Very easy class. I took her and compared to other people I know, she is the easiest MGSC 291 teacher!

this class really isn't all that hard. most of it is from high school. she doesn't take roll, but go to class. it is easy to get lost. there is also an online tutor, ALEKS, that you have to keep up with, but it's just a repeat of what you learned in class. take her, she tries to help your grade.

Her class is not bad at all. She gives you excellent notes so there is no need to buy the notes or do homework if you are even decent at general math. Tests are all quite simple, except for the word problems. She is not that bad to listen to, but she does go through the lectures extremely fast.

really easy teacher, didnt even do any of the homework and i got an A. Didnt work hard at all because the material is easy to comprehend. Her word problems are a little tricky, but not bad. Take her if you want your life to be easier

Just about the nicest lady ever. Take her; she is very helpful and the class is pretty easy if you try.

Rough class. Requires in depth studying and a few assignments. Lots of math... standard deviations, variances, etc... statistics. Very boring material imho, but not impossible if you don't get behind. Tests are graded by hand so partial credit is possible.

Whitcomb is really friendly and she makes her class really easy. Quizzes are no brainers and automatic 10/10 and tests are easy as well. The only reason people would have to think this class is hard at all is if they don't go to class every day, otherwise an A is easy to get.

She is really nice and always willing to help. Class isn't bad. I'm really not good w/ numbers though, so I did have to study. Easy to get a B. Definitely shouldn't get lower than a C.

Very clear and helpful. She's definately the best teacher you'll find for MGSC 291. She has her own notes that she gives you (and they're a lot) but they have good examples and you'll learn from them. Her tests are clear and aren't meant to trick you. Overall great teacher.

She is the best professor, trust me. Most of the other professors keep their students late, but she doesn't- you might even get out early! The subject isn't easy, but she is very helpful!

She is very nice and knows her stuff. She is a very good teacher, she can go a little fast at times but as long as you keep up and study before exams you should do fine. She also prints out copies of ALL her notes for you. 2 exams + 1 final (which IS cumulative)+ HW and quizzes

Easy class, attendance not required. Class always gets out early. No homework, easy quizes, tests are pretty simple if reviewed.

Professor Whitcomb is the best professor for this class. She gives 2 exams, a handful of quizzes, and some excel assignments which are easy As. She also passes out VERY GOOD notes every class, which made the book completely useless. Only drawback to this class was a common final for all sections, but she can't help that. Ours did count 35% though..

Dr. Whitcomb is a very nice lady. HW is easy, tests are ok and she doesnt take attendance nor care if you show up. So take her.

Very easy. Very helpful.

This class is boring, but if you go and keep up with the notes and homework its an easy A. she doesn't take attendance so you don't have to go all the time, but if you miss a few classes in a row you can fall behind, so I wouldn't recommend never going. I missed about 8 classes all semester, and still got an A.

Take her! She is by far the easiest stat teacher. She prints out notes for you and brings them to class everyday. She really cares about the students and wants you to do well. I would recommend her to anyone who has to take this class.

Dr. Whitcomb is really easy! She prints out great notes for you, which you really don't even need the book for unless you struggle with math. Tests come straight from the notes and the grading is pretty easy as long as you study. If you're really good at math this will be the easiest A as a business core class. Highly recommend her!

Prof. Whitcomb is a pretty good teacher. Her notes are very clear and the tests aren't too difficult. It's not an easy A, but if you study a good amount for the tests it's feasible. I would definately take her again. If you are good at math this class will be easy for you. There are two tests and a final. She gives about 6 quizzes during the term.

Ms. Whitcomb is AMAZING! She prints off the notes for you, & explains everything very clearly! We had 6 quizzes, 2 test, & the final. If you study, then you can easily get an A. She really wants everyone to pass & do well. She's always willing to help too! Since she was always late to class,we didn't even make it through the syllabus! TAKE HER!!!!!

She gives out notes and has you fill them in along the way. Super easy notes to understand so you won't be behind if you miss a day of class. She is very helpful and I actually enjoyed sitting in her class. Thick Bah-ston accent. She will help you if you go to her office hours!!! I wouldn't have gotten an A in this class if I didn't have her.

Very easy class, but very boring. She gives practice tests before the tests and if you study those, you'll get a B. I'd try and take her if possible because I've heard horror stories about the other professors, I did very well in her class compared to others with different professors

Am in her class, very good professor. I will fail the class because of my own making, but I will still take her again.

She is really nice and is understanding (counted a volunteer thing I was missing class for as excused), if you do the practice test she posts you will be set up for an A on the tests. Keep up with homework and your grade will be fine.

