Probably the best professor I've had so far. Really good if you don't understand the subject as she goes over everything in detail. If you print out the lecture notes, go to class, and pay attention, you'll get an easy A.
Claudia was my favourite prof this term. She is the most dedicated prof I've ever had, marks things super fast, explains EVERYTHING thoroughly, and never jumps from A to D in her calculations. She is extremely considerate and her students are her first priority. I changed my whole schedule next semester to make sure I'm in her class for STAT217.
Great teacher. Is very clear and gives multiple examples in class which allow you to well on the midterm and assignments.
I really appreciate the effort Prof. Mahler puts in. You can reach her at any hour by email with any question, she puts in a tremendous amount of work for her students.. Her lectures were fantastic, she is very much a students professor. Anyone who isn't necessarily good at math, choose this course - you'll do great. It is stats, so do put time in.
Claudia Mahler was the best prof I've had at U of C so far. Her notes are great the only thing that might need some change is for them not to be so focused on Minitab since you wont be able to use it on the final. Other than that she was amazing and really caring and helpful and always did her best to help her students. 100% would recommend her!
Claudia is so sweet with detailed notes. Attendance is mandatory to fill in half-filled in notes, but she explains concepts very well. Midterms are SOO easy since she makes them herself, but Stallard's final and the lab quizzes were brutal. Mostly goes over minitab examples, so aren't well prepared for the final. But is very helpful in office hrs.
One of the best profs I have experienced so far. Her notes are really well written organized. Her lectures are a little bit slower but that's because she makes sure everyone understands the material. Her midterms were a lot easier than the final so make sure to practice other material.
She is the best STAT prof ever! She has amazing notes and always make sure you know how to do problems by hand and in Minitab. The course is hard but you don't feel as lost in her class.
Her notes are great and she is very helpful if you ask her questions in office hours. She posts all her lecture notes online. She teaches very slowly and we had to rush through a few things. She did not prepare us for the level of difficulty that the final was.
Why are you even reading reviews on her? HURRY. Just register in her class before it's too late. She is literally the best professor to take this class with. She is an amazing professor, an easy marker, and makes her midterms extremely easy. This is still a pretty hard course in which you need to grind to get over 50% on the final just to pass.
Great professor. Cares about students and their success. If you are quick to pick up math concepts you might find lectures boring, but that just means there isn't a ton of information to know. Very good a taking the time to explain things when people don't understand. She's the most fair marker I've seen in two years of university.
Great lectures. Best prof at uofc. She has great notes and has many available resources to achieve success
Why are you even reading this ! RUN and sign up for her class before it is full. Claudia is unreal. Super fair marker. Super knowledgeable about the subject. She is fairly young so she knows what it's like to be a student and goes above and beyond to help. Hosts lots of office hours and will literally meet you whenever to work on a concern.
Claudia is the best teacher I've ever had she flipped my semester around with her teaching style, she is much better than any other statistics profs so if your don't have her just attend her lectures anyway or go to her office hours!!!!!!!!!
Claudia is the best prof Ive had, i have friends who attended her lectures instead of their own profs, she has amazing notes and is really good at explaining the content of the course!
I LOVE HER! GET HER IF YOU CAN!
the GOAT for stats. Her notes are amazing and straight forward. Puts in a lot of effort in preparing you for material. Puts together tons of content to prepare you for final and midterms. First half is a bit tough. Not having minitab kinda blows. Has lots of opportunities to come in for help. All around best prof, I've ever had. Claudia > Robison
Her lecture notes are amazing! Although she likes to go far and beyond when explaining things which can get very boring, made the end of the semester a real grind to go to her class - I felt that it was unnecessary for me to go usually. She also didn't explain some things that were in the HW. Apparently the best STATS teacher though.
If you have the chance to take STAT 213 with her, do it. Amazingly detailed lecture notes and takes the time to go through examples similar to the ones you will see on the weekly quizzes. Her office hours are accessible, and she is great about answering emails with any questions you might have (even late at night!).
Dr. Mahler concisely and effectively delivers every bit of info you would need in the most simple manner, allowing you to learn the material without confusing yourself, and optimizing your ability to succeed. Sends a plethora of emails that are incredibly helpful regardless of the amount. If you are someone taking STAT213, this is the choice.
Excellent professor all around! She excelled at breaking down complex concepts and delivering them in a simplistic and relatable manner. Her lecture notes are worth 100 times their weight in Gold but, you will have to show up to class to take them down. Textbook would be useless if not for the Minitab key-card that comes with it.
She is an amazing professor that cares for the students. 100% recommend you take her class
Amazing prof! Her notes are so clear and easy to understand. She explains how to do everything both with and without minitab. She is always willing to help with the assignments or any other questions you may have. Definitely recommend her.
I had Claudia for 213 & 217, she is definitely the BEST prof Ive ever had. You can tell she is very passionate about what she does and cares a lot about her students. She goes beyond on giving extra office hours and her notes are clear and easy to follow. She has weird sleeping schedule so u can email her at anytime and she would probably respond.
Claudia is AMAZING! Takes stats with her whenever you can. She posts completed notes so you can focus on and understand what she is teaching and not worry about having to frantically write down all the equations. Goes above and beyond for office hours, sometimes hosting them on weekends and adding extra hours before big tests.
So much respect and appreciation for Claudia. She is just awesome. Her notes are thorough and her lectures are clear. I have literally nothing to criticize about her as a professor, just amazing. If you can take her, do it! She posts her notes on D2L so if you miss a class (or many) you can easily make it up
Claudia is great. You can tell she really wants her students to succeed and she takes the time to go through all of the notes thoroughly and makes sure to ask if anybody has questions before she moves on. It was apparently her first time teaching this course and I think she did an excellent job.
