I went to this class 1 time and got an A
Very nice, but boring at the same time, entertaining personality, very easyclass
its always more interesting when they are not right
class is boring, lab teaches you everything! easy to get an A!!!
she doesn't do anything...go to your lab
Seems like an easy A, but this woman just rambles on about nothing in class
No Comments
Easy class, just go to the lab and you'll be fine.
lecture is a waste of your time- so boring and actually more confusing than just reading the book and going to your lab- she is so sweet though!
Great teacher. she let's you have a full page front and back for every test of anything you want to put on it. very helpful for remembering info. i got an A and i'm not even good at math!
The class is very boring...she just confuses you by going to class. Don't even bother. The labs are helpful and you learn all you need to know.
She's really sweet and nice...but when it comes to teaching, she just rambles on about who knows what. It's been an easy class so far, labs are good, they'll teach you everything you need to know. She lets you have a page back and forth of your own notes

This class is so boring, she rambles on and on about pointless crap, but it is so easy. If you go class sometimes and go to the lab every week, you should be able to get an A. Its really a basic class.
She rambles a little bit, but she's not that bad. She's nice. The class is easy, go to class and the lab and you'll get an A.
Easy course. Attendance is mandatory at the labs, but they are easy too. You can use a full sheet of paper front and back with notes for the tests. If you understand everything by going to class and labs, do NOT waste your time or $ on the book.

This class is a waste of time. Don't even bother going to the lectures because all she does is talk about how the statistics relates to life, and she laughs at her own jokes alot. As long as you attend all the labs you will do fine. :)
This class is a waste of time, nice teacher but she rambles CONSTANTLY! Labs are mandatory and the only worthwhile part of the class. Easy A or B if you try.
Can get confusing
Take this Stat class if you are afraid of math and need it for your major. It's really not that hard, you learn everything from your lab - and attendance isn't measured at leactures, you basically only have to go to lab to learn. I got a B w/o trying!
sitting through this class is pure torture, i can't stand this lady, i have a small lecture class and she takes attendance. she rambles on and on about nothing and takes hours to explain basic concepts that can be understood in minutes
This class is sleepable...go to the labs and get a good grade!
Easy class but teacher is somewhat airheaded
No Comments
Really easy class as long as you keep up with her. We could use our coursepacks (well certain pages) and the book on our test. Not bad at all, especially for the late afternoon/early evening types.
Just attend labs...lectures should be basically optional
The class was fairly easy because of the labs, the lectures were a waste of time. I didn't like this woman, she would annoyingly chat with the TAs during tests which made it difficult to concentrate.
Her clas sis easy, she gives you a lot of information and examples, but her lectures are terribly boring, but she's an easy A
blah blah blah.... dont bother going to lectures, theyll put you to sleep and you wont learn. Labs are very helpful. Overall easy class.
She is overall pretty nice but very boring. She gets snappy sometimes when she gets mad, but you will probably be asleep while she is yelling, so its not big deal. Labs are helpful if you go to them. Pretty easy class
chances are youll just skip most of her lectures and focus more on the labs. When it comes to borring, her class is ranked high.
wow, i think i slept through the entire semester worth of the lectures. if you have a good TA, they will cover 100% of the material in the lab. don't bother with the lectures unless you want to leave your house just to go to sleep again
Most confused woman on the planet! She totally jumps around from one subject to the next, never about stats. Do not go to the lecture, go to the lab only. Her tests are not too hard. Overall easy but boring!
The class is really easy, you pretty much only need to go to labs. She is a nice lady, but a little ditzy. I would recommend her though.
The labs are a must. Going to class is generally a waste of time, but there is the ocassional class where she does some great examples (usually the wednesday before a test). The rest of the classes annoy you because she goes off on stupid topics.
Easy class! Not the best teacher in the world, but don't listen to what people tell you... GO TO CLASS!!! I go to class and all the labs and I have an A and I don't EVER study or do work. Just make the help sheets for the tests and you'll do fine!
She is a great teacher. It's a hard subject but she explains it very well. If you go to the lecture then you will get an A. But you dont really need to the the lab explains everything.
She is pretty clear in the lecture..but be careful as to who your LAB teacher is. Mine was a foreign grad. student and nobody could understand her. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR...GO TO LABS!!! Do what you will with the lectures..but the LABS are important.
I second the 12/1/03 comment.A lab teacher that is hard to understand (foreign lab instructor) can hurt your grade.
The lecture is awful ..Dont go! Go to the labs and read the book and you will definitely get an A. Make sure your lab teacher is good. Mine was awesome. The teacher sucks but you get cheat sheets for the tests! Not a bad class overall!
I thought she was good. She explains the material so you can actually understand it, then lets you use 2 pages of notes on each test. Guys, she wants you to do well just go to class and the labs (labs attendance counts toward grade.)
Well... I'll have to disagree with whoever told you guys to go to class- DON'T. Don't skip labs and go to the tests. Make sure you make a "cheat sheet" if you can't quite remember formulas, etc. Pray for a TA/Lab teacher that speaks English. I g

Don't go to class...the lady makes no sense and she often laughs at herlsef. As long as you go to your lab once a week and make good cheat sheets for the tests (which are allowed) you will get an A no problem. Don't have to do the hw, just read the book
Lecture is very boring. The class itself is very easy, and you're allowed to bring in a page of notes to the test. If you want an easy class, take this one, but just don't go to lecture. And hope that you get a good discussion leader
I didn't go to lectures because after listening to her for two days i wanted to shoot myself. she is a great teacher, she just goes off and tells irvelevant stories every ten minnutes. She is helpful though. Class notes and her test reveiws are online.
