Never take a class with her! Extremely unclear in her notes and has an extremely hard time answering student questions. Easily the worst professor I have EVER had.

pay attention to the problems she does in class, even though it can be hard to stay awake. READ THE BOOK, it makes way more sense than her. 1st half of semester isnt too bad, after that it all goes downhill.

DON'T TAKE HER CLASS as long as you can help it. she relies on her students to teach ourselves and each other and she rarely seems to know what she's talking about. it's almost impossible to stay awake in her class. avoid her at all costs.

Dr. Jahan is probably the most confusing professors I've ever had. She is constantly making mistakes which makes it impossible to follow along with that she is doing. Literally my entire class would correct her on simple addition and subtraction and sometimes she even got the equations wrong on formula sheets. My advice would be not to take her.

Professor Jahan is easily the worst teacher I have ever had. She has a pretentious attitude, enjoys putting students on the spot, and confuses even herself during lecture, nevermind the rest of the class. Take statistics with another professor, if not another math class altogether.

VERY HARD. I barely passed this class. She expects you to already know a lot about statistics and makes you feel stupid if you don't. She does not explain hard concepts and it is very difficult to understand her. Do NOT take this class if you don't have to and if you have to, take another professor.

Get out now! Avoid at all costs! She doesn't explain things at all. Only 20 moinutes for quizes. Going to office hours is useless.

Do not take the class. Everything she teaches is extremely confusing and going to her office hours is useless. I went multiple times and she seemed uninterested and distracted while attempting to help me and told me I should just go to blackboard for examples. I would not recommend her at all.

Absolutely the worst class that i have ever taken in my life. She is a horrible teacher and messes up all of her examples. We have to correct her on almost ever problem and you still leave the class knowing absolutely nothing DO NOT TAKE HER AS A TEACHER

worst teacher ive ever had in my entire life. horrible grammar, hard to understand, no idea what shes ever asking from us. this class is PAINFUL to sit through. not clear about any dates. assigns homework that isn't mandatory and then expects the entire class to have it done and gets frustrated when no one does it.

Literally the most useless professor EVER. She literally explains barely anything and then gets incredibly annoyed whenever anyone asks a question. So horrible. Don't do it unless you're completely confident you can teach yourself out of the textbook because you will learn absolutely nothing from her.

I had an awful experience with this professor. Not only is she hard to understand, whenever I went to office hours she was no help. She would say things like "go look in the book" or "its not that hard". Everyone in my class was less than pleased with her, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!

She is very disorganized and often loses track of what she is doing. Strong accent. VERY DIFFICULT GRADER. Often times not even a single person in the class would get a 100 on a test or quiz. DO NOT TAKE HER.

Professor Jahan is really sweet and she's obviously very educated in what she's teaching about. But she can't really teach it, like theres a huge language barrier and sometimes what she's saying doesn't quite make sense. Attendance isn't mandatory although you work in groups and get credit for the work you do in the group. Don't take her.

Not helpful if you don't understand the material right away. Doesn't seem to always know what she's talking about and can be really confusing sometimes. However, if you look over your textbook and read the notes it is possible to get a good grade but try to avoid!!

Very hard to understand, seems to have an apathetic attitude. Seemed unprepared for class most of the time. Some people just aren't meant to be teachers, she's an example of that.

I didn't think this class was bad at all until exam time. Lectures are boring but I thought pretty helpful in addition to actually going through the textbook. HW due online every Friday, Quizzes every Sunday. As semester goes on, both HW & Quizzes take FOREVER. BUT exams have absolutely no resemblance AT ALL to anything we do in class or HW.

Not very helpful at all, disorganized and hard to understand. Lectures are boring and quizzes and homework done online. Overall not a great teacher and would not recommend taking her class.

She is confused and does not explain how she wants any of the work done. You could miss her class and would get the work finished. Only take this teacher if you have taken stat before because if you don't know what is going on, she is not the teacher to have explain things.

I would say that taking a class with Jahan is like taking a class in hell, however I think that even the devil himself would easily recognize her complete and utter incompetence and fire her immediately. She is rude, condescending, and unprepared. If you enjoy having teachers constantly get problems wrong and nit pick your work, she's the one!