Best prof ever, I had Scotty Baldy for STAT 213 in the Fall 2017 semester, couple of peers who had Claudia for 213 told me to take her for 217, i listened and we all enrolled and her notes are so clear, she actaully posts filled in notes online and really takes the effort to make sure we succeed. Nothing but pure respect for Claudia.
She goes above and beyond! Goes through concepts super clearly in lots of detail. Has extra office hours and is more than willing to help! THE BEST!!!
Everything about the class was good.
Dr. Mahler is easily one of the most phenomenal professors at the U of C. She makes her notes so incredibly simple yet covers all the material well. The notes are so easy to follow, and she clearly knows exactly what she is talking about. To everyone taking Stats, do yourself a favour and enroll in her class.
Claudia was a great prof! Her understanding of the material being taught was clear and her explications made complete sense and if not she was willing to explain it to you in a different way. She was very accessible to students often holding office hours on weekends before assignments were due. I would definitely take another class with Claudia!
An absolute gem. I took STAT213 with Vasudevan and had to drop. With Mahler I learned things I didn't know the first time. Her notes are incredible and you NEED to print them for the full experience. Took this in spring and it was super easy with her. I actually like stats now. She's a glowing human and makes a tough subject enjoyable and easy.
Claudia is an actual blessing to the statistics department. You are guaranteed success in the course if you put in the work and take it with her. She is clear, kind, accessible, and fair, and actually cares about her students and the material, unlike many other profs in the department. She made me love statistics! 110% recommend.
Claudia is amazing!!! I was worried about taking stats but she is such a caring, patient, available and awesome prof that she made me feel comfortable. I have to take stat 217 and there's no way I'm taking it with anyone else! She is a gem and I recommend all people who aren't "math" people to take her class!!
Claudia was extremely organized, engaging, and articulate. Her organization alone made the course immensely more straightforward which allowed Students to really succeed in STATS 217.
Claudia is the best professors ever! I cant recommend her enough. To succeed focus on the additional practice problems, and lecture notes. Assignments work in groups to use up trials, and make friends in your tutorial so they can help you as well. Overall, Claudia is the kindest in office hours so go to her for extra help. DONT CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE.
Honestly, Claudia is such a gem! She is so kind and her notes are wonderful! All the assignments and midterms are an easy A ìf you study off of them and off the additional problems. She explains concepts in a concise manner, and truly cares about your success. She's also super flexible, and will extend due dates! Loved stats thanks to her!!
Amazing professor. Her lectures were a bit boring because she goes in depth with the notes but the notes itself are amazing. The practise questions she posts are extremely helpful as well since they are very similar to the midterm questions.
She goes extremely in depth for every concept and goes through lots of examples so it is very easy to keep up and learn the material. She was an amazing prof and made stats simple and almost fun. Would highly highly recommend her for any stats class. She also grades very fast which I appreciate.
Really good stats prof for non stats majors b/c she gives great notes so you dont need to buy a textbook. No need to go to class b/c she posts notes after each chapter tho it does help to go so you see the examples step by step. Exams are straight forward, study her notes and do ALL practice qs. I managed to get an A without too much difficulty!
Claudia is very organized and helpful. She goes through the math parts very thoroughly. Doesn't waste anytime. She makes booklets for each chapter so you don't have to write a lot. Extremely helpful during office hours. Didn't need to use the textbook.
She's great! She goes through every concept thoroughly in lectures, dont get the textbook since her notes that she provides have all the content you need. She sends quite a bit of emails but it's helpful since it helps inform you and keep you on track!
Mahler is a real gem.
She is an amazing prof. She answers your emails super quick and covers course material thoroughly in class. there is no need to get the textbook cause she teaches everything in class.
She is definitely not teaching an easy class but the way she teaches makes it easier to understand for all students learning needs. She gives visual examples which made it easier for me to understand the material as I am a visual learner. She always replied to emails quick and explained her answer well. Truly a caring teacher.
Made STAT very easy to understand!! 11/10 would recommend. She is very passionate about the class and I had a great time with her
Shes a great prof. The notes she gave were super in depth and she let us use R on the exams. She also gave us a study guide before each midterm and cheat sheet for the final and always helped when I emailed her.
Claudia is single-handedly the best professor I have ever had, I went from a C- in STAT 213 to an A- in her STAT 217 class. She is a gem who puts so much effort into her lectures and her notes. The exams are very fair, she prepares you well with extra problems and practice material. 10/10!!
Mahler is in my opinion the best stats prof at U of C. She explains the content really well and makes sure everyone understands the material. She is good at helping you outside of class and she is super nice! Defiantly one of my favorite profs!
All material is presented very clearly. Is very helpful and tests are all fair. Highly recommend
After taking STATS with Claudia, concepts that I missed in Calc 2 were even clarified. Totally recommend her as a prof. She approaches problems in every learning style to make most sense of it and provides thorough notes, so if you miss something you can review it. She will answer emails promptly if you have questions.
I don't think I would've done well at all if I didn't have Claudia for stats 217. Her notes are very clear and she explains all concepts so they're easy to understand. Her exams are very fair as she posts additional problems that really help you practice. She is also very nice and approachable in emails and office hrs.
My best prof when it comes to access outside the class room and email response. This lovely lady goes in most saturdays and sundays for a few hours just for her students. What a gem! Her notes are very well organized and she has a great voice to listen to. Its math so expect lots of assignments and homework but clear grading.
She's probably the best STATS prof you'll find here. Take her class if you can. Both notes and lectures are easy to follow and are thorough.
There aren't enough good things to say about Claudia. She is like that youtube video that makes you want to cry happiness because it explained everything so well and suddenly everything makes sense. She teaches at such a comfortable pace. She goes through everything SO thoroughly. Math person or not, you will succeed if you take this class with her
Claudia is the best of the best. Simple as that. Don't take stats with any other professor, it's not worth it!
