her class is very tough, but she explains things extremely well

The material is difficult but she explains it well.

The best prof! Very friendly and makes material extremely clear!

She's loud and crazy, but you get M&M's and she knows what she's doing!!!

you won't leave class w/o understanding the material or w/o M&M's

If you dont understand ask, she's very good one on one.She made class easy!

She's the best. If you can pass mth110, this class is a breeze

Nice..talks way too fast..teaches to smart kids best

she is a good prof, but you have to be a fast talker to understand her!

All I can say is that its a damn shame that she got married, I love her sexy bod

They don't get much hotter, or easier than this

Lots of handouts--don't fall behind!! Great for one-on-one help, always ask &#6

easiest class i've had here - she give's you formula sheets for tests

Stay VERY alert. She's quick!

She was very helpful. I suck at math but with her help I got an A.

Take stat 216 if you want to spend every waking hour doing homework.

goes kinda fast, good professor, hard tests

teaches fast but gives great notes, pay attention and you'll be fine

Her notes are awesome...do practice problems before quizzes.

not sexy at all, talks too fast, needs to slow with the caffeine

puts all notes on BB, very nice, very clear, very helpful . . .

excellent prof., moves fast but is very fair. doesn't try to trick you on tests

sorta fast, easy, quizes every week straight from take home handout

easy class, not even real math. will help if you need it.

Great teacher, easy tests and quizzes...if you have to take this class get this prof.

Enjoyed the class. Her voice can get to you. If you do the homework, you will do ok. Final was insane, but she did curve the grade to make up for it. Hottest guy in the world was in that class with me; that made it even nicer! ;)

Great Prof. Very clear and eager to help you. Tests are easy and so are the quizes if you do the handouts. If you take this class get this prof!

No complaints. She explains things pretty well. Do the homework and you'll do fine on the tests and quizzes

great teacher. very organized and does her best to make sure students get good grades. she gives alot of easy points out. if you put a little work into her class its an easy A

Easy class and helpful teacher. Moves kinda fast but you have plenty of time to pick it up. Grading is spelled out and if you do the homework you can use them on the quizzes.

Good professor, homework every week, quizzes every week but they are really easy, tests are easy, the final was hard and long. The lab part of the class is a joke.

Good professor... lots of homework and quizes but they are easy and help your grade a lot. Tests arn't too bad and the lab is just easy points.

Easy professor. Gives formula sheets to use on tests to make studying much easier. She drops low quiz and lab scores to help your grade.

She's pretty cool, especially since she loves to talk, so she is usually chipper even when she has a migraine. Sometimes she gets headaches so bad she gives everyone an A on the homework. Everything is pretty much self explanatory. I had her for a night class, and despite the 3-hourness, it wasn't too bad, considering I never liked Stats anyhow.

Made stats easy. Can keep track of your own grade. Types homework problems and spaces to do it in. She types your notes ahead of time and you go to class to "fill in the blanks", kind of. My only complaint & the only part I had problems with were the Tests. They're pretty hard, "tricky", mostly. I suggest seriously studying for them. Nice lady tho

Great teacher! She really made stats easy to understand. Extremely helpful both inside the classroom and out. Very willing to cater to students needs. The two weeks of snowdays made the first test a bit difficult, but if you go to class and do the homework its an easy A.

Pretty easy class, although she wouldn't directly take attendance she knew if you were there or not by collecting work. She gives cookies and other treats for different data collections

I took a night class which might be the way to go for this class. Prof. Hower does a great job explaining statistics as well as what will be tested. Fairly easy class if you do the homework. Labs that my little sister could do make up a big chunk of the grade. Tests are easy to study for and not too challenging. Take prof. Hower for STA 215.

She is pretty awesome. She is a good teacher in general. She has outlines of her notes posted on BB so you don't have to write EVERYTHING down. She goes at a quick pace, but it keeps you awake. No surprises on the tests. Easy if you understand and look over your notes beforehand. Cool sense of humor as well.

Verrrry easy class. She gives you everything you need. Take her I heard other stats teachers are ridiculous. Good teacher.

