The professor herself is a very nice person and if you need help, she has office hours and is willing to help you. However, do expect to do A LOT of work. The work isn't hard, but there is a lot of it. The quizzes are not bad, just study and you'll pass (no tests). Overall would reccomend her!

She is a good teacher and she cares for her students. Her Stat class was not hard but she didn't make it easier either. Prepare to WORK A LOT because she gives you A LOTS OF WORK as if this is the only class you are taking. Hard grader and takes forever grading your work. Good thing is that she offers extra credit if you want it.

Honestly guys take Dr. Raskoff you won't regret it. She's definitely one of the best professors I've ever taken. She gives so much extra credit, she has a great personality, and she's GREAT at explaining formulas and statistical concepts. I initially thought that I was going to fail miserably in Stats, but she made everything so simple and clear!

Professor Raskoff is good professor. Her lectures were good and at times when they were confusing it was very helpful to go to her office hours. She did give a lot of work but if you can keep up you will be fine. You definitely have to earn your grade. You will learn a lot in this class but if you want a easy A this is not the class for you.
