If you can't write fast or if you are a visual learner you shouldn't take this class. Reading is heavy and tests are 100 questions at a time. If you fail one test you won't pass the class unless you get 100's on the other three. 4 tests and one 7 page paper is all of the required homework.

If you're even slightly bad with math, DON'T take this course, because you will be teaching yourself the material. Not only that, but every week, she assigns a group to "reteach" the lesson, called STs, and expects you to go to them for questions instead of her. If she wasn't the only teacher of this class, I would have dropped ASAP.

so incredibly difficult to follow. not a good teacher if you are actually trying to learn the content. but if you are just trying to pass the class you will survive.

I would strongly recommend NOT taking this professor due to the fact that her course is graded by very few things, leaving little to no room for failure. 4 exams (about 100 questions each) and a research paper (which she grades very loosely). This course consists of reading your textbook to educate yourself, no PowerPoint slides available.

The class is simple, but it is graded on very very few things. 4 exams and 1 research paper. If you do bad on one test it can be difficult to bring the grade up. If you just need the credits this is an easy class.

Quizzes and homework weekly. She is incredibly nice and understanding. However, it's hard to follow her lessons if you don't already have a strong grasp of statistics. If you struggle with math, be prepared to put in some extra work.

Very hard. Does not know how to teach. You have to learn everything on your own.

I got a D in this class because of how difficult it was to follow. I am now retaking this class at Temple University and realize the problem was the professor. At Temple there is no unnecessary writing out all of the equations. We are thoroughly taught how to learn everything with slideshows, not reading a bunch of words in capitol letters.

She's a sweet person but her teaching methods are hard to understand. She's overly hyper, doesn't go over what we need to know for tests or homework, and expects us to teach ourselves using the textbook. Overall didn't learn much from her class and still don't know my grade a month away from finals bc she's so slow at grading and won't put them in.

All lessons are taught by hand. Some equations take up 3 whiteboards. She talks extremely fast, doesn't explain anything. One online quiz and SPSS homework with unclear instructions every week. There are days when I wanted to cry in class because I was so lost and frustrated. Need to have a good understanding of statistics going into this class.

Easiest class I've ever taken, took this as an honors and as long as you read the book you'll be fine. 4 tests, one research paper, and there's also 2 weekly discussion posts a week but they aren't graded for points. Her front cover canvas page layout is a headache but other than that her class is a breeze. She is helpful in emails also!

Professor Sedik is an interesting character. She gives great, informative lectures and has a great way of explaining the concepts of statistics. However, she clearly did not want to be there, which made it very hard for me as a student to motivate myself. You will learn about statistics and how to use SPSS, but make sure you are self-motivated.

Sedik was quick to respond to emails, outlines expectations pretty clearly, and does overall a solid job. I submitted an extra credit paper a little late but did well on it so she gave me the full score possible. There was a good deal of reading but it was an accelerated class, so I reckon that's to be expected. I hope to have her again soon

Best professor I've had yet. Absolutely amazing, I've learned so much throughout her class and you can tell she truly cares for her students. I wish I could take her class again.
