I took the distance learning class with Ms. Moen. If you don't already have an understanding of Statistics, I wouldn't recommend it. No homework collection, so points are based mostly off weekly quiz and three exams; which don't relate to the homework. You can do homework problems correctly and still stuggle with the exams.

Horrible teacher. I took her class online and wouldn't recommend her to anyone. I made it through exam 1. The online quizes were completely unrelated to the exam. She had a lab due but failed the majority of the class because we turned it in after 11am, she never set a time that it was due just a due date her attitude about it was tough luck.

This teacher AND her online class are ridiculous. She completely ignores the forum questions, tests are unrelated to homework, and assignment instructions are not clear.

Class is not mandatory, but if u miss 1 day, u r screwed. Gives a test/quiz at least 1x/week (for 2x/week classes). Lectures on diff sections 1 day prior to test/quiz. Quizzes are based on hw probs, but doesn't review often. Assigns hw but not collected. Definitely a self-taught class is math is not your strongest subject.

Took this class completely online Spring 2021, and it was a great experience. Didn't interact with Professor much as it was completely asynchronous, but the content and quizzes for the class made it very managable to get an A. Drops 5/13 quizzes with 3 midterms. I would recommend using the online notes and watching videos, reading book if needed.

This class was asynchronous for me. There are 13 chapters: 1 quiz per chapter (10 questions in 40 mins), 2 midterms (25/30 questions in 1 hr), and the final. Only ur top 8 quiz scores count and if u score better on ur final than ur midterm, it replaces that grade. Use the video notes, textbook, and practice problems to study and you will be set!!

I took her asynchronous class which had a clear grading schedule for all 12 weeks! She is a good choice to take for math as she is concise and explains topics in a very engaging and clear way! It would be great if she had longer lectures that cover most of the topics in a section instead of having 1 topic and reading the rest from the txt book :)

I would not recommend Ms. Moen, her lectures and quizzes are pretty similar but the homework (from the textbook) has little to do with the quizzes. Other than that there are no pre-made notes to fill out. The quizzes are pretty easy and there are 2-3 hours of lectures per week. The HW she assigns sometimes isnt covered by the lectures.

I would not recommend Ms. Moen, she has had more than 5 questions on the test be setup incorrectly, where I have had to email her to get credit. She assigns 80+ optional questions for homework that have little to do with the lectures or tests. And the lectures are for you to take your own notes (so there are no fill in the blank PDFs).

Grading and how the class is set-up is clear. Quizzes every week on 2-3 sections with one dropped, 3 exams with one dropped, and the final exam. Homework isn’t mandatory, so the grades are only based on quizzes and exams. The pre-recorded lectures are mainly intros to the section (good to watch), but don’t cover everything.

AMAZING COURSE! First time, I still remember what I have learned after the course ended lol. This class may be the least work-intensive of all the math classes. Only the weekly quizzes and tests will be counted to your grade. Just watch her video and take note, you will be successful. I never do half of the HW problems and still get A+.

Her lecture is alright, but i do get lost sometimes. Her homework is a lot but it’s option, some of them aren’t similar to the quizzes that she gives out. She will drop one quiz and one midterm, so it’s better to go to tutoring or watch youtube videos to understand or you can go to her office hours but it’s usually at night.

Prof. Loraine Moen's class is asynchronous, video lectures are a bit outdated, but you can speed run through each weekly quizzes on Canvas. She assigns homework only for your own practice. Your grade is based on all 11 Quizzes, 2 MT, and 1 Final, she drops the lowest. Weekly chapter quizzes (10Qs MC, 1hr timed), MT and Final (25Qs, MC 2hrs timed).

Since this class was asynchronous there wasnt much to go on with what kind of attitude this professor had but she was pretty nice every time I attended office hours. All her test and quizzes were never too hard and always felt doable which is a huge plus. She also drops your lowest midterm and quiz which is nice. She explains math pretty well.

Took her online for summer and it was alright. 30-minute video lectures that are really old but really helpful in completing quizzes. Make sure to take practice quizzes from the modules as they are similar to actual quizzes. The textbook comes free on CANVAS or De Anza's website. Most assignment due dates are due on Thursday so be aware.

Class was online/async. I don't feel that the resources and materials that Prof. Moen provided were adequate. Her quizzes and tests (which were the only things in the grade) were harder than what was in the notes or videos provided; I often felt like I was lacking an adequate understanding of the material, and had to ask others for help.

For an asynchronous math class, it seems pretty intimidating but her videos are straight to the point (although she makes some mistakes it doesn't hinder the learning process). If you need an easy math class I'd recommend. The videos are can be around 15 - 30 mins long and there's multiple of them for each unit. The group project is also simple

Your grade is based off quizzes, exams, final, & groupwork. There's 8 quizzes & 3 tests, but she drops one quiz & one exam. Quizzes are based directly off homework & you can get extra points on exams. You can use 3x5 flashcard for the final. She lectures well, just make sure you practice a lot. The final had 25 questions (2 were bonus)

Great Prof. She gives quizzes with questions pulled from the homework. Exams are straightforward, she doesn't put any annoyingly tricky questions and there's a bonus q. Make sure you come to class because she assigns group work which is 10% of your grade. Group work is helpful to prepare for exams. Her class is chill and she was nice.

Teacher has no lectures of her own, she uses dated YouTube videos that only teach you half of what you have to know for a chapter. Homework is optional and not graded, but none of the homework questions are what you get tested on the weekly quizzes. Your grade: weekly quizzes, midterm and final. If you mess up, your grade will take a severe hit.

She's a 3.5 tbh. This professor is just OKAY. Pros: No mandatory HW, extra credit on exams, drops lowest exam and quiz, concise video lectures. Cons: Poorly explains deep concepts (I had to supplement concepts using yt videos), quiz/exam time too short imo, sets quiz/exam questions wrong sometimes (email her). Mid: MCQ everything, 9PM OH.

I liked the way she taught her Stats class, she provided the textbook which was nice, only thing required was a calculator. What sucked was not having a canvas portal so i could not see ANY assignments or quizzes and of course my grade although this was an in-person class that was kinda annoying. But she was easy to reach and makes stats fun.

She is very clear when she teaches and uses a lot of examples which help when studying and doing homework. Attendance does matter because if you miss a lecture it gets a little confusing.

Took her async class for intro to stats. A fairly easy class overall if you do some of the homework problems before taking the quizzes. The videos are pretty helpful considering how old they are.

Really great professor overall, doesn't have a canvas page so you have to keep track of your grades. Homeworks aren't graded but are rather asked in quizzes. Midterms are fairly easy, they follow the same concepts as what she taught. Finals are with a scantron and a 3x5 cheat card. Groupworks ~x1 a week to prep for quiz/midterms. Have to study alot