Very accessible. Attend class? Benefit from her teaching. Don't attend class? Benefit from her very effective detailed and completed posted notes and online video tutorials. She didn't create the finals or the midterms, yet they were made much easier due to her amazing thorough teaching. Made a daunting course very easy.
Amazing prof! Really cares about her students and really tries to make sure the students are learnings and are always there to help. One of the best stats prof there is. She goes at a slow pace, so if you enjoy faster lectures, she may not be the right prof for you. But either way, she is an amazing prof.
STATS IS HARD. but Claudia makes the class bearable. She is a really good prof and really cares about her students well being.
Claudia is unlike any stats professor at U of C: she speaks English, has organized not, creates practice questions for every scenario, is so lovely, and does everything in her power to make sure her students do well. The class is hard and the final is brutal, but she was great!
An extremely clear and specific professor. She really cared about the whole class (200+ students) understanding the material and would always extend office hours to accommodate! One of the best profs ever!
Claudia is one of the best professors I've ever had, even outside of Haskayne. The best notes I've ever seen from a prof, creates helpful and comprehensive practice opportunities and is a great resource to her students. The class is difficult - I rarely go to lectures, but I went to 90% of these and credit that to passing with a good grade.
Super nice!!! One of the best in the University of Calgary!!!
Her lecture notes are really clear and she provides lots of extra practice. All the assignments may be time consuming but force you to do the practice required to get good grades on the quizzes/midterms. Really good prof who made concepts clear and explained them well.
She genuinely cares about you succeeding in the course. She is always giving useful updates and information about the course relating to assignments and test material. Also teaches the material in a way that is accessible and understandable even if stats/math arent your thing.
Stats was actually fun because of Mahler! She is an amazing lecturer with extremely organized and comprehensive notes. She teaches in a way that is easy to understand and is always accessible through email or office hours. There are Webwork assignments and weekly quizzes but if you keep up on material they are easy. Also bonus marks are available!
She is probably one of the best profs for stats you can ever have. Her lectures may seem a little slow but its because she makes sure you learn and understand all concepts. Her notes are absolutely amazing and if you need help she will make sure you fully understand it after talking to her
Very attentive and puts a lot of effort in her notes.
She was by far one of my favourite STATS professors. She cares a lot about your success in the class and does so by providing many examples and making sure everyone understands the concepts. You don't need the textbook, her notes are enough.
Claudia is probably the best Stats prof at U of C. Her notes are very clear and organized. Stats is a tough course for lots of people but if you want to improve your odds at getting a good grade and understanding the material, take it with Claudia
I have Claudia for math 249 and she is amazing. I'm not great at math, and was terrified of this calc class, but Claudia explains things in a way I can understand. She takes her time and gives lots of examples. I never feel stupid asking a question. I've emailed her and she always gets back to me quickly with a detailed answer. She makes math fun
Hands down the best prof I've ever had. She cares for the success of her students to the point where she has office hours on weekends. She is both an incredible prof and person.
The best prof ever!!!
An amazing prof. Teaches things at a steady pace so if you don't understand (can be slow if you know what's going on). Don't need to go to class cause she always posts the notes online.
Claudia is the reason I passed this class. I found the content difficult but her lectures were easy to follow as she showed step by step how to go through different examples. Very nice prof who made her office hours very flexible so that her students can get the help they need.
Best teacher i've ever had by far She genuinely cares about her students and makes stats actually understandable. Wish every UOFC prof was like this
Probably the best teacher you could possibly ask for.
She is an absolute sweetheart. She knows what she's talking about. Super organized course. 10/10 would recommend.
I was really nervous about taking Calculus let alone a math course in a giant university theater this year. Nonetheless, Mahler did a superb job of instruction. Went at the perfect pace explaining step by step, really nailing down the concepts. Her notes are also AMAZING and I don't know what I would do without them.
She wasn't my assigned prof but I sat in on her lectures and she made calc so easy to understand. She also emailed me all the practice questions and completed sets of notes she posted on D2L that I didn't have access to (because I was enrolled in a different lecture section). She's such a sweet person and has great notes, take her classes!
Claudia is one of the best profs to take Stats/Math with! She makes things super easy to understand and her notes are top-notch. She's super approachable and will take time to explain any problems with you until you understand them. I hope she teaches more courses in the future!
Incredible professor. She is so organized, clear and caring.
Claudia is the best prof at U of C! You can tell she really cares about all her students. She goes out of her way to make time outside of class for students (scheduling office hours on weekends). She is so organized and her notes are amazing. I was able to get my first uni "A" in her class. If you have the chance to take a class with her DO IT!
She has amazingly organized notes and she herself is an amazing lecturer. She made statistics fun, clear, and easy. She gives a lot of resources too, so that the exams have no surprises. If you have a chance, take a class with her!
Claudia is very caring, and accessible for her students. That is her best attribute. Her notes are very well prepared but I found that she lacks real-world examples and connections. It was her first time teaching this course so there are a few hiccups along the way. Also does not give hints about what will be tested on.
She is the best prof to take math with if you normally struggle with math. Her notes were amazing and well prepared. You could tell she really cared for her students and wanted them to succeed.
Claudias class is one of the last ones in my degree and she is easily one of the best profs Ive had at U of C. Attendance and doing her practice problems help a ton towards getting a good mark in her class.
I would not have passed math without her. She is so caring and wants everyone to succeed. Provides so much extra practice material, even more during midterms and finals. Her lectures are so clear, and perfect for those who need step by step explanations. Her work is very neat and is also coloured which makes it so easy to go back and understand.
