She's Crazy! But she knows what she's talking about, and she will talk with you individually, and she's open to criticism.

Best math teacher I've had so far. Fair on tests and quizes. I want to take all my math classes with her.

shes nice

The best math teacher I ever had! She really cares about how she can present the material in a way the students actually understand. For once math wasn't torture.

I took the online stats class. It was hard, but any stats class is. As long as you keep up with your work and try to understand the material you will do well. I feel behind on a lot of the homeworks, but studied hard and still got a b. The class is do-able. Enjoyed Rene very much. She is very helpful and is available to help you in person if needed

I took the online class which was difficult, but doable. Rene is extremely accessible through Webct and expect in the beginning homework twice a week and quizzes following it (60 mins).Homework is first come, first served, so whenever she posts the hw first person who logs in first gets choice of any problem (I dont like it).Midterm n cumul. Final

The best math teacher I have ever had. Explains why everything works the way it does unlike other math teachers who throw a formula and say "There's the formula use it." Very helpful and really cares about students.

She's really helpful and a great math teacher. She cares about the students really getting the math, she will help you all you want. Just do all the homework and listen to her and you will do fine.

Stats itself is hard. Stats online is even harder. Ms. Sporer was extremely helpful. She was very responsive to emails and answered all questions posted. There are online quizzes every two or three chapters and the homework is done by posting a problem and explaining it. The class is hard but Ms. Sporer will help if you ask for it.

At first i didnt know what to thinkg of mrs. Sporer and then i felt like she hated me so the class wasnt all that interesting but towards the end of the semester i really liked her and would deff. say she is a good teacher just a little hard to understand and def. a hard class

Rene' is an excellent teacher. Her lectures are crystal clear and the book, which she wrote, is very easy to follow. The homework is optional and minimal (about 15-29 problems a week *which is nothing for a math class). Tests are exactly like the hw. She is very helpful in class, math lab, or office hours. I don't recommend anyone else for stats.

Pretty easy class. She explains everything in class pretty well. HW is optional and no one really does it. Tests are just like class/HW. She even offers extra credit. Very approachable and truely wants you to understand it. Material isn't too bad for this class.

She is Awesome. I was not so thrilled about taking stats. Well at first I like she was going to be mean. As long as you put in the work and she knows you try she is more than flexible. She is one of the best math teachers I have ever had. If I could take all of my math classes with her I would. Homework not too much.Tests true to homework.

GREAT TEACHER!!!! I hated stats in High school, but she made it so clear that it ended up being my favorite class! She is crystal clear in teaching and is extremley helpful!! TAKE THIS CLASS!! you wont be disappointed!!

best teacher

I love Mrs. Sporer. she is knowledgable about her subject and makes something hard easy to understand. shes a great teacher and i acutally learned alot.

DO NOT TAKE STATISTICS ONLINE! I spent too much time figuring out how to type equations on Web CT rather than solving problems.Takes days to get simple responses via email.Bryan,the author of the book, also stars in the class videos.He is hilariously quirky.2pgs of notes are allowed for final exam and midterm.Be one with your TI-83 calculator. Ohm!

If you need to take a math course at DVC and go to the SR campus you have to take Sporer or Julia Walters simply the best math teachers I have ever had and if you have two brain cells you can rub together you can do exceedingly well in their class. I cannot rave enough about these two ladies.

Sporer is one of the best math teachers I've come across. She is very helpful and always available to help you when you need it or if its just to go notes to reexplain something. I took both of my math requirements with her. She grades kinda of hard but she makes you work for your grade and makes sure that u have an udnerstanding of what your doing

She's a hard but fair teacher. She answers questions on homework, and will work with students in the math lab. My only complaint was that she moved a little too fast. Her exams encompass everything that you've learned in the class up to that point. She does review before an exam for points. She offers some extra credit for going to the math lab.

191 is review of material you've learned, but applied in different ways. She teaches really well, is willing to help, and quite clear. Weights on her exams for the class was 40% (not counting the final-20%) which is my only complaint bcs we only took 2 exams, which means if you didnt do well on them-hard to get that A. Definitely worth taking.

GREAT teacher. She explained the material extremely well, and she made it clear what would be on the tests/quizzes. It is not an easy class, but if you work at it you can get an A especially because she is so helpful. Highly recommend.

She answers hw questions. She gives extra credit for people who show up to class when a lot of others don't. The quizzes and exams problems came from the hw problems (the same idea but different values) so do your hw. She collects hw every week so you need to work hard. She really loves math! Go to the math lab for credit and get help. She is helpful! Some times she runs with the martial and she unclear but just ask her questions after class or at office hours or at the math lab.

