This class is an easy A if you show up & just follow along her guided notes. She does add points to your grade if you miss less than two days. There is homework on connect math, easy. Tests are very straightforward. She is very understanding that you have other responsibilities and lets anyone who has a 95 average exempt the final exam. TAKE HER!!

Print her notes, show up to class, and ask questions. Easy A. She makes the material easy to understand. Test(there are 3)/quiz questions are similar to problems worked in class. Online homework is an easy 100 if you take the time to do it(hint: you can rework problems until you get them right before submitting). If you average 95, final exempt.

One of the best math teachers ever, if you listen and print the notes, and take the weekly quizzes/homeowrk online you will do fine. If you miss less than 2 classes she bumps your final grade 1 point. If you have a 95 after the midterm you exempt final and dont have to come back!

Gives extra credit opportunities, if you have a 95 or above you exempt the final, she drops 2 lowest quiz grades, replaces low exam grade with final exam grade. Awesome teacher!!! Homework on Connect Math. She will pass you if you show up and try.

Mrs. Carder is a great professor. She has guided notes posted on D2L for all lectures. Tests are straight forward and she lets you use a notecard with formulas and terms. Lowest quiz grade is dropped, final can be exempted if you have a 95% average or above. Easy class and an easy A for ANYONE! Show up and you will pass!

Carder is the greatest professor I have had at KSU so far. She is very passionate about stats and knowing your teacher actually cares about what shes doing makes it much easier to learn. The material was not too challenging but she always makes sure everyone understands everything and always offers her time after class to help.

Professor Carder was the most amazing professor I have had so far. She strives every lecture to fully explain the material in a way that is easy to understand. I am not good at math at all, but she makes learning math easy and actually kind of fun. Her tests resemble her lectures and there are no surprises as to what to expect. 100% recommend!!!!!

Mrs. Carder's focus is on helping students genuinely understand the material, and it shows -- through the notes she provides, the way she lectures, and her willingness to provide additional help/examples. This was truly an enjoyable class, and I learned a lot of information I believe I will actually use. I can't recommend Mrs. Carder enough!

Professor Carder makes this class a breeze. She makes it clear what will be on the test and she gives plenty of opportunities for extra help outside of class. It's clear that she cares about her students and that she wants them to succeed. I would 100% recommend Professor Carder if you need to take this class, she makes STATS easy for everyone.

Ms Carder is incredible! She gives lots of opportunities to ask questions and deepen your understanding. If you have a 95 average after the last unit test, you get to exempt the final. Homework is on connect math, but she gives you more than enough time to finish it. Attendance isn't mandatory, but her lectures are very helpful as you fill in notes

I love Prof Carder so much!! This was my first time taking statistics ever and she made it so easy and simple to understand. She allows us to use flashcards on our tests, and the homework is pretty straightforward. I recommend printing out her notes to save time and understand the material much easier. Overall, she is an awesome teacher! Take her!

I LOVE PROFESSOR CARDER! If you have to take STAT 1401, please take it with her. She provides so many resources to help her students succeed. Most classes this semester were online due to COVID, and she did an awesome job with her online lectures. Class is easy if you do all of the guided notes and watch lecture videos. Her guided notes helped alot

She genuinely cares about her students and wants to see you do well. If she sees you putting in the work the she'll help you out. Let's you use a half piece of paper to write notes on for quizzes and exams. Weekly homework.

TAKE HER !! This semester our class changed to hybrid, but she still managed to give us the opportunity to learn all the material really well. She gives so many resources for her students to succeed and she really cares about each and everyone in the class. She may come off as strict at the beginning, but she is doing that for the own good of us !

Prof Carder is great! I took AP stats in HS and didn't understand a thing, but Prof Carder made stats easy! Everything was explained well in her lecture videos posted every week for the chapter along with some hw on ALEKS. If you had any trouble understanding, she will definitely help you out! Go to class 1x a week. 3 exams, 1 final, & extra credit

She was an excellent professor who made the best out of a hybrid situation. There was a quiz over every "chapter" but you really don't need the actual textbook, just access to the homework site. She did prerecorded lectures that really went in-depth and allowed you to skip what you didn't need clarification on. Tests were straightforward and easy.