Lectures are very boring and she tends to repeat herself, but you don't really have to go to them. Go to the labs and (if you get a TA who speaks English) everything will be explained there.
GO TO THE LABS!! The lecture sucks, unless you like hearing about dirty water and random tangents. I went to 3 lectures all semester and still got an A.
the classes are pointless. she wastes class time w/ weird tangents! labs are the only way to learn and the text isn't very helpful. it can be done though!
Very smart woman. The lectures are VERY boring, but if you go then you can prob. make an A. Have to go to the labs, it's essential for the grade, and the TA's are WONDERFUL at explaining mat. She talks about irrelevant things, to try to make class inter.
This teacher really goes off on tangents, which makes it so hard to focus in class. The Lab is the only way I passed because the lecture is POINTLESS. Also the tests are worded very poorly and are very hard to understand. Notes are allowed on tests-helps
The class is very boring. Labs clarify everything. Not a hard class if you study hard.
this class isnt as easy as everyone says. the first test is easy but it starts getting harder fast so stay on top of the lab work and dont slack off. the lectures are boring and ta's can help a lot. do problems before the test you'll do fine but don't thi
I was confused in the lecture those first two days. Not because I didn't understand the material but because of her stories... I almost cried. Go to labs, you'll learn everything in there.
Her t.a.'s are awesome, she is not. Her lectures are horrible you do not even need to go. Go to every lab and you should get an 'a' or 'b'.
Her note pack is great. Attend class and do homework and you will have no problems. She is also very laid back and understanding. Very willing to help you understand. Great teacher!!
awesome teacher. she explains stats in a very simple manner. attend lecture and the labs. do the homework and prepare for tests. there's nothing difficult about it.
The lectures are all about her giggling and mumbling under her breath about..god knows what.. Her examples are so extravagant that any point gets lost quickly. My lab instructor could barely speak English. But NC is an option! = )
Very knowledgable and willing to help students. Make sure you do the homework. Lets you use your book and a few pages of notes on every test.
easy, but worthless. She tends to develop a personal dislike for some students. Open notes tests don't make a great teacher.
Open notes. Useless teacher. Easy A. She laughs at her own jokes, skip the lectures.
don't even waste your time on the lectures they don't help-- but GO TO LABS.. they're great.
Lectures are horrendously boring, and you learn nothing in the class. Just show up for the labs, and you will get an A.
No Comments
Lectures useless, don't go. Labs are a must, not because they help but attendence is taken. Open notes tests. My lab ta barely spoke english. Don't have to take final if you have a C or better in the class so that was good.
Great teacher. Very easy. Explains everything very well. I never did problems in the book, just studied her notes, and I got an A and did not even take the final. Take this teacher.
this class was hard because she rambled too much in class. going to class is pointless because she doesnt explain anything, but then you dont learn anything. i did bad on a test because i cant understand what she is talking about.
She is so sweet! JUst look over her notes and do a few problems before tests and you'll get an A. She's so nice and is happy to help if you need her to, also lets you use cheat sheets on tests! She rambles a little, but it's harmless.
Very easy class and very informative. Just go to the labs and read her notes. If you do both of those b4 the lecture it will be pointless to go b/c the lecture will seem too easy, but if you don't study you will never understand the lecture,its pointless.
From day one you will notice that she goes off topic, is unclear, and laughs at her own (not so funny) jokes. she does go over the material, if you can stay awake, and will give you a review sheet. Plus you can use a cheat sheet on the test!
This class is really boring! The labs really help your grade out and help you understand what is going on, but you actually have to go to them. The class is easy though. You can have a "cheat sheet" for the tests.
the teacher is really flighty but the TA's were excellent. Easy A
She is a very nice lady, and know what she is talking about. Unfortunatly, you have no idea what she is talking about, and she dosen't seem to notice that.
She is kinda out there. Laughs at her own not so funny jokes. It's not so much she isn't a very good teacher, but the class itself is difficult.
She's nice but a little crazy, though. Lectures are pointless but labs are a must(u learn more from the labs than in class!). Lets us use cheat sheets on tests/fianl exam too. Drops the lowest test score & gives a bonus lab grade if u really need it. However, Stats is a pretty hard class, though!
I've had Mrs Cutchins for 2014 and 2023. If you liked 2014 you are going to HATE 2023. There is no lab to go to and understand whatever crap she goes over. Material is pretty difficult and is hard to learn on your own. I love how she laughs at all of her own jokes, its the only reason i go to class
Worts teacher I have had in my 3 years at UCF. She talks more about her life than the actual math problems. does not answer your questions, unless your hand is up for at least 10 mins.
The class was better than I expected. Tests were open book with 2 pages of your own notes to use. You get all the class notes in a pack, no quizzes, so you don't even need to go to class. She does laugh at her own jokes and gets off the subject, but overall, easy class.
Pretty good teacher. She gives clear lectures and provides a notes packet. Then the tests are over similar problems and she lets students use the book and two pages of notes. Easy class. I recommend her.
She is definitely looney and the lectures are pointless. GO TO THE LABS OR YOU WILL FAIL. Labs are a must, the TA's explain ething very well. Go to labs and go to tests. IF you aren't good at math though you should go to lectures also.
go to class (at least every other time), take notes, do homework until you understand the problems well, and you're set. She curves like crazy and emails you the notes so all you have to do is print them out and fill in the examples. Great teacher, doesn't take crap from anyone.
She's a good person but a TERRIBLE professor. Her lectures are monotone and drawn out. She doesn't explain concepts well and the homework problems are nothing like her exams. I don't know about crazy curves, but regardless it was one of the hardest classes I've taken. Seek help once u take it!
