Great Prof! The key to succeeding is to attend the lectures and get her notes first hand.

hard quizzes and exams..beware! i loved her class notes..she writes a lot..but it's worth it in the end..don't bother getting a textbook..her notes are sufficient

Quizzes Easy, Midterm and Final tough but fair. Very friendly and helpful. Pretty easy on the eyes!!

really nice and approachable teacher! great TA. nice notes. totally easy to understand...quizzes ..ok..midterm HARD. if u visit her to talk bout stats. she will give u better grades! final..not so bad but still HARD HARD. still adore you Nancy! thank you for C-

Quizzes are pretty easy, midterm was insanely brutal, and the final wasn't that bad. If you screw up royally, she does give you opportunities to make up for it, like bonus marks for going to get help. Even though the work is tough, she gives you as much marks as possible so you usually do better than you think. Fair prof, plus you don't need a text

Very clear teacher. I learned a lot in her course, plus there's no text and her notes are super organized. Assignments don't reflect quizzes, midterm, or final and all three can be hard. Overall, good teacher, very personable and easy to approach.

Awesome prof. The quizes are hard so you have to learn the material! She's scaring you into learning the material, like any good math prof should.

Awesome prof. Do the assignments, study the examples and you will be golden! She made class pretty fun with her examples, had clear notes, and made sure that things were easy to understand. Take stats with her.

Awesome prof! I think she is pregnant and not teaching now but if she is, take her class! She`s a really fair prof, nothing is particularily easy but she explains things very well and her notes are really clear. She`s also really friendly which is nice.

One of the greatest profs I have had for math. I enjoyed her class a lot. She was very approachable when I had questions about the material. I would definitely take another class by her but she doesnt teach higher level stats!

Clear & Concise, good prof, if your struggling go to the tutorial or go to her in person and she will explain it to you. Make sure you do your homework, cause this course may seem easy but you need to get it ingrained in your brain to pass the quizes.

You don't need a text for this class. The quizzes are fairly easy and straight forward following the examples from the class, but memorizing the flowchart and formulas kind of sucks. Watch out for the midterm and final since they deal with more theory than application which is a lot different than the quizzes. Know how to manipulate the formulas.

BEST Stats teacher EVER! extremely clear! her notes are amazing ! Quizzes and exams are fair. Do the assignment questions and you will do well. She is VERY helpful.. also gives you a chance to earn bonus marks by doing webwork questions. Overall the BEST TEACHER I HAVE HAD ! Take this class with her !

compared to other STAT profs I've had, she was the best. She had great notes. Quizzes and exams were fair, just as long as you do your work.

Nancy for stats 213 was a good teacher. She definatly has tougher quizzes, but all content is clearly covered in class. She always gives easy, medium and hard examples. I recommend her or Stallard. Both good professors.

Going into this class I had heard a lot of negative reports about Nancy but I actually found her to be a good prof. If you paid attention and take down all the example done in class, Webworks and Quizzes are no problem. The midterm and finals are tough becuase it covers a lot of true and false theory questions. Didnt buy the textbook for this cla

Good prof.Very approachable, will explain anything to you and even give more marks on quizzes if you can make a good argument for it.But Double Check your quizzes/tests, often makes mistakes marking. Don't need the text book at all.Notes on blackboard.Midterm and Final aren't EASY but pretty fair.

Nancy is an awesome prof. Despite what everyone else says I think that she gives you all the resources to ace her quizzes, tests and final. She's so approachable and she answers questions via e-mail very promptly. One of the best profs I've ever had.

You people are all such drama queens, Nancy is not NEARLY as bad as some of these comments say. Trust me, Nosal and Stallard are NO better.. In fact I much prefer Nancy to them. Sure the course itself is extremely hard, but shes NOT that bad as a professor. WebWork sucks, but it forces you to practice. Don't freak out about her, theres much worse.

I actually thought that she was pretty good... Her notes were great, and as long as you went to class with them it was easy to follow. The midterm and final were from our exact notes... So if you used them, and went to class it wasn't too hard. She was very approachable through email too, I got responses that were thorough and swift.

She's fantastic. She's very clear and obviously puts effort into teaching rather than just reading from a textbook.

You can tell she has a genuine passion and interest for what she's teaching, but sometimes she rushes through certain concepts that she finds easy, while our class is kind of left in the dust. She also very rarely ends class on time.

She does fly through the material quite fast, but if you require a prof that can give you a little motivation when you need it, she is your person! I would not have made it through the class if it were not for her.

Overall a bad teaching experience with her. She made her tests way too hard and her TA's marked them like they were trying to take off marks. She is quite disorganized as a teacher but still does an okay job of teaching the material. The Wiley Plus assignments were painfully long for only 8% of your mark. Textbook was a complete waste of money.

Straightforward notes - attendance not necessary but would recommend, mainly for clicker. She tends to spend the first 15 minutes going over things from previously class. I have yet to crack the textbook...and I got 100% on the midterm, and have got at least 75% on all the quizzes except one I bombed when I was sick, but it's best 3/4!