Probably the worst teacher I have ever had in my academic career. Got a B in this class after working my ass off in what is supposed to be an easy class. Teacher is not willing to work with you at all. Grades incredibly hard, and averages are low and as a stats teacher, refuses to curve. Avoid at all costs.

If you want to sit through a professor who still needs Rosetta stone then this is the class for you. Her lectures are very tough to follow and she is very unprepared for class. she needs a how to teach for dummies book. she is a very sweet lady but could not teach a class even if the outbreak of ww3 depended on it. Would not recommend.

One word: Avoid.

Despite all the comments I've seen about this professor, I decided to give her a chance. Every answer you give is basically wrong. Not really approachable. Not easy to understand. I do not recommend.

AVOID AVOID AVOID. She is actually the worst professor I've ever had. She'll ask the class a question and even if you have the right answer she'll find a way to make you feel stupid. Needless to say, incredibly condescending, ignores emails, could care less about her students. I had taken stats before and got an A yet I earned a C- in her class....

The worst teacher I've ever had. Bc she knows what she's doing she assumes everyone else understands her process of getting an answer and doesn't explain the process/moves quickly. Took stats in high school and got an A yet she still makes this class impossible because of her lack of explanation. Always leave class even more confused

Prof. Jahan assigns online homework's and quizzes on a system called ConnectMath. It is the slowest website I have ever used and it is very frustrating. She often will not teach us material, and then it will appear on the online tests and quizzes, so you have to teach yourself . I hate this class so much. Only take it if you hate yourself.

10/10 don't recommend taking Math 220 with Prof. Jahan. She uses ConnectMath which is the most frustrating online mathematics website. Everyone spends more than one hour on each homework and quiz online and they count for less than 5 points of your overall grade although that is what you spend the most time on. Teaches complete opposite of textbook

Professor Jahan told us that you should round up when using degrees of freedom, but then the next class told us we are actually supposed to round down. My point is: She is the worst at explaining, and will often mess up on pretty important things. I hate this class, do not take her if you can avoid it. She SUCKS at explaining how to do anything!

She is an extremely bad teacher. Mixes everything up during lecture so she is teaching the material incorrectly most of the time. The hw's are on stuff that you didn't learn. Class average on the tests were 65%. She takes off points for no reason. Take someone else for this class.

Absolutely terrible! Most of the time she's confused on what she is taking about so she uses the words "um yeah", "you know", and "basically". She also creates her own quizzes with no clear directions. I literally just got done arguing with her through email about a quiz she assigned because she did not cover the material in class

She does not make material clear. She claims her exams are set up just like the problems just like Connect Math, BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE!! During online exams(since we got sent home from JMU) she claims she is online to help answer question, BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE!!! DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!

Don't even read the rest of the comments... just exist out, go back to MyMadison and look for another professor. Can barely teach, and was even worse online. She doesn't take anything into consideration. Grading is terrible, and points don't even add up. 10/10 would never take her again ever in my whole life of being on this earth

I tried very hard in this class and did not do well. I did not think that MATH 220 would be a challenge for me, but with her it was.

I read her reviews before choosing her class and thought to myself how bad can she be? I had no other option. Turns out super bad, she can't teach at all; she just reads her slides verbatim and those don't make sense in the first place. She does not care about your grade or your concerns and makes no effort to work with you. She's the worst.

This class genuinely took a minor toll on my mental health. This rating is not coming from a student who did poorly in the class and is taking out their frustration on the professor, this rating is coming from a student who has never gotten a C in his life until now. The class is not taught in a way that sets the student up for success.

This professor is the worst I have ever had. I worked hard all semester to get a good grade and ended up having to retake it. She does not teach at all. If learned something it was from either reading the textbook or meeting with tutors. I would not take this class with her I wish that I waited another semester to get any other teacher.

I took this class trying to ignore the bad reviews but I should have listened. The lectures may have been better in person but the test material is difficult and does not match up with the book. There are few opportunities to raise your grade outside of tests, homework, and two projects. She doesnt update grades regularly. Would avoid at all costs

Do not take this class. If you have her class Rn, drop it before its too late. This was the hardest class of my life and I worked my butt off and I still was not able to do well. Also, at the end of the class I had a 69.58 and emailed her asking for it to be rounded, and she just never responded.

Do not take Math 220 with Nusrat. Do pick another professor, any other professor. You made a mistake? that's your fault according to her. Do not expect her to reply to any of your emails. Do count on learning everything from the textbook and praying your remember how to use SPSS and the formulas for the tests. Good luck with this one yall.