Claudia is an amazing professor! Took Math 249 in the Winter with her and I passed because of her amazing lectures and extra assignments (not graded). It was amazing to enjoy math and understand it. She goes through everything very slowly asking questions and giving clear understandable answers. I highly recommend this prof she will not disappoint
Claudia was an absolute gem. She is so caring about her students and hosts many office hours for extra help. She makes difficult concepts manageable and thoroughly goes over examples. If you have the chance of taking her, dont miss it or else you will regret it especially for higher level stats.
She is very structured in the delivery of both lectures and material. Would really love to have her in upper statistics courses i.e STAT 421
Math was never a strong suit but I did way better than I ever imagined doing in a math class in her 249 class. I wasn't great at math my whole life but I aced a university calculus final, that says a lot!
Claudia is an absolute gem and a great professor. Her style of teaching is very thorough and shes very caring and helpful. Honestly, just a really great teacher. Holds extra office hours as well. Just wish we were told more specifically what syle of questions would be on tests, but other than that, shes a wonderful teacher. Definitely recommend her
INCREDIBLE professor. Lovely considering the midterms were ridiculously difficult. All information was clear, notes were organized, and she genuinely seems to care about her students.
Amazing lecture notes that explain terms and concepts thoroughly. Provides excellent examples and works through them in class (color-coded too to avoid confusion!) She explains concepts very well and even provides extra practice problems that I used in order to do well in the class. Amazing prof and would definitely recommend, especially for 265
Claudia is such a sweet and caring prof. Her teaching style is good for those who aren't good at math. She goes at a good pace and goes thoroughly through steps and example questions during her lectures. She genuinely wants to see her students succeed and will always answer students questions respectfully. Would highly recommend :)
Her notes are unreal. So clear. If you show up and listen and then do practice problems you are golden. Her lectures are really nice, clear concise and informative. All examination were totally fair and expected.
Claudia is amazing, her notes are very clear and she is very understanding. If you get her as a prof and you are willing to work hard you will do well in this class!
Claudia is a real gem. Her notes are amazing, classes are clear and specific to the topics. She is easily accessible outside the class and one of the best professors in the university.
Mahler is a really good prof. However, she gives the easiest examples in her notes and the midterms and final has the hardest examples you'll ever see. She helps and gives good feedback outside of class.
Oh my god! She is literally the best. Her lectures are so well planned. She gives a lot of great examples in class. She teaches really well. One of the best profs for STATS. If you have her you are lucky. She is the best.
Was a good prof up until the second quiz and assignment. Beware : The lecture notes are NOT sufficient enough to prepare for assignments after the first one. You will have to find information elsewhere like textbooks and google to answer obscure probability questions which are not covered in-class/lecture notes. Which is unfortunate.
If you show up to class and follow along, youll do great. Her lectures are clear and her lecture notes are amazing. If you put in the work, the course is easy.
Claudia is ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS I HAVE EVER HAD. She is so caring and will go out of her way to make sure students the material. She is an example of what an ideal stats professor looks like.
Absolutely love Claudia! If you are someone that is enrolled for a calculus class with Claudia, I stress the fact that you are in amazing hands. She makes the course material very understandable and she really cares about student education. Couldn't have been blessed with a better prof!
Best math prof I have ever had. As someone who struggles A LOT with math, i would never imagine myself finishing this course with the grade I did! She really helps you to understand the concepts, her notes are amazing, and she's just such a sweet and caring person in general.
I don't have a strong math background but taking it with Claudia makes it so much easier! She's so detailed, patient, clear and organized. Her teaching style would suit majority of the students! Keep doing all her practices! She's also very responsive with emails with detailed explanation on questions i had difficulties with. She's beyond amazing!
Made math 249 real simple. Her presentation skills are good and her notes are always real detailed. As long as you practice and do the assignments, the tests are relatively easy.
Claudia did really well adapting to online classes. Her lectures are easy to follow and she explained everything really well. The tests and assignments were fair and the class was very well organized.
One of the best profs in the math department. Had Claudia for Calc I and now this course and she's simply amazing. Her notes are by far the best I've ever seen from any prof. Claudia definitely cares about students and wants to see everyone succeed. If you have the chance to take a class with her don't pass it up, you'll regret it!
Claudia explains and teaches in a way that I wish all professors taught. She cares about her students and ensures that every aspect of a topic is addressed so everyone will understand. Truly a blessing!
Claudia Mahler knows her student. She knows that not everyone is good at maths, statistics or calculus. She makes sure to go through problems step by step. Her problems address every question a student may encounter. The tests are whatever we already went through; honestly taking stat 205 over poli 399 was the best decision of my life. Amazing prof
Mahler is such a SWEETHEART! I've never had so much fun in a uni class like this and i was always looking forward to the lectures. I've never felt so at ease. In the first lecture she said she teaches for those who have trouble with/are apprehensive about stats and she stuck by that. anyone could understand her instruction and i appreciate it!
Excellent professor for what I considered to be a very tough class. Explained all calculus concepts beautifully and rarely left confused. An amazing math prof who I would recommend to anyone.
She started the first lecture of the year by saying that she used to find math scary and that if you felt that way now, that was totally okay. She said she'd be there along the way to help us through the course and her goal was that by the end, we'd be feeling good about calculus and our ability in math. She was absolutely right. PHENOMENAL prof!!!
She is literally the only professor I want to take a math/stats course with. Such a good experience with 249. Loved her
This class hit me like a truck. Without Mahler, I would have definitely failed Math and probably would've thought about giving up. There were a lot of things I had to be reminded of like trig ratios, unit circle, factoring, etc. Mahler sent emails that had quick reviews on those. Super caring and actually wants you to succeed.
I would take a course just to have her again as a prof ��. Had her 2 years ago. Can't use words to describe how neat and clear her beautifully written notes are. She is sweet, kind, and encouraging. In stat 321, listening to her explain her notes would calm me down, unlike the messy old notes from the other stats profs.
