Class average before finals was 40%. Enough said

her tests are hard, damn hard

Final exams are extremely hard

Nice person. Fair. Gave me reference letter to go to HK.

Me not understand. Very hard.

Prof W. is very systematic, clear and precise in her teaching. She's organized and prepares the class well with online homework, assignments, etc. Her exams are demanding, but fair. Great teaching style for this kind of course. I learned a lot.

Do the past exams and the midterm will be a breeze. The final is a bit harder but should at least end up with 85 for the overall mark!

The midterm and final is extremely easy. A very helpful prof outside of class. Very easy to get an A+

EASY EASY EASY. Whoever is complaining about this class being hard is a total dumbass. It's basically math for dummies: easy midterms, easy assignments, etc.

She is eccentric, but she gives you all the information you need to do well. If you are prepared for the lectures, they are good review. To anyone who thinks she is hard, you are probably dumb.

she is ok

She is a hardworking prof. She'll answer almost any questions and reply emails within like 1 day!!! NO doubts that she gives out a lot of hwk & assignments, but she's always there to help and these works help you understand the materials better. Great prof!! =P

This woman is a robot. It's worth taking the course just for the uncomfortable 'jokes' or when she chews someone out, if you're into that cruel kind of humour. The course is dry as the Sahara and her test can be extremely hard, but it's not that bad. The final was a big relief.

She IS a bit strange, but her courses are incredibly well organized and she's actually very nice. If she reams you out in class, it's because you were disturbing the class. The final this year was a piece of cake.

MEMORIZE NOTES. ONLY use text if you don't understand notes. tests are mostly theory, all questions are from notes. study previous exams if possible especially for the final. lectures are dry, but she gives you material you need to do well. She is very helpful during office hours.

If you do all the online quizzes, you should do quite well in the exams. Almost all exam questions are from the quizzes, so no use for notes. However, make sure you DO understand how to get the answers and you need notes to do the assignments. I dislike her though. She may have some mental problems, hard to say b/c I don't know the situation. She c

Statistics itself is dry and tedious. So naturally, teaching it would be the same no matter if your Dave Chappelle or Al Gore. That said, Prof Whistler's course is very organized and you will get all you need to do well in the course. ASQ is horrible in my opinion. Just show up expecting to be taught what is needed and no more no less.

Honestly, people who think she's the wicked witch of the west should give her a break. She's actually quite nice. Don't be a smart ass and piss her off, and you'll learn to like her and more importantly, you'll LEARN. Go to class, ask questions, do your ASQs, and understand her past exams and you'll be fine. Got an A and I suck at stats.

Prof. Whistler. Her lectures are good. She's great. She moves constantly around the class--kinda cute. She seemed a nice and shy person. But otherwise she is an intelligent prof I've ever had!

I don't know what you guys are talking about! 325 was EASY! the midterm was SO EASY! the final wasn't all that bad if you've done the her past exams, just becareful on the terms and stuff and you should be fine! DO HW, ASQ true it's hard to listne in class and not fall asleep but read your notes after. Her teaching's standard. i like it. cute prof

She's pretty excentric... but let's face it, her classes are really easy. If you don't do well in her classes, don't attempt further work in econometrics.

she's a nice prof, notes are clear, answers email questions asap. Do your assingments and asq. The asq, assingments were really helpful for the midterm but the final exam came out of no where. Final exam was not fair at all.

although her notes are very clear, her exams are kind of hard. she tries to bring the average down in the end: that's her goal i believe.

I went to class before the midterm but all I did was play on my D/S or watch movies on my buddies' laptop, (which probably annoyed those around us) After the Midterm I avoided going to class altogether. Class is not mandatory, she just reads her notes which are pretty straight forward themselves. Just do the practice exams and read the notes.

I don't get why people thought she is hard, it is probably because they are stupid. Econometrics is difficult to begin with but Whistler did not make her a class a living hell because the exams were not that bad (as we were allowed to have our own cheat sheets) and the assignments did not take that much time to do. No need to go to class.

Answered emails pretty quickly. ASQ absolutely useless. Textbook was horrible, and didn't have anything to do with material on midterm and final. Brutally difficult course. Not for the faint-hearted.

I think a some people on here are being unfair - she might be a bit awkward but she puts loads of time into making great notes, answering emails thoroughly, etc. The course itself is very easy once you thoroughly understand the material, which you can really do just from the notes if you want.

She may be awkward sometimes but overall she's a good prof who replies to emails and solves your questions. The course isn't that hard but you may need to spare more time on reading notes on your own.

Nice Prof, Notes are extremely useful. Study the notes well and you will get an A for sure!

She is a very nice prof. She answers all the questions and gives the hints for hard ones. You need to study her notes which r very helpful for the exams. Some people may think her lecture is kinda boring but still lots of students attend the class:)

I don't get why people are complaining about her. She's very helpful, organized, and nice. Her lecture notes are very useful. Fair exams and assignments. If you think she's boring, I guess you're looking for an entertainer, not a professor.

Pros: Very helpful prof (probably the best prof i've had in terms of answering questions by email), excellent lecture notes that are easy to follow, reasonable marker. Cons: Nervous lecturer, boring at times, hard to inspire interest in the material. She's a very nice, smart lady who knows her stuff, but could work on being a more engaging speaker

Professor Whistler is smart and super nice. During office hours she will go all the way to help you answer the questions you may have. Must attend classes and do assignments!

she provide very clear lecture notes,basically you dont need to go to class the notes which available online already covers everything.the midterm is VERY easy.for final,it is harder than the midterm,my advice is make sure your equation sheet covers every equation from notes.i strongly suggest to take the course:i put little effort on it and get A+

The problem with Diana Whistler is her obvious nervousness when she's lecturing, however this doesn't get in the way of her knowledge and enthusiasm for econometrics. I attended most of her classes, and I believe they definitely aren't a waste of time particularly since this math will be useful in the future! Btw I got an A+ in the class,

This course was quite easy, no matter who the professor was. Do your ASQ questions and read her notes will help you get an A easily! You even have no need to remember all the formulas since you will have your cheatsheet during your exams!

GREAT PROFESSOR...I'm honestly surprised as to her other ratings. Her points are crystal clear and her exams are pretty straight forward. Her notes are all in order and clear cut. I honestly love how organized and helpful she is. Very easy to approach after class or during office hours and lenient with her grading. LOVED HER CLASS!!

Easy Course!!!

Diana gives all his notes on the website, and she will give more specific explanation of her notes. Once you have a problem with your homework or webwork, she will give you a pretty specific and clear explanation of the question as soon as possible. Work hard and you will get a good grade.

Study for the finals! I had a 100% with minimal effort, until the final... It really requires you to sit down and do your work.

She is super organized which made her course enjoyable. She is very helpful, and her lectures are pretty good if you can pay attention. I also find her adorable