Great prof to get the basic of stats down. Quizzes are fair, and she is very approachable in office hours. She's extremely funny and Youtube Fridays were always the highlight of my week. BEWARE of the online Wiley assignments - they are about 50x harder than the quizzes and take hours but are only worth a small percent.

She was a great prof. Her lectures were very helpful, so many examples to help example a topic. Her quizzes were fair, but the final exam is extremely hard, compared to everything else she teaches.

Good prof especially compared to the others that teach this class (few of them speak english) class notes are very helpful, and so are the online assignments. if you go over the class notes each day you should be fine.

Great prof, not the easiest of the stats profs but she does a really good job of teaching you the theory instead of just specific problems. She likes fill in the blanks and T/F questions on her exams, also big on clicker questions. If you want to build a strong statistics background, take class with her.

I found Nancy extremely helpful after class or during office hours. She really wants you to succeed. Her lectures are confusing and found I had to get external help. however, she cares and tries her best to make sure you do well.

She is a really good teacher, her midterms are very hard but the this is because she wants you to ace the final which is easier. She wants you to do well and if you make it to the end you will.

She is a very nice teacher and willing to help. Always pay attention in class because you can fall behind easily. Finals was easier than midterms. Did not open the text book once, DONT BUY IT!!! If she saw me writing this, she would tell me to do it on MiniTab...

Sometimes doesn't explain well. Is a tough course though.

I thought she was a good prof. But she challenges you so you need to work hard. Her exams are hard but are possible if you take the time to learn the material. If you need a stronger background in stats shes great. If not maybe take someone easier... but she does write the common final so it may be useful to become familiar with her exam style.

Nice lady, but lectures are totally different from the quiz material in the labs. Tough Midterm and Final. Learn Minitab. You have been warned.

She is a good instructor, exams were fair.

She was very clear and a super approachable prof. If you go to class and pay attention with your printed out notes and add your own notes to those, this class can be easy!

Not an easy course but she is a great prof. She really wants to help you learn. Her notes are great. Midterms are hard but manageable and made the final seem easier. Study hard though and do her practise tests, they are life savers. Go to class. You can do well without doing well on quizzes so try to learn mini tab but you don't have to be a pro.

She is great! I was really struggling with the material and she was really helpful during office hours.

Her notes are really good but you also have to do questions from the text. Her explanations were so much better and shorter than the text. I was not looking forward to taking stats but she made it really interesting. Great sense of humor and she really cares about students succeeding.

Awesome! Made stats interesting which I think is very hard to do.

Dr. Chibry is just awesome!

I think she is a great prof! She is extremely helpful. I went to her office many times for help. There were only a few questions that she didn't give the complete answers to because she wanted us to do it on our own in class or outside of class.

She was so helpful during her office hours. She did make us learn some concepts on our own but she is so much better than the prof I have now. I'll be lucky if I get a C- in this next course.

Excellent prof, very helpful, stats is tough so you need to put a lot of effort. Make sure you get minicab (learn that program), and always attend labs.

Amazing professor, I am a very slow learner but with her teaching I understand everything fully and was able to receive a very good mark. You must attend every lecture and her midterms were fairly easy for me as well as the final was fair. She made the lecture very interesting although she may be a bit fast at times.

I would say that she is the best stats 213 prof you could get! She has a key understanding of the material, her expectations are clearly set and she wants her students to do well. Midterms were easy and final was fair. Has a good personality as well, would watch world cup games with us but overall great Stats prof, you won't find a better one

Great prof! The material can be tough but she tries to help students out as much as she can! She wants her students to be well and she's pretty understanding. Would definitely recommend!

She's an amazing teacher who truly cares about her students.

Lecture layout was very well done, gives a thorough example and ones that you have to be in class to fill it out but she taught very precise and she's very knowledgable. Played songs in the beginning of class, she was also funny too.

I have had her as my prof for my first year of university, I thought she was very professional and kind, I enjoyed her lectures as the time seemed to fly by, keeps you interested in class with fun "top hat" questions, as long as you have a friend to compete or work with on these in-class questions, you'll enjoy yourself as much as I did.

Not sure where her bad reviews came from but whatever it was she changed. She is a very good prof, was clear about the material and explained it rather well. I have no complaints about her other then the tests formed seemed to be a bit too long for the allotted time. But other then that fair, I would recommend this prof for sure.

STAT 213 has lots crammed into it, making it difficult for profs to adequately cover and explain everything, so be prepared to study. That said, she tried her best to explain as much as she could. Loves to help - you just may need to seek her out. Lots of participation exercises. Read the notes she posts before lectures; they're the essential text!

She's actually a good prof. Stats is difficult in general but, she explains things fairly clearly. She is very helpful if you go to office hours. Doing practice questions is key to pass this course and attending labs.

She's very nice and does everything to help her students.

An A is achievable but expect to actually study and attend lectures + labs. Chibry cares about students' grades so she marks very nice. Provides extra credit and a lot of practice examsquestions. There may be bad ratings for her but remember that she teaches first years and they are used to getting babied.