This professor made stats so easy for me! She always recorded class and posted the recordings on d2l so that you can review them in case you forgot/missed anything. Attendance is mandatory, but she understands if you have to miss class. Very chill teacher and she's easy to talk to. Super kind and she responds to emails. I recommend taking her class

Shess awesome, she does everything she can to help you pass and gives tons of extra help and credit

She helped us understand statistics but it sometimes became a burden to have to learn so much material in a crammed manner. She was awesome as a person, but you have to pay attention and ask questions to fully understand it. You can't miss out on a few days or you'll be lost. Great professor though, very understanding and willing to help.

Professor Carder is an amazing, flexible, and understanding professor. She was really nice about extending due dates when any of us were struggling with the material, and I never felt lost despite it being math! Tests and quizzes were lockdowns taken through ALEKS!

Carder explains EVERYTHING in a way that you can easily understand, and if you don't understand it, she will find a way to help you understand it. I HATE math, and she led the way for an A in this class. TAKE HER!!!!! She is the best!!

I have never used excel in my life but she made it so easy. The midterm and final take a long time but are easy if you pay attention in class. She does a great job of teaching excel and helping students understand it. Take her.

Shes great, you just have to ask her to be more in depth if you arent sure about a topic but shes really inclusive and makes sure to ask the whole class if they are ready to move on.

She is an amazing professor who's helpful, but you really have to work hard to make sure you have a good grade. While attendance wasn't mandatory, you're going to want to be there for every class, otherwise, you'll miss out on a lot and it'll be hard to pass. The course was pretty project centered, just put in effort and it should work out fine.

This was the first year of the DATA1501 class, but she did a good job with it. There were two main projects (midterm and final) and some assignments in between that weren't very hard. I recommend going to class because if you miss one you'll be so far behind. But she is VERY caring and if you communicate with her, she helps as much as you need.

Professor Carder was nice, funny, and a good teacher to follow. She lectured based off notes we could before class and was accessible for office hours. She was upfront about the importance of attendance and rewarded those who attended, through an extra credit system but didnt penalize those who didnt attend. I would take her again and recommend!

I am usually terrible at math, but Professor Carder did a great job at explaining concepts. She was nice and approachable, and willing to help. Like any class, you have to put in the work, but I highly recommend taking her!

She is a great professor and really good at her job. It's almost as if she is too good though, she is very tough when it comes to grading and most times comes off as arrogant. I would take this class again for her teaching skills but her delivery is terrible! She is lecture heavy in the beginning but it eventually starts to lighten up.

If you have any excel experience it can be a breeze. If you do not have much excel experience and do not know how to run the tests, just show up to class and it is all in the lectures. If you miss anything, it is easy to catch up using the lecture manual provided. She cares about the material but grades on effort more than anything.

Ms. Carder is honestly the best professor I've had at KSU. She's strict yet reasonable with her material. She's very chill and often hilarious. This class is very technical and relies heavily on groups projects. The homework is pretty consistent but not hard. As long as you stay on track, it gets pretty easy. I'd take this professor any day.

If you are not a strong math students Data science 1501 is it. the course heavily relies on excel. Professor Carder is a really good teacher and understands what students are trying. however you have to show up to class . beware of projects as 80% of the grade is determined by them and you have 2 project both being group project.

Stats is hard so just try your best. She was nice and would let us do things at our own pace if we asked. I enjoyed her but it was difficult. She lets you be exempt from the final if you have an A or even like an 88.5.

This class is extremely excel heavy. If you don't have prior knowledge of excel it can be very challenging to get a hang of it. She has 1 assignment and 1 quiz almost very week. She has a rubric posted for all assignments so it is very easy to make a 100 on them. Quizzes overall are easy as long as you are paying attention to her PowerPoints. Easy

Professor Cadar is understanding, and she is willing to explain the steps to you. The midterm is like what you did in class. Please attend to tutoring because they will help you with your assignments. Attendance is Mandatory. Each week we have a assignment and quiz. Please pay attention in class and you will pass the course.

Online, summer, Data 1501. Ur effort will be noticed. She gives insanely clear instructions. #'s are difficult for me to stomach, but she taught them WELL, even made me enjoy them in her class. I genuinely think having these basic data skills will make me a more valuable worker,&I'm even excited to further them on my own. Thank u over & over again!