She is a very solid, clear, straightforward professor. You have to go to class every day and do the homework but it really makes studying for tests easy. She prints the notes and its so easy to follow along. very well organized. random pop quizzes arent too hard. gives amazing study guides

If you're a visual learner TAKE HER. Her lectures are crystal clear because she gives you printed out note guidelines every class so literally if you just listen and follow along you will actually understand the material. Very nice and pretty funny too. Would take her again over other teachers who had group projects and stuff. 2 midterm 1 final &HW

Announces quizzes before they happen and only has 3 tests. Hands out packets as the class progresses which are useful and eliminate a textbook. All homework is done on McGraw Hill. Easiest class I have taken this semester. She is also funny.

Whitcomb is great. Kind of weird jokes that may make you question her sanity sometimes but she really knows her stuff. Hands out packets with everything you need to know and nothing you don't. Tells you about quizzes in advance and all homework is online. Tests are fair and not too difficult if you study some. Would take again.

Dr. Whitcomb is hilarious. Just go to class and she gives you notes. It's a super straight forward class should really be an easy A if you go to class. You don't need the textbook but you will need the online code for homework.

I took AP Stat in high school so this class was a breeze for me. She hands out notes in class that are self explanatory but it helps to go to class and fill them in with her. The tests are very straightforward and she is so so so funny.

Professor Whitcomb is a very good professor. She prints out the notes for you to fill in, is clear about what will be on the test, gives you plenty of time for homework, and tells you when quizzes are. I found it to be a challenging class because of the amount of information covered but she makes sure to review often and answers any questions.

Super helpful during office hours, uses iclicker for attendance. In-class questions aren't hard, sometimes homework can be challenging.

Whitcomb is a good teacher. She prints out notes and gives them to you. She tells you the answer to a good bit of the iclicker questions. However class can be boring but if you actually PAY ATTENTION AND STUDY its easy. Which was my class problem. Just study the note packets and youll be fine. Not her fault material gets hard usc upped the class

Class is pretty boring and I'm pretty sure she realizes no one pays attention, but just doesn't care. Nice lady though and wants everyone to do well. If you go to her outside of class she is very helpful and she also has offered multiple Extra credit opportunities. Definitely a good choice for MGSC291.

The class itself is really hard with any professor. She understands that and is very helpful and will help you in anyway possible.

Don't know why her rating isn't higher. Super dry humor that always makes the class laugh, will help you in office hours. She can't help that the class is boring and she has a monotone. Very underrated professor, take Whitcomb! Much less assignments, projects, and cases and goes at a slower pace than the other professors. Go to the data lab though

She is a solid choice for this class. It is majority statistics while memorizing the R code for each test. She is super nice, and wants us to do well and sends us lots of email reminders about due dates. She also pads the grades with group projects, cases, and homework so if you do bad on a test or two it wont kill you.

The class itself is hard and professor Whitcomb really doesn't help. However there are a bunch of easier assignments that will help get your grade up. The tests are a bit on the harder side just because the material is hard but everything else is easy. She is definitely a great person and will easily help you in person or over email.

People say the class is hard, but it really isn't that hard. The first exam that average grade was a 69. Could not tell you why, since it was the easiest exam of the semester. She curved it a lot so most people could recover from it.

The people who whined on here about Prof Whitcomb didnt want to do the work and now they are unhappy with their grades. The exams were easy if you went to class, reviewed the slides, and actually did the homework instead of just getting answers from chegg. 1/3 of the class didnt attend class regularly based on iclickers. Learning takes effort.

MGSC 291 is a hard course no matter what. However, Whitcomb makes it totally doable. Her lectures and slides she posts are incredible helpful, and she is great at answering questions. When you break her class down into not overthinking the code and just knowing what you MUST know, the class comes easy. She is one of the best professors I've had.

Prof. Whitcomb is a solid MGSC 291 choice. Obviously the class is going to be hard since it's dealing with R-coding. Whitcomb does a good job laying out the course schedule so you know what's coming. However, the class is very lecture-heavy. The tests are a pretty high percentage of your grade so you have to make around a C or better to do well.

This class isnt easy . Prof Whitcomb e wasnt as bad as other reviews made her out to be . Pretty straightforward-test , homework , cases and group projects . Test were hard but if you do well on everything else you should get a decent grade

These reviews are harsh. Professor Whitcomb isnt super upbeat and does tend to read from the slides but if you go to class and do the homework the class shouldn't be that difficult. She answers questions when you need it by email. She allowed me to switch my project partner. All in all hard subject but if youre taking it in person I recommend her.

She wasnt as bad as many of the other reviews said . Homework was not bad and between Hw, cases and projects it helps your grade as the tests are difficult .final is optional if you are happy with your grade

The best choice for 291 in my opinion. I took this class fully online with another professor and had to withdraw because it was so difficult. Professor Whitcomb is clear with her grading criteria and helps your grade out with the weight of the cases and homeworks you complete. A few manageable group projects that she posts tutorials for to help.

This class covers difficult concepts and ideas which makes the lectures very boring. The homework, cases, and projects are super easy and not very time-consuming. There are 3 tests and they can be difficult. If you do not do well on the tests you can still receive a B in the class. Professor Whitcomb is the best professor to take for this class.
