For my class we ended up doing a sort of hybrid class, which I did not like. We had to watch her lecture videos before every class, which was a bit much but was not terrible. Overall she is a pretty good professor, but she is quite difficult. I believe about 50% of my class dropped out before the deadline.

Professor Montgomery is single-handedly one of the sweetest and most caring professors at this school. I have endless positive regard for her. She cares so deeply for every one of her students. Her passion for statistics is tangible and inspiring. She wants to help you. If you put in the basic effort and communicate decently, you will pass.

Anyone on her that says she is difficult must honestly have a hard time being a college student. Prof. Montgomery made this class as easy as it can be. She provides online lectures you can watch before class, which she DOES NOT need to do. She does that because she understands some students will benefit from them. I loved her as a professor.

Rating a 1 star is a bit dramatic imo. Find a good group, homework is easy if you use the study packet next to it. The tests are similar to homework and she literally tells you the type of questions and how many will be on the tests.