Carder created this course so she can be very knit picky at times. We were her guinea pigs so I know things will change up. Expect to have homework outside of class work because we did not have it. Follow along and go to the TA's she provides. They help A LOT. They helped me get an A.

Don't listen to all the negative comments. If you just put in a little effort to this class then its really not bad at all. Everyone on here is just upset because they had to actually do some work and use their brain in the class. You will become very proficient at excel. Decent bit of busy work but as long as you go to class its really pretty easy

Yes, there are a lot of assignments in this class but she tells you step-by-step what to do with everything. It's a very easy class if you go to class and do the work. She is a great professor that really cares about her students and their success. She drops a few of your lowest grades at the end as well as extra credit throughout the semester!

The class does have lengthy assignments but she provides step by step videos and extra help anytime you need it. She is willing to go the extra mile to help students understand concepts and even offers to meet in person or virtual. I struggle with math and this class was easy compared to other math classes. Definitely recommend! Just work smart!

Highly recommend this class if you're not good at math b/c it mainly uses Excel. The homeworks are time consuming but Prof. Carder is very helpful b/c she provides lab helper videos to help understand the homework better and highly recommend giving at least a few days in advance to do the homeworks to make the workload manageable.

Would take her class again if I needed to. If you don't have an A in this class, you aren't trying. She posts a lab helper video for every assignment, and it shows you exactly what she wants to see and shows you how to get started. Her quizzes are short, but if you study the powerpoints you'll be fine. She also gives great feedback on assignments.

I took Mrs. Carder for this semester and she was amazing. She responded to questions in a timely manner. She also had lectures and lab helper videos available. I would take her class again.

The class was very well-organized, straightforward, and interesting. Tons of resources available to you, the labs all have video guides as well as practice workbooks, recorded lectures, and slides, even tutoring that's easy to access. Need to attend class and try not to fall behind in assignments because they all build on each other.

She is really good and actually helpful when showing you things on excel. I think she is the best professor of this course since she created it. It would be a very difficult class if i didn't attend like some of the material is a lot of work. She always gives great feedback on homework to prepare you for midterm and final project.

She's a touch grader but overall a really great professor. I enjoyed her class and actually thought it was fun. She is very detail orientated so make sure you do it exactly as she has it written but she is super helpful and really understands how to help you learn and not just talk at you.

I would 100% take this professor again. Class is mandatory, but if you go you will know how to do the homework. She is very detailed in her assignments but gives you clear feedback so you can improve. The assignments are usually simple but are very time-consuming. She is very accommodating to those who do not enjoy math, as long as they show effort

I feel like this professor is misunderstood.1501 is a tedious course however she is always clear on what she wants and is willing to help; her help can come off as condescending but she wants you to figure it out on your own first. If you don't put in the work you will fail and make sure to read back all your feedback. She never wants you to fail.

Professor Carder is an excellent instructor with a clear and engaging teaching style. They understandably present complex material, making connections to real-world applications. The course is insightful and thought-provoking, requiring consistent effort, but Professor Carder is supportive and ensures students grasp the material well.

I took professor Nicole Carder in 2020 for both biostatistics and elementary statistics. The online lectures were easy to follow and learn from.She is a fair grader and excellent at explaining statistical cncepts (compared to my previous biostats professor). Go to class, study, and do your homework.

In my opinion, data 1501 was one of the easiest classes I took all year. Yes, it can be hard, but if you listen to what she says and do your mid-term and final week by week you will not have to be stressed with the other (easy imo) homework she gives. She definitely knows what she is doing and that has been super refreshing!

Dr. Carder is a great professor and the class is easy enough, but there is SO much work to do. It's 1. a gen ed class and 2. wasn't even required for my major. but there were around 5-6 hours worth of work every week, which was ridiculous. it was more work than all of my other classes combined. the work is easy, just very tedious. easy a though

okay so i took professor Watson's online summer class, but every single lecture and lab video so far has been created by professor Carder, so everything i'm learning is from her. i can't speak to her grading rubric, but I find her tutorials incredibly comprehensive and easy to understand. I owe everything I've learned so far to her teaching.

I do not know how her other classes are structured but I took Data 1501 I had never used excel before this class and I have gained so much knowledge because of her. She gives really good feedback and is really nice. She has guided videos that help SO MUCH. I would take her again if I could!!!