Nancy is very accessible and encourages students to speak to her both after class and during office hours. Nice marker. The downside is she teaches you how to do everything on the computer and skims through the manual parts, so you're on your own for the final.

I'm surprised her rating isn't higher! Chibry is great. Although lectures were long, her examples were interesting, and we did lots of practice questions in class. You can tell that she really cares about her students. She's always poking into the labs to make sure everything is ok, and she is always willing to answer questions.

cool

She was one of the best professors I ever had. Her lectures were clear and understandable. There is a lot of material in this class so be prepared. The course isn't difficult at all if you go over her notes. All the exams were easy. I took the course in the spring term and it was an Easy A :)

I had Nancy in the spring I was one of her class representatives. Occasionally I had a few issues, but Nancy is one of the better professors in the department. The TA's were my textbook, they were phenomenal. And there is a full hour of extra help in tutorials. Don't be deterred from Nancy, course is little hard but in all actuality she's fine.

This was a class that is hard IF you don't put the effort into doing labs, assignments or attending lectures. I found the professor to be very helpful and clearly tries to break down concepts that past students had trouble with. She is a very fair prof and would highly recommend her. Also, don't buy the textbook she uses an online one.

- She really wants her students to excel in the course - Gives you opportunities to improve (labs, tophat) - Tests are kind of hard: make sure you do the lab practice questions and the extra practice tests she provides!! - Lab test was brutal... the lab test I got had 16 questions but each question had like 3-6 sub-questions (a,b,c,d,...)

Nancy is very dedicated and compassionate towards the work she does. She wants her students to do the best they can. She's there to always help and will do little things that help all students improve their grades. Really amazing prof, highly recommend her!

Nancy does her best to explain the material, but the course itself can be quite challenging. The final exam is very hard and you'll have to study hard for it.

Nancy worked extremely hard for her students. I applaud her efforts and hope my 217 prof will be similar. Midterms were fair but still required hours of studying and reviewing practice questions. I did feel the final exam was much tougher than the midterms. The final did leave a bitter taste in my mouth but I cannot complain about my own shortcomin

Easy A if you put in even slight effort. Which I didn't....

She does activities to engage the class and this helps in a class of 300+. She takes into consideration test material based on what is covered in class. As well, she comes to watch when people take the midterm and based on that and marks she will sometimes curve the test.

Dr. Chibry is a very clear lecturer. Her examples are easy to understand and help you become accustomed to statistics. She is there to help students after class and during office hours. Chibry's midterms and lab test are pretty easy however the final is much harder as it is written by other professors. Homework is relatively easy but repetitive.

Nancy is the best prof you can get for Stats 213. She's really high up in the department so she knows whats up. She is really reasonable and curves marks when she should. You can boost your mark a lot by going to all the labs, doing tophat and doing the post-exam quizzes so make sure you do!!

STATS 321 is known to be the toughest Stats course in the department. So, it's no surprise that most students found it difficult. But Nancy is one of the most caring profs. She offers extra marks through TopHat, provides the notes to print and bring to class (answers are filled during class), posts videos of qs that can't be solved in class,etc.

Nnacy didn't write the final but her quizzes are fair comapred to the other sections. You have to watch all the videos she posts if you want to get a good mark and havent bought the book. She really wants her class to do well so she tries to bring up marks as much as she can. The class is really tough but shes one of the best profs for stats

Nancy is a good prof, fairly accessible outside class for help and a very friendly lady. She does lag behind the lecture schedule initially so some chapters may get rushed through. She mostly gets you to read the notes before class and then just works on examples during lecture. Tests are fair but looooong so don't waste any time while writing.

The sweetest person youll ever meet. Love her!

One of the best people Ive ever met. 10/10

thanks for dinner

She's good at answering questions and adjusts if a quiz goes bad. My class is always needing more time for our assignments and she usually adjusts the due date to help out. Her lectures are pretty helpful since she goes over the concepts multiple times and the TopHat quizzes help with understanding the material being learnt.

I'm not sure why Professor Chibry gets so many bad reviews, sure she goes quickly for some concepts but she often reviews concepts multiple times. She is super lenient on assignment extensions and accessible outside of class. I have never succeeded in math courses, but I went to her office hours at least twice a week, which helped me do well.

Nancy was an excellent prof. Although she goes through concepts quickly, her quizzes were very fair, and provided lots of resources to help us throughout the semester. She's also flexible with deadlines and understands her student's needs. There were a lot of assignments though, but she's a lenient prof.

Well-organized and entertaining lectures! The weekly assignments seem like a lot, but they're worth it to learn and study everything well! Take advantage of office hours, since she was super helpful! She's super sweet and honestly just wants everyone to do well - lectures were great for practice questions with tips and feedback!

She is sweet, will give extensions when needed. There is participation marks for questions answered in class, and the course is assignment heavy. Definitely need to keep up with the content, but she teaches the course as clear as possible and goes over things when needed.
