A really great professor who gives you as many resources as she can to help for this class. You can tell she cares about the students and you can see the effort she puts into her lectures. This class is very demanding and requires a lot of hard work but is manageable with the right mindset. Don't skip any lectures, in-class notes are crucial!

Stats is challenging, but do-able. Dr. Patterson is an amazing lecturer, she provides you with notes so that you can write down the important things and help you comprehend the subject. If you do the daily's right after class, do the hw's in the tutoring lab sessions, and study your notes, then you'll be able to score at least a B on those exams.

She is a great professor. Her lectures are super engaging and not boring whatsoever. She clearly explains the concepts and she makes the material easier to understand. She does go over time with the lectures however. Attendance isn't mandatory but it's hard to learn the material by yourself outside of class.

Staci is so passionate about stats and knows how to teach it VERY WELL especially for those who are slow to learning. Going to class and listening is crucial to your grade in the class, and do the dailies. You don't get feedback on what you do wrong on the dailies and hws so it's hard to improve. All exam q's are from textbook so put in the EFFORT

Professor Patterson tries to make this class easy for you to pass! The material may be difficult, but there is so much extra credit opportunity to bring your test grades up. Take advantage of going to her office hours and getting help if you do not understand a topic. DO THE TEST REVIEWS!!!!!

Taken Fall 2020, She's a good professor all lectures were uploaded and they are easy to follow. She does a good job of explaining problems but STATS is just a hard class. 90% of your grade tests the other 10% is HW. HW is hard and is actually graded. Tutors are available if you need any help. YOU NEED TO STUDY !!

This class is HARD but Dr. Staci is NOT a bad prof! She explains her lectures thoroughly, offers extra credit, and there are TA's available for help. Do not skip any lectures, understand the concept. Exams are based on concept understanding, not similar questions from lectures. DO THE 3 TEST REVIEWS! Be ready, this class will tire you out!

Dr. Patterson is probably the best professor at UH. The topics are somewhat difficult, but if you do the fill in notes, each "daily" problem (they're extra credit), and each of the three practice tests for each exam, which take about 40 min each, it's easy. I put about 4hr/week into the class (including lectures), hw avg of 75, and still got an A.

Firstly, Business Stats is hard with or without a good professor, you NEED to pay attention and go to class. The professor was good but an important note is whatever she writes down, you write down, this professor gives good advice on how to pass exams, she has small side notes in lectures on how to do certain problems with different method.

The ratings for Professor Patterson are UNBELIEVABLY off. Yes this class is difficult, yes you have to buy a textbook(its college) but its achievable! Just because you failed doesnt mean the professor sucks. This class does take a lot of time and in order to succeed you need to put a lot of time aside. However, lecture prepare you very well!

If you do not watch the lectures, you will 100% not pass. A lot of work but doable. HW assignments take time and extra credit is very long as well (needs to be started at the start of semester itself). total 3 exams. Not too bad but you actually have to put in the work.

took patterson spring 2021 and it is definitely doable. watch lectures every week and do the practice probs that go with them. there are ALOT but if u do them little by little, its doable. DONT leave things to last minute and do each practice exam they RLY help. do all practice probs and get ur lowest exam score replaced. its def alot of effort

If you do not watch her lecture videos you definitely will not pass. She explains things well but stats is a hard class overall. There were 3 tests that were very hard but she would give curves. If you do all the practice problems throughout the semester, the overall grade of the practice problems will replace your lowest test grade.

I thought she was a good professor. Stats can be hard if you aren't good at math (obviously), but I think she did a good job explaining things. Do the daily extra credit. Print the notes. Do all the practice tests. Doesn't take a ton of effort to learn IMO. I bet most of the people complaining didn't do all the extra stuff, common theme in college.

Statistics is hard in general and this class requires a lot of practicing in order to earn a good grade. Her lectures are posted on Blackboard and there are lots of practice problems for each of the exams. She gets lots of bad reviews, but she is a great professor. Keep up with the class work and practice, practice, practice. Tutoring is available.

With a 70 and an 85 on the 2 curved exams, 100's on the extra credit practice problems, and 95 on graded HW, I made an A-. TAKE HER

Im fully convinced that the people who complained about this class are the same ones not willing to put any effort into school. Start studying for exams at least three days in advance and do each practice test multiple times. I literally stopped going to this class after Exam 2 because I did well on the first two tests and finished all the PPs.

Dr. Staci is an AMAZING professor! Her class provides a lot of information, and a lot of studying to do, however for a business student you have to know if you want to take things seriously or not. She will help you throughout the course if you want to pass. The course is not hard, it IS time consuming, but you do have to put the work to pass. ��

Dr. Staci is the best professor I have taken at UH. The class material is hard so be sure to follow her study plans and do the practice problems. She records mini-lectures in case you don't go to class, they serve as a great review tool. Get her class notes packet as soon as you can! I slacked the last couple of weeks but managed to get a B+.

After taking this class 3 times, I finally passed with a C. This is one of the hardest classes at UH. Be prepared to study hard. What I didn’t like was that her lectures had nothing to do with the hw or tests. She explained her lectures perfectly, it just didn’t coincide with the hw. Tests are worth the most so please study.