Sporer can come off rude, but I think in the end she just really wants us to pass. Her teaching ways are a little off, sometimes they aren't clear at all, but she can help you anytime. She is mean at times, but funny too. If you wanna work hard, take her.

She is very good at what she does. Its a fast paced class, but if you pay attention, do the work, you will be fine. She is a very good educator and is passionate about what she does

I am terrible at math so i was deathly afraid of taking this class! thanks to mrs. sporer i survived and would have to say shes pretty good. there is a HUGE stats project towards the end in 3 phases (50,50,150, points), hw weekly, tests, quizzes, final. some extra credit, get all you can. take her for stats

Knows her stuff. Tests are hard but she doesn't dock you too many points for stupid mistakes like dropping a sign. Maybe difficult to ask for help because some mistake her for being rude, but she isn't. She does a good job helping you understand the material if you are struggling. Throws curve balls on tests so be prepared for anything!

She is an amazing teacher. She goes through the materials very well. She will answer all your question that you have even when you are in the middle of a section. she answers all homework questions before its due even when its the day of. due all the homework and study for the test you should be fine. there is a stats project its a group project.

The work load in her class is manageable. There are HW assignments, tests, and a project. If you stay on top of everything than this class is easy; just devote a little time to HW and studying.

She's a funny person who's GOOD at teaching and will make you work HARD for an A. However, there are badly worded questions on her tests once in a while. I thought her summer stats class goes by a bit too fast; if its a major requirement for any of you, i'd HIGHLY recommend just taking it in the fall. but overall, it still was an excellent class.

She's very passionate about statistics/ math, and it SHOWS. She is a very understanding person, but she is far from a "push-over." If you're going to be absent, tell her before the class starts (e.g. if you wake up sick, email her), don't leave during class, and NO TEXTING. Extremely interesting person too! Definitely the best teacher I've had.

She may come off as really rude and sarcastic, but you'll learn to understand her humor. She LOVES her job and is always willing to help. You may not understand it the first time, but if you ask she has a million other ways to explain the concept. Show up, take notes, ask questions and you'll be good.

She's great at statistics and math in general. She knows her stuff and is open to questions all the time if you do not understand. Her tests and quizzes are pretty fair. Attending every lecture and doing homework is important. If you keep with the pace it should be a doable, not an easy class, but if you slack it'll be hard.

She can be intimidating. It helps to get into study groups and be sure to do the homework and practice at home! Everything is equivalent so you need to start soon. See her in her office hours, she will acknowledge. She is very direct. it's right or its wrong, there is no grey with her. Overall it wasn't bad for a math class

great teacher! i really struggle w/ math &she was always willing to help gives extra credit, i think people are confusing rude 4 blunt but still she is very nice! will return amount of effort & respect that you give her. she goes at the pace of the classe's understanding & doesnt make U memorize tedious formulas hw/tests/quizes are fair,TALK 2 her!

Absolutely incredible professor. She is really fair. She doesn't make her students memorize an unnecessary amount of things. Her teaching method is very direct and easy to understand. I'd highly suggest anyone to take a class with this professor. I absolutely love her!!

It's a hard class so you need to study constantly but she is very helpful and her tests are based off of her textbook. She grades very fairly (too nice to be honest) and like I said the questions are based off the textbook

Good instructor who really wants you to learn and comprehend what she's teaching. Would rather take her time to let everyone understand the material, rather than rush through it to get it done. Offers extra credit in the math lab. Do your homework, and pay attention in class, and study for the tests and you should get at least a B, if not an A.

If math is second nature to you, this instructor is just fine. However, if math is not your strong point, you will need to study hard and constantly to get a good grade. She is one of the few teachers that puts students ahead of materials, and she will slow down the course if people are struggling. I would recommend her.

Shes the best math teacher that i have ever had in my LIFE ever, but the exams, and quizzes are hard because its a lot of critical thinking and its nothing like the homework, you really need to understand every concept and apply it to very different kinds of problems. I would recommend her but don't expect to get an A unless your a genius

I've never been good at math in my life til I took this class. Superb teacher, she explains everything so well and goes with the pace of the class. 3 quizzes, 2 tests, 1 take home. Offers e.c. and attendance points. Exams are tough but she provides a good practice exam prior. I got an A, and I've always been awful at math! (LOTS OF HARD WORK THOUGH

I really liked Prof. Sporer. She is strict, but she goes witht he pace of the class. However, if the rest of the class is ready to move on but you're still confused, she has specific times when she's available for help and stats tutors in the math lab. I'm very happy I took this class, just study hard, do the homework, and take notes. Good luck!

AMAZING teacher! I took Math 120 in the fall with a different professor and dropped, I decided to retake it this spring with Sporer and now have an A in the class due to her amazing teaching skills. She is strict but will do just about anything to make sure you understand the material, and always makes herself available. Great professor overall!

