I really loved my Statistics class with Prof. Kallman. She knows what she is talking about. Truthfully, I'm not sure how helpful she is during office hours or after class. I just know that in class I understood what she was talking about and I had no trouble applying what we learned to the homework and the exams.

i don't get why she has such bad reviews. yes you write in a journal, but it's not everyday. i think i've only written 6 the whole semester. you have to do one after every test but there's only 4, so it's not a big deal. she's very nice and teaches well. there's also a bonus question on every test. i would take her again if she taught MAT 130.

Easy class, hard exams. She will do problems and then do new material 5 minutes before the class ends. There isn't much to do in the class. She likes to make easy problems hard on the exams just to have fun taking off your points. Expect to fail or drop if you are only average in math.

Her tests are hard and you're not allowed to use a calculator, but she gives you a study guide for each test and goes over it and as long as you study what's on the review you'll be fine. Also, go to every class cause you get 2 points added on to your final grade

Dr. Kallman is a nice professor, but her clarity of the subject is just terrible. Especially these journals. You will do a massive journal after each exam (depending on how well you did) and it is a waste of your time. Journals are 20% of your final grade, but I wish that she could do something for these journals. Overall: I would not recommend her

This professor was great. If you need statistics take her. If you don't need it, don't take statistics. She give 4 tests and journals. each test is worth 20% and the journal grade is worth 20%. She tries to help everyone. The only way you will pass is if you do your homework and study. She's great but you have to try. Not a easy class.

nice person but is a bad teacher. 80% of the class failed the first test after study groups and tutoring sessions. Makes you re do the wrong test questions for 20 points so it looks like more than 4 students are passing.if the majority of the class (exept those who have taken Calc before) fail the class what does that tell you about the teacher?

DO NOT TAKE HER! Worst professor ever. I love math, and she did an excellent job at making me hate it. Her lectures are poor, her explanations are weak. The 2 problems she does on the board are nothing like the test. She expects you to teach yourself the sections so when she "teaches" it you already know it. WORST PROFESSOR AT BERGEN!!!!!!!

I don't recommend her at all! She does not explain the material to you so you have to learn it on your own. I tried so hard to learn it and would spend hours every day on hw but still did bad on the first test. Makes you write journals which are pointless. Dropped her class and took it with another professor where I got an A.

She is a nice lady but she can't teach. She goes really fast, and expects you to teach yourself. A lot of homework and 4 tests.