BLAH professor. Cracks up at her own jokes. She knows what she's talking about but the students, well the students dont know what the heck she's talkin about...n she keeps talking like we all know what she's saying. Oh & if u have a question, b prepared to have ur hand raised for 10 mins!!!
If you get a good Lab teacher you'll be set(Stephanie Wood). The teacher on the other hand was not so helpful, dull class... Test are 50/50 and you get to use 1 page of notes during the test. Use problems from her homework.
This class is HORRIBLE! She is very unclear and her tests are seriously impossible. I even had a tutor and didnt pass it. DONT TAKE HER, YOU WILL FAIL!

She is crazy but the TA I had was very helpful (Stephanie). She supplies the notes and a study guide for the test. Its an easy class if you go to all the lectures. Also I would go to the classes because the lab has quizes based from the previous class.
She was so flighty and got off subject so easily. BORING
She starts talking about percentages and ends up telling you that her dog has a sore throat. She's very confusing, but if you listen closely you can get it. Look over her notes before class and pay attention to the TA. Susil is great. He really taught us everything.
SHE VERY BORING! I NEVER WENT TO CLASS.. WELL MAYBE ONCE A WEEK! WHAT REALLY HELPED ME WAS MY *TA*. WITH THIS CLASS YOU HAVE A MATH LAB FRI. OR THUR. IF YOU ATTEND THOSE 100% YOU WILL GET A B OR HIGHER
not difficult at all if you pay attention, go to class, and do the homework. she gets off topic alot but if you study the notes she gives in class you should be able to figure it out. fairly easy A.
Her tests are very short so usually people don't do too well because each question is worth a lot. I think that is why so many people gave bad ratings for this professor. I actually had her once, and chose to have her again. She is willing to help you out if you need it, but class is a lil boring.
she is a nice teacher but is extremely boring. 40 out of the 50 minutes of class she is talking about something completely random. Tells everyone that if you do not study or do the homework you will "crash and burn" on the tests but make a good cheat sheet (you get 8 x 11 f and b)and you'll be fine
Her lectures are insanely boring but if you skip them and aren't good at Statistics, you'll be behind. Get Stephanie Hood as a TA for your lab and you'll do fine - I have an A and I'm horrible at math, and it's because of the lab.
Class is extremely boring but with the course material what can you expect? Go to the labs and you'll do fine...no need to buy the book either, she gives you notes via email.
All you have to do is go to the labs, the lectures are a waste of time. Easy A if you go to the labs and actually listen, studying isn't necessary, bc you get a whole sheet of paper as a cheat sheet on the tests. You don't really have to even deal with Mrs. Cutchins, just the lab TA.
very boring and difficult to follow. dont even buy the book, i think i opened it once because it fell out of my bag. huge waste of money. listen to the TA's they are amazing mine had a thick accent and understood him easier. only reason i went to class (if i did) was because it was between 2 others.
This professor was very boring and rambled alot during class. Classes were pointless to go to. Go to your lab though. It is the only thing that got me through this class. TA was awesome. Grading was typical.You're allowed to use one cheat sheet for the test so make it good! Pretty easy besides that.
Very easy class. lecture was very boring make sure and go to labs though...they really help. Final exam optional. I only went to class once a week if at all and got an A for the semester.
All you have to do is go to her website and look at the grades. That shows you just how bad she is. Avoid her if you can.
Dont buy the book it's not worth it. Just study the notes and go to lab. Lab is awsome, that's where u find out what's really going on. Lecture is absolutely pointless dont go. Tests are not hard. Good luck!
She made statistics somewhat interesting. She is by far one of the easist stat teachers at UCF. Believe me this was my third time taking the class and I finaly passed. Take her if you can and stay away from Mr. Schott but I do hear that Mrs. Schott is easy as well.
Shes a sweet lady but rambles during the entire class and is hard to understand. She posts the notes for each chapter, which is very helpful in lectures, and curves the exams. Not a hard class but very hard to get information from lectures. (Got a B in the class because of the third test, beware)
Recommended. The lectures are important for people who are entirely new to the topic, but otherwise if you have a good lab teacher and have a good grasp on the content, then its an easy A. I didn't have to take the final because I already had an A and she drops some of the lowest grades too.
she is a mean, angry woman who will develop a personal dislike of certain people over the course of the class. Her lectures are boring, she is incoherent and not effective. Just read the book and work the problems...skip class.
Ok so she does get off the topic from time to time, but she gets the lecture finished. She even emails the class test notes. I hate Math classes, but she was pretty manageable. Take her in the Summer if you can!
If you take this class you are going to end up doing some work, but the class itself isn't hard. Just make sure you go from the very beginning so you don't end up trying to bring up bad grades on the first couple tests which are easier, by doing well on the later tests which are much harder.
This class does not require too much work and is not much harder than any other class. It is worthless though, you will not really get much out of it if anything at all.
Class is very boring.. like the subject, but hard to get around. You can easily get away with skipping the lecture, just make sure you read the notes (which she emails to you) and go to lab. Lab is great for putting stuff to use. Take her if you dont care to go to class, but still want a decent grade
Read the book, Do the Hw, don't bother w/ lecture, and go to labs and youll do fine. if u feel guilty about not showing up to lecture then u better be ready to be bored.
Basically if you read the book and understand notes it'll be easy. Lecture can seem pointless. She provides notes and study guides for each test and if you know what's going on you'll get an A. Overall easy class!
stats 2 does not have a lab so you cant rely on that for this class. Just her boring, inneffective, pointless lectures. Easy but worthless.....a waste of time.
