What Students Say

for stat there are like 3 tests each worth 20% of your grade so gg if u don't pass one, tests are nothing like practice she gives, lectures are confusing, some of the things she teaches isn't even in the textbook or online so gg DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS UNLESS YOU ARE A GENIUS WHO ALREADY KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT STAT

The class is difficult (even as an introductory class to linear algebra), but she is great at teaching the concepts, and does many examples in class that will help you with the homework/tests.

She's good, definitely knows her stuff and is very clear when explaining concepts. if she realizes a couple of people don't get something, she'll go back and make sure everyone understands it, before moving on- which most professors don't do!

This has been the worst professor I've had throughout my college years. Some of the questions you get on your weekly quizzes are questions you don't cover in class. Also if you fail one of your test, you can assume you get an F in the class. Do yourself a favor and don't sign up for her class, her goal is to get paid, not for you to succeed.

for stat there are like 3 tests each worth 20% of your grade so gg if u don't pass one, tests are nothing like practice she gives, lectures are confusing, some of the things she teaches isn't even in the textbook or online so gg DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS UNLESS YOU ARE A GENIUS WHO ALREADY KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT STAT.

She often explains things in a clearer manner than the book does. The book is still great and you should still read it. Only thing that I did not like was that we were learning up until 2 days before the final exam. Other than that the course is good.

If you can, avoid this professor at all costs. Her lectures, worksheets, and guided notes will never fully prepare you for quizzes or tests. She does examples wrong in class on a consistent basis, but if you make the same mistake on a quiz or test little to no partial credit is given.

Avoid at all costs, I have her for stats which is a 3 credit hour course but the amount of studying you have to do to even have the potential for a good grade supersedes that of a 4 credit hour course. Grade is determined by 3 tests, weekly quizzes that are on lockdown browser for the most part, and a final exam so no room for error.

There are 4 tests in this class ( including the final ). You are only graded on three things. Three tests, one final, and the quizzes. There is nothing to help you bump your grade up. She is a very hard grader on the quizzes and does not give partial credit at all. She will not round you up or empathize with you. This class is a GPA dropper.

She isn't a bad person per say, however most of the concepts needed to understand linear algebra. She rather than being coherent with the given topic, will act as if you already knew the topic to begin with, with one not knowing how or what to understand, to then finally tell you what the concept is. As an example LINEAR TRANSFORMATION MY GOD.
