She is new for this course since the old pfs retired. Her lectures are so boring... there were very few students went to even the last lecture before final. So she would make the attendance mandatory in the future quarters.She make the the easiest stat course tough!!U even cannot finish the midterm and final!! DO NEVER TAKE HER CLASS!!!!!!!!!!

This class was an easy A. Lectures are boring and not very helpful, but all notes are posted online. Midterms were short and easy. I put in little effort and received a 4.0.

She really wants her students to learn and though she is a very tough grader if you attend her classes you get rewarded for upcoming quizzes. You need to study a lot out of school and I would suggest using her office hours, she can be very helpful in clarifying everything. I think she is a good teacher, just a tough grader. It's not easy.

Honestly she isn't even bad. Stats is a hard course in itself; however, if you've taken a stats class prior to this, it's mostly review. I think she's clear. She answers all questions and attempts to clarify herself. She's particular when it comes to grading though. She's not mean, she just has no patience for dumb questions.

She's not a bad person, just a hard grader. She explains things clearly and occasionally gets irritated with people. My only real complaint is that you learn things in class one week , but get homework on something you learned last week, then get quizzed on something you learned 3 weeks ago. so disorganized and hard to remember what you've learned.

I am not sure why she has such terrible reviews. I think she might be my favorite professor at UW. She actually tries to learn everyones names, and she cares if you are learning. If you go to her office hours and do all the homework you will be fine in the class. Seriously recommend her and she knows her probability.

Very easy class. If you attend and pay attention in class, do the homework, you will get a good grade. Disappointed how easy it was. We did not learn standard deviation and averages until the last 2-3 weeks of class (which we already knew for the SAT). Professor is good, curriculum, not so much. NOT professors' fault.

great teacher, always available for help. if you put in the time she will reward you.

Class is pretty easy. Recordings are online so you don't need to go to class. However, she gives participation points if you show up and do some assignment (10% of your grades). Sometimes she is a little confusing but she is very ready to help and cares about students. (don't buy the textbook, you don't need it - just buy her lecture notes)

Not really sure what all the bad reviews are about. Easily one of the best math classes I've take at UW. Class materials were gone over slowly because quality quantity. Homework and exams are fairly reasonable if you use your brainattend office hoursattend lectures regularly. Also she cares about whether you learn in her class.

Good to average professor. Very reasonable, easy HW. Curriculum is pathetically easy you will not learn much of anything about statistics that you don't already know from the SAT.

I don't know why there are a lot of negative reviews, she was my professor for 2 major courses, gives straight forward lectures, comprehensive study guide, positive feedback for any problems. She is also an easy going and caring person. Would recommend taking her class.

Prof. Grove is almost unbelievably caring - she learned everyone's name in our 180-person lecture, encourages participation, and works hard to make sure you learn. She is very accessible, whether after class, in office hours, or via email. Tests and homework are reasonable. Lectures were a bit dry, but overall, this was an excellent class.

Lectures are interesting and keep the class engaged. Professor Grove will try her best to answer your questions. She is fair and unbiased with grading, responses, and content. Extremely studied and can effeciently distribute her knowledge.

Her lectures can be somewhat confusing and other professors are probably better at explaining the material. She emailed me personally many times and seemed to genuinely care that everyone did well. If you are a smart student or have a good understanding of the material already I would recommend taking her class.

Prof. Grove made a genuine effort to learn the names of everyone who participated. She remembers what people are struggling with and tries to catch up with you and work over the material.

Professor Grove is a great stats teacher. She takes the time to learn everyone's name and clearly cares deeply about all of her students. She has lots of opportunities for students to come in and ask questions/get extra help, and will work hard to make sure that they understand it. Lectures are also very understandable, and move at a good pace.

This class is fairly easy as long as you put in the effort to go to class and listen. Some beginning topics may be not so interesting, but if you enjoy stats youll enjoy this class. Prof. Grove does a great job making sure you know the content, and is super approachable and easy to understand. Those interested in stats should definitely take this.

