Bober is ok. She teaches at a slow pace so it's good for the special people. Really boring even though she has notes you need to get a good grade in the class. She has crazy hair and always has chalk on her ass. take her if you are willing not to ditch.

She is a good teacher, gives lots of extra credit, at the end of the semester, if you don't miss class and do all the homework you'll probably get up to 8% extra to your final grade.

There were a total of 4 tests including final. Tests last the entire class . w/the abc's there were roughly 40 or so questions. She drops the first test and replaces it w/the final, asumming you did better on the final. The 3rd test we were able to redo for half the pts. IE: If you missed a problem that was worth 6 pts than u can redo it 4 3 pts

(cont)she is hard, but fortunately professor Bober does take time to review before the day of the exam (in which she pretty much tells you what will be on it, no surprises). As for her clarity, I give her a 3 due to the fact that her lectures are not organized enough, but let's face it, it's her first semester teaching Math 5A.

Immediately, you will notice Professor Bober's humility and kindness; these are her greatest qualities.

Hard. Sure, she's nice I give her that. But when it comes down to it, either you get it or dont. She does tell you everything that will be on the test, but there's always something nearly "out of the box" in the questions that kind of just screw you over.

She is the most helpful teacher ive ever had, she explains everything so that everyone understands it I don?t know if she is taught to teach that way or she just understands the mind of learning math. She is very sweet and doesn?t have a temper like some teachers if you ask to many questions, she goes over everything (homework, quiz, test, question

Professor Bober is an AMAZING teacher. She is very good at explaining the material and makes it easy for every student to comprehend. Not only that, but she GENUINELY cares about her students and does everything she can to help them succeed. If you struggle in math, I would strongly recommend her (well, even if you don't struggle).

Mrs Bober is one of the best professors in PCC. Her lectures are very organized, you just follow her steps, and then you will do well. Attendence and Homework are mandatory.

She's a good teacher but everything is deducted! If you're late a minute, have a slightly different answer, or you missed a little thing on tests and homework, you'll get it docked. However, she's helpful but it's her view so you need to pay attention. Also, no "cheat sheet" or formulas, at least, now right away. You can use the formula card later.

Avoid this prof if you are not a natural math/exam wiz. Her rigid grading scale is based 74% on exams (including the final) and she has no qualms about failing you, no matter how hard you try. Don't expect to transfer successfully if you end up in her class. You will be at PCC for another year of your life.

Avoid her. Hard work does not mean a thing to her. You're either great at stats all by yourself, or you can forget passing this course at all. No amount of work can prepare you for her purposefully tricky and confusing exams, which account for ~74% of your class grade, altogether.

Get ready for a challenge! Prof. Bober knows her stuff, and only wants her students to succeed. Attendance/participation/note-taking/staying on top of assignments is the only way you will pass this class. Statistics is a hard subject, but she does her best to make sure things are clear and detailed, and will always offer help if you need it.

Proff Bober's class was really complicated. She goes through lectures really fast. The textbook that she used was a really bad textbook. I got a lot of help through tutoring but i didn't get me a passing grade. Don't take her hybrid class it will make Stats really difficult and her lecture was only once a week, which makes it harder to understand.

Professor Bober is very kind and responds quickly to messages. Though, I think the class is very self-thought but homework is mostly easy and half has the answers posted at the end of the module.