Stats is tough, but she was always there for office hours, always willing to spend extra time on each student to help them understand. I've heard from others they think lectures are bland but it's just VERY straightforward and wastes no time (lots of content). You can tell she genuinely cares about you understanding the concepts, and is SO patient.
The best prof I've ever had. She explains everything really well which helped me a lot, and also gives efforts and time to prepare really good notes. An absolute GEM she is!
She explains topics very clearly and carefully and it is clear that she knows exactly how to portray things in a way we will understand. The homework is reasonable and good practice. She is very kind and patient and I would certainly recommend taking a class with her.
She is one of the best professors at the University. She clearly cares about her students and puts in a lot of effort to make sure people learn and succeed. She's rare and amazing.
I had Prof. Mahler doing the Winter 2021 COVID-19 online semester, this course is so good for first year students. The recorded lectures weren't always done by her but the notes are clearly standardized material, detailed and understandable. Graded material is setup for SKILL ACQUISITION. Approachable, organized, and super communicative. 11/10
Claudia covered some content in my STATS321 class and her videos were the only reason I did well. Now I am thriving in STATS323 she explains everything super clearly. Statistics is a difficult subject but she is able to break down the content in a very understandable way. She sets you up for an A
I cannot express how amazing Dr. Mahler is! She is so enthusiastic, organized and her lectures and notes are so clear. She clearly cares so much about her students and wants them all to succeed. The class had so many resources and places to ask for help if you needed, which really sets students up for success. Seriously the best prof Ive ever had!
She was absolutely amazing, her note packages were extremely well laid out. She was organized, and available whenever you needed assistance for anything. Lots of assignments and quizzes but they were worth it as it prepared you perfectly for the exams.
Great prof.
Amazing prof, really understanding, explains concepts super clearly and in different ways to help you understand. The class was organized really well and provided lots of practice to prepare you for exams.
Best Statistics Professor at UCalgary. Prof. Claudia is genuinely a nice human being. She might not know you, but she cares for all her students.
She is the best STAT professor in Math department.
Dr. Mahler is an absolute gem. Shows she cares about her students, and on top of that, is an extremely clear lecturer that makes every concept she teaches make perfect sense. Definitely made STAT much less stressful for a lot of us!
Best prof in the stats department. She has the best explanations when explaining how to approach a problem, and will help you if needed. Her class average this semester is extremely high, with this semester being an A (92%, although we had 24 hours for quizzes). In-person is usually an A-. Take her over Scott or Stallard (Clowns) when choice given.
Her lectures and notes do not prepare you for the assignments and tests. Some questions are extremely straightforward, and others are so bonkers and ridden with typos it gives me a brain aneurysm trying to complete them. I do not know where the question sets come from, but not a single person did a grammar or spell check on any of them.
Claudia is amazing. Her explanations are always concise and helpful, shes also quick to reply to emails. This course is assignment heavy but for a good reason as the questions always reflect the ones on the tests. She really cares and made this course a breeze! (:
She is simply the best professor in the department. Our class was made asynchronous, so different units were taught by different profs, and Claudia was the best one by a mile! Quick to respond to emails (especially after 8), explains things clearly things, and a fair marker.
Amazing prof! Explained the concepts super well, and her notes are easy to understand. She goes over really helpful examples, and answers questions thoroughly. She has such a caring personality and really wants her students to succeed. As long as you show up to lectures, and do tons of practice before the exams, you'll do great.
my best prof this semester
STAT 213 was online for me and it was asynchronous so each unit was done by a different prof but Claudia's videos were the best. Her notes were easy to follow and if you practice a lot, you'll definitely pass the exams. She also replies to emails and discussion board questions really quickly which is something that not every prof does
I had Claudia as my prof for two class (Math 249 and Stats 213), and she is amazing! She is always responsive to emails, is helpful, caring and teaches extremely well. I always feel comfortable asking her questions because of her kind demeanor. I don't think I would have done so well in these classes if it wasn't for her!
The best prof ever. She makes all the lecture material very easy to comprehend. Im lucky to have been in her class. There are weekly quizzes which cover the material for each week, which is understandable. They are fairly easy as long as you listen and attend. Would definitely recommend having her for any STAT class.
Super nice, she was very understanding of an emergency and is extremely good at teaching.
She teaches Stat very well, and gave us extra time during stressful times like the first quiz and at the end of the semester
Prof calls back to previously completed material in a comprehensive/relevant manner and really gives you an excellent understanding of concepts. Assignments and quizzes are simple if you do the textbook work. I aspire to have her level of organization, it's insane.
Claudia is definitely better at teaching stats than math. This is just my opinion but the way she teaches stats is much clearer than how she teaches math. Don't get me wrong, she's a great prof but I think she should just stick to teaching stats
AMAZING professor. super clear simplified explanations and assignments(+midterms) don't stray too far from material covered. thank you for an amazing semester!
Claudia is a great prof but I'm just terrible at math. Her notes helped a lot but math 249 is a very hard class
Claudia is potentially the best TEACHER I have had at U of C. There's many Profs who are interesting to listen to but aren't as skilled in actually making their students understand, but Claudia is the full package. She made learning as easy as possible, with minimal clerical hurdles, every possible support to help learning is provided. Amazing!
Mahler was by far the best professor available for Math 249. Many students sought out her classes rather than attend their own lectures, and for good reason, as she by far is the best teacher. She genuinely cares for and supports her students, and will do her best to provide you with any additional support you may need.
Mahler is everything you would want in a professor- she is open and not condescending, teaches in a clear manner, and answers any questions you have. If you show up to her lectures, I would say that it's a guaranteed A -- I usually have a hard time with calc and she made it seem as if I was a natural at it all long. Pick her for your classes.
As someone who is not a math person, I was really worries that I would do poorly in this course. I was truly blessed when I got Mahler as a prof, she is such a gem. Her notes and lectures are structured so well and she was never condescending when you asked questions. Would definitely recommend!!