You hear the horror stories about stats but she is probably the best one to take!! Everything is posted way before hand so those organized people can get everything within the first few days. Quizzes are your homework questions (with the help of your homework!). For tests, she gives little sheets with all the formulas... take her!!!

I took this class one day a week for three hours and I would recommend it. The class rarely goes for more than two hours. She has fun in class activities for extra points, she gives you formula sheets for tests, and she lets you use homework on quizzes. Her lab instructions are very easy to follow. This was a fun and easy class! Take this professor

I really liked this class. Professor Hower makes learning Stats a lot of fun. You use your home work for quizes and she gives you a sheet with the formulas on it for tests. I recommend her, especially for those who are not math majors. She is a good teacher.

Good teacher, funny and makes class go by. Gives formula sheets for tests. Requires you to know everything, but is fair and reasonable.

I was dreading this class, as it was my 2nd time taking the course. She explains the material in a way that is easy to understand, tells you exactly what will be on her tests, and gives formula sheets. Labs and "quizzes" boost grades in her class a LOT. Homework assignments are the quizzes, so DO YOUR HW! I recommend her.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK. quizzes are pretty much every week and are copied straight from the homework she assigns. Quizzes are awesome grade boosters. Great prof, I'd recommend her to anyone, even if you aren't interested in the course.

Do the homework, go to class, make friends with her. She is a super energetic person with a great heart. Decently easy class with respectable tests. Highly recommend her as a professor.

Best stats teacher available! Take her!! Easy class, do the homework because she lets you copy from it on quizzes. Tests are easy. And she tells funny stories all the time that take up 20 minutes of class.

She is a really good professor. She posts the outlines to the in-class notes on BB. Weekly quizzes are the exact problems from the homework and she will let you use the HW on the quizzes, so do the homework! Labs are super easy. Gives formula sheets for every exam. Attendance isn't mandatory but you should go to get the notes. Overall, good prof!

This class is easy which is good. She lets you use your homework on the quizzes which are questions from the homework itself so if you do the homework ahead of time, you've basically already taken the quiz. Only downfall is she talks too much about things that have nothing to do with the class which can be annoying and boring.

Who knew that teaching something as foreign as statistics could be so enjoyable? Her teaching style is direct and simple, her examples are engaging, and her rules are fairly relaxed. If you show up, take notes, and turn your labs in, you will pass. I wish she taught all of my other classes (I'm a BMS major) because she is absolutely wonderful!

Hower is interesting. She's a fantastic, nice, funny woman. She always keeps it light and likes to joke around. Stats can be hard. However makes it pretty easy. While she may be on the unorganized side, she explains things well. You have a few days to do the homework and then you just copy your homework answers onto the quiz. Tests are pretty easy.

Take her for stats!! She made the class enjoyable and was always cracking jokes to ease the mood. She makes all her expectations for quizzes and tests crystal clear. As long as you do the homework and pay attention in class, you will definitely get an A.

Professor Hower was one of the best professors i've ever taken. I hate math but she made statistics fun and relatable. she's a fun professor but also knows what shes talking about.

Jennifer Hower really appreciates that students do in fact have other classes going on. She does give homework a lot, but none of it is mandatory. She does give quizzes about once a week though. The quizzes consist of the exact same problems as the homework, so if you did that, you are allowed to use the homework on the quizzes.

Prof Hower was so nice, but she was very unorganized! This did not affect my grade whatsoever, though. She cares about you succeeding, tests are easy, homework optional but can be used on all quizzes (quizzes are HW questions rewritten). One project that was NOT hard at all! TAKE HER! I HATE math and she made the class easy and interesting!

Professor Hower is one of the best professors I have had so far at Grand Valley. She truly cares about how her students do. I am terrible at math but she explained everything really well during class and always clarified if students had questions. I would take her again if I ever had to take another statistics class

Professor Hower gives you outlines for every chapter she covers. You can use your homework on the quizzes which are literally the exact same as the homework questions. Only three tests total. One project that you can finish within 3 hours. Only downfall is she tends to ramble on about her weird family for the first 10 minutes of every class.

