She apparently knows her statistics so well that she is incapable of teaching it. Textbook was not used at all. Lectures are useless as she is all over the place and not organized on the topic. I had a high C when I dropped. It was taking hours and hours of self-teaching to maintain a passing grade and I could no longer keep up with the material

She is a fantastic teacher!! she explains the use of statistics, she teaches her class and offers extra credit in the HW, and there is an in-class quiz every class not worth much points but essential. Its a math-lab course so ALL of your HW is on-line and you are self teaching yourself. For stats deff take Mrs. Boyette.

Professor Boyette was awesome. She made calc 1 as easy as it could be, with examples of what you will be doing in the HW, and basing her exams off of those examples. She was always willing to help during her office hours, and outside of those hours, though her email return rate was slow. Don't expect an easy A, but work hard and you will pass.

Boyette was very helpful and understanding when it comes to work meetings or other obligations as long as you keep up. She does keep office hours. But do not expect her to remember your name (or face). She does a lot of lecturing and there is always Classwork. But if you understand the topic, that time can be used to work on ALEKS during class.