This professor and this class are just frustrating. On our last test she literally wrote a question that had no correct answer. In this class you basically have to teach yourself because all she does is read off poorly worded slides and can't explain anything to you if you don't understand something. If you get stuck with her like I did good luck

It was an online, programming based course where she did not teach us how to use the language yet expected its use on exams/hw. Final 2 weeks went exam, big group project, lengthy reading assignment, final exam. Explicitly told my group to learn methods not taught in her class, then took points off the project for not explaining them sufficiently.

Point distribution system for exams/hw/etc is terribly flawed. It's easy for her to deduct many points and award few. The 3 exams are weighted the heaviest and everything else barely boosts your grade. She is a very slow grader so you won't know your grade until the end. Class discs were pointless and gave me anxiety. She makes you feel incompetent

Does not know how to properly teach the program we are learning stats on. Goes over notes we are supposed to read at home leaving no time to learn the software in class. Expect homework to be new material learning yourself.

If you do not learn by a prof just reading off slides, this is not the class for you. You have 3 tests and quizzes/hw/projs are assigned just days before they're due. She's knowledgeable af, but she can't teach. YOU have to put in a TON of work to get a good grade out of this class, but if you fail one test you will not finish with > a B.

Post 2: Class is just reading off slides and doing few examples. Tests/hw/quizzes are worded differently which makes them more difficult. YOU have to teach yourself the math bc you won't learn any other way. There's a $$$ book, it's never used, just the hw site is. She's nice but there's a difference between being smart vs a good teacher.

Do not under ANY circumstance take this class

she makes you feel stupid when you ask questions. don't take her if you can avoid it.

The expectations of this class are extremely confusing. She says attendance is mandatory but she takes attendance on random days and sometimes she doesn't take it at all. She seems lost during lecture whenever someone asks a question as if everyone should know everything already. So much is left out of lecture from the book too. Dont take her.

She isn't mean at all, but she doesn't know how to teach and kinda teaches like she talking to herself. The ALEKS hws are not bad but when she has quizzes or tests on paper it is totally different, she doesn't prepare well. Overall, nice lady but can not teach.

She is super unorganized, it makes it very hard to pay attention in class. She also makes you feel dumb if you ask a simple question. She doesn't prepare you well for things that end up on the test. The only saving grace is the Aleks system grades.

DO NOT TAKE HER IF POSSIBLE! If you have not already done statistics are willing to relearn everything teaches outside of class you will fail! The students have had to correct her on so many things to the point she just asks us to do the work after reading off a slide so we "practice" when in reality she just can't teach. Save yourself the trouble.

Do. Not. Take. Beyond disorganized and ALWAYS was late to class. Lectures made no sense because she didn't even understand what she was teaching. When using R studio, she didn't know the code and had us just google it. Test were difficult and on material we did not go over. Assigns homework with out telling you on third party site. She was clueless

DO NOT TAKE. Very disorganized, and not helpful at all. It was very hard to get any help from her. We would have no assignments for weeks, and then a crap ton at once. She likes to post work on Sun., but its due that Mon. or Tues. She doesn't know how to work R studio, and will tell you to google it and figure it out yourself. Also a SLOW grader.

DO NOT TAKE AT ALL COSTS!! I have never done bad in a math class until I was in her class. She spends so long talking about useless information which creates horrible time management. She refuses to answer questions on the project. She walks out of the class and leaves you by yourself saying "good luck" and that's not even all of it. Stay clear!!!!

She does not know how to teach. Every class is based on PowerPoint presentations. We do countless ALEX assignments and then get tested on completely different materials we barely cover. She seems so confused when explaining anything. She forgot we had a midterm until a student told her, includes so much that is not needed. No clarity in this class.

Assignments are often assigned at weird times leaving availability for completion very up-in-the-air and hurried. Prepare for lots- and lots of lecturing that comes off more like her just rambling than actually teaching. The work isn't unbearable in quantity, which is the only good thing I can really say. Expect to teach yourself in this class.

get ready to fall asleep, if you've ever taken a class where you have to teach yourself this is the final boss. I don't think she ever talked about anything that was important to the material once in class she only read directly off the slides and then would move on even if it didn't make sense. Her accent is thick and so is her skull.