Wow, I am so surprised by these ratings! This class is the easiest math class I've ever had- and I did HORRIBLY in college algebra! I have an A in Statistics. Mrs. Cutchins is really nice, though she does ramble. Her ramblings are just an attempt to get through to us, though, so its with good intention. Definitely suggest her class!
The class is very easy! If you've taken stats before you don't need to go to lecture because she's just confusing. She's very nice I have to say but not very clear in her explinations. The lab will save your grade. I do the HW and go to labs and I have an A. If you're not good at math stay away.
Nice lady I must say... not very clear when it comes to getting her point accross. Going to class may not help but the labs WILL...go to the labs and you should be fine. There are 4 exams and the final is optional. Try another.
class is not helpful, you dont need it she maybe talked for 10 minutes out of the whole time about math bc she likes to ramble, just go to the labs and youll do fine, I pulled a B with no effort and i hate and suck at math
if you need a good place to sleep, go to her lectures. class attendance is unneccesary expect for test time. just show up to lab and you'll get a guaranteed a or b. don't buy the book. her test are real easy plus you get to use notes.
DON'T buy the $100 book. Never taken stats before, and got an A without book. No attendance in lectures, but labs are a must. Learn more in labs than lecture anyhow. An easy A for a stats class. Not that enjoyable of a class, but it could have been worse. Did take time out of her own sunday to offer a study session for one of the tests
First 2 tests are basic info and definitions. Last 2 are more math-related. I did much better on the last 2. Labs are very helpful and great grade booster. Takes best 4/5 test scores and drops 2 low lab grades. Good teacher (kinda weird though) and not a bad class.
Best 4 test out of 5. Drops the two lowest lab grdes. The lab really boost your grade, so u should go. Im not a math oriented person and I manage to scrape through and make a C after failing two test.
Nice lady but she tends to ramble in lectures and they can get incredibly boring. 4 tests + optional final to replace lowest test grade. Go to the lab it helps you understand the concepts and boosts your grade. After the final I got an A :)Book isn't worth buying!
Great teacher. Tests are straigt-foward from examples in class. Does not deliberatly set traps in the tests.
Not very interested in class but was required.It's important to come to class b/c she does examples that are similar to ones on the test.Also it is important to go to the lab.This is when you have the chance to ask questions and to clarify anything u don't understand.I managed to pull a B out of this class.
I never went to class and I only attended the lab because it was required. I learned everything from the lab, and got A's on all the tests. The material got confusing for a few people, but it wasn't really that difficult if you ask me.
GO TO CLASS. It's boring, but how often you go will be how good your grade is. You need to do the homework regularly too. The lab is especially useful, it's where I really learned everything. The tests are not too hard if you just keep up with the material, don't fall behind. She doesn't have an accent, pretty much the best Stats teacher at UCF
She gets off topic a lot. Most lectures are pointless but sometimes does examples that are on tests. So make sure if you miss get notes from someone. Tests are pretty easy though sometimes tricky if you don't have notes from lecture. Lab is vital! I learned almost all from lab. Pretty easy class if u keep up.
I have no nice things to say.
If you are looking for a self taught class, this is it. The labs are required but, you will learn more from the TA then the professor. She goes off subject, talks in circles and overall uses the lecture time poorly. If you rely on lectures to understand math DON'T CHOOSE HER!
NEVER EVER GO TO CLASS!!! I stopped going after the first week and got 100's on two of the next three exams. Just go the the lab and do some of the homework if you feel like it.
Ok, if you want an A, you can get it no problem with her. I have gotten 100's on the tests. She lets you bring a cheat sheet to the tests and covers hardly any material. SHE IS THE ONE TO TAKE FOR THIS CLASS, if you don't take her, I feel bad for you.
come to class every day armed with red bull. you'll need it - otherwise, you'll fall asleep. the material itself is not difficult
Miserable class. She goes off on weird tangents from her own life, which takes away from class time. Learning the material on your own time is encouraged- she'll bore you to death otherwise.
She's not bad. She sometimes goes off on tangents, usually about her previous boyfriends and husbands, but she's really good at going over the same problems that will show up on the test. She's good at going through each step so you really see how to do the problems correctly.
She loves to go off on tangents. I don't think she's a great teacher but she's a really nice, cute old lady. If you want to pass this class with a B or higher, stalk your TAs! They will save your GPA.
She is an extremely easy teacher. HEr lectures are really boring, so you really don't need to go. Don't buy the big book. It's a waste. Go to the labs, and extra help if you need, and you should make an A. She allows cheat sheets on all exams. After the first exam, I only went when we had exams, and got an A. Take the final. Extremely easy!
She has to be one of the boring professors that Ive ever had.All she does is ramble on about things that dont pertain to class. Most of the TA's suck so get a good one.It is not that hard but she makes it more difficult than what it needs to be.Take good notes and STUDY!Test can get tricky. But the final is optional and can help.Get another teacher
Her lectures are VERY boring..you really don't have to go to them. You do not learn anything in the lectures since she talks on and on about useless stuff. The labs are where you really learn. Don't buy the book you don't need it and probably aren't gonna use it. Her test are Easy and definitly an A class. Final optional.
I think she is really good. She goes over things many times which can be boring if you understand them, but really good if you're confused. I am doing much better in the class than I thought I would and its a summer session so we're moving way faster than usual. I would recommend her to anyone as long as youre willing to pay attention in class.
I'm really usually horrible at math, and I was dreading statistics!! I've got her for the summer term and i'm doing great, easy to understand, straighforward tests, and the cheat sheet really helps! Take this class!!!
