I had taken stats before in High School and lets just say shes the best statistics teacher I have ever seen. She tries to use logic so you why are you using the formulas you use. This will come in handy when you take the cumulative final. But she teaches very slowly so most of the class will understand. Her tests and quizzes are not hard.

Ive taken Prof Muniz for stats 1 and 2 back to back. finished stats 1 with a 98% and stats 2 with 99%. She´s crystal clear as to what youre expected to know for each exam. Gives extra 5 points per exam (if you need a quick save). Will work with you if you are borderline. stats 25 was 4 exams, no final. Gives you handouts that resemble the exam.

Pick Muniz. Go to Class. Complete the Handouts/Reviews. You should get an A. She's really easy and straight forward and I got a 100 on all the exams/tests. She does not require Math Lab or even the online assignments of the textbook. Don't even get the textbook unless you need extra practice problems. Just go to class and pay attention.

Professor Muniz is super great. If you take notes, do her reviews, and study the way she teaches the material, youll be more than fine. She will make sure things are clear for you.

Professor Muniz is very nice however her exams are challenging. 4 exams each exam is 25% of your grade. No HW or CW. If you are close to an A or B she will not boost up your grade even though she said she will. I was less than a point and she never gave it to me.
