She's very knowledgable. She is also very kind. The material is boring though. Overall a good prof.
The best stats prof I've had so far! She's super organized and explains everything very well. Shows examples in class using SAS and explains every part of the code, which is provided to you. Provides great feedback on the assignments. She's awesome.
Kelly is an amazing teacher. Very approachable, clear and available for extra assistance (I see her every week for assignment clarification and reconfirmation of learning). Assignments are due every week. No tests asides the midterm and the final exam. Attendance is definitely required if you want to pass this course, but it is not mandatory.
I switched from physics into geography, so stats was a little easier for me than the calculus i was used to, so you can ignore my "easiness" rating if you struggle with math. She allowed 1 cheatsheet front and back for the midterm, and 2 for the final which helped everyone I would think, and she was always available to talk to.
She's very knowledgeable and very kind
Nice French professor. She never creeped students.
Humble and self-confident woman.
Dr. Kelly makes like a "lady". She is courteous and decent. Serious and hard worker in the class. Wish the best for her.
Take with her. Intensive class. No anecdotes and no ramblings. She is professional. I like her.
Her class is simply : 1. informative 2. intensive 3. organized. She is the best.
I did well in MATH 4376. Kelly did hard work, and did not waste any minute on ridiculous rattlings. Bests for Kelly. Mature woman.
Very good teacher. She worked hard.
Excellent teacher. She is not the best, but surely she is a top one. I learned a lot from her course.
She was professional. I did very well because of Dr. Kelly. She did not waste time on irrelevant things.
She is the best in U of Ottawa. Very organized and impartial. Furthermore, extremely respectful. No anecdotes in class, class time is only for course material.
Some other professors must attend her class to see how a teacher can be genuinely respectful and humble.
She knows her stuff very well. Very decent and helpful. No yelling, no ramblings, and no rattlings.
Very impartial professor. She is the best out of all math professors.
The best I have ever seen. Attending class is important. She is overly professional and speaks only in class material from the first minute to the last one.
Very good girl. Extremely respectful. I recommend strongly.
Serious and professional teacher. Prepare yourself well since there is lots of homework. She was very accommodating.
Excellent professor. I did well in her class.
Her class is very intensive. You need to follow her notes in class in order to do well. Very respectful.
If you skip her class you will fail. She is overly professional, so be respectful and hard worker. I believe she is the best professor at U of Ottawa.
It was very useful class with many fruitful applications. Make sure you attend all classes.
Lots of examples and solutions. She was always available during office hours. I wish to study with her again.
Never yelled or intimidated students. I recommend strongly. She is the right selection.
I favored her class. She was extremely respectful and decent. I will try to study with her again.
Amazing class : no ramblings and no mumbling. Impartial professor. Be prepared to heavy homework.
Attending her intensive class is important. You need to write down all her oral notes. She is talented and very professional. You will absolutely enjoy her class.
Excellent professor. I plan to take with her again.
The best professor at this nice university. make sure to show in all class meetings. I liked her.
You have to attend all classes, otherwise you will struggle with her course. She is massively professional so she puts high expectations on her students. Very impartial grader, talkative teacher and articulate speaker. I wish to study with her again.
She was available most of the time at her office. Being impartial grader is one of the great things you like in her. Briefly she is best.
She treated all students equally. Very decent and respectful woman. Her course was a great addition to my program. Exams included both of open and multiple choice questions (half/half).
Great course with fruitful applications. No anecdotes and no ramblings that is why most students liked her. Reading at home is insufficient and you have to attend all classes in person if you want to pass.
Powerful professor. Final exam was somehow difficult but still I did well.
Great impartial professor.
It was a great course with Dr. Kelly. She likes real life applications. I recommend strongly.
Very organized class with useful applications. She is too decent which encouraged me to attend all classes.
Studying stat with Kelly is tasty. It was my favorite class. She was never nervous, she was always helpful, with no childish actions.
Very professional. I learned many great things on statistics from her course.
Shes amazing. Very knowledgeable and very nice. Answers questions quickly via email and discussion board on brightspace with great detail. Explains everything very clearly in a concise manner. As a bonus shes also very hot so it makes you want to go to class.
Excellent girl. She was lenient with good students and strict with lazy ones. Moreover she replies all emails quickly.
I liked her class. Her class is always informative. Super respectful girl.
Lecture is very intensive. She explains all things generously. Let us see if she is going continue on this excellent pace till December. I'm expecting to make at least 75%. Her exam questions are hot, so study well.
Exam questions are horrible. This is the first time I feel I'm learning something useful. Emblem of honesty : she does not privilege any student(s). I'm thinking to study categorical analysis with her this Winter term. I loooove her.
Very accommodating professor. She gives plenty of real life applications which makes statistics fruitful to study. Professional teacher and very self confident single girl. Exams are truly hard but you can do well if you go to class.
She never rambled. I don't need to acknowledge more excellent things on her professional teaching style. She cares students very much.
I will graduate this December. Kelly is the best teacher I have seen in my study at the university. She accommodated all students courteously and very equally. Special thanks to Dr. Kelly Burkett.
Knowledgeable prof. There is NO hand-signaling, unlike some other professors who intimidate students in class for no reason, just to keep their ego.
Excellent professor. Despite exams are very difficult, she explained course material very well which helped a lot to do well. Very courteous.
Very knowledgeable professor.
I did well in her class. Math Stat is not an easy topic and she explained all concepts in clear ways. Generally she prepared us well to higher level courses in statistics.