So glad I read this Prof. ratings on this website before taking anyone else this Summer C session. Dr. Cutchins was great at explaining material and her course notes/test notes were exactly what the tests were over. Didn't have to take the final cuz I already had an A...nice perk! Taking the final can only help/not hurt your average. Take her!
very easy A as long as you got to class and do some homework, I didnt need the book. Teacher is a little off though but she is very nice
She is a horrible teacher, however her tests are very straightforward. Don't purchase the $100 book and don't attend her lecture, just pay close attention to and attend all your labs. The GTAs will teach u everything you need to know in 5 minutes that you would fall asleep while she took an hour trying to explain.

Professor is rude and hard to understand. I didnt have a choice, so I had to take her class. If you have a choice, I suggest you find another teacher. When I asked her what can I do to get a higher grade? Teacher said...withdraw...
Terrible teacher. Exams are super easy though. Don't bother buying the book or going to class. Like the previous person said, just make sure you go to the Discussions and you'll learn everything you need to know. I wasted $88 on my book....
Beside the fact that Professor Cutchins can have a short temper (esp. w/ reguard to talking during lecture) she is very nice and informative. She explains things more than once so it is impossible to get lost during lecture. Her exams are not bad and she allows formula/review sheets on her tests. Easy A if you go to lecture/Lab. Never used the book
Class was so easy, I got a solid B with out going to lecture and hardly showed up to the lab. Lab attendence is actually 1/5 of the grade so I would suggest you go. Had I gone I would have easly gotten an A+. Don't buy the book and her lecture is boring but if you want an easy A just show up to the lab and the tests.
Easy class. She goes off topic a lot, but if you copy what she writes down, then you should be fine. You get to use a page of notes for each exam. Don't buy the book. I never did any of the HW and still got an A.
Don't bother going to the lecture...i went once a week and aced all the tests. You basically learn everything in the lab. If you go to class, she strays off topic a lot and you get confused. EASY class, she just can't teach.
Nice professor but not very good at communicating the information. Goes off on the same subject for the majority of class time. You'll learn everything you need to know at lab, so make sure you go. The TA's are very helpful and explain everything so you can understand it. I really enjoyed the class after I knew how to do everything.
SOO EASY! I hate math and always have and this class was so simple. You dont even have to calculate the answers, as long as you put them in formulas you are good. I would not reccomend any other teacher if you have to take stats take her!
don't bother going to class... all she does is babble, she doesn't check homework or attendence, but do the homework for practice for the tests because she uses the same questions with different numbers
An effing joke, the entire class. To call her a teacher is an insult to education professionals. All she does is spew nonsense information for hours on end, then yell at students that might not be interested in what needless digression she's indulging. Her testing methods take up so much time, you'd swear every semester was her first. Thumbs down.
I took her for honors, in a 19 person class about 7 show up. I went to every class but she was so hard to pay attention to and went off on random tangents about hybrid cars that I got a 70 on the first test. Pay attention and do the homework. She emails you all the notes ahead of time... it might be best to just study those and not go to class.
Tests are easy just make sure to go to lab. The lab helps you learn the material better than the lecture. Mrs. cutchins can be confusing in her lectures, she tends to go off topic during the class.
She is so rude! She doesn't teach, she rambles and if you have a question, she answers with sarcasm.
take her. it is not hard to understand her. she only goes over like one thing during the entire class it seems like more cause she rambles, but you understand the material and thats what matters. shes not rude, students are. please. imagine being up there with people talking. common sense. just shut up when someone is talking?? common courtesy.
Easy class...GO TO LABS! The TAs are wonderful. They make everything easy. She tends to ramble a lot. You have to tune her out when she rambles. She knows what she is talking about though. I barely used the book, maybe to do some homework I didn't get...buy it used or just borrow one.
The class was very easy with the help of the TAs. She tends to get boring during lectures and random, insane comments come out of her mouth, but it's still good to go to class, even if you don't feel compelled to go. Just go to your labs and do the homework.
don't buy the book!!!!!! you don't need it!!! TAKE HER!!! she is VERY nice, and VERY easy to understand. she rambles but she says what she has to say. and some extra stuff. either way, TAKE CUTCHINS!!! and go to labs!!! they help A LOT!!!
i didnt ever get to know her, but the class was really easy. make sure you take her for statistics. interesting class i never thought i would find statistics interesting.
She is a nice lady and means well, but not a very good teacher. If you go to all the labs then you will still get an A, but dont need to go to her lectures. She often gets off topic ans waists your time. If you are ust lookin to get through gen-ed then dont take her.
If you go to class, you'll ace the tests. She gets off topic for half the class time, but the information she does give, is important.
Great prof, very clear to lectures. Yeah yeah you have to go to class so you can learn but isnt that the point of college? Discussions are very helpful. I didnt even have to do the hw on the side because going to lecture plus discussion made it all clear.
Lectures teach nothing and she never stays on topic. You need to go to the labs to follow the class. Can be a bit rude.
Lectures are absolutely uselss and very very VERY boring. She goes off on a tangent every chance she gets, and thinks every "joke" she tells is HILARIOUS. All you have to do to get an A in this class is go to the labs. Other than that, dont waste your time!
Shes nice but boring. Its statistics though. A lot of how well you do has to do with which TA you get. I never went to lectures, only the labs and I did good. I dont think she helps at all. She spends an entire class period on one problem. You MUST do the homework though. If you dont you wont pass. Its not a hard class though.
