Too laid back. Nice person, but I didn't learn a thing that will help me.

Probably the nicest math teacher at GVSU
Best teacher in GVSU

WOW..She is awsome :) :)..Deserves Nobel Peace Prize for teaching stats.
Awesome teacher- realizes we don't like stats... allows cheat sheets on exams!

Wonderful teacher and allows cheat sheets!!
best professor ever, and i hate math!
If you are still as immature as a high school student, you'll love her
AWESOME professor. makes everything so clear and easy to understand.
tests are hard, but can use cheat sheets. Fun class to attend.
Easy&fun...cheat sheets are the best!
Funny, helpful, she allows cheat sheets!! Take this prof
very easy class, no studying or homework required if you're good w/ math!
Coolest prof, good examples, makes sure everyone knows whats going on..take her
Fave class and prof. Take her if at all possible!!
whirlwind of unclear, monotune junk. Not appoarchable, mean spirited comments
Easiest class. She's kinda kooky but the class isn't bad at all.
decent professor but assumes we know stats already and doesnt make it clear when explaining.
Tests hard, but can use notes. Had us buy a $70 book that we only used for the table in the front cover (literally), explains things really fast and is sarcastic when people ask her questions. Her class is not too difficult but didn't care for her
She is a wonderful prof. The class is fun and easy.
The best I've ever had! Fun, easy class. Great teacher. Makes stats so insanely simple. Lets you use cheat sheets on tests. Questions on test are just like examples in class, just with different numbers. Grades statistics project really easy. Awesome!
Any teacher that lets you use a cheat sheet on the tests is top in my book!
Good personality, good instructor overall. She sometimes thinks we knows stats though. Overall pretty easy if you study and make a good cheat sheet
if you do the homework and make an effort then you will pass stats no prob. great prof
Never had a stats class before her. Although she was very pregnant at the time, as long as you came to class and took notes, you can do well. Very little studying needed, allowed you to use a page of notes for test. Funny, always was responsive.
She was a very nice lady! I think she would rather just chat with us all class then actually teach. She knows her stuff! Make a good cheat sheet(she lets you use) for the test and you'll be just fine.
She is a very cool teacher. She lets you have a sheet of notes for each exam. The only thing is, we bout a $75 book, and I never opened it!
great prof! she was very nice and always willing to help. She went pretty fast through the material, but she always allowed for cheat sheets. Great sense of humor, always tried to make statistics interesting. good class!
If you have to have stats take her. She is so understanding and helpful. One of the best profs i've ever had at GVSU.
Clear, easy-to-follow notes. Great examples, easy in-class homework grades. Very friendly and laid back. Cheat sheets on tests are a major plus. Proves that you don't have to be tortured with challenging tests to learn effectively.
Loved Salinas. Very easy going, down to Earth. Cheat sheets up the wazoo! Can't make stats much easier. WOuld take again in a new york minute!
she was a sub for my stats 215 class and she was very easy. the test that she made for us was very easy and i only got one wrong on it. she is a really great prof.
I wish she taught more classes! One of my favorite profs, got me hooked on stats. Very helpful and easy to understand. Wants students to do well, take her if at all possible.
i couldn't ask for a better math prof. she is hilarious and easy going. notes are very clear and helpful. lots of helpful handouts. tests can be tough but you get to use a cheat sheet. don't bother buying the book though, barely ever used it...just for back of the book charts.
She is a great prof. Make class fun and exciting. I hate math and specially stats. But with her i do not mind it at all.
This is definitely a hard class. Professor Salinas is a really good prof though. She didn't give very many examples though...We went through the material way too fast....by the time the test came-we didn't even remember half the stuff that was on it!
More "english" words on notes than in a creative writing class...cheat sheets are helpful, but sometimes, she can be a little rude. take it or leave it ( leave it)
She is a good professor. She makes everything simple and let's you have cheat sheets for all tests and the final. She is really down to earth and relates to the students. She's also really funny. I recommend her.
Tough Subject matter, but you couldn't get a better prof for it. She is very down to earth and fun. Very understanding, I would recommend her.
She was the best Prof I have had at GVSU. Makes class interesting by taking little breaks here and there to talk about things other than Stats. She is willing to help in any way that she can and has a genuine interest in students learning. Definately get this Prof if you can!
Funny lady, easy class. I felt like i was in high school. Just make good study guides for the test and ur good to go.
She is nice and explains very well. Class is easy as long as you do all assignments, and make good cheat sheets. She is willing to help and grades multiple answer questions by carrying your wrong answers through the problem so you don't lose as many points. I hope you like worksheets/handouts!
Very easy teacher. Allows several cheat sheets for exams. class could not be easier!
Great prof. I didn't study at all, just used my notes for all of the homework and tests, and got a B+, and I'm terrible with this stuff. Plenty of extra credit too.
If you have to take stats take Diane. She is great! Keeps class fun even though its stats. I was dreading this class but really it wasn't to bad. She is funny and loves to joke around. Very helpful too, I tell eveyone I know that has to take stats to take her, she's great!
It was a really easy class but I learned alot at the same time. She's always willing to help students and will go over topics until everyone understands them. She's super nice and you can tell she really enjoys teaching- highly recommended!
She made class interesting. Good professor. If you know the equations, you'll do fine on the tests! Easy class.
During class she would not accept questions and told the class that it was our responsibility to keep up with her rapid lecture. If we don't understand, that's what office hours are for. I tried baking her cookies once and she told me that because I'm a freshman, my cookies weren't good enough for her. Stay away folks, stay away!
Awsome teacher, loves teaching and loves her students...Highly recommend her
If you didn't get at least a B+ in 110 don't take her. Kinda scatterbrained in class, would take her forever to even start lecture. Office hours don't help either, she concentrates more on her email and internet searching then she does on you, she just quickly answers you then turns back to it. She is nice but not for those that need extra help.
I couldn't have asked for a better professor, she is very helpful and gives you a cheat sheet for each test and will do what she can to help you understand :-D
prof. salinas made this class a breeze for me. as long as you make good cheat sheets for the tests, you'll be fine.
You get to bring "cheat sheets" to all 4 exams. Since you have to take statistics, you might as well take it from somebody fun.
Prof. Salinas is really awesome. She makes class fun, and although the notes tend to get a little tedious, she brings in real life examples that make the material easy to understand. On top of that, she tries to get to know her students, so it makes approaching her with questions a LOT easier!
She makes stats more interesting than others
fabulous professor! extremely helpful and puts her students at ease by joking and having fun in class!
She was sooo much fun and she was willing to help you whenever you needed it. She made stats intresting and I hate math!
I hate math and I got an A in her class. Very nice and very helpful. Likes to joke around with the students. Lets you have a"cheet sheet" on every test. Would defintally reccomend her.
She was a great prof. She is soo willing to help you with anything. You know what to expect on exams and she is very clear and you get a cheat sheet for every exam.
Great professor, down to earth, tries to make stats easy and fun.
Very fun class. Made stats seem easy. Down to earth, her only mistake is being a notre dame fan.
Deffinately the Stats 215 teacher to take
She managed to do a great job of making stats interesting, and made it possible to actually pass the class with a good grade
Very good teacher. All you have to do is be in class and do homework to pass.