Professor Mahler is extremely caring and very organized. Her class made online learning much easier!
I had a completely asynchronous online STAT213 class and despite the overwhelming and intimidating nature of statistics, she made it amazing. Her explanations are so clear and specific and she will do everything in her power to make sure that you succeed!
Honestly a gem, best prof I've ever had. Very clear and thorough with explanations. lecture slides are great and have everything you need. Goes through many examples. Exams and assignments are very fair and she's super clear on what to expect from them. She obviously cares a lot about us and so long as you do some light studying, this class is an A
I was definitely worried about taking calculus in University due to most of my math learning being online in high school due to Covid. All of that was reassured as Claudia has engaging and easy lectures that made calculus easy to understand. I highly recommend her to anyone who isn't a math person and would love to take a course by her again.
Best Professor in the department by a mile!! She explains things simply and in different ways to help you understand better. She is the best teacher for those who aren't math-oriented, she just makes everything much more simple.
Best Prof, thats it. Thats all I have to say.
Best prof ever!!! She sends out email every week to remind us about any assignment/test/quiz. Exams are fair and cover all the things she mentioned in lecture. No tricky questions at all! A very thoughtful prof!
best prof that i had in my first semester. she is clear, concise, and knowledgeable. 100% would love to take her in future courses
I wish every professor was like Claudia. Shes so organized. I miss her, please teach me again. She is wonderful.
One of the best profs I have ever had
I remember in one of our first lectures, Mahler told us that she always had issues with math and learning the content when she was younger, and that is why she decided to pursue a career in teaching math, with a teaching philosophy that students like her old self would be able to learn math effectively. That tells you how great of a prof she is!
My class was done asynchronously online, but Claudia did a great job making the course very manageable. The content was shared through short videos, and detailed notes were provided. Tests were fair, and coursework was manageable. My only concern would be some lectures were recorded by TAs and accents and poor audio quality made it hard to follow.
Claudia is an amazing statistics and math professor. She's clear, well-paced, and friendly. If you have the opportunity to take her lecture... do it.
I was so nervous to take stats, but Claudia taught it in a way that made this my best class. She is a phenomenal teacher. She responds to all emails in great detail. Just make sure to fill in all the notes she provides, as they serve as a perfect reference for quizzes and assignments. Would recommend her to everyone and anyone.
One of the best professors you can have, she is very helpful towards students and detailed oriented during lectures. Would highly recommend taking her classes.
You are very lucky if you have Claudia as a professor, because she is very clear in her lectures and makes labs, assignments, and midterms very easy. You won't have any trouble receiving a grade you want, if you actually try.
By far the best professor I've ever had. Highly recommend taking a class with her if you get the chance.
Would definitely recommend for stats, lectures were very clear and explained the content well, the assignments and class structure was also very clear. Not the easiest class but tons of resources provided. Taking stats 217 has made me realize how amazing of a prof Claudia is.
best prof I've had yet... by far
She is such an amazing prof. I had her for stats 213 and I cannot recommend her enough.
I have always struggled with math, usually scraping by with 50-60%. If you need math and struggle with it I can't recommend Claudia enough. She gets how daunting math is, makes sure everyone understands before moving on, makes step by step instructions for the harder topics, uploads notes before class and responds to emails clearly and quickly.
Claudia is one of the best professors you could have when it comes down to any MATH or STAT class. She teaches material very well and because of that you will most likely get a really good grade. Make sure to attend lectures or watch the online ones and complete the note packages and any quizzes, guaranteed you'll do great!
Best teacher ever!
Claudia is an amazing person and a teacher. Really accessible outside class and willing to answer any questions you have.
I would like to give her a kiss on the cheek. Dr. Mahler saved my life in STAT, she was super clear and concise and really understanding of any technical errors or slip ups. I sincerely hope to have her as a prof again in the near future!
This prof is seriously amazing... I'm horrible at math and she actually helped me achieve an understanding of calculus that I would never have dreamed. Her lectures are super clear, and offers a lot of resources outside of lecture times as well. If you ever get the chance to take a class with her jump at it!
Everyone calls her the STATs lady for a reason. I loved how Claudia always knew what's worth going in more detail over or for the level of the course. We don't need to have a complicated understanding of STATs for this course, and she knows that, but she always offers extra help and information on all topics. Most easygoing class I've taken by far.
Her teaching is so organized and understandable. She's super caring and makes content so easy to understand. She's the best prof I've had so far. Literally a blessing!
She's amazing. Made Stats so easy to understand in a way that sticks. I remember everything from stats because she genuinely explained it so well. 100/10, definitely recommend!!
Take her classes you won't regret it. She makes everything so clear and will take the time to explain it until you fully understand the concept. Her notes and lectures are amazing
The very best. Academic royalty!!! A stat course with Claudia is the equivalent of hitting an academic jackpot. Consider yourself lucky, sit back and enjoy how the course feels like a breeze compared to your other courses.
I cannot recommend her enough, seriously. If you struggle with math, Claudia is phenomenal. She breaks down concepts so clearly, provides steps for how to approach each problem and is so genuinely kind and sweet. I took Math 30-1 twice, almost failed twice. I took calc with her and I got high 60s. First time I have ever looked forward to math.
Mrs. Mahler is probably the best teacher for STATS 213. I've always had difficulty with Math related subjects, but she makes STATS VERY EASY to understand. She teaches it like you're truly a beginner. You can tell she really cares for your education by the way she teaches the content, provides a lot of resources, and the way her course is set up.
Such a sweet little lady.