This teacher talks A LOT!!! boring and no need to attend classes. GO TO THE LAB!! you dont need the book unless she tells you by email that you failed a test and have to do homework.
please my people go to the lab i took this class and hated math but i put my all in the math lab they really help and r very good the lecture is boring as hack i really didnt go but the lab was great i got a b and finish ucf yesss
Lectures are useless overall. So is buying the book. Just go to the lab. Really easy tests
Really nice lady but needs some polishing on teaching style. Knowledgable about what she is talking about but gets off track. You don't have to do the homework unless you fail a test which is hard to do. Summer sessions didn't have lab so I don't know what to tell you... you had to go to class in order to learn anything for the tests. Good Luck.
I know it sounds cliche to say but simply study, do the homework, and literally focus on the study guides she gives for tests and you should do great. Oh yeah go to class. She allows you to use a formula sheet. :)
this lady is nuts. im so glad i never have to take her again. she loves to call people out in class and she calls every one in the back half of the class stupid and slackers. test are fill in the blank not multiple choice so that sucks, the only thing that saved me was the formula sheets we could bring to the tests. if possible dont take her.
She is incredibly unapproachable. She calls people out and embarrasses them. She's very unorganized and scatter-brained. If it wasn't for the lab, I wouldn't have passed. Take another professor.
She is rediculous! She threatened to tazer us! Her tests are pretty easy but, even her TA's hate her! She's CRAZY try to avoid her! Learn more in discussion than in lecture!
very boring and very mean. gets easily distracted and wastes class time by talking back to students when they talk,and said that they should be tased for it. go to the labs, because you'll learn more than what you do in lectures.
She's a horrible teacher! She's really skatter-brained and goes off topic a lot. Just go to the lab once a week and you'll pass the class easily. Don't take her if you don't have to!
This teacher is kind of nuts and goes off tangents a lot! She also doesn't like people who talk in the class and she wastes time trying to shut them up. I came to class just for the notes, didn't learn anything from her. I learned everything from the book and the lab. Not that hard to get an A if you spend enough time studying.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND YOUR GPA dont take this womans class.... her class is a complete joke shes doesnt even specify what shes talking about just goes off talking about nonsense and spends too much time on achieving total silence she calls t anyone who doesnt sit in the first 5 rows stupid WASTE OF TIME MONEY AND PATIENCE
Useless. I learned absolutely nothing, but it's a ridiculously easy course if you go to the labs. She drops your lowest test score OR if you're happy w/ your test average you can skip the final. Long, useless tangents during lecture. Waste of time, money, and energy. Don't buy the book.
took this class spr of my freshman yr two years ago. this teacher is Horrible. she talks about unrelated stuff.boring.talks more about people talkin in class than anything.thinks shes funny.go to the lecture to get notes lab to actually learn material and youll be fine.fillin the blank tests.lets you have cheat sheet for test.
Terrible professor. There was a big scandal while I took her, allegedly she sent an email to her GAs saying how stupid we all were, that hasn't been confirmed though. I got a B in the class only because we were allowed to bring cheat sheets. I learned more from the labs. My advice- sign up but don't go to lectures, only labs and you will do fine.
Not really a great teacher. She mumbles and when she's talking she'll randomly go off on completely unrelated and unfunny tangents. I took stats before so I can't vouch for the difficulty of the class. Don't bother with the book, the notes are online and I copy/pasted those and shrunk them to fit onto my cheat sheet for exams. Lab is a must.
Although she seems knowledgeable about statistics, she has no idea how to teach it to the class. Ive never failed a class till hers, Im a B average student fyi. If you value your GPA at all, don't take her unless your already a statistics whiz. Find another teacher, although that seems to be hard in STA 2014
SHE IS THE WORSE PROFESSOR I EVER EXPERIENCED. DO NOT TAKE HER!! GO TO VALENCIA OR SOMETHING FOR STA2014 OR 2023 IS SHE'S THE ONLY PROFESSOR!!
Extremely rude professor. Claims to be distracted by people talking and goes on tangents for 3-5 minutes on how it distracts her. Randomly mumbles and goes off topic. Very little substance to lectures. My lab T.A. is not able to comprehend English either.
WORST TEACHER. She goes off on tangents and giggles to herself alot. She is so rude. Called me stupid because I left her class to make it to my next class, even though she was 5 minutes over time. RIDICULOUS about testing. She'll go nuts if you don't follow dumb rules. Don't buy the book. Attend every lab. Not unbearable class, but not great.
DO NOT TAKE HER!!! Her lectures are absolutely pointless. I stopped going to classes half way through the semester and I still manage to get As and Bs on the tests. Go to all of the labs and you will get a decent grade. If you do go to class bring an ipod or something because she likes to go on random tangents.
Although funny and entertaining, her lectures are absolutely a waste of time. If you read the book you will do fine on the test, in fact the book is more understandable than she is. Her tests are fairly easy but they don't have many questions so be careful and review your answers. Try to take this class with another professor if possible!
I don't know what everyone else is talking about but this was one of the easiest classes i've ever taken. Yes she may go off on little tangents here and there but when she does teach she is very clear and thorough. Do attend the labs though they help out a lot and you get to drop your lowest test grade or your 3 lowest lab grades.
The classes, which are not mandatory, really help for learning the material on the test and in labs (mandatory). I think going to class really helped, despite the tangents and constant interruptions from people talking during lectures. I would recommend this class to anyone seeing as it wasn't very difficult. Also, you don't need to buy the book.
Good professor. I am HORRIBLE at math but I passed, mostly because of the required lab. VERY HELPFUL and it counts as a test grade! Definitely recommend!!
Horrible Professor. She contradicts herself and make useless note. Don't bother buying the book either. Just go to all the math labs and go to the office hours to learn the material.
Disappointing class for the most part. I love math, and then this professor made it so boring that I couldn't wait for it to end. You can use notes on the exams, making learning pointless. Labs are important, but very easy to get credit for. Cutchins goes off on many pointless rants and fails to explain everything, but not hard to get a good grade.