Professor Grove is a great professor, very engaging and gives good explanations. The class is fairly difficult, but manageable if you put in the effort to show up to class and read the book, and the quizzes aren't as bad as some reviews make them out to be. Also has a lot of hard coding projects that I did not expect but found very interesting.

I do not think the quizzes are that hard, a lot of people got full score on the second quiz. All you need to do is simply go over the book and review all the labs and homework, it will only take you about 3 hours if you study hard every day. Also, the workload of this class is way smaller compared to the other classes I am taking this quarter.

Although her lectures are a little boring, her exams are easy if you study hard. I always watch the recordings and read the textbook, and I got decent scores for my quizzes even though I usually don't go to lectures.

I personally really enjoy her class. she makes a conscious effort to get to know her students and answer their questions. i highly reccomend going to office hours on Fridays! her assignments are doable and well thought out. a good grade is easy to maintain if you come to lectures, do the homework and labs, and go to office hours!

People are roasting literally one of the best professors I have ever had at UW. Prof Grove is caring, and accessible outside of class (as are her TA's). From 11/19/19 to 11/22/19 you can see a lot of reviews from students that took her second quiz(midterm), they just mad. The avg was 80% so pretty high, it shows she has reasonable standards.

Professor Grove is a very good and engaging professor - her quizzes arent too difficult and as long you show up to lecture and Quiz Section, and make an effort to learn, you are well equipped to succeed in the class. She makes a genuine effort to get to know anyone, and is one of the best professors Ive personally had here.

Prof Grove was such a caring teacher, she makes an effort to know everyones names in her lecture, provides a lot of opportunities to get help outside of lecture and section, and provides you with all of the resources you need to succeed. The exams are extremely fair, they follow exactly whats on the study guide. Great prof

Dr. Grove is pretty accessible outside of class and reasonable when it comes to workload. The R homeworks can sometimes be challenging but the language is very useful for data analytics and easy to pick up. Do the textbook problems and WS and you will do fine. The quizzes were pretty fair but not too easy.

The homework can be lot and a little bit confusing but the labs are pretty straight forward. She is clear with her lectures and the expectations she has on her students. The material is pretty tough but not unreasonable

STAT311 is not a relaxing class as statistics is not an easy subject. But Prof Grove phrases hard concepts in a fairly informal way and is also clear on what to expect on the exams. READ THE TEXTBOOK AND DO PROBLEMS! It works!! If you understand why you are doing the problems that way, not just simply getting the answers, you'll be fine seriously.

y'all can stay pressed that you're failing because you don't put in the work. if you do the assignments and come to prof. grove's class + office hours you should be fine. she's an amazing professor and person and her class is graded reasonably. just do the work.

Professor Grove is extremely friendly and understanding of students hardships. Her lectures are entertaining, and she does a great job of engaging the class. Never a dull moment in her class. That said, there is a lot of work in this class but if you read the textbooks and stay on top of labs/hw you should do just fine.

Personally I love her lecture, I do not understand why other people said her lecture was boring. I could understand her classes pretty well and I get all the concepts. However, in order to do well in the exam, you do need to do a lot of practice and be careful of tiny details. Overall, I still think the grading is acceptable

Prof. Grove really cares about your success in the class. If you put in the work, she's very fair. The assignments get harder as the course progresses, so make sure to set aside enough time to complete. I recommend trying to read/apply the material in the text before lecture. Do lots of practice problems and you'll do well on the exams.

I think the thing that sticks out about Prof. Grove is her willingness to help students. She really goes above and beyond to accommodate your needs and figure out what is most helpful for the class. Grades fair, and the homework can be challenging but as long as you seek out help you'll be fine.

There is a good amount of homework, but it is not unreasonable and it is all to help students gain a better understanding of the concepts being taught. She takes the time to remember everyone's names, which shows how much effort she puts into helping the students engage with the course.