Great teacher!!! She is very strict, but she WILL teach you algebra in a clear organized format. Take good notes, do all homework and study for tests. She also offers extra credit for doing your homework in the math lab.

Sporer is an excellent teacher. Her personality scares a lot of people off at the beginning of the semester, but don't be fooled. She is sarcastic, funny, and the best calc teacher I have ever had. She wants you to understand the material and is willing to do many examples with you until you do. I left her class feeling prepared for calc 1.

She's alright, talks about her horses a lot, but alright none the less

Awesome teacher! Accessible (tutoring and office hours) - she wants you to learn the material. Not too hard, but a fast-paced pre-calc class, so get help ASAP if you are confused. Enthusiasm for her topic help keep a positive atmosphere in class. Highly recommended teacher.

I came into the class LOST, but I came to class everyday, listened, did the HW and studied and eventually I started to understand. You have to make sure you get everything in the beginning of the course because the topics are cumulative and build on each other. Tests are HARD! you must STUDY. Not an easy A. She is a very good teacher tho!

Shes a very nice professor, We get side-tracked alot and the lectures take FOREVER but shes extremely helpful if you ask nicely. The study guides are similar to the tests, and it is possible to get a B with routine studying.

She may seem mean at first, but once you get to know her. Shes nice. She gives out labs to prepare for tests. The group project was difficult at first, so start ahead of time so you can email her for help. You need to study for the test and quizzes. the notes helps you understand the material. She will explain it until you understand it.

Really good teacher, I felt like I learned a ton and was really prepared to move on to Calc. Gives homework out of the book which I hugely appreciated and will give you feedback on it when you turn it in so you know if you're doing it the way she wants. Posts really good practice tests and always has in-class reviews for all the tests.

This teacher is unreasonably challenging. Her tests are alot different from her review. She often takes a while to email back which can be annoying. If you don't like word problems, AVOID HER!!! She will help you in her office hours though if you need help.

I don't know why anyone would say she's mean, she's just very straight forward. She also makes you WORK for everything. There's no slacking in this class, but she does know her stuff so it's best for you to pay attention. Best math professor I've had at this school so far.

Excelent.

She may be tough at times, but does actually care about students and tries to help everyone pass. If you ask for help when needed she will help.

Professor Sporer is an amazing math teacher. She makes the material easy to understand. There is a lot of homework , but she gives you a week after the lecture to complete it. There are group labs and a group project. The labs are really helpful, but I personally don't like group projects, so that was my least favorite part of the class.

Best math teacher I've ever had. She gives help in the lab when I need it, and is very nice. She is a great person, and I like to hear her talk about her horses :)

I was very nervous about taking Statistics, but I am very pleased with this teacher. She did a very good job with lecturing and opportunities for success. She really cares about he students doing well in class. Gives many chances for extra credit which helps a lot. A lot of group projects but she lets you choose your groups. Best math teacher!

Sporer may seem intimidating, but she's very sweet and caring. She makes you work hard so that you'll be prepared for calculus. She is very accessible before and after class and will gladly help you with anything. The textbook is free and online. She has one take home exam, so you can make up your previous test scores. Study hard and you'll pass!

Best math teacher! She assigns the homework and its typically due 2 classes after. The first class she allows you to ask questions in class if youre struggling. Shes quick with her lectures but makes sure you completely understand before moving on. Attendance, the textbook, and a graphic calculator are all a must for each class.

Very organized, clear expectations for success. Fast grader. Lots of online and office hours dedicated for students. She is a great teacher. On the flip-side, she grades very hard. Lots of group projects, lots of homework. And she can be intimidating when you're confused on something.

Her lecture was awesome and very practical!

I was really nervous when I had to take statistics. Professor Sporer is the best teacher I've had for math. She holds office hours before class and she gives you credit for trying your best. She has a ton of outside source material in case you don't get it the first time. I feel like I really earned my grade in her class. She is so nice and funny!

She was very understanding and tried her best to make statistics more interesting. She was always willing to lend a hand especially when the material was hard to understand.

Challenges you to think! Also loved her home improvement/horse racing math analogies. Prof Sporer was very nurturing and really likes to see her female students succeed in the field of mathematics. Although she wasn't the easiest for precalc, this class is good preparation for calculus. She has inspired me to continue my studies in math and science

Prof. Sporer is the best math teacher I've had! YOU HAVE TO GO TO CLASS! Even if you miss one, it's difficult to catch up... But, she really cares about her students and wants them to do well. She's always there for office hours and offers extra credit if you go to the Math Lab to get help! She's the best math teacher I've ever had! TAKE HER!