Wonderful Professor, your quizzes are your homework so just make sure you get those done and you have an easy 100% on those. She prints off detailed notes for you so not much is required. Super nice and helpful, and is one who is known to cancel a class or two. Overall great prof, makes class very easy.

Professor Hower was the best prof i've had at grand valley so far. She rambles a bit but she's a really quirky person and wants you to succeed in her class. Quizzes are literally just the homework word for word. 3 tests but you get a formula sheet for each as well as the final. Probably the best stats prof at grand valley.

Professor Hower is by far the nicest professor I have had at GV. She really cares bout her students and wants you to know the material. If you need help, she is always available after class and really wants you to succeed. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HER. SHE IS AWESOME.

I would highly recommend Professor Hower. She is a very clear and helpful professor! Weekly quizzes that can be copied straight from the homework assignments. Three exams plus a final. Fill-in-the-blank notes that you can print from Bb and bring to class, plus she posts TONS of helpful material on Bb. Only downsides: loud talker & likes to ramble.

Prof. Hower was super nice and the class was very simple and straightforward. She did tended talk about her family a lot, but i thought that it was funny. You can use your homework on the quizzes and she takes the question directly off the homework for the quizzes.

Even if you don't like statistics, she makes the class easier and interesting.

Prof Hower made stats very manageable. Posts notes on bb to print off before class. Never tried to trick you on tests, they were very straightforward. We took weekly quizzes but it was straight from the homework. She's a solid pick for stats.

Hower is the most caring and genuine professor that I have ever met at Grand Valley. She truly is one of a kind, you have to get past her stories and all of the side tracks thoughts. Although, even through that, she honestly cares so much, and is willing to help her students no matter what is going on in her personal life, or theirs. Incredible.

A really good choice for STA 215! She tells you what you need to know and how you need to do it. Simple and easy. Definitely worth trying to get into her class!

Take her!! She is the most caring prof Ive ever had. She talks about her personal life but I dont see anything wrong with that since shes so funny. She calmed me down several times when I was stressed and always made sure I understood the material. Tests are straightforward and labs are so easy.

Professor Hower really knows how to explain stats. She is really bad at replying to emails, sometimes it has taken over 6 days for her to reply. You will do a lot of labs, 3 tests, 1 quiz, 1 project, and a final. She is extremely funny and cares a lot about her students.

By far the easiest and most awesome stats prof. 3 tests 50 points each. Show up to lecture, do the labs, study the night before and do the review, youll get an A. Easier and nicer than any other stats prof at GV. She makes the cheat sheets for you and is absolutely hilarious in class. Put in below average amount of work and you're golden

I would recommend Professor Hower to students who don't good in math, or think they won't do a good job in Stats. If you do the bare minimum you will pass, and if you push a little harder you can easily get an A. My only complaint is when we switched to remote learning, she was hard to reach. She only responded back to a few of my emails.

This class was pretty easy and straightforward. She gives clear notes with good examples and is willing to help with any confusion. However, prof. Hower got off topic a lot and showed up to class.

Professor Hower shares a lot of personal information but I don't see a problem with it. She is very straight forward and the material is easy to follow! If you do the homework and pay attention to lectures you will pass!

As far as professors go in a math department, Professor Hower is a fair choice when taking stats 215. As other people have said, its an easy A class, provided you review the material she gives out. easy tests, easy labs, lectures can be boring and its easier to look at the lecture notes she provides ahead of time. nice but can get distracted easily

This class was pretty easy all around. Homework assignments were open for the entire semester and you had unlimited attempts. Tests were pretty much exactly like the notes and pretty straightforward. I would recommend going to every class and taking the notes because if you don't it will be very easy to get confused.

Professor Hower is a great choice for STA 215. She's hard to reach through email so it's best to go to class and ask questions there. If you ask for extra help she is always willing to meet with you for as long as you need, one on one. She was extremely helpful with working through homework problems with me which is great.

Jennifer Hower is the best stats professor you could take. She makes the material so easy to learn and allows for absolutely zero stress. As long as you do the homework, you will pass easily! Take this professor if you are looking for an easy stats class.