This class is extremely hard, but if you put in the work and do the practice problems you can easily pass. There is a curve for every test and a different grading scale because of how difficult the material is. She cares about you being successful and actually makes you understand the material.

I loved this teacher and the way she teaches. I went into each test thinking I was going to do well, but when I saw my grade I failed. This class is very hard and I attended class everyday. I did all of the practice homework and studied like crazy, but I ended up having to drop it. Take this course at your own risk.

Stats is mildly difficult with Patterson as you have 3 tests (no final) and you can replace your lowest test grade with the practice problems. The practice problems are just like the homework and help you understand the topic. Also, she posts lectures online so you do not have to go to class. The tests are like the practice exams.

Great and enthusiastic professor. She explains everything in detail during class and has 5-minute video lectures to supplement with. The course itself is extremely tedious and the passing rate is low, but feasible to pass. Make sure to do all the extra credit practice problems, homework, and study in advance for exams with the practice exams.

This class is doable. I didn't like the textbook though. Homework due every other week, and practice questions due before the exam. Practice exams are helpful in preparing you for the exams. I had a good time in this class. It's not a "blow off" class so you actually have to work for your grade. She's pretty entertaining. It's not that bad.

A great teacher with a lot of energy. The material is very tough and exams only get harder. You have assignments due every 2 weeks, and 3 tests. Before the tests you have to complete the practice problems. Some are composed of around 9 different chapters with almost 15 questions each; Will replace your lowest exam grade. Do all the work to pass.

Her lectures in person are very energetic and her online lecture videos are detailed as well. This class is heavily weighted on the tests, however, do the practice problems and get a 100! They'll help you understand the class better and she replaces an exam with the practice problem score. Stat is a doable A if you put forth the effort.

Requires a lot of work but nothing you can't handle. The exams are just like the practice exams. Also, complete the practice problems and get 100% on them; your lowest test score can be replaced. I recommend going to her lectures she's very enthusiastic and teaches you precisely what you need to know. Put in the work, and you will do good!

The professor is nice and makes lectures interesting and explains the material very well. I went to class half the time enjoyed in person lecture, however if you don't go to class you can watch her videos. Her videos are very helpful and help you learn the material from your required notebook very easily.

I walked into this course thinking it was going to be horrible but it wasn't. This is not a blowoff class. The professor teaches very well the material, but you do have to review the material outside of class and do the practice problems to understand it. If you don't or become lazy then the class will become a bit hard but overall its not bad.

Though tests but there are plenty of extras to help you pass. I am not sure if all stats classes would be this hard but the professor is very clear and energetic while teaching.

Honestly, she is one of the best professors ever. She gives you everything you need to be successful on the test. I came into this class thinking it would be super hard and it really wasn't. Do all the practice problems, actually, put effort into the class and you'll get an A. Do not let the bad reviews scare you!

The class is very hard, lots of studying to do. Do ALL your practice problems they really do help. She is very good at explaining things in her lectures.

Amazing professor. Lectures are engaging and easy to follow, but I found it easier for me to just stay at home and review her recorded videos. Class is very test heavy, do your practice problems and study them! Study the test reviews she gives you! Free extra credit worth up to 50 points on an exam. If you do, you will make an easy A.

You have to be prepared to study the math and do the practice problems. From the few people I knew taking the course, they said they were failing and ultimately dropped the class later in the semester. Please do the practice problems because they up your grade in the end, I'm begging you. She teaches straight to the end of class, so be attentive.

Professor Patterson is on my mount rush more of the most amazing math teachers I've had over the years. Her in-person lectures are not boring she keeps you engaged. If you review your class notes and do the practice problems you will be a OKAY. The practice problems add an extra 50 points to your grade and overall help you learn the material. 10/10

Showed up to a the first few classes and realized I wasn't learning from someone who talks constantly and really quickly. The online lectures were the exact same as in person so it was useful to review. She's nice and helpful. DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS. ALL OF IT. it saved me

3 curved tests 90% of grade no attendance required. Bonus points for up to 50 of your lowest exam ( on top of it being curved) if you do the bonus questions ( a lot so do it beforehand). Tests should not be too hard if you spend effort.

Ms. Patterson is very engaging and her lectures were always energetic. There is a bit more than average homework but gives practice problems as extra credit for the entire course. I would recommend you do them since it can be a +50 to your lowest exam grade. The final exam is not cumulative.

She was very engaging in all of her lectures, but if you did not attend you can easily fall behind. Definitely recommend doing the practice problems and the practice tests, and if you can keep up with all the work then this class can be an easy A.

Class was challenging, since you have to be really time managed. It has 3 tests, which account for 90% of grade, the rest is homework. Do the extra credit !! not only helps your grade, but also allows you to grasp the concept better because (at least for me) some of it didn't make sense in the lecture

There is a lot of work for this class but most of it is optional for extra credit. If you do the optional homework you can get 50 points added to your lowest test which is very helpful. All of the lectures are online so you don't need to go to class but she is very good at teaching the subject and seems to care a lot about our understanding.

