Professor He can be difficult for those who don't put any effort into her class. I've taken stats 3 times and she's the one I was able to pass with. She is actually really helpful in terms of increasing your grade if you're willing to put in the work. I got a C due to my own laziness and irresponsibility.If you cant handle the first exam, drop it.

If you're not good at math, take one of her courses. I promise you that she is one of the nicest teachers and she wants you to pass. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and even drops a couple of the lowest assignments and quizes for everyone at the end of the semester. She's the GOAT of math at SMC.

Professor He was an amazing professor. She always tried to keep the class entertained and had good lectures. The were a lot of homework tho. She would give so many types of extra credits and offer so much to her students. She dropped the lowest exam and two of the online quizzes. Would hundred percent take her again!

Professor He is a really caring and wonderful teacher. She gives yo TONS of extra credit and if you do most of them you'll get above 100% grade overall. She drops the lowest exam, the lowest hw and the lowest quiz. She truly wants you to succeed. The extra credits are sooo easy. But you have to do all the homework in order to be successful.

I've never had a teacher that cared so much about his/her student's success as professor He did.ALOT of extra credit and she drops lowest scores.The only downside of the class is if you miss a day you'll be significantly behind as its new material every day.Gets a bit hectic at the end with hw/tests but stay on top of work and don't procrastinate!

So many good things to say about Professor He. She really cares about her students and loves to crack jokes. Attendance is mandatory and her lectures are mostly fill-in-the-blank with a ton of examples. Make sure to keep your exam cheat sheets so you can take them for your final. There's a crazy amount of extra credit opportunities

This professor was very unorganized and decided to take it out on the student's grade. She constantly talked in class which made us fall behind, and assigned a bunch of homework on test days because of this. She doesn't accommodate you at all, even with family emergencies. She's very nice but doesn't accommodate your emergencies like she claims to.

Had her last semester, received a good grade (Math major -stats easy, not her). She's kind and lovely, but I'd recommend taking other instructors. She's very unorganized, messy notes, announcements, and handwriting. Frequently sends announcements at random hours even midnight. If you find poor spoken grammar and accents annoying, then, avoid.

Not sure why most of these reviews are so high. But, this professor is very unorganized (overcomplicates things). Take this professor if you can teach yourself math through outside resources, because she does not teach that well. I did not feel as seen as a student, especially when communicating with her.. she often misinterprets what you say.

LOVE PROF HE She gave out note packets that u have to fill out and the homework was all online. She replaces the lowest exam grade with HW grade and drops the lowest quiz. She has a ton of extra credit. The workload was average, there was a final group project at the end. She is a little disorganized though.

To sum it up, gives a packet of notes to fill in and complete in class, gives points for answering, some extra credit, cheat sheets for tests. Don't be fooled, she is unorganized, late to midterm, rambles, confusing teaching (taught myself ALL of the material) and notes barley help, the online homework does a better job at explaining. Never again.

BEST Statistics Math Professor at SMC. You will need to attend class and participate that is the biggest part of you learning to concept of statistics. As long as you complete all assignments and pass your quizzes and exams with an A or B you will pass this class. Make sure you ask questions and attend her office hours and she gives extra credit.

Prof. Fendi is the sweetest professor ever. She genuinely cares about all her students as long as you show her that you are trying in the class. People who say this class is hard are not willing to put in the work. My advice for this class is to learn the info on your own through MyStatLab and then use her lectures to fully understand the concept.

One of the most unorganized professors I have ever had. Takes weeks or months to grade things. Hard to access outside of class and when you do talk to her in class there is always a line that can last up to 40 minutes answering questions. Grading system makes absolutely no sense. Avoid if you are trying to have a good statistics experience.

Professor, He is very kind, she cares about her student's success and it shows- with that being said this course is very assignment-heavy and fast-paced. Due to the amount of students she has, grading takes a long time and it's hard to get clear instruction. I'd recommend this course to someone so long as it is the only course being taken.

Prof. He cares for her students to not only pass but to get an A. There is so much extra credit opportunities, between handwritten work on Pearson online homework, to completing exam study guides before each exam. You will need to buy the online textbook for access code to complete Pearson homework and quizzes but text book isn't really used.

You get a cheat sheet on all the tests, and if you do all the homework, you will know how to do everything. Professor He was amazing, she was very engaging, and made class fun.

I got a chance to take this professor in winter 2025 when I arrived to the United States on the first week . Her warm welcome , easy to approach personality help me feel ease. Often times, she gives a cold joke in the middle of lecture to make sure the lecture is not intense. I got my well deserved A with her guided notes and zoom recordings.

While Professor He was caring and showed support at the beginning of the semester there was never much communication outside of class and was very hard to receive a response from. This course is exam heavy and most of the homework and small quizzes are online. They did not always match up with the exams given in class. I would not recommend.

This professor is really good, there are three tests and a final.The three tests are 45% of the grade, and the final is 25%.She drops the lowest quiz and the lowest test.Her notes are very clear, and she shows exactly what you need to remember for the exams.On regular tests, we could use two pages of notes, and on the final, we could use six pages.