Personally, I never went to her in-person lectures. But her lecture notes and videos were amazing. The discussion board was super helpful in terms of answering questions related to the course. She is also very organized and definitely cares about her students' success. Although the weekly labs were a bit tedious, this class was my top this semester
Love her! Very to the point with her lectures, lots of examples, easy to follow notes. As long as you watch her videos or go to class, getting an A in her class will be easy. She also will post practice midterms that are almost exactly what are going to be on the midterm. She teaches it like we are beginners and wants you to succeed!
Mahler is the best professors out there, if you can get her for a class, take it with her. She goes at a nice steady pace, she is really easy to understand, her marking is fair and reasonable, she posts online lectures so if you miss a class you don't feel like you have fallen behind, exams are exactly as they are in the notes. She is amazing.
Mahler is an amazing prof, she posted recorded lecture videos to D2L in addition to holding in class lectures. Both lectures were very clear, and easy to follow along with. The course outlined was followed perfectly, it was a great class. If you have the chance to take a course with her, I recommend you do so.
Claudia is by far best prof i've ever had. The class itself gives you so many attempts to get a good grade. Plus she is so understanding, she responds so quickly (even if you email at 3am), and she's very sweet and leniant. All lectures are recorded and posted so you could technically do everything from home which is so helpful when reviewing.
Mahler had clear and concise lectures, that were interesting and easy to follow. The grading scale was super fair and if you did all the lab exercises you were guaranteed an A on the quizzes. The midterms were also relatively straightforward and fair as they complimented the lectures. Would definitely recommend taking any STAT course with her.
Might just be the best math instructor ever, very responsive to questions and teaches the course in a way that makes it very easy to understand, lectures are recorded and posted too which helps immensely.
Incredible. Just amazing. Her lectures are easy to follow, and she goes to every single part of the process very slowly and clearly. Videos for review also available. There is quite a bit of graded work, but EVERYTHING (including midterms) are open-book, and very easy if you follow along.
Claudia is an amazing professor. Super easy class. Would take again.
Amazing professor! I had the other professor for the course and his lectures made no sense. I stopped going and watched Claudia's video lectures instead and I received 100% on every assignment/test. She is amazing at explaining the content and was always available to answer any questions or grading concerns. She truly cares about her students!
Such a sweetheart. Extremely thorough explainer in both her lectures and videos, which by the way (for stat213 at least) were identical, so at a certain point I stopped attending in person and still did alright.
Awesome prof. Laid out the content in a very digestible way & the tests were very predictable. If you put effort in you will do well. She also is a very sweet person.
Claudia was very kind, caring, and knowledge about what she was teaching. She created notes packages that were easy to follow as well as many additional practice problems that were helpful in studying for exams. She responded to emails quickly and students questions on D2L. If you are able to, take this course with her!
May be a generally good professor, but did not adapt well to the semi-asynchronous structure of first-year engineering. Barely said a word to the class and kind of just hung out in a corner taking questions. I genuinely did not know her name until after the semester ended. Basically a self-teach class, which is luckily a lot of high school review.
She was very sweet and helpful outside of class. Would love to take another course with her. She made the content more digestable and made using R easy.
Claudia is amazing! Truly compassionate for her students and never hesitates to be flexible in deadlines. Her lectures were boring but that's literally just because it's statistics.
She is just wonderful.
She's so great
Claudia is very kind and really cares about her students. Best professor I've ever had!
The most amazing prof. Extremely organized and helpful. Sends weekly emails as a reminder about what is due for the week, and posts videos to D2L explaining every topic in detail. Quizzes and tests are extremely fair. You can tell she's passionate about stats and is very knowledgeable, but she explains concepts so well that everything seems simple.
Best prof!
One of the best professors I've had. She makes the material concise and easy to follow through. If you ever miss a lecture, you can catch up using her lecture videos which are super helpful. Exams were graded fairly and are easy as long as you study the examples and additional practice questions.
Claudia is an awesome prof! I really enjoyed her lectures as she goes over the course notes and examples in lots of detail. If you miss a lecture, her pre-recorded lecture videos are super helpful to catch up. She went above and beyond by hosting a zoom review session before every midterm on her own time. If you have the chance, take her class!
Claudia is one of the best profs I had this semester! Got straight to the point, notes were clear and colourful. She would sends out weekly emails to remind students of their assignments, quiz, labs, and midterms, uploads videos to D2L that go over each subject in great detail.
She is the best. SO understanding and so many extra resources available for us. I would die for her.
Mahler has a bright and sunny personality and a great teaching style that led to excellent lectures! She explained topics in detail to make sure we understood them well, and always asked us how we wanted to prioritize topic coverage in lectures as to make the most of them. I would highly recommend taking classes taught by her!
Claudia is an amazing prof. She is passionate about what she teaches and really tries to help students understand the material while also keeping them accountable. She is a fair grader and if you pay attention in class, do all the assignment and exercises it is likely you will get a good grade.
She is the best prof I've had so far. Very caring, goes over many examples, uses visual aids to help us understand content. Heavy-ish courseload in STAT327, but no final exam. As long as you go to lectures/do the lab tasks you will do fine on the quizzes. There is a final project in this class, but I finished it in less than four hours with an A.
Best teacher I've ever had, full stop. She is nice and caring, her lectures are engaging, and she wants you to succeed in her class. She goes above and beyond to help her students, even hosting exam review sessions on the weekends. The material is somewhat difficult, but she makes it very understandable with her explanations. Highly recommend!
Best prof ever! Mahler does a great job at explaining difficult topics and supplements her lectures with lots of examples. You can tell she really wants her students to succeed. She uploads her lectures too which was amazing, definitely take a class with her if you get the chance!!
If you show up and follow along in the lectures you should be fine in scie 301. Posts completed/filled-in lecture notes as well as videos. Assignments are usually easy and the questions are sometimes similar to the lecture examples. Tutorials are also easy as you really only need to show up for the quiz dates. No final exam, just a final project.