She knows her material very well and gives you short cuts to formulas, so you don't have to do it the long way. But if you don't understand her short cuts then you may have to read the textbook from time to time which is what I did. PLEASE do the practice problems throughout the semester. Treat it like its homework. It's an amazing exam booster.

It's not a hard course if you put in time and effort. I did not read the textbook, I just went to class or watched her videos and finished all practice problems and homework assignments. Dr Patterson gives good lectures that keep you engaged and shortcuts to solving questions.

Actually really enjoyed this class! Her lectures were clear and well presented. Attendance not mandatory but attending lectures leading to exam day is highly recommended. This is a class you will need to put more effort in if math is your worst subject, so do the practice problems. If you relatively like math (like me), the class is not a big deal.

This class is definitely rigorous however, if you attend the lectures and do all of your homework you will be very well prepared for the exams. She does review sessions before each exam, you just have to put in the work outside of class. You can tell she loves stats and has a lot of energy during her lectures which helps you stay engaged.

Honestly the class isn't hard it's just like an average class on difficulty. However, you need to set aside so much time in order to pass, because the practice problems WILL help you near the end (SO DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS). Other than that your graded on 3 tests (no cumulative) and 7 Homeworks.

This class is very heavy, if I had more time I would've gotten a much better grade. She does offer extra credit which is up to 50pts on your lowest test grade. The only thing is the test is MUCH harder then any of the material taught so take that as you will

This class is a LOT of work. I was on the precipice of an A but started lacking for test 3. Do the homework and practice problems as soon as they're assigned and go over notes once class ends. This class is doable but you can't slack throughout the whole semester if you want to succeed. Her lectures are energetic and well-paced. Good prof!

if u aren't trying to study… do NOT take her. She's a great professor and is aware that this class is hard which is why she curves. Do the practice problems that will help you a lot for the end of the semester curve. Study a lot alone. Usually what she teaches in class is easier than practice problem and exams so STUDY.

Loved this Professor! Don't listen to the other reviews…. A lot of them just don't like statistics. IF YOU HAVE TO TAKE STATS TAKE STACI. She was great in office hours and very caring as a person. She really helps you understand the material and gives plenty of extra credit which helps bump your grade up at the end. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!!

At first, I was scared when I chose this class because of her low rating and bad reviews, but she is one of the best professors I've had so far. Her lectures are thorough and amazing. She is interactive and makes her class worth going to. Just take all notes, do the practice problems (extra credit), and turn in all homework.

She obviously loves what she teaches and has a silly spunk. Not sure why she has a low score, her lectures are very thorough. She posts lectures online which was helpful. Make sure to do the MindTap problems because you can get up to 50 points added to your lowest test score by doing them. Closest thing to tests are the practice tests so do them.

Just be ready, this class is very exam heavy. But she offers an insane amount of extra credit for your lowest exam grade. She has all her lecture videos online, but I would still recommend going to class. She was a great teacher and very energetic, I would highly recommend her!

One of the best professors I have had. She has a real talent for breaking down hard concepts into easy-to-understand explanations. Extra cred is added to lowest exam grade if you do mindtap practice problems. Class is very interactive, and you can really tell how passionate she is. My advice is to go in with an open mind and believe in yourself.

This was the hardest math course I've taken, but Prof. Staci did her best to make this course as smooth as possible. There are 3 exams and I recommend doing the MindTap problems as their points are added towards your lowest exam grade. I also recommend taking multiple attempts at the practice exams as they are somewhat similar to the actual exam.

Don't let the negative reviews scare you! Honestly, coming from someone who isn't good with math, it was hard at first. However, after you get the hang of it, it's very much possible. Exams are similar to the practice exams & homework problems. Please , PLEASE do the practice problems so you don't have to worry about the last test!

She is the best professor I've ever had. Very organized, has answers posted to literally any question you could possibly have, and has clear video examples as well if you can't go to class. The bad reviews are very misleading. If YOU can't stay on top of the workload / make it to your exam, that is your problem, not hers 🤣

Very passionate & good at what she does. Her in-person lectures are good, but online videos help far more. I think most of it has to do with the fact that the writing in-person deducts from peoples learning and makes the fast-paced material feel even faster. If you have time, this class should be a breeze. If not, I'd suggest doing it at a CC.

Dr. Patterson was an awesome professor. This course provided a great insight on Business Statisitics in the business industries. The lecture was great and as long as you complete the assignment on time and make sure to look over any notes she posted. Make sure to use the tutor. Overall, this was an awesome course. (Took it in Fall 2024)

Don't believe anything less than a 4. Lectures are great, videos are just as good. A=85%, Exam heavy, 50 exam points credit offered. The textbook is simply a workbook. She WILL make stats easy. If you don't listen to lectures and don't study for the exam, then DUH you're going to fail. A- with minimal effort. (Never did the hw)

She is a good professor with good and interesting lectures but lacks in explaining some topics for the tests! The class is extremely test heavy with weird tests and wording. She offers practice problems that you SHOULD do. If I did even a few more practice problems I would be sitting at a B-. Make sure to do them!!