Constance isn't the BEST teacher in the world and she tends to go off topic A LOT but I would still go to the lectures just for supplement. Make sure you go to your lab because that helps the most. Don't buy the book and make sure you go to labs that's all you really need.
She really isn't THAT bad of a teacher. I've always been pretty good with Math and Science, so Statistics itself wasn't that hard. If you aren't a math or science person, she may not be a good choice for you. She reads straight from her notes, and does examples, but doesn't really "teach" much. I didn't mind her class though.
i think this teacher is misunderstood. she is really confusing and doesnt have a great teaching style, but if you meet with her on her office hrs, she is helpful. as long as you go to your lab, you'll be fine. try not to miss a lab though-- they add up in the end :)
Horrible teacher! Her lectures are completly pointless and she just rambles on about each example, rather than just showing us how to solve them. I did find the class to be easy though and she does allow notes for the tests. Easy class, but awful lady. If you attend your lab and never go to lecture you should be fine.
She is horrible at teaching. Her TA's are a blessing. They are the only thing that get students through the class. She goes on rants and gets mad often about talkers. Dont talk in her class. Need the book for labs. Tests can be difficult if you dont study. You get 2 sheets of cheat sheets for test. Ta's are a lifesaver.
She is not a good teacher at all She is always getting off topic but this class is not hard if you ATTEND ALL labs print out ALL the notes and ALWAYS make your cheat sheet that she allows. You dont NEED the book but it is helpful for clarification if you are stuggling You dont have to take the final if you pass all your other tests + lab
The worst professor I've had in college so far. The ridiculously slow pace of the class borders on special education, and she teaches in 50 minutes what we could learn in 5. Don't even go to the lectures, all you need to do is go the the labs.
Easy class. Awful professor. She goes off on ridiculous tangents every day and always yells at people for talking even when no one is. Go to the labs because the TAs really know what they are talking about. Make the cheat sheets for the tests that she allows.
don't go to class, but go to every lab..i had chun he she is amazing. Cutchins goes on rants so by the time she's done you learn nothing. Also don't ask her to round your grade up, rude and useless...i had an 88.74 and she wouldnt round it to an 89 which is an A. If you just want to pass stats take her, if you want to learn..don't.
She is a professor who wants to see you do good. It is up to you to come to class nd get the information. She even suggests tutors if needed. Great teacher, if she does goes off topic it is normally something funny and relaxes you from nasty stats!
LISTEN. Took her for summer- no HW, no lab. Daily quizzes which were 5 pts each and made up 50 (out of 450) of our total grade. Quizzes are super easy- often she just gives credit for attendance. As for the tests? 4 tests make up your grade (best 4 out of 5 if you want to take the final). I got a 100% on 2 of the tests. She gives you notes, and the
Take her if you can! Took her for summer term and homework is assigned but not mandatory to turn in. 5pt quizzes given daily that adds up to 50 points for attendnace. 3 exams (20-25 questions) and 1 optional final (40 questions). Cheat sheets allowed for exams, and notes for the 5 point quizzes. she is funny and wants you to succeed.
Had her for statistics. she is resonable. Do the HW and study guides and you'll be fine. She does ramble a bit. Just be patient she will get to the point eventually!
Her tests are straightforward and cover whats expected with no surprises. I am AWFUL at math and easily pulled off a B with only doing the homework the night before. She understands not everyone loves math, just wants you to do well. Can get off topic but only does so trying to relate stat to real life. An amusing character. Nice. Would recommend.
Homework is not turned in. All you really do is go over the print outs from the class website. You get to use a cheat sheet for the tests.Labs are madatory. I had Chun He. She was nice and really cares. I don't even care about statistics but got through it very easy.
The class is really easy, just go to lab so you get some practice. HW is not collected so I really wouldn't bother with it. If someone in your labgroup has a book, you can definitely get away without having one. This woman is totally nuts, but just try to put up with her and you will be fine. I would take another class with her
Pretty easy. Annoying voice. Attend class and labs and you'll most likely get an A
She gets off topic, but class isn't bad. I'm terrible in math and I have a B in the class. Just go to class and if you don't understand what you learned, you will once you attend your weekly lab. GO TO YOUR LABS! They help boost your grade and help you to understand the material. She lets you have a page of notes for the class! Take the class.
She gets off topic easily but class is okay. Attendance to lecture isn't mandatory, but attendance to lab is. She drops your 3 lowest lab grades. If you miss class or need help, go to the TAs and they will help you. Tests are easy. For each test you can have one page of paper front and back of notes plus the tables she gives you
Like most of the comments said, she isn't always the clearest in her lectures. HOWEVER, she does try to make the class easy for those of us who aren't planning on taking any more math classes. Labs are EXTREMELY helpful - they sum up everything from the last week and boost grades. Go to labs, try to go to class. Overall, easy class if you show up!
EASY A! going to class helps, take good notes and your good to go. Lab helps A LOT! Easy 100 points to get from lab. 5 exams (drops 1) final is optional. She lets you use cheat sheets on exams... no excuse to not get an A in this class if you just go and take notes! End of semester, you can stop going a few weeks early if happy w/ grade before fina
Mandatory labs are a pain, but helpful. Notes only posted in class, which is another pain. However, not a hard course, cheat sheets on exams, optional final. Statistics is a very easy course, regardless of what teacher you have. You can lightly read the material, skip the lectures, go to the labs and pay attention in them, and easily get A or B.
