Chelsey is a great professor. She's lovable, funny, relatable, and not condescending like many professors. She tells it like it is and is very clear about her expectations. The homework is graded fairly hard so use the TA help desk and work with others. It is very beneficial practice for the tests. No surprises on tests, but study everything well.
I too this class in summer. Everything is fast-paced but you still got a good chance to follow up on every step. Chelsey explains every thing super clear, which helps me to build connections and really understand the intuition of those stat methods. She is caring and very patient. Office-hour also helps a lot.
Uses PowerPoint and has students fill in blanks. Seems easy but it makes it really hard to go back and try to understand what happened without flipping through all the slides multiple times. Not very good at giving general tips on how to apply what's learned to new problems. Does lots of examples, but most are very similar to each other.
Her lectures are all fill in the blanks which require students to attend every lecture since Professor Greens does not post her lecture notes after classes. This made me spent extra time reviewing lecture notes since I could not get a complete note each time I go to lecture.
Lectures slides are useless and not enough example driven class. Unnecessarily hard.
The textbook is genuinely not good. complete lecture notes are not posted, you have to go to lecture and fill in the blanks. Not a fan of this class.
Fill in the blank Lectures, If you don't go to lecture you have useless notes. Does not give enough exam re view material (i.e., Practice exams, practice problems, etc.). Doesn't post HW solutions, so you don't have those to study either.
Chelsey is sincere with teaching, but she does not know that her lecture style is not the most effective at making sure her students understand the material. Additionally, Chelsey is not very transparent about how the class grade will be computed.
Chelsey is a hard teacher and the homework is relatively long (you cannot find it on Chegg). She is always available to help you through the homework even outside of office hours. Power lectures always make me zone out and if you zone out in this class you have blanks in the notes. ALWAYS PRINT OUT LECTURE NOTES.
Having AP stat in high school definitely made this class easier for me but the homework assignments can take an eternity simply because you need to do half the problems in R (A statistical programming language). Her quirky personality helped ease the pain of power lectures but her notes were all over the place at times. Hw helps with exams a lot.
Chelsey has a great personality but I still struggled in this class, even after having taken AP Stats. Homework is graded extremely strictly, exams are too long, and Im not a fan of the fill-in-the-blank slides. Grading criteria was vague, as we were told there would be a curve but were never told the cutoffs.
Concepts and formulas would be listed in PPT or outlines given, but they're vague. She'd try to explain every idea and how to use formulas but rarely clarify relationships between them, which could be confusing, given so many similar concepts in stats. The way lectures normally goes is that she reviews and introduces new things and endless examples
Overall great professor. She posts lecture slides with blanks, but recorded every lecture and posted on canvas (watch at x1.5 speed if you miss lecturetime saver!) Textbook isn't necessary. Quizzes are on canvas with multiple attempts. Homework and quizzes reflect exam content. She was also willing to meet outside of office hours to go over HW
Professor Green's class was pretty difficult, but you could tell she cared a lot and wanted students to succeed. The examples in lectures were helpful for the homework and she would hold review sessions before exams. Her curve of the class also made it easier to get a good grade, even if it felt like you were struggling throughout the semester
The learning experience is horrible for the summer time. Heavy workload but make sense for summer courses. She just go over examples without clarify any terminologies and concepts, taking it for granted that we know everything before watching the lecture videos. There are just so many examples with little explanation.
I love this professor! She is incredibly caring and willing to go over all material outside of class. What matters is that YOU take the initiative. Sometimes the homework feels tedious but it really hits home important concepts. Dont be discouraged by other comments- she has been one of my favorite professors at UW Madison!!
Green explained concepts in lectures with clear examples that made the work interesting. She also used the online format well, encouraging the use of the program R to solve/check problems. Beware, Green doesn't explain vocab in lecture, so that needs to be studied on the provided notesheet beforehand. Also, test problems can have confusing wording.
Professor Green is honestly so so so nice. Her lectures are really clear and she's always so helpful whether it be in Piazza or in her office hours. Stats 371 is a hard class, but she makes it a lot more bearable. I genuinely feel lucky to have her for stats during this entirely remote class.
Recorded lectures always went over the 2 and a half hour limit. Didn't really teach the material, just had you follow along to her doing the problems. Homework and exams were always a few questions with a ridiculous amount of parts to them. Homework and exam problems were always 10 times harder than the examples given in lecture and quizzes.
Stat 371 is a hard class but I'm happy to have had Professor Green. She was very helpful in office hours and on piazza with questions on homework and quizzes. She is also very receptive to student feedback and though the homework may seem long, it is very helpful in preparing you for exams. Exams can be difficult but were fairly straightforward.
