She teaches the information very well. However, she tends to teach beyond the designated time. Would kill her to let you go a minute early. She also doesn't grade on a curve and there is no way to get extra credit. She is a good teacher, but you have to perform well on her tests.

She has a lot to learn about teaching! No extra credit, no test reviews except final,& that's because all classes get one. Goes too fast,her response when you don't understand something is "oh well!", and "get help", "get a tutor, do your homework assignments" Isn't that what she's getting paid for? Steer clear of this one!

Ive always had a hard time with math related courses but Prof Axelrod is so easy to understand she teaches what you need to pass. Attendance isnt mandatory but homework is harder if you skip class. I dont know what other stat proff are like and I dont need to know because she's left a great teaching impression on me.

Statistics can be a difficult class. Professor Axelrod was one of the best teachers I've had. She lays out exactly how to do things and makes what could be very difficult very simple. Go to class though, learn how to do the work. She lets you use note cards on each test, and gives practice tests that are exactly like the actual test. Great teacher

Professor Axelrod isn't helpful when you are stressing the fact you are not understanding. She tells you not to give up but does not encourage you in ways to keep going to finish the course. Too many students in a class, per semester and you feel it. No individual time with the professor, math center did not help this semester. You can find better.
