Great professor!!! I have taken Stats before and hated it, but she made it very easy to understand. She gives very good lectures, shows lots of examples, and gives you extra credit chances. Her tests are not hard if you study. Attendance is crucial, she gives exit assignments to check attendance. 100% would take her again!!

Prof. Huffman was great! Ive never had a math instructor who explained things so well and thoroughly. Shes always available for help when needed. No extra credit, but she does offer five extra points per test if you get a 90 on the practice one. In class assignments and notes so you def need to go to class. Would definitely take again!

Really great professor, explained the material very well, tests were reasonable and there were no surprises, plus you get extra credit if you can score above a 90 on the practice exam.
