I'll start by saying I was dreading taking Stats as I am not a math person. I took this course fully online and it was so helpful. Rachel goes out of her way to make the course content easy for you including using excel for all the calculations, formatting calculators and packets for you. If you use all the resources given to you, you'll pass fine.

Prof. Rachel Webb was very professional and knowledgeable on her subjects when teaching. She made learning the material fun and it was apparent she cared for the students educational growth. It seemed she would make herself available any day of the week, even weekends to help with understanding coursework! An excellent teacher!

The content of the class itself is easy as long as you attend every lecture and make time outside of class to study. The professor is amazing and tries her best to teach in a way that is easy to learn/understand. It is a high-maintenance class, so do not take it if you are not willing to spend at least 6 hours a week outside of class to study.

I would AVOID taking this statistics class if you can! The teacher is very unenthusiastic and makes learning statistics more boring than it needs to be. The monotone lecture makes it hard to get engaged and want to participate. I felt she treated it as a 400-level course rather than a 200-level one, when most were there just to get the credit.

When you're worrying about money as a college student, Ms. Webb makes an effort to take some of that stress off the students. I'm currently using a version of Lumen I don't have to pay for and she even shows you how to get a TI-84 online. She also assigns excel homework, but always includes a guide, and is very helpful in your understanding.

Rachel Webb is the worst professor I have had in my 16 years of schooling. She is not understanding or helpful, her lame teaching style is so boring and hard to follow. I'd recommend taking stats at a community college and transferring the credits over, Portland State Statistics department is a joke.

Gives every resource you may need. Get notes and formulas on exams. Gives worksheets and guided notes in class as well as in depth notes and examples on canvas that you should read before class. Definitely has a decent amount of assignments and quizzes but don't usually take super long. Fast paced class but if you stay caught up it's not that hard.

Overall a decent teacher, only thing i can say thats a bit brutal is passing the final is mandatory for passing the class, but its not that bad since all exams are open notes and she does give a solid amount of partial credit (10-20%). I would recommend taking her if you have are not confident in your math skills as its very straight forward.

Rachel is an amazing teacher, she wrote her own material to cut down on student spending. She sets up students for success and truly cares about each student. Rachel goes over what is expected and thoroughly goes through the material.

Decent professor, scales her exams pretty heavily, “you must get 60% or higher on exams to pass this class. I don't just pass anyone.” Even if you're passing, she'll still fail you in the class if it's not 60 or higher for exams. Tends to whiz through lecture very quickly. Attend EVERY class, her exams mirror the worksheets in class.

Rachel is a strong professor and is fluent in the material. Attend class, read the book she offers, watch the videos and take strong visual notes. This is NOT a class to slack. Rachel also offers opportunities for EC and allows students to have notes during exams. There is a lot of work to do but it is beneficial for understanding and applying it.