-she once wrote "21-19 equals 3" on the chalkboard -she once said the phrase "up syndrome and down syndrome" (???) -she once gave my friend points off an assignment for "using the infinity symbol instead of the alpha symbol" when she literally used the alpha symbol instead of the infinity symbol -dont take her unless shes absolutelyrequired

be ready to teach yourself everything and to dedicated 1-2 hours to homework assignments only worth 10 points and assigned within a 2-3 day notice. she was not good at explaining the material and was hard to understand. definitely avoid at all costs

I didn't have a hard time. She was hard to follow during lectures and she kept messing up on her own problems, making it really hard to follow. She also used SPSS and didn't really explain it that well (at least to me).

Never had a professor disrespected students time as much as she did. Averaged 8 mins late to every class, would leave abruptly for up to 10 mins, and always went over time. I am glad I took stat in highschool and this is just a major req. bc she was one of the worst teachers ever as well and nothing she said made any sense at all, lots of tangents.

Okay, I made a lot of mistakes and failing her class was mainly my fault. But it wasn't made any better by the fact that there's 2 main exams and the final is 25% of your grade. My class had D to C- averages on all of them. Also, when I tried to ask her anything, she would always be exasperated. Mandatory $100 for 10 assignments was not it ngl.

You better get to class early and sit in the back because get ready for the most boring lectures of your life. I don't think I paid attention one singular time I was in this class. She is a fun sponge

Do not take this class, even if you need it for your major. You should drop it. She is at least six minutes late to EVERY class and still doesn't know our names. She doesn't care about her students and will not make accommodations, even when everyone fails a test. Her teaching is nonexistent, she constantly get problems wrong and she is confusing.

handouts and tests are all on paper. She poorly explains the material and doesn't understand how to help you when you are confused. The tests are your entire grade and she has a NO CURVE policy so when the class average is a 35% that's what you'll be receiving. The tests are all open response and she gives a equation sheet that doesn't help at all.

horrible. worst teacher I have ever had. she should never of been allowed to teach. laughs in peoples faces when she hands back a bad grade. does not care to help you in any situation ever. tests are super hard class avg is below 70. literally makes 0 sense in class you will have to teach urself, run for the hills, hills that r extremely far away.

She is one of the most difficult professors I have ever had at JMU. Not only is the class only graded by a few things, you don't actually know what your grade is most of the time because she doesn't grade things until the very end. I found her class super difficult, and I'm usually good at statistics. Would not recommend if this is for your major.

This is the worst math class. She grades nothing and blames it on TAs being unavailable. She only cares about the answers on tests, and she does NOT curve the grade; the homework is worth 10%. Expects you to read the textbook and understand all the material, then does problems and doesn't explain how they're done, basically only teaches definitions

please save yourself and do not take her. half the mean tests are all under 60%. she is so rude and doesn't help with anything. please seriously find a better teacher.

RUNNNN SO FAR AWAY. Ur ENTIRE grade is the midterm and the mean of the class is always below 70 and the lowest scores are always in the 20s FOR A REASON. genuinely awful in every way save urself.

She is very nice and does care about her students, however she doesn't seem to understand how to help if you are struggling. If you do not get a good group on the group project for the last few weeks be ready to do those on your own, she will just tell you to talk to them. Do not take her if you cannot self learn all the material.

This is the most difficult and anxiety enducing class and she is fully the problem. Even if you study for hours I promise it still will not make sense ever they never have the same content on lectures, homeworks, and exams. Dont take this class if you were hoping to be happy.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS! I genuinely thought I would be fine. LOL SIKE. The lectures are confusing, exams are the majority of your grade, which nobody does well on, and are never curved. The almost 200-dollar textbook for homework doesn't relate to anything you're doing in class. Be prepared to teach yourself everything.

She seemed really nice at first—only on the first day—but she is actually very rude and insensitive to what students are going through. She grades extremely harshly and is not helpful at all when you ask her questions. Many times, she gets confused about her own answers, and there have been several instances where us students had to correct her.

in taking this class i started praying again. these 2 things don't seem related, but i promise you, they are. never in my life did i think elementary statistics would be difficult, but here i am. sweet lady, but the exam worth 40% of your grade quite literally determines everything. the HOURS of homework you do counts for basically nothing.
