Professor Negar is excellent. Her lecture slides are easy to navigate, and her explanations are clear. She is always happy to answer every question in class and usually replies to emails the same day. She even immediately responded to my emails late in the evening. She supports her students. My advice is, take notes, practice, and ask for feedback.

Negar is a great prof overall as she takes time to explain each concept thoroughly. The midterms and assignments were fair as most of the questions were similar to her lecture slides. There also wasn't much work outside of class other than 3 assignments for the whole semester. Decent prof if you can easily grasp statistics concepts.

Honestly, statistics is a difficult course but in my humble opinion, I think She did a really good job explaining the material and simplifying the concepts. She is very thorough and did tons of practice questions and goes through everything step-by-step. If you read the lecture slides and review the recorded lectures, then you should be fine.

Not worth it at all. She makes a lot of mistakes while explaining her material in class. The explanation is poorly delivered. The course itself is challenging but the professor's job is to make it easy which Negar just cannot. She hosted online classes on the hardest chapters, definitely not considerate of students learning and money spent. AVOID

Please do not take this class with Negar. It's one of the important classes for econ and stats students and concepts built in bus232 will be helpful later. Her classes are boring and confusing. You will waste time going to class and most students leave class halfway thru since she just can't explain. She is a good person, just not a good teacher.

Negar's lectures are incredibly hard to bear through as her accent makes it hard to understand what she is teaching. I advise to just read the textbook and master the content yourself instead as that is what worked for me. I went to only one or two lectures over the course of the semester. Just do practice problems and you will do well on the tests

Negar has the potential to be a really good prof. She explains the concepts clearly, however, she does so blandly.

She does provide a good amount of material to study, but some of the solutions could have more detail to them.

Negar was a pretty good lecturer, especially given it was her first time teaching BUS336. The exams are pretty straightforward and closely related to lectures.

The professor doesn't know how to teach at all and doesn't even know the course material itself. She rushes through the stuff without teaching a single thing properly. When someone asks any valid question regarding the course, most of the time she just answers with "I don't know" and moves on, without providing any clarification.

Really great prof. She starts every lecture with 30 minutes of review from last class with problems, which helps to remember previous material. She does a ton of practice problems in class and explains them well. Midterm and final were not that difficult because she gives you a comprehensive formula sheet, literally just plug numbers in.

she records all her lectures, goes over multiple examples that are similar to exam questions, answers any questions asked during lectures/office hours and final is non cumulative. She's very understanding and nice to students, the only thing is she doesn't respond to emails and there's not enough time during exams, otherwise she's a great prof!

Honestly a solid professor. Lectures were recorded for convenience and participation was rewarded. My biggest gripe is that the course is heavily backloaded: A midterm, 2 quizzes, 3 assignments, a report and a hackathon. The first half only had 1 quiz, 1 assignment and 1 midterm. The pacing of the class hurt the quality.

Negar is a caring prof who does her best to make hard course material easy to learn. Her tests are clear and similar to the practice questions from lectures. the group projects can be rough if you dont choose ur group mates carefully. read the instructions for the projects thoroughly and be sure to get help in office hours.

She's a great professor and makes difficult information very easy to digest. She doesn't mind repeating herself and changing how she explains something. She's flexible with deadlines as well. Very caring, patient and passionate. 100% would recommend.

her lectures are so easy and the assignments are so hard that you can barely use her lectures to supplement and do the assignments. Have a topic on our midterm that we didn't even get to learn yet in class? Her practice midterm questions are also much harder than the lectures as well so have no clue what to expect with exams

Good lectures that are easy to follow, but they're not applicable to the quizzes, assignments, or midterms because she makes the content significantly more difficult for those. Question prompts are unclear and there are a lot of assessments and assignments compared to other courses. 30% of your grade comes from group work, so choose carefully!

She is a decent prof, atleast she records the lectures so you can listen to them on 2x speed. Exams are very very long but not necessarily hard. Classes are not worth going and rather boring.

She is one of my favourite profs at SFU. Her lectures were very informative and she went through all of the concepts in great detail. If anyone had any questions, she wouldn't hesitate to go back and re-explain until you had a good understanding. She's very knowledgable in the subject, and therefore made an amazing teacher. She made stats enjoyable

Negar is by far one of the best profs I've had at SFU. She really cares about her students and is always willing to give help. She encourages participation in her lectures and as a reward, it can boost your grade. The lectures were very straightforward and reliable for the exams. There are group assignments that are very beneficial for learning.

Very sweet and straight-forward professor. She was great at breaking down difficult concepts into easy-to-understand pieces. She lets you know exactly what will be on the midterm and final (no surprises). The course is tough but as long as you do the practice questions that she provides (along with the slide questions), it will be fine!

She is one of the best professors at SFU, and very very caring. The fact that the lectures are recorded goes to show how much she cares about the students, exams are very fair, and during the lectures, she will often explain and emphasize specific topics that will be tested in the midterm and final. She makes statistics so interesting and easy.

Negar is great. Her lectures really do help understand the material, and she takes the time to explain more complicated concepts in detail. Super nice person, too. My only complaint is that she could be more careful with her wording/grammar on quizzes/assignments/exams. Sometimes it can be hard to understand what the question is really asking.

One of the best professors I've had! The way that she teaches makes all the concepts very simple and easy to understand. You can tell she wants everyone to do well. The midterm and exam are somewhat difficult, but if you practice the questions/problems she goes over during lecture, you'll do good. There's no surprises on exams, they're very fair.

I don't think she is suited to teach for this course; she is teaching 373 for the first time. I have taken 232 with her; she is so great and familiar with that one, but this one is not! Very short time to take a quiz with so much work is suck! Choose another prof.