A very very nice professor! It is hard to connect with professors during the pandemic but Chelsey makes herself extremely available on Piazza and through email. You can tell she cares about her students and wants everyone to succeed. The exams are also very reasonable and there is no reason anyone should struggle in this class.
Stopped watching lectures after the first few weeks and taught myself the whole course from a suggested online textbook. Lectures were just watching her work through practice problems. She did go more in depth and give better explanations in office hours.
The lectures were difficult to pay attention to and didn't always prepare you well for practicing the material. If you fall behind it will be very difficult to catch up and do well.
She just goes over practice problems in lecture without really explaining anything and uses complex formulas without explaining the significance of any of them. Unless you can type complex formulas and large amount of text, watch the recorded videos.
Professor Green is really good a throwing you a bunch of materials and examples, but you have to review the notes and rearrange them to make more sense chronologically. The lectures go pretty fast, but she is one of the friendliest professors so go in to talk to her to review. Super fair and reasonable about assignments.
Can be challenging if you have no background in stats or the R program. I went in for office hours just about every week to get through the homework. Exams weren't too bad if you know basic concepts. Green is a funny and quirky lecturer. She is super sweet and always willing to help you outside of class. Also so understanding about extensions.
Love Chelsey Green as a person but not as a lecturer- lectures are unorganized and hard to follow. She is super accessible outside of class and gives help and sometimes answers to anyone who is struggling. Exams are tough, minimal curve. Prior experience with statistics and R help a lot- get ready to be very confused if you are going in without any
Chelsey is one of the best profs I have had so far. If you like to handwrite notes, she does move fast through the notes, but she truly cares about her students and is very lenient with extensions. I was nervous coming in based on the reputation of 371, but the homework is straightforward and Chelsey made the class a lot easier than anticipated.
This class was extremely difficult, especially if you have no prior stats knowledge. It is very easy to fall behind. Professor Green's lecture style is disjointed. Although she explains topics in detail she does not do so in a manner that links them together in a way that makes sense for intro level stats students. I would not recommend.
Professor Green is a quirky and caring professor. Statistics is hard to understand, and she tried to make it more simple. I met with her outside of class to talk about my grades and she was nice and supportive.
there is a lot of homework each week but is probably necessary for a subject like statistics. You can tell she cares about her students and is very lenient with due dates. I found it easy to follow along in lecture but her notes/lecture style makes it difficult to take good notes to look back at
Prof. Green was really nice and helpful but her tests were outside applications that we never really learned to do in class. Learning R Studio takes a bit of time but she is willing to help. Use her office hours and she will walk you through HW. She's not the best lecturer so I'd advise watching outside videos on stats basics.
I feel like this class assumes students to have a small foundation of basic stats knowledge which can make it difficult. It is so important to note that this is NOT a math stats class. Overall, she was an amazing prof. and was so understanding and EXTREMELY flexible on deadlines and truly emphasizes that as a student you cant give 100% every time.
Absolutely my favorite professor so far. Super accommodating with homework assignments, will help you through weekly quizzes, and its easy to get an A in this class by just paying attention in lecture. All lectures are also posted online which is super helpful. 11/10 professor, take this class with her or don't take it at all
Professor Green truly cares about her students and makes accessing her outside of class easy. She offers a ton of office hours and will guide you step by step on all problems. Though RStudio is used, it is not difficult at all. She does all the coding for us and provides detailed notes. Exams are open note and very fair.
Chelsey Green was a good professor, very flexible deadlines, it was just the content that was difficult. Coming in with no coding knowledge, it was a bit hard to keep up at times. However, she is very understanding and easy to meet outside of class with.
Chelsey is an amazing, kind person. But this class was awful. Lectures aren't organized well/ are all practice problems that don't help you learn the material. The homework was a lot. I spent hours on it- but if you go to office hours, she will walk you through it. If you aren't great at math/have no stats background- this class is difficult.
Chelsey is amazing, very kind, and understanding. You can always ask for an extension on homework. Discussion wasn't very helpful other than the few quiz questions that were given. Each week there is one homework assignment with a homework check, to check your answers and one quiz per week that had three tries.
Professor Green is definitely my favorite professor that I've had. She's so kind and understanding and you can tell she genuinely cares about her students. Lectures were recorded, which was extremely helpful, and I thought the exams were fair.
They're a very nice and understanding person, but their lectures aren't useful at all for the class. The homework is nothing like the exams now that they have in-person portions. You can print out notes and bring them but none of the examples will be applicable to the problems on paper exams. They don't work out any problems on paper at all.
