She was always available and always answered emails quickly. When I didn't understand something, she would get online and help me. This class is hard, but she really helped me out. I would like all teachers to be like this.

Stats Live Online. She was a little scattered. She doesn't automatically review your work on exams, you have to email her to get credit for your work, but she will adjust your grade. Do all the homework, I re-did all homework before each exam. She does a cumm final worth 25% , but if you have an A prior you don't have to take the final.

Daphne is one of my favorite professors. Clear expectations, accommodating, easily accessible for help, interesting lecturer, and explains the concepts clearly. The way she lays the class structure out was fantastic. She is very involved and makes everyone feel included and involved. Thanks!

She didn't do hardly anything. She doesn't teach any material. Made us pay for an online subscription though MOER math and couldn't even answer my questions. Tests are hard and don't always reflect homework. 2/10 would do again

it will probably be the first-class I fail, the online format is horrible and the tests are nothing like the homework assignments. I know stats courses are usually difficult to understand but this lady did not help at all, avoid this teacher like the plague.

Textbook wording isn't comprehensive, videos disorganized, and I didnt complete one test within the time limit. Its most of the grade. The logic is if the majority doesnt have a problem, it isn't one. She did eventually go back to look at the grades after an argument though. The tests dont match the homework. No grade changes no exceptions. Even 1%

This is a college statistics class, so you do have to work hard. I chose online, so I watched the videos and read the text. The videos were very helpful. Test questions were similar to homework, so make sure you do the homework. All class materials are free, so that is great! The instructor always responds quickly to emails. Fair instructor!

This class was a breeze, and I don't consider myself good at math. Each test was UN-PROCTORED and you had to submit work for each test within 15 minutes of submitting the test. Final exam was easy and UN-PROCTORED. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She was accessible and open to change grades if you caught an error.

I have always been pretty average at math (B's) and took an online math class last semester and did great. I do the homework and watch the videos but the content on the tests, which are a huge part of your grade, is nothing like the homework. She is super hard to contact which is frustrating when you are taking an online class. Would NOT recommend.

I would not recommend taking this class. From my experience, I have never been more confused in a math class until now. Watching the videos can be a bit difficult to understand but after some time it's easy to understand. The homework and tests, almost all of your grade, is completely different and you don't know what to answer. Take someone else.

80% of your grade is based on tests alone. Midterm consists of first 4 chapters of 8 while the final consisted of all 8 chapters. On some HW you don't have a video to help you, so if you don't understand the textbook good luck. Have to go in-person for midterm and final, was given a calculator that wouldn't allow to graph equations Avoid this class

Very Test Heavy Class! 4 Unproctored Online Tests (7.5% each) Midterm / Final In Person (25% each) Homework (20%). Homework is unlimited attempts until completion. If you want to pass this class, pay rigorous attention to the first four chapters and the last four will follow much easier. Rossiter was available via email promptly when needed.

For an online class, there are so many resources, and everything was free. There are videos, examples, and a book. Also, you can meet with the instructor whenever you want. It is online, so be prepared to work, but you have no reason not to succeed if you put in the time.

Grading for an online math course is a different story! Most of your grade consists of 4 exams on MOER (30% overall) and must take the Midterm and Final in person (25% each). If you prefer to take this online class, then get ready to teach yourself. If you would want to take this online course, then get ready to teach yourself!

Being an all-online class was tricky to really understand the material. She also used MOER outside of Canvas for assignments and tests, making it hard to remember due dates. That being said, she was very caring with our grades, had easy extra credit opportunities throughout the course for midterms and finals, and did reviews for important tests.

I took MAT206 online over the summer with Daphne. A lot of learning on your own but if you reach out, she is more than willing to help. I asked to meet via zoom a couple of times because I was confused and she explained the subjects and questions in a way that actually helped me understand. She definitely cares about her students, just reach out!

My experience with Rossiter was not good. Her emails are not clear when it comes down to asking for help. She will leave you on read as well. You have to ask students in a forum for help though they are lost as you are. Her replies are rude. Your grade is 80% based on tests and 20% HW. The HW sometimes doesnt even have clear explanation. Avoid her.

DO NOT TAKE HER. Severus Snape would be a better professor than her (and no I do not think he was a good person like some of you weirdos). She never responds to emails and she says she gives partial credit but does not. I have a 4.0 and this is the last class I need to transfer to uni. I'm afraid my GPA is about to tank because of her.

Wow, I just completed this class and I would never have made it without her help. She met with me in office hours and was willing to help me whenever I needed it. I would not have passed without all of the help. Also, watch all of the videos as they are so helpful!
