Ms. Farmer is really nice. She gives very clear notes which the tests come from. the tests are only 7-10 questions, but they are easy as long as you do the homework and study the notes. If you don't you will fail because they are like 20 points a piece. There is a quiz every week which I think are harder than the tests. Do the HW!

Wouldn't take again

She is really boring and moves slowly. She doesn't seem to enjoy teaching. She treats the students like they are still in high school. Attendance isn't mandatory but she does offer extra credit if you have less than 3. I literally went to class less than 10 and passed with a 98.

Very good instructor! She is very soft-spoken and very caring. She will stay after class to answer questions you may have as well as during her office hours. Completing homework without using notes was recommended and helped me greatly! Utilize the "Similar Questions" button! I would definitely take her again!

One of my favorite professors. She's super sweet and loves to teach. She doesn't penalize for not coming to class, but she gives bonus points for attending, along with other bonus opportunities. I found her lectures to be clear and to the point. There is a good amount of homework, but that's to be expected with a math class and it didn't take long.

While Prof. Farmer does give a lot of homework, it is to make sure that you understand the material. She will answer any question you may have and responds to emails quickly. If you don't understand something, she will work out several problems to make sure you understand them.

Mrs. Farmer is very sweet! She was a great professor. My only con about her class but I'm sure it's for all math classes is you've got to have an 85 on the practice exam before the real one would open. I wound up withdrawing because I got an 83 on the practice and missed my first exam. Tests carry a lot of weight! I would take her again.

I took AP Statistics and did not understand a single thing that was taught, but this professor is a GAME CHANGER! Loved her. I do gotta say I underestimated her first exam and ended up from an A to a C, but after that I kept practicing and ended up with a 98 in her class.

I took this class with its co-requisite (MTH100) so it was double the work! Professor Farmer did an amazing job breaking down the material throughout both of these courses. Even though attendance isn't mandatory, you will not pass if you don't have anyone to send you notes! Ask questions and attend office hours if your schedule allows.

10000/10. I took ma112 with mth100 and it was a heavy course load but she made the classes easy! She is willing to help and goes over everything in class. She does not mind answer questions. Attendance does not matter but if you go to class you will have a better understanding.

Dr. farmer was very good at first, but as the course goes on the lecture videos get so much longer. I spend at least 5 hours a week doing stats homework. Theres also a lockdown browser+webcam quiz every single week. Is the class hard? Kinda. Is it tedious and WAYYYY too much homework? Absolutely. She will help you and is very nice though. 5/10 rec.

The prof was nice and will give helpful feedback when asked. There is a quiz every week w/lockdown and lots of homework. 3 exams and a final. It was a super easy course but after the 6th week it got harder w/more work. If you are a dedicated student who will take out 3-4 hours a week after the 6th week for this course, you should be fine.

Farmer prepares her students very well for an online course. She also sends emails weekly with reminders of what is expected. Be prepared to work every week on homework assignments and a weekly quiz. The course seems easy at first but do not be FOOLED!! This class is tough and you cannot do things last minute. Watch her lectures and take notes.

Stats is going to take some time. Her lectures are at least around 2 1/2 hours week. Some of the homework takes forever but you have unlimited chances per question. Three attempts on each quiz so that is helpful. Practice exams consist of similar questions on exams but there are 50+ on them, so is it really worth it? Good professor but takes time.

This is the best math teacher you will ever have. She is amazing at explaining the concepts and will help you when you ask her. I also took her for MTH 112 at the same time as MTH 100 and she made both just as easy as the other. Her grading and dropping are amazing. Her practice exams help you with the real exams so much. I would highly recommend.

Professor Farmer was awesome, her lectures have everything you need to know in order to succeed in this class. So, if you show up you will do fine. You will have paper notes to fill out during class(not collected) and like 3/4 hw assignments per week and then a quiz at the end of the week and later a test every 3ish chapters. Very manageable!

Professor Farmer's ST210 class is challenging but manageable with dedication. The lectures are informative, and she provides ample support. Consistent engagement and utilizing resources like unstuck study can make this stats course quite rewarding.