This class was informative and the teacher seemed really excited by her subject. Try finishing homework and labs early so you can ask the teacher/TAs questions (they are accessible). My grade suffered from not being able to finish the exams, so move quick etc. Not cumulative, no big projects, and textbook is for your understanding and hw problems

She is a solid choice. If you're looking to take stat 311 and she is instructing it, you probably won't go wrong with her. She cares a lot and makes an effort to help everyone succeed. She's a quirky sweet lady that laughs at her unfunny jokes. She explains concepts well enough and provides a plethora of opporunites for additional help.

No words... She is such a caring professor, asked us to reach out to her if we have problems in life during this hard time

Prof Grove tries so hard to help you learn and although the class is generally hard, she makes it so bearable and helpful. Her office hours are so nice bc it in the stats lab and you can collaborate with other people in your lectures and so much less intimidating than you might think. Highly recommend this prof for this class!!

Professor Grove is really caring and friendly. She often makes jokes during class. Her lectures are clear and helpful, so go to class. Everything should be pretty do-able so long as you put effort into what you've taught. There is also a lot of support outside class (OH, quiz section, piazza, email, etc). All in all, you wouldn't go wrong with her!

Dr. Grove really makes an effort to connect with her class. She tries to remember student names, she's accessible during office hours, and she answers questions on Piazza regularly.

Not a lot of ratings from statistics major core courses, but t's clear that Prof. Grove cares about her students and want them to succeed, which is even more evident in small classes. She sacrifices a lot of her time to offer extra help to students, understanding that statistics is rather difficult, especially for beginners. Get help, work hard.

Super nice professor. Sometimes has confusing quiz questions, but TAs can help clarify. In class worksheets (to check attendance) were pretty similar to quiz questions.

Solid choice for statistics. I didn't expect to do so much coding in the course since its not a computer science credit, but all of our homework and labs were on R. Overall, the quizzes and homework is difficult to get a 100% but pretty easy to get 90-95. The grading is also pretty easy because a 60% is a guaranteed 2.0.

I took her classes both in person and online. I think she's definitely a great professor and she done great job explaining hard concepts. She cares her students a lot, and I think everyone in my class can tell. She was always trying to get feedback from students and would stay for a very long time to answer questions during office hours.

Very good professor! Holds your hand for the beginning of the course and will sit down and help you out with stuff youre struggling with. Had a group project at the end of the class that she started for the first time. Lots of glitches and hard to use, and she didnt seem to know how to fix it.

I would definitely recommend taking STAT 311 with Professor Grove. All of our assignments were on R. Overall, the homework instructions/rubrics were straightforward. It was not difficult to get 90-100% on each lab as long as you attended the lecture and reviewed lecture slides. There were also no quizzes/exams, only a final group project.

I agree with the other review that said this feels more like an intro to R class than a stats class. Prof. Grove's explanations of R concepts are pretty clear and she also gives a lot of examples. She also gives almost exact examples for homework problems in lecture. There were no exams and the final was a group project.

Maybe its the curriculum's fault but please take an introductory CSE class before this. She teaches the material okay during lecture but you immediately have to apply the concepts. There aren't chances to process and practice material. It's like a crash course for R and she expects your answers to be very precise as stated in the lab instructions.

Good at teaching the material, and is clear with her expectations. I think the biggest "issue" is that she's a tough grader but the instructions are always specific to what she wants.

Professor Grove is a really great professor, and a very caring person. She's said that she's pretty lenient about lecture attendance as long as you're diligent with watching the recordings. I'd say the syllabus was laid out clear, (not necessarily "easy" and yes, was time consuming) but was very straightforward.

She was clear about the instructions on programming with R Studio. Thanks to her, I was able to learn this programming language in a lot easier and quicker way. I think her deciding to grade us depending on our group project and weekly assignments instead of exams was very generous as well. She also has a great sense of humor always made us laugh!
