COVID left me having to take math online this semester. I picked this teacher for the reviews that were given. I found it really difficult as she rarely graded throughout the semester. I found it frustrating to not even have an up to date grade before the final. She did give extra credit opportunity and lots of review sessions. Be aware of the grad

Underrated prof. I was really worried about doing well in stats, but she gives a ton of opportunities to understand the material if you put in the work, and she is a lenient grader as long as you're trying. Do the optional assignments if you want to do well and take advantage of all of her office hours because she's super willing to work with you.

Prof Guenther is very helpful and her lectures are very clear. Tests and knowledge checks are almost identical to the lectures and homework assignments. Lots of opportunities for EC so look out for those. Gives you the chance to work on knowledge checks with other students, so take advantage of that. Very nice and willing to help!

I was terrified to take stats cuz I suck at math. I just needed to pass and Pam was the best math professor I've had. The video lectures are clear. Just watch all the videos, do the online hw and written hw and u should be fine. Go to tutor sessions if u need help and study the review work sheets for exams. u have to work for it but it's reasonable

She is the best! She wants all her students to be successful; her note packets and lecture styles make it very easy to understand the material. She offers extra credit at the end of the semester and gives students a chance to do exam corrections. Homework amount is nothing too crazy- she's kind, funny, and relatable which makes the class enjoyable.

Took hybrid MATH117 and it was the worst class I've taken. Assignments consisted of solely teaching yourself the lessons online through interactive required videos that were all 3-5 parts and 15-25 minutes long each, and in class you did a couple review questions and then a test. I do not know one student who knew what was going on the entire time.

Good teacher who spent a lot of time to teach the material well. Very strict policy for quizzes and tests, no make-ups even if you had a doctor's note or otherwise acceptable excuse, even though she missed multiple herself. The lowest two quizzes would be dropped and the final replaced one lower exam score. Labs graded very easily as well.

I enrolled in her summer Math 117 course & I am shocked at these reviews. There were usually 10 assignments every day that were due before noon, I was fully prepared to insert sc's but RMP doesn't allow. I spent about 7 hours just completing the work & studying before rinsing & repeating the next day. Take this as a fair warning to spare yourself.

If you are bad at math, take this class with Professor Guenther. I have failed/barely passed every math class before this one. She explains the material clearly and consistently to help you understand dense and long-stats problems. she is also very caring and will listen to your problems and does her best to accommodate you.

If you take the Math117 statistics class over summer, please dig your own grave beforehand. This is one of those classes where when the teacher says "you will have hours of work per day"... you actually have hours of work every day. Each day is quite literally 7 hours worth of homework packets, videos, and quizzes. RIP future Math117 students.

DO NOT TAKE MATH 137,137c. You will realistically have to spend 24+ hours a week on homework (21hrs expected) Attendance is mandatory, 2.5hr class, where she only covers homework you already did and then quizzes you, possibly multiple times. ALL LECTURES ARE ONLINE, require notes you pay for, and are not considered homework. Potentially a scam!?

I took this class online over the summer for a better grade and was very overwhelming than what I was able to handle. 24 Hours / week. Literally, it will require at least 24 hours. Because of the extravagant amount of homework, class work, and notes required, I dropped it. Having taken 137 before, I'll say, this was tough.

Office hours were consistently available as well as other resources. You will have to work very hard and spend lots of time on these classes (117 and 137), but for me it was worth it.

I struggled in her class due to mental health challenges, leading to NP. She was understanding and nonjudgemental in responding and welcoming me back to retake.

She is brilliant at what she does, and if you want a top tier Professor who is an absolute delight to be around, look no further. Goes way above and beyond always, and if you follow her instruction you will pass. Is also huge on the science of learning, such as methods for retaining information and that is a huge bonus that carries over into life

There is a lot of homework but I can tell it actually helped me, and it wasn't just busy work. She drops your lowest quiz score, and your lowest test score which helped me a lot, she allows a notecard on tests at well.

Mrs.G is such a kind professor. Her guided notes are so helpful, encouraging her students to go to office hours to ask questions. Sometimes homework packets can be thicker than usual, so it's better to go to office hours or the math lab. I definitely recommend doing those online quizzes; big help. Overall I loved her and I will take her again. ,
