If anyone needs to take a Stats class, I would really recommend taking one from Katie. She's really chill, and pretty, and just really pleasant. She makes the otherwise boring class actually fun to go to. She explains things at a good pace and provides easy notes to follow along with. I do recommend using the ebook instead of buying a solid copy.

Katie is a very enthusiastic and motivated instructor. She is always willing to help, has a friendly attitude, and is invested in making sure your experience in statistics is not only enlightening, but fun as well as straight-forward. We used the book a fair amount but there was a bit of supplemental material (e.g. videos, printed notes)

Definitely not as hard as the course number implies. She lets you have an entire page of notes, front and back for the exams. Thorough and is clear in class, though some of the (online) homework isn't worded very well. You will rarely, if ever use the textbook. Katie is very involved outside of class and on the discussion board. Good experience.

Katie is an amazing teacher. I had her for 201 and she was a little snippy with a large lecture class, but in ST202 she really takes the time to get to know each student (its a class if about 50). She's really great at communicating whats expected and wants students to get A's. She also allows 1 note of hands written notes on each exam.

Great stats prof. ST 314 is a hard class for a lot of students, and the grades reflected that. She explains the math and charts very well, but gives out long homework that often takes a few hours to complete. The tests were relatively easy. She's also very attractive, which makes going to class always a pleasure. Definitely take her class.

Honestly, Katie is singlehandedly the best professor I have ever taken at OSU. I generally dislike math and was anxious going into statistics for the first time, but Katie made everything easy to understand with her lectures. Her assignments were generally easy to complete and not too time-consuming. She also genuinely cares for her students!