She is not a great lecturer, and it makes no sense that she uses ~26 page word documents as lecture notes that you are supposed to fill in when she is speaking. She should take a statistics class here for herself and see how ineffective her lecture style is. Easier class, would not recommend taking a course with her, however.
Lecture recordings are available and tests are open note
the note sheets are around 23 pages long each unit, which feels really messy, feels like lots of clutter, unorganized and hard to follow. she is nice though and responds to piazza posts pretty often.
Class format changed, exams are open note, but questions are ridiculously hard. She breezes by lectures and types her notes in Latex (trying to fill out a 24pg note packet in 1hr). Essentially created a two-day exam, where the 1st day is in-person, 2nd day online. Basically, picture your passive-aggressive high school math teacher as a professor.
Prof. Green is nice and responsive to emails/Piazza and allows extensions. Tests are challenging, but open note, and the class is manageable. Large note packets provided. Lecture videos are recorded, making it easy to keep up at your own pace. Disorganization is minor. Know where to look on the notes so you can answer test q's w/o wasting time.
Prof. Green is nice and responsive to emails/Piazza and allows extensions. However, tests are challenging to a degree where the exam being open note doesn't even help you. Large packets are unorganized as she will commonly change them up during lectures, by hitting enter 50 times and then type a latex equation. Notes given don't relate to the exam.
Probably the nicest and most accommodating instructor I've had. I found lectures a little hard to follow, especially as she types in LaTeX a lot of the time. The homework is difficult, but after doing it you know the concept pretty well. I find stats boring, but I think she taught the content well.
Chelsey is easily the nicest most caring professor I have had. She will give extensions if needed, is always on piazza answering questions, and overall you can tell she cares for her students wellbeing. But her lectures are boring and kinda confusing to follow and the exams are challenging given the vast amount of topics and conceptual questions.
She provides helpful and clear lecture notes, full of definitions and examples. Recordings are always there to help you, and she is very caring about her students and very willing to give extensions. Exams are fair and grading is clear. Just put in efforts into this class and you will succeed.
Chelsey was a very accommodating professor throughout the semester. My biggest caveat with her was the amount of work that needed to be put in for a three-credit class. Overall, I really enjoyed her teaching and was able to move at my own pace with the recordings that she created for every lecture.
Listen Chelsey was so kind & accomodating & all her lecture material was super available but I honestly can't say what I learned from her. I know it's hard to teach coding but this class felt like being told what to do & being expected to know everything. She's still really nice though so take her if youre ready to teach yourself everything ig
Highly recommend Chelsey! Her lectures were engaging and she is extremely friendly and really wants to help you learn the content.
Very kind and understanding. Enthusiastic about the content. Willing to help.
The contents of this class are generally boring, and that doesn't help her case, however she does all notes in LaTeX, which has a steep learning curve. While she seems to have a great family, and I would probably love to be her child, the amount of time she spends talking about her family is a bit excessive.
Overall, Chelsey was a solid professor. Very organized notes, and the homework problems generally followed in-class examples pretty closely. That being said, the homework sets took probably 5-6 hours at a time (VERY time consuming) but Chelsey was very accessible to answer questions during office hours and on Piazza. Good professor.
Lectures are boring but her notes are insanely helpful if you take key formulas and ideas because everything is on there. Homeworks take too long for a 3 credit class but they were very similar to examples from the notes packet. Tests can be hard as you need to know all the assumptions you must take for each exmples. Little bit of a learning curve.
Makes you suffer in useless LATEX with 15-20 page notes, test heavy and they super challenging. She was a definitely a nuisance and the class was crazy for first timers. she talks ab her kids and family but that takes 15 minutes in every start of lecture. every day and also that holy moly or other onomatopoeias that she make = extremely annoying
Very hard midterm. There was not relationship between test and quizz/hw. The language description was difficult to understand
The lecture notes were sometimes difficult to use when she keeps hitting enter on a word document (which I can't do on a pdf), but she was generally a fine professor. She explained the topics well enough for people to do fine on homeworks and exams, and I also really enjoyed getting updates about her family at the start of each lecture.
Chelsey Green is one of the best professors I've had. The material was complex, but she was wonderful to have as a lecturer.
Professor Green is nice but as a teacher she is pretty bad. Her lectures are very ineffective at teaching any material which is why nobody shows up to them. Exams are very difficult.
I would not recommend taking this class. It was very difficult. Professor is not good at teaching. Very tiresome class.
goodluck
Got a good grade but put in A LOT of work. Can't tell you what I learned from Chelsey though. Her lectures are very unorganized and makes easy topics complex. If I did not take a stats course before this, I would have easily failed.
