This class is a total waste of my time. The lectures are totally useless and I learned nothing from them. Perfection is required and it is easy for you to not do well in the class (failing exams with NO CURVES???????????????). If you can, please take another professor. I mean it. I made a horrible decision by taking this class. DONT RUIN YOUR GPA.

Where do I begin. The fact that she has an old RMP with a 2.4/5 rating from decades ago shows she hasn't changed one bit. Jumps all over the place, doesn't make sure students understand, goes fast on completely new topics. I just don't know. You cannot understand her. Her exams also have NO CURVES, WHICH WAS REALLY ANNOYING. DONT RECOMMEND.

Rutgers statistics department are on something man. How are all the stats professors here just so horribly rated. I dropped this stats class because I knew that without any curves (with failing exam averages), her terrible teaching style, heavy accent, unorganized teaching, constantly late, repetitive style, I would tank my GPA. Just take Stats I..

Gives random assignments and grades them LIKE A MONTH LATER. I got an email 2 days ago about an assignment I did in october. She also is a bad professor. DONTTAKE

I needed this class as a prerequisite to switch majors.

My hope of starting this next semester doing the major I wanted is now gone. Also couldn't choose a worse date for the "final".

While not the best professor, she definitely isn't the worst. If you really try to listen to her, she's actually smart, and you can tell. It is difficult to understand her, but I feel like it isn't fair to review bomb her for it because she is actually very knowledgeable. If you self-study, the class isn't too bad, but people just don't bother to.