She's overrated if you ask me. Yes her class is easy, but the whole things feels like a royal waste of time since she teaches the content as if you know nothing. Way too much time is spent on the most basic stuff it feels as if we never get to the more difficult content. It's really just too easy especially if you are using it to prepare for exam P
Professor Mahler is one of the best profs I've had in UofC so far. She explains everything in very good detail, and she shows really good examples in lectures. She is also very good in responding back to emails.
Great professor. Without any previous experience in statistics, she made this class enjoyable and easy to follow for me.
Before Math 249 with Claudia, I was broke, homeless, 0 women, n my wife left me with my kids (that arent mine). After attending just one lecture with Claudia, my life flashed before my eyes and i was born again with the inspiration of Claudia and Andrew Tate. I felt safe after.
Claudia is an amazing professor who makes the material really engaging and easy to understand. The lectures are super helpful, and she goes above and beyond with extra resources like pre-recorded videos and review sessions. unstuck study ai was a great supplement for exam prep.
She is amazing at explaining concepts and answering questions, but there is a lot of assignments.
Claudia is the GOAT she is the best prof ever. I feel like Einstein when I'm in her class
She's a good prof who lectures well, and is easy to ask questions. Nothing really unclear, but damn does she go slow. She's so slow it's hard for the content to be anything but crystal. That will likely be a positive for a lot of students, but it encouraged me to consistently skip the first few minutes of the 8 am lecture lol.
GOAT she is so sweet and you can tell she is always trying her best and wants her students to succeed. I'm not a math person so I was not looking forward to this course, but I got so lucky with her as the prof. exams were really fair and as long as you do well on the assignments/labs you're golden
dont even have to show up to lectures, just do all the stuff on webwork(which you have unlimited attempts for) and you can get an A
Mahler was an amazing prof. She explained concepts very clearly, using many helpful examples. She answered questions very well. She even hosted an online zoom review before every major test, which were all very helpful going into the tests because she would make the expectations very clear. She also posts very detailed notes and videos on D2L.
Format of the class made this class extremely easy, with infinite attempts on everything, her lectures were great though, made everything quite understandable.
Great prof. Goes over everything and very willing to talk and help with any difficult problems. Assignments have multiple attempts and genuinely help understanding the material.
Claudia Mahler is literally the reason why I did well in this class despite hating math. She wasn't even my actual professor, but her videos on D2L and zoom reviews were so helpful for exams and assignments. She's also so kind and understanding, so don't ever feel afraid to approach her with questions!!
All marks are done through online assignments, labs, quizzes, and "achievement activities". All assignments, labs and quizzes can be done as many times as needed before they are due; achievement activities can only be done once. All notes are available online, as well as the prof through the discussion boards for any questions.
Best prof of the semester. She explains everything very well in her lectures, but you can teach yourself when she uploads the notes. Lots of assignments but they have unlimited attempts.
I really liked her, but she went a little slow in classes sometimes. She was really good at answering any questions and going over topics thoroughly in class. She was also very helpful outside of class, and even gave up her Saturdays to do midterm reviews. She also had videos for each set of notes which were really nice.
Good at answering questions and making sure students understood the concepts. Sometimes goes at a bit of a slow pace, but explains each topic well.
There was no final for this class, all of your grades are done through assignments and quizzes online which you have unlimited attempts at doing. She is a great prof who explained concepts really well in lectures
Amazing professor, would recommend her to everyone. Her notes are great and she answers all questions respectfully
She organized the course amazingly. Her notes and the videos on d2l were the best. Dr. Claudia was not my section instructor but I was attending hers instead. She is amazing!!!
Amazing prof
She was amazing, and as a first year student at u of c, she made me feel reassured, she took her time to explain things, and she's always open to talking.
Amazing lectures
Amazing prof. She always responds to questions to clarify material and goes through content very thoroughly. Lectures are slower paced which can be a negative but you can tell that she really cares about teaching this course and explaining the content clearly.
Literally amazing!
I love her so much, such a good math prof! 10/10 would take again.
Mrs. Mahler has by far been my favourite prof! She goes through everything at the perfect pace, is very organized, and so nice. We only had a handful of quizzes in tut., weekly WebWork questions, and a final project, all of which were easy and enjoyable. She made learning stats and using R much less daunting. I highly recommend her for any class!
Very kind and helpful. Helped me out when Im not even in her class and emailed her for help. Love her so much.
i would give her my entire life savings and my first born child if she asked for it. her lectures are so easy to understand and she makes learning calculus as easy to learn as breathing. i genuinely credit my success in this class 99% to her. i truly don't think it's possible to find a better professor
She was awesome. I would've got a better grade if I did the final. Her in-class examples were basically the same as what was on the exams. She held zoom meetings going through practice before exams which were also really helpful. She also posted everything which was super convenient when you couldn't make it to lectures.
Claudia was super organized and very clear in her lessons. One of the best teachers I've ever had
Good prof, lots of quizzes
Hands down a great calculus prof. If you struggle with math and need a good teacher, go with her if you can. She clearly cares about what she teaches.
I took the course 4.5 years ago, in Winter 2021. I don't remember details. I only remember she spends time to answer student's question a lot. When we have questions or problems regarding the class, she is very helping us!
She explains everything very clearly and goes over lots of examples in class. Just wants her students to do the best they can! Overall one of my favourite professors
Claudia was an amazing Calculus professor! She was really good at explaining difficult concepts and will always answer students' questions very thoroughly. You will always have practice questions and problems to prepare for tests and the workload wasn't that bad. If you are taking intro calc, pick her for sure.
Genuinely one of the most caring professors at university of Calgary. She puts in effort to teach students in class through lectures and is very accessible for additional help if you need it. She's very open to questions and willing to help students when they are stuck. Provides a lot of material to help prepare for exams as well.
