Okay, nice lady and all, but she has an accent and always gets off topic. With her, you'd probably be better off finding out whats gonna be on the test and just staying home and teaching yourself out the book. She confused me on a daily basis.

She didn't understand I work full time, 40 hours a week, M-F, 9-5, which means I couldn't make it to all the classes. I missed some quizes because of it (hurt my grade), and she wants you to take the tests on your own time (which I don't have much of). The subject was easy, class was easy, and she's too not horrible. A boring lecture overall.

While this teacher isn't very helpful, the book more than makes up for it. I went to class and took notes and didn't listen to the teacher.

If you have a hard time with math to begin with, DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. She is very hard to understand- going to class is almost pointless. The tests are very different from the examples/quizzes she gives. There is no EC or HW to raise your grade, and the quizzes arent worth much, if you do poorly on two tests you will not pass the class.

Hard to understand b/c of accent. Goes off subject, loses the attention of the class. Encourages you to come see her for help if your confused, however, she makes you feel stupid when you go in for help. I am not very good at math and when i went in for help she was very hesitant with providing guidance and gave off a lot of negativity.

Very nice and while she does have an accent, after the first lecture it should be easy enough to fully underdtsnd what she says. There's also random quizes and random attendance so while you COULD pas the class without, it is probably a good idea to go to lecture. As long as you pay attention in lecture and do the homework it should be fine.

Easy Stats class. Her accent is fine after a couple classes. There are random quizzes but some are take home and most you can work with a partner. Her tests aren't terrible and its pretty easy to earn 100 on all 3 of them. As long as you pay attention and do homework you should be fine.

The first couple of weeks the class was a breeze but it got more complicated and she would skip steps while explaining. I had to go to tutoring at least once a week. I am not horrible at math but her class made it so difficult to understand concepts. She is really funny and overall a great human being but I could not understand her half the time.

Professor Jackiewicz is a pretty good professor. The material wasn't difficult and she taught it pretty well. She gives one homework assignment for each chapter, a quiz pretty much every week, and three tests (including the final, which isn't cumulative). The quizzes and tests are pretty easy because she puts practice questions on her website.

Easy A+ if you're good at math!! As long as you pay attention in lecture and keep up with the online homework, the tests and quizzes are not hard at all. All test and quiz problems are very similar to those presented during lecture. She also likes cracking jokes every once in a while, which is nice since Stats isn't the most interesting class.

Dr. Jackiewicz speaks with a heavy Polish accent, but it isn't too hard to understand. Her lectures have examples that are exactly like what will show up in her tests. Just take the sample tests she has on her website and you'll get an A+, if not over 100%.

Pretty straightfoward if you dont have any issues with math. Pro tip: SHOW UP TO CLASS. She has in-class projects you wont see online. She has an accent, so if that isnt your bag, you might want to consider someone else. But on the other hand, shes helpful and understanding. Tests CAN be tricky, so be sure to study and take the practice tests.

Dr. J is what I kindly refer to as a bully professor. While her assignments aren't that bad, she would belittle students openly through emails and Piazza. Didn't have many problems with her personally other than the first week when she threw a fit about extending a deadline for me because Pearson wouldn't give me an accessible textbook (I'm blind).

It is hard to understand her explain the material (has an accent). She reviews the notes that she has and is not engaging. Practice exams are not similar. If you skip class you risk missing a pop quiz. If you have trouble with stats take another professor. She is the worst professor I ever had at ASU.

When addressing students, she uses the term "Kids." When paying a lot for schooling, I would prefer to not be called a child. When asking questions she rarely knows how to answer and instead makes you feel inept for not already knowing. 3 tests, 3 practice quizzes, 20 homework assignments. She doesn't teach using calculator. Youtubed everything.

Okay Kids, here's my take on this Professor, she hates teaching, math, and you. There is a bright side however if you already know the subject, you can teach yourself or just enjoy giving away your money for education via youtube, then this is the class for you. Im pretty sure Im speaking for many of the 150+ in the class. Good looking out ASU!

She doesn't do ANYTHING. When you ask her a question, she belittles you and makes you feel stupid. If you don't already have statistics knowledge, please don't take any class with her. You most definitely will be teaching yourself, and I highly doubt she will be willing to answer any of your questions. Avoid her.

If you are into being called "kids" or "children", you found the perfect match! She didn't send one email to us the whole semester that didn't have some sort of snarky or rude comment in it. If you are asking for flexibility from her, you won't get it. I would have taken anybody else but her if given another chance.

Prof answers questions thoroughly and quickly in the discussion board. She doesn't do any teaching otherwise, so if you struggle learning yourself do not take this course.

Professor Jackiewicz needs practice in "netiquette". She is not very kind to her students, she essentially has overdone and doubled down on "providing everything you need" to minimize ever having to contact her; she has provided too many things too look at and expects you to just know where everything is and how everything works. -0/10 Dont take.