Nothing to read, nothing to understand. no textbook, no powerpoint, even the note will not be provided. All the material should be organized by yourself, you need to handle everything if you take this course with Green. Terrible teaching!! Really difficult Tests. Awful.
I have never written a review on here before but I feel like I need to warn people to not take this class with Green. Unsure how she has any positive reviews on here?
Green likes pain.
This class is a disaster. Lectures? Gibberish. Exams? Impossible. Homeworks? Long and don't relate to tests. Quizzes? Does not show correct answers. Practice problems/study guide for tests? Nonexistent. Avoid!
Really nice teacher and will try her best to help you. Very understanding. Concepts are all simple algebra with some R code which was tedious. Lots of workload but if you do the homework and quizzes, the class is easy.
Professor Green is the BEST professor I ever had in 3 years at UW Madison. A professor that truly cares and respects students. Professor Green responded to my email even after 10 PM! If you explain what happened to you that caused you any trouble with the class. Professor Green will show extremely understanding and compassion!
I appreciate that Dr. Green seemed to actually like the class she taught, and was very animated/personable in lecture, her teaching style was really awful and made it very hard to learn. Dr. Green gives very little material to learn from and her lectures are just her going through some notes. She seems nice but I didn't learn a thing from her.
Chelsey is a great lecturer. I thought stats was one of those useless classes but, man was I wrong. It is applied everywhere. I personally found it most useful for research. She records the lectures which is nice, HW's are long but, extremely helpful for understanding content. I wouldn't recommend a book. Just do purple text examples she provides.
She is a tough grader, I gave my midterm yesterday and it was awful. I feel the class is very complex, try to take online course from somewhere else if possible. Otherwise, good luck 👍
Very heavy, didn't like it at all. Extremely tough midterms. AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS.
She's good but this class is very heavy. Took this class last semester and believe me it was TOUGHER than my chem courses.
midterms are very rough, would recommend taking any other class to fulfill a rec. Nice person but not a great teacher
This course was a refresh of concepts from AP stats in high school plus some more methods. Coding website R is used and is annoying. Exams are open notes and never anything surprising. Chelsey is the most accommodating and caring professor I've had. Very helpful during Office hours and goes out of her way to help students succeed.
As a person who has never taken AP Stats in high school, this class is rough. Homework due every week, and there is a weekly quiz that easily takes over an hour. Her notes can be confusing. For a class that isn't supposed to be too hard, it really can pile up on you especially with other courses. Midterms were hard, midterm 2 average of 69%!
I no longer look both ways when I cross the street because of what she has put me through. Nothing compares. everything about this class is a hot garbage mess. its like she ate all of the course content and violently barfed it out into homework and weekly quizzes and lectures.
Professor Green doesn't teach well enough to have the tests she gives that difficult. If you want to do well in this class it is entirely up to you to learn everything on your own for very difficult midterms and finals.
I took this professor because I enjoy failing my classes. I love destroying my mental health. Green single handedly got my parents divorced and made me drop out of college. I love taking my exams and finding out she put only wrong answers on them. If you enjoy being humiliated then take this class like I did.
I cant believe I had to pay to subject myself to her torture of a class. I did only fans for the whole summer to afford this and now I will be dropping the class today to retake it. Now I have to do more only fans to pay for the class again all because of her. This class is easily the second hardest thing ive ever done.
run ʖ
The weekly homework, canvas quiz, auto grade quiz and, exams too hard considering her inability to teach these concepts. EVERY part of her class is just THE WORST. it's like getting kicked in the balls every single day over and over. its like not even that hard but she just makes it all as miserable as possible.
she seems like a nice person so i feel bad sounding almost mean, but...my friends have convinced me to finally just say it: no one should be allowed to get away with making other people feel the way that chelsey makes them feel. im quite introverted and quiet but her total lazy mess of a class has turned me into an angry person every single day
You guys are kind of dramatic. This class is not easy but she totally gives you the tools, coming from someone who failed midterm two. Tests are completely open note (not sure if it was like that in the past), but they are HARD. Thats why you gotta go into them with good assignment grades and youre fine. Shes also really nice and will sit down w u
She is just a really bad teacher and the class is organized so weirdly?
This is the worst. it's worser than the worst actually. She has made me emotionally numb, I should be crying every single day but I cant even do that because there nothing left of me. its like my wings have been stripped. she turned me from a soaring hawk, tuah falling rock. I have to talk tuah therapist every day because i have no mental health.