Elegant teacher. I enjoyed math stat with her. She tried her best to satisfy us.
Kelly is one of the best professors that I have ever had.
Of course I love to take gain with her. Exams are difficult, but she prepared us very well to all exams. So, no excuse.
Very professional professor. We had a strong course in math stat with her. She taught us deep concepts in stat inference. I will study with her again next year.
I loved her. Super knowledgeable and respectful.
she is a prof who provide detailed explanation of your questions. the midterm and final are fair enough (easier on midterm). Strongly Recommend!
Enjoyed the course with her, informative and organized
It was my favorite course. She was extremely professional. I wish that teaches all stat courses. Exams were very difficult.
I switched to her class since she is extremely knowledgeable. Students told me that she brings terrifying exams, but no problem since she is an excellent teacher. She is very decent and professional.
I have learnt a lot in her course. She was smart and decent. Definitely, I wish to study with her again.
Her exams were seriously difficult. I liked her teaching style to the fullest, since she is an emblem of decency. Go a head and don't hesitate to take with that flower teacher. You will learn a lot from her. wish her the best of best.
Exams and assignments are excessively difficult. She is the best since her course is the only one I feel I'm learning from. I wish that teaches all graduate courses to let students benefit genuinely. Above all, she is extremely decent and smart, but sometimes very tough and eccentric.
Assignments are burning. Undoubtedly, she is very elegant but I'm afraid of her upcoming exams. Strong teachers tend to make difficult questions. I enjoy her class to the fullest since she presents all applicable scopes of statistics. Overall I recommend Kelly very strongly.
Good girl. I expect to do well in her course. Assignments are difficult but still we learn a lot from her. She is engageable and accommodating. I love her course. Hope I do well in the exams.
Assignments take for ever, but he she is smart enough to ease the tense. She is decent and accommodating. generally it is useful course but you have to work hard and you need to attend class.
Shes a good teacher and professional, but I dont like the fact that the class has the R component, I find it useless and very annoying considering most of the students taking this class are science students. I heard other classes got rid of R cuz of how irrelevant it was, so Im annoyed that we still had to do it.
honestly the most boring class Ive ever taken
She's super boring and presents material in a really weird order. Her teaching style is super dry and not for me. Much easier to just read out the textbook then to attend any of her classes.
Prof told us 2 days before our midterm that all sections of this class would be writing a midterm under the same equal conditions (proctoring/closed book). Little did we know, the French section of this class is writing their midterm unproctored and open book. You know, if ur gonna promote inequality, at least dont blatantly lie to our faces.
Probably the best and most helpful Prof I have had at uOttawa so far. At some times she does overcomplicate a lot of simple ideas, but overall she's really easy to learn from. Test/Exam questions are worded super weirdly to throw you off but as long as you attend class and do practices q's you should be fine!
I genuinely fall asleep in her class, I dont entirely blame her, stats is a boring subject, but the way she teaches is so textbook, emotionless, dull, monotone. Like I said, I dont blame her, people are different, but if youre someone who wants a more vibrant stats class experience, go w someone else. Otherwise, shes an ok prof.
The biostats class is not super complicated and Dr Burkett is a good enough prof for the online format. The exams are all multiple choice but proctored. The textbook is available for free.
Honestly a really good professor - Stats can be complicated/boring at times but she does her best to stick to the basics and explains things well. Textbook is crucial for clarification and for practice questions. Assignments are an easy boost. Midterm and exam were both fair, but the wording can sometimes be tricky. Would recommend for sure!
Prof. Burkett is one of the best stats profs at uottawa! Though math stats is very hard, she does her best to give clear explanations for each topic, as well as lots of examples. Homeworks were very difficult however she grades very generously and usually grades only the easier questions. Tests were very fair. 10/10!
Course itself was not easy, she did not make it easier either. But she would try her best to explain the materials and exams were fair.
Most of Dr. Burkett's reviews call her boring, but she is really friendly in office hours. She cares about feedback and you can tell how much she cares about the course. Assignments are a great grade-booster, and the midterm was very fair. Exam was trickier, but doable. Make sure to use the textbook for practice -- class examples aren't sufficient.
Great teacher. She does her best in class to satisfy all students. Exams are fair and clear, with clear grading criteria.
Perfect teacher. She was very helpful in office hours, and she wants all students to make their best. You can learn many things from her. Definitely I recommend.
High level teacher with difficult exams. She trains all students very well. You have to work hard in order to make good grade. I love to study with her again she is perfect and decent.
She is the best professor at U of Ottawa. She makes the material very clear and understandable. She makes sure her students match, and she goes back and explains more. Definitely go to her lectures. Exam are difficult. She's the best.
The best stat prof at Uottawa she is decent
Best professor I've had to date! This single woman breaks down complex ideas into simple ones so that you don't get overwhelmed. Everything on the tests and assignments is from her lectures. 10/10
Went out of her way to make it difficult for students. Required 3 devices for quizzes (for proctoring, viewing the exam and for taking pictures) and had insane rules about the positioning of the camera for quizzes. Didn't occur to her that not everybody can afford to have 3 devices or buy a printer.Very stressful short quizzes instead of 1 midterm.
I don't know why she has the high rate like 4.6. The lecture notes are just unreadable, she just read the lecture note in every lecture. Only a few students attent the lecture.
The first name I would give her starts with a B ... (it's not her last name)
The first name I have given her starts with a B (and it's not her last name). Avoid at all costs.
