Explains material well, however, she needs to learn how to tell students to grow up-she babys the class because of the math education students who can't add 1+1.

If you're decent at math, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I walked out of 241 without learning much-- if you want to learn something that's actually meaningful (for actuarial/econ), take her for 242 or take 241 with just about anybody else. She's rather frank about her class being the easiest 241 out there, and she's absolutely correct.

Demonstrates a sense of superiority and gets oddly political with you during office hours. Lectures are quite boring and disengaging. Self-contained content, so you're underprepared for advanced probability courses. Fair exams, fair grader, and explains things well enough. Take her if you just need to complete 241 or planning to take her 242.

Dr. Sisser is always happy to explain and wants to make sure everyone in the class understands and is on the same page. She goes over a lot of examples for every topic and gives variations in every problem. Her exams are not too hard, but the final is a little more involved. She drops one test grade, which is very forgiving.

I will admit, I barely passed because I messed up on one of the midterms severely. Her exams are straightforward and are similar to the sample exam she gives. Also, I advise to please show up to class, I notice she kinda gets sad when a lot of people skip and its only like 10 people. Final is brutal however, she completely makes it from scratch.

She's definitely a great professor. 242 is mostly just memorizing formulas and methods to solve problems, if you can do that you're set. Her exam questions are definitely long and tedious and may be hard if English isn't your first language, but chances are you'll be fine. Very nice lady that generally grades leniently and wants everyone to pass.

3 tests plus final (lowest dropped with final counting twice OR final counting once if its the lowest). hw is not mandatory and its like max 6 questions. She does reviews and posts notes at the end of every class. attendance not mandatory but she explains very well if u go. gives sample tests and reviews before test. questions are straightforward.

Amazing lectures

This class was not as bad as I thought it would be. Prof Sisser is very straightforward and tells you exactly what's going to be on the exams. The homework she assigns is not mandatory, but it's good practice for the exams. The final is very involved and can be tricky. Overall, pretty good class.