All of these troll reviews are basically right. I have been putting in a crazy amount of work just to be met with impossible questions with too little time. Also I didn't learn anything from her at all.
Weekly homework assignments unnecessarily long and complicated. Lectures were oftentimes unclear. Exams are somewhere in between "pretty hard" and "very hard" -- but you do get unlimited paper notes. She seemed like a pretty nice person though
shes like the epitome of putting so little effort into everything she does and then making the consequences of that everyone elses problem. like she will vastly inconvenience 300 people just to avoid 5 minutes of work for herself. its unbelievable.
look at these "good reviews" they have to be fake no one speaks like that. would recommend a browse through the reviews before attempting this class.
If you are considering taking this class and you love yourself in any capacity, then don't. Just don't
Her exams are filled with trick questions and things meant to catch you off guard, or introduce unnecessary complexity. If we had a 2 hour exam slot it would be totally fair but you have to race through the exam as fast as possible to finish within 75 mins and this causes those things to be overlooked.
I think these reviews are being a little dramatic ngl- sure the class is pretty hard, but Chelsey's genuinely the sweetest person ever, and I think she's pretty fair in terms of the homeworks and the tests. She'll answer your questions after class or during office hours thoughtfully, which can be super helpful.
i hate myself for not checking this site before I took this class. Horrible at teaching, no study guides, piazza questions take 3-5 days to answer and some just don't ever get answered. ruining my grade in all my other classes by the amount of work I have to put in to not just completely fail this class
I saw a couple of people ask on piazza if she could post blank copies of the first 2 exams so we could study from it. she ignored both people and answered everyone else. She simply just doesnt want to go through the trouble of posting empty copies so she ignored it. so lazy. this single moment just sums up all of my frustrations with her.
I love taking my final exam and there being a question with a big fat typo that makes all of the answer choices incorrect. I love when she uses word salad in the problem statements with like 4 double negatives and a run on sentence instead of just saying "Which gives the most evidence to reject the null". I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE
class is a mess take the 240 340 combo by any means instead...
The final exam was the only exam that felt fair purely because there was enough time to go back and correct mistakes. She writes all of her questions in the most confusing way possible i swear it has to be on purpose. I have to like mentally brace myself every time I move on to the next question.
so bad lol. no textbook at all so notes and lectures are the only info you have. exams are impossible and NO ONE finishes in time. repeats the same basic info 100x but fails to even mention twice content that will cover half of the exams. seems very nice but not a good professor.
bad at teaching. not enough time on midterm exams. I ended with a high A but only because I took AP Stats so the entire class was review. I cant even imagine trying to finish her exams in the time given if this was my first time taking the class. So annoying when professors do that like just make the exam time longer jfc???
Yall need to chill about my glorious queen Chelsey Green. She is super nice and she always starts lecture by giving us a nice debrief of her weekend and what her family is up to. If you go over the notes and ask questions before each homework/quiz and really try to understand everything, you will do well. Everything you need is in the notes/HW/quiz
I thought Chelsey's class was difficult, but if you put in the time for exams and worked with other people they weren't too bad. The homework was annoyingly long and definitely took a lot of time, but she is very generous with extensions if you have other things going on. Her lectures were all posted online so its nice to just watch them at 2x.
I don't know why people are rating her so low. She is literally the best professor I've ever had. Her lectures are straightforward and interesting. The tests are easy and open note. Discussions aren't even required. She is amazing.
She was a decent teacher, the class was reasonably hard for me mostly because I expected it to be easy and didn't lock in until the end. The second midterm was super hard but the other tests were ok. Chelsey is a good enough professor but you will need to spend some time on the homeworks to make sure you fully understand them for the test.
She is a very sweet professor, and she cares about the success of her students. She provides a lot of resources if you don't understand the material, and she grants extensions for all homework as long as you ask. I don't know why the other reviews are bad, she is very sweet and good and teaching the material.
Chelsey Green was a caring professor and wants her students to succeed, however, this was not actually what occurs. We had discussed topics at length but many of the concepts do not seem to be explained in a way that made sense to the class. I don't know of a single student in the class that was able to do the homework on their own.
She's a sweet and seems to genuinely love her job, but she screws you over in the exams. The content is fairly easy in lecture, but its presented in such a difficult way on the exams, which are also just way too long for the given time. I've never had a class where every single person stays until time is up except for this one. Wouldn't recommend.
Chelsey is a decent lecturer and very kind, but I would avoid taking her class if you have no prior stats experience. She fails to explain root topics and flies pretty quickly through examples. However, she is very helpful and quick to respond through Piazza. Exams are much harder than the weekly homework, though not impossible.
