are 25% of your grade. I wouldn't recommend this class. There is no extra credit, and the homework and discussions barely help your grade. It all depends on the midterm and final.
This class raises my blood pressure. Why is it that 99% of the assignments barely help your grade? There's so much homework that's only worth 10%. There's a final and a midterm that basically make up your whole grade. I don't think its fair to have 2 tests weigh so much of our grade when there so many other assignments that we do that barely help.
You do bad on the midterm and final, and you fail the class. Even if you pass everything else, I will never recommend this professor to anyone.
This Professor is okay. Tests are really difficult and don't really reflect the practice work of homework's. She does do practice work during class, but it is sometimes not really easy to understand. Goes over chapters quickly so test take a lot of at home preparation and there is not much extra credit to boost grade.
Difficult course did not respond much and did not really care much about students. Test are proctored and had nothing to do with why the homework was.
If you want to learn, avoid her. If you want to pass, avoid her. Either way, avoid her. she is by far the worst professor ive ever taken before. her lectures are horrible and difficul to understand. The tests are heavy and very very different from the homework
This was an online class. You must be motivated and a good-self starter. The professor answered all my emails in a timely manner. I had trouble with the proctoring platform for testing and she assisted me in order to facilitate taking the exam. She helped me every time I needed her help. Highly recommend her, Ms. Celeste Diaz-Consul!
I have a Bachelors degree and was an educator myself.I know the type of professor Ms. Diaz Celeste isshe's put her teaching career on coast and is riding out her time by putting the minimal amount of effort possible until retirement. I'm not sure why MDC keeps professors like these around it only gives them a bad reputation and keeps tuition high.
Great professor for my final MDC class! Her lessons were easy as long as notes were taken.
If you need accommodations don't take her class. She does not read her emails and expects you to drop everything to take a test at random times because she does not read her emails. She is a horrible teacher. I learned more from YouTube than I ever learned from her.
IF you want to learn dont take her. If you want to pass dont take her. She isn't a bad professor but she assumes you know the information before class. She uses terminology without her students knowing it. Very tough grader. A lot of exams. Prepare to study if you want a good grade. Her tests are very vague and she tricks you on the wording.
Professor Diaz-Consul is a nice person & typically knows what she's talking about, however, the class is so fast paced and her exams are difficult. You need to study a lot and pay attention to everything she says if you want to pass her exams. Lots of homework & attendance is graded. 2 extra credit opportunities. She'll help you in her office hours
She was an amazing teacher, if you pay attention. What she teaches you is what is on the test. If you don't understand the lesson, she is more than willing to help you after class in her office. She didn't give much homework, about 2-3 assignments per chapter. I would love to take another class of hers.
This class requires a lot of independent work. Utilize unstuck ai and other study tools to stay on top of the challenging exams - they make up most of the grade. Despite the difficulty, the professor is responsive and helpful when you need support.
she's really nice and understanding, and she doesn't make the exams too difficult.
Don't take this class. The class was very confusing because she expected for us to know the material already. her exams were hard and it seemed she would change up words to confuse you. She claims to be in office to help but I emailed and talked to her in class to meet and she never appeared. Youtube was my best friend during this time.
She was a good professor and knew what she was talking about however I don't recommend her class if you need to pass. Her tests are every few weeks and the course is very fast-paced a lot of learning on your own. She doesn't reply to emails and arrives late to class. Her final review was her worst lecture she spent an hour on one chapter.
I'm currently taking her class and was shocked by how unfair many reviews are. She's a great professor who really knows the subject and explains clearly. Grading is simple and transparent, exams are easy if you study, and she offers extra credit on every exam plus the chance to replace your lowest test score. Just study, and you'll be good, trust.
Would choose hell over taking her classes! This class just makes life so hard for no Reason!! Her exam was on Paper, If you want an A or B, please don't take her class!! and the way she teaches is not that organised!!
dont do it if u want an easy A
The people that are giving her bad reviews are just bad students lol. She is very eloquent, knows the subject thoroughly, and answers all questions. If you care about passing, she will help you pass. That being said, you really have to pay attention and study. This is not an easy A, it is a real math class with paper tests. But you will learn.
very nice professor, very knowledgeable in this subject, very caring and understanding. If you don't get something she'll take her time to explain it to you and if you put the bare minimum effort its an easy A.