Cutchins would be a better prof if she didn't ramble on about random things during lectures. She was so boring and I couldn't focus long enough to actually learn what she was saying. Labs were much more helpful than her. Definitely reminded me why I don't like math in the first place.
She is just an ok teacher. She gets your through the material pretty good. When doing a problem in the notes, she often doesn't stay on the same example. Class is not mandatory, but make sure to go to the labs. The book is good only for testing yourself. Homework is not required.
Class is not mandatory, but labs are. Cutchins is nice but tends to go on rants. Material can get really confusing. But it is statistics, so that's kind of what I expected. Make sure you go to labs, its a good grade booster. 4 tests plus a cumulative final exam. Final exam is optional though.
Lectures ae not that helpful but I do reccomend attending if you have time because the quiz in Labs is based off the lecture notes she writes in class. The material is not that difficult if you actually study for tests. Go to Lab for clearer understanding of material & quiz grade. She drops 1 exam out of 4. Quiz grade best 10/13. Book not needed!
I didn't have a problem with this class. But you have to Go and make sure you understand the material. If you don't understand it you will do terrible. There are TAs to help too. It's not the most interesting class, but it's definitely not the worst.
This class is SOOOOOO easy. She lets you use a page of notes front and back on every test so if you get a bad grade it's really your own fault. Also the TAs for the lab are amazing, don't worry if you are confused in class because they will clear up all the confusion in the lab. Great professor, very nice but don't talk in her class!
This woman is out of her mind, she rambles about useless information. The lab and ta office hrs rly help. Hw isn't required, don't bother buying the book, it's useless. Go to class to take notes so you can try and figure what's going on later.
Very good class! I was nervous when I first enrolled by she teaches in a very organized manner and the labs will help clarify anything you get confused over. Tests are easy, there are four and an optional final. You are allowed a page of notes as well as the page of tables which you can also write on. Highly recommend her!
She rambles on and on. Lectures are very boring and not always easy to follow along with what she is teaching. Labs are mandatory and really help to explain what she taught in class (and help out your grade). I would recommend still attending lecture and trying to piece together what she is saying and reteach yourself later.
The class itself is not all that difficult. Attending lectures is optional, though you will be quizzed over the material covered that week in mandatory lab sessions. Attend the labs; they're a grade booster! Plus, they're what REALLY helps with clarification, as she rambles a lot when she lectures.
Class was super easy, tests too, she gives you the charts and you can have a full page of notes, front and back. However, she rambles in her lectures and nothing is ever learned in class, so MAKE SURE you go to all the labs or you will be completely lost.
this was the most pointless class of my college career. she goes off on random tangents 75% of the time. lab is pointless too. do the homework, take notes, and do practice problems. tests are easy, but she does try to trick you on some questions. overall, really pointless and boring class
Teacher digresses in class a lot, but the labs are very helpful and are mandatory every week. Easy points. I didn't really took notes during class but paid attention in lab and you get like three sheets of paper of notes on the tests; not a hard course.
Even though she goes off on a tangent once in a while, she knows what she's talking about. Try not to talk during class, it irritates her. Go to class, the notes she gives helps out a lot for tests. Go to lab, they help out a lot as well.
I could not stand going to this class. In lecture she hardly talks about math or anything relevant to the course. I borrowed notes from a friend, went to my labs (which really do help) and I got an A. I wouldn't even suggest buying the book... you may need it for lab twice, and since you work in groups it's not even mandatory to have.
She is not incredibly hard you have an optional final. Her voice can get annoying during lectures and she tends to go on tangents. But the labs are very helpful highly recommend those. I wouldn't avoid her like the plague but I wouldn't recommend her either.
Cutchins is a good person who knows her stuff, but that doesn't necessarily make her a good teacher. She makes things a little difficult to understand at first, but eventually it will make sense. Best part about her class is that you are allowed a full sheet of paper (front and back) to have stuff written to use on tests. Go to labs. They help.
lecture can be confusing but labs are helpful. the text book isn't required but it helps for studying. the optional hw in the book is helpful for testing yourself. overall not a bad class
She is an awful teacher. She rambles on about information that has nothing to do with teaching the concepts. Class is very boring but the labs are extremely helpful. The TA's are also a great resource. But I honestly don't know if sitting through her lectures are worth taking this class. The tests are only 25 questions, but there is no homework.
Took the class and it was so easy! She was out for the first 5 weeks because she broke her leg and arm. We were first taught by T.As then she came back. It was so hard to sit through her class, she just rambles. You never know whether she is saying something important or not. But if you go to the labs and the T.As office hours. You should get an A
The class consists of 4 test and an optional final. there are 13 labs which count as 20% of your grade (GO TO THESE! more helpful than the actual class). Overall the teacher is okay, tends to ramble on and on about things. the optional final can be used to drop one of your lower test scores. I am a psych major and I got a B, so just do the work.
EASY class. Lectures don't help much but learned a lot in the labs. Attendance to labs is mandatory but not lectures. You're allowed to use a piece of 8x11 paper full of notes front and back on all tests. Put vocab and example problems from labs on cheat sheet and tests will be easy. Definitely take this class! Easy A, just pay attention in labs!
Before I started taking her class I had some concerns about Stats in general but my worries we long gone once I took her class she is very nice and teaches the class well. Her tests are quite simple and you should have no problem getting at least a B+. She tends to ramble sometimes but she always talks about how stats can relate to the real world.
She knows her stuff but isn't too much help if you know nothing about statistics. The class isn't too bad if you go to lectures, pay attention and take notes. She rambles lots about topics that don't matter which is annoying. Kind of a waste of time. Luckily you get to use a cheat sheet on tests or I wouldn't of passed. Homework isn't mandatory.
