Rachel is a great professor. I would recommend the hybrid class over the online class. The weekly problem sessions are a great resource. Math 10 will be very easy if you are good at breaking down word problems and following a flow chart, and you can get the concepts.

This subject is hard to grasp because most of the content is brand new. Rachel does a fantastic job at explaining these concepts and ensuring we are comfortable with the content after the lecture. She prepares you well for the final and is a compassionate woman. Attending the class each week is very helpful! Take her class!

Rachel is sweet. I only went the first day and finals day. All of the material is online through BEOGA. This is where you will take your weekly quizzes, midterm, & lab projects. HW is not required nor collected. Only real scary part is her final which is 60% of your grade. I had a 100 b4 it. STUDY the sample final religiously and you'll get your A.

Rachel teaches this class with Rick Martinez and they are awesome. Do all the homework and practice quizzes, ask questions and participate in the forums and you should do fine. The final is a huge part of the grade but it was not too difficult if you keep up.

She's one of the best math teachers ever. She tells you what to expect even on the finals. She gives you study guide that will help you immensely on the finals. You can bring her version of notes too on the finals. On online, you either get the right or wrong answer. There's no partials. You don't have to do the homework, but I recommend it.

I took the online class with one hour a week on campus, which was not mandatory to attend. Mrs. Rachel is very cool person and her classes, if present, were well described, but everyone has to study at home and she requires to come to class prepared already. As statistic itself is not an easy class, do not expect to be easy. Over all a good teacher

Homework is not mandatory, but make sure you do it because it is the only way to practice what you learn in the lectures and you'll be lost on the exams if you don't. The final was the only time I had to show up to campus and was multiple choice. They gave us a sample final with the answers to study. I enjoyed taking this class!

The content is clear and easy to understand, definitely a doable course. Homework is not required, but there's either a quiz, midterm, or lab due on Saturday nights by 11 pm. The most difficult part of the course is the final, as it's 60% of your grade. However, there is a sample final that helps immensely, so study it!!

If you want an easy A take this class. No meetings, only weekly quizzes that are fairly easy. 1 midterm and one final and 4-5 quizzes in between. No meetings so you basically have to learn everything yourself. I gave around one hour a week for this class and ended with an A so take her if you can.

AWFUL, if you are NOT an independent student/ learner do not take the course. Do not expect to be taught, you just watch videos based on examples that don't resemble the final exam which is what your whole grade is even worth. Sample final does not match what you studied, yes its open notes but if you are not a stats person guaranteed a struggle.

First, I would say this course is easy. It's got 9 4-6 question quizzes and10 question midterm, which counts 60% of the grade. But the bad part is the final is only 36 multiple choice questions, and it's 40% of your grade. and the final is far harder than the quizzes. So it is easy to get a B, but if you want easy A's take someone else.

I took intermediate algebra in the fall and it was pretty easy, so i'm confused as to why there are bad reviews lol. The professor is super sweet and caring. We used an online textbook which you do have to purchase. The weekly quizzes are rather simple, which you can re-take and the final was multiple choice.

Don't take this class if you want to learn anything. Just video lectures, no textbook, transcripts, or notes. No time-stamps, index, or even useful titles for the lectures, which jump around each topic, so it was hard to take notes & to figure out how to return to a specific topic for review. I found a free online course & used that to learn.

Teacher was nice. But if you are not good at math, do not take this class. You watch a ton of videos. If you have questions, ask in the forum, but rely on students to answer first before the teachers. Sample final does not match the actual final. Also, did not get the results of the final to see what we got right and wrong.

I took statistic with Professor Rachel Mudge. The class met only on Mondays but that was really all we needed. There was online lectures that were clear. From day one she had use work with the people around us and that allowed for me to get close with two other students. The work is enough for you to understand the concept.

This class was a solid foundation for Statistics. The lecture videos were very helpful and the quizzes were fairly easy if you payed attention. Homework is NOT mandatory and there are sample quizzes that best prepare you for the actual quizzes that are graded. The final exam is the most challenging however, if you study hard you will be fine.

Rachel is an awesome professor. I've struggled with stats but I understood it pretty well this time around, and she explains really clearly. If you're taking her in person, it's a flipped classroom, so you watch the lecture vids, and she clarifies anything you're confused about. The final is challenging, but as long as you study, you'll be set.

Do not take her online class. The only structure and guidance in the online class is yourself. She doesn't teach and is not present. You have to engage in math and all you do in this class is answer a bunch of questions on a website then come to campus for the heavy loaded final which is nothing like the sample final online. Save yourself please.
