If you've taken AP Stat in high school, this is an easy A. However, she doesn't really explain topics beyond the exact wording of the powerpoints used so if you haven't had some background in stat, this class could be really confusing. The topic isn't hard and she isn't a hard grader. Extra credit for attendance (random)

Avoid this class at all costs if you are not a natural at statistics. expect to teach yourself everything, and she goes through power points way too fast.

Overall, the class is not terrible but definitely not what you would expect. Attendance is required, and each lecture she reads through the current chapters powerpoints.

Professor Gunter was difficult to follow along with. The exams are online and open note but still super challenging. She is hard to reach outside of class and there is no SI. Her slideshows are posted online but do not contain all the information on the exams. Go to class, teach yourself, and pray if you want an A.

Gunter is a good teacher. She wants her students to succeed. Attendance is not mandatory but she gives extra credit to those who show up. If you take the notes posted before class it makes it extreemly easy to follow along and fill in the work she leaves blank due to doing it in class. She goes fast but is accomadating, all you have to do is ask.
