This class is all lecture but Ms. McCarter does a very good job of teaching to the class. If the class is struggling then she pushes stuff back and makes sure all are understanding. And for those that already get it, your free to leave and go complete your mandatory math lab hours. Only have to show up for tests and turn in homework.

She is a great Math teacher. Very clear and concise and since she is young she still has a passion for teaching. I was not at all excited about Stats, but she made it seem so easy. I would not only recommend you take her, but I would recommend you take her now and not put it off, because she is a really good teacher and you have nothing to fear.

This class was soooo easy, homework was given but you only have to complete barely 10 problems and they're due on test days. The tests were EXACTLY I MEAN EXACTLY the same as the homework and in class practice problems. I showed up only on test review days and spent barely an hour a week for this class. Take this class is you want a EAST A.

The score of one test with the lowest score out of the five tests is dropped. If the average of the 4 exams before taking the final exam is high, the average exam score is scored by *0.75 even if the final exam is not taken. The test is not too difficult as it is almost the same as the example you solved in class.

Profesor McCarter is actually the best math teacher ever. Her lectures explain everything you need to know on the test. You get a full binder sheet of notes on exams front and back. She is so nice and caring. I was scared to take this course because I am still a highschooler, but this class is legit easier than Algebra 1 in highschool.

Great Professor, took her class for summer and even with the packed schedule and increased speed of the course she still made it very accessible and smooth. Attendance after the first day was not required but recommended. Very thorough and easy to understand lectures.

Taken Spring 2023. Graded Work: Divided into 5 midterm exams, 5 homework assignments, 1 final exam, and 1 final project. Textbook: Not really necessary as she provides handouts with the problems needed for the homework. Overall a really great teacher. She took the time to make sure every student understood what was being taught.

Took her in summer, GREAT at explaining how to do everything in detail. Allows 1-2 double sided pages of notes on exams, barely any homework (only 1-2 questions per textbook section and they're the same as the exams), if you need help you can ask her after class. Attendance not mandatory, you can skip if you copy notes or already know the material.

I really enjoyed this professor!!! Her lectures were very thorough and for the class I took she provided support. The two first tests were very easy while the third was a bit tougher and the last was definitely more difficult. The only thing I wish is that we used the unit circle instead of only calculators.

I had a very good experience with Professor McCarter. The tests were overall very good, though the final results were lower than I had expected. I ended up getting a 96.1% and learning a lot, she goes over many homework questions during class. Definitely recommend, though I wish we used the unit circle rather than only calculators.

She broke down all the chapters easily so it's impossible to fail her class! The first exam was easy! But the 2nd & 3rd exam was harder because it has probability. The last few exams were easier because it has hypothesis testing, super easy to pass!

Professor McCarter is a very good lecturer that doesn't cut any corners. Explains everything in depth. Her online videos for every chapter were great and enabled me to not go to class (lol). This class is very easy, Just know how to use your Ti-84. I found this class to be outdated as you should really be learning how to use excel to do this.

Only 5 exams and 5 homework assignments, so as long as you keep up with the textbook or attend the lectures, it'll be a breeze. She likes to make jokes during lectures, but she is very clear and understanding of the material. Prof. McCarter is also very helpful if you have any questions. Make sure to have a TI 84 for exams.

She was a great teacher. Her lectures were easy to follow, and her notes were helpful and easy to understand. She posts her lessons online, but It is better to go to the lectures. She gives a break in between lectures and is very nice. You can use notecards in the exams, and in the final you get a whole page (front and back).

I struggled with college math classes and usually feel the work is unnecessary in depth or homework heavy for a single class which results with me doing more work for math than all my other classes combined. This class is NOT that. Her teaching is simple and thorough. HW is simple if you attend class. I felt confident about each test! Perfect!

TAKE HER! I dropped another math class with a (W) because I felt like the professor was more concerned about tricking us on exams rather than teaching us the curriculum. Prof. McCarter on the other hand has ONE goal and that is to make sure you understand so that you can feel confident going into exams I suck at math and got and A. Lock in! 10/10

theGOATTTT! Never went to a single lecture but still passed (wouldn't recommend if you aren't good at self-direction and whatnot). This review is kind of brainrot but I can assure you, this Prof is NOT! Genuinely so caring and competent, even checked up on me and urged me to come to lecture (I didn't listen but I def would've gotten an A if i did!)

(STATS C1000) TAKE HER!!! Seriously one of the best profs I've had. Her lecture are so clear and understandable, I'm not great at math but I never left her class confused. Super sweet and wants to see you succeed! 5 exams + the final. Drops lowest exam, HW due day of exam, easy final project and you can skip final if you're happy with your grade.
