She is one of the best professor. I loved her teaching style. If you want to take any class related statistics you must go with her. She is the best choice.

Pretty good prof! Can go a little fast for the notes but she always posts her lectures so you can go back and look. Overall recommend. Easy class

Amazing prof. Makes learning so much easier, especially with school being online. Her lectures are note heavy but she explains everything perfectly! If you do miss class its not a problem, she posts every single one of her lecture notes so you dont miss anything! Would definitely take a class with her again.

Unless you're absolutely terrible at math and her one on one time doesn't help, you won't need a textbook. Gives you incredible feedback, makes sure you understand, gives you a formula sheet to put whatever you want on. 10/10. Loved her.

Wouldn't take again

Doesn't answer emails when you ask for help. Gets annoyed when you ask questions in class. During lecture, she really gives off the impression that she hates her life and doesn't wanna be there but honestly same.

Lots of homework
Participation matters
