She seems very understanding and helpful at first, but when students ask her questions or ask her to repeat something in class she gets very agitated (to the point you do not want to ask her anything during class). The labs are excruciatingly boring and tedious but you have to go, and there are quizzes in lab as well.

Key Pointer to Pass Class: Do the homework in groups, make sure you attend class (iclicker points will help you) and know the material before class. As she flys through the slides and if you don't understand what is going on you will drowned in the information. Textbook isnt used, all info comes from slides.

She flys through chapters and gets mad when no one asks questions even though when she answers them she basically refers back to the slide that no one understood.

Cut this lady some slack!! She tries her best to make Stats entertaining at 8:30 AM, and offers a lot of clicker points. You get two tries on homework, which is all online. If you need individual instruction, she's not for you, but if you grasp things easily TAKE HER CLASS! Don't waste your money on the textbook. She'll say you don't need it.

I LOVED her. these ratings are wack. All you need to do is show up to class and take notes. there is homework online test every week or every 2 weeks that has 2 attempts you can redo if you do bad on it. if you ask her homework questions in class she basically tells you the answers. MAKES MY 8:30 AM BAREABLE. SHES REALLY FUNNY TOO!!!

3 exams only 25 questions each which makes it almost impossible to get an A. theres extra credit but really its just if u dont get 100 on the homeworks which you have to be an idiot to not do.. so basically there isnt extra credit and she isnt reliable and never posts anything she says she will on black board hard must attend class to get notes

Cimino was not very hard. Her exams were made up of questions off the homework or in-class notes. Notes are fill in the blank so make sure you go to class. No textbook required so that was very helpful!

She is very misleading. YOUR GRADE ON BLACKBOARD IS NOT YOUR ACTUAL GRADE. This can be really misleading since you have to calculate your own grade every time you get a new one. If you go to class and do the clicker points, you will get a good amount of extra credit. They dont amount to much so STUDY for the exams. Just print out the notes.

only 3 exams each only 25 questions making it almost impossible to get an A. tests are more definition based rather than actual stat which is annoying because it makes the most simple stat class u can take hard and more time consuming memorization wise. offers no extra credit for exams only on the online hw which u dont need the extra credit for

I LOVED her. Yes, the class is early, and yes she does only have 3 tests, but I learned a lot from her and I am not great at math. She tells jokes and tries to make it interesting. The clicker points help a lot so go to class. She literally gives you the notes, you just have to fill in the blank!! better than other profs

If you have not taken a STAT course prior to this, DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE WITH THIS PROFESSOR! She breezes over difficult topics. There are only three exams that are 25 questions (multiple choice). Thus, it is very hard to make a good score on the exams. The study guides are somewhat helpful.

Prof. Cimino is an amazing person. She cares about teaching and wants feedback from the students so that she can make teaching stats easier to understand. Coming to class makes it much easier for you on the tests and she does take attendance. With that being said, study your notes and homework for tests because the tests aren't that easy!

She reads from the slides the entire class, and the tests are 80% of your grade, which is a departmental issue, yet she even admitted when we got our second test grades back that she went over the material too fast, yet kept our grades as is, knowing its 80% of our grade?? Need to go to class to get material, does not put slides up online.

Prof. Cimino is really caring and she did a good job of teaching. Yes she goes a little fast but that's when it's your responsibility as the student to study outside of class. She is easy to talk to and relatable. She does not like talking or packing up early so you have to be respectful. I am not a math person but I have done well in this class!

I have STAT 110 with her and lets just say I would not recommend taking this class at all. She basically teaches off of a slide show which makes everything difficult and harder to understand . Shes also not accessible outside class which is another con . In conclusion if you have to take this class please find another professor

Cimino is a very funny professor and somehow made an 8:30 am bearable. The fill-in-the-blank notes are all posted on blackboard so just print those before class that day. Kinda had to teach myself some of the later chapters because she only did one or two example problems on the board. There's very easy online homework every week or so.

Cimino does not care at all if you pass and is rude. This isn't her full time job so she doesn't have any background experience in teaching and quite frankly doesn't know how to teach. Moves way too quickly through the notes. Only accessible outside of class through "online office hours" and didn't respond to e-mails. Don't take this class.

Dr. Cimino is a fair professor. She makes it very clear what her expectations are at the beginning of the semester and is not going to go out of her way to fix your mistakes. I'm terrible at math and I was able to pull a B+ from the class even with skipping a bit. Also, DO THE iCLICKER! It makes a HUGE impact on your grade.

Ignore all of the bad reviews, I LOVED Professor Cimino. I've never taken stat before and I fully understood every topic she taught. She is always open for questions, so ASK THEM! Print out the notes before going to class and they'll be really helpful when studying for exams. 10/10 would take again.

3 tests. Show up to most classes and fill in notes and you dont have to do much out of class work. There was a cheating issue on the 1st test and Cimino was really unhappy about it so wasnt always in the best mood with our class, rightfully so. Do what youre supposed to and youll get an A. I bombed 3rd test so I took optional final.

Ms. Wendy is very knowledgable about what she teaches and wants to see students succeed. Being a large lecture, it's hard to have individual time with her to review some material so don't take her if you need a lot of one-on-one instruction. There are 3 mandatory tests, one optional final that replaces the lowest test, plus a lot of clicker points.

Professor Cimino was very clear how the class would be from the beginning. There was homework almost every week and a few tests that were weighted heavily (also no partial credit). She wasn't always in a bad mood but when she was class was not enjoyable. Attendance wasn't mandatory but she'd randomly select people at the end of class for attendance

The class itself wasnt so bad, it was mainly just her. She moves ENTIRELY too fast through the chapters. There would be some days we would go through 3 chapters in 1 class. She is definitely not approachable, and not nice. I made sure I did all my work on time and studied, thats how I got an A, but it was hard.

The work is not that hard but she is terrible. Her ability to teach and enable learning is non-existent. Moves far too quickly through lectures, and if she's in a bad mood you will learn nothing. When the class went online, she simply posted all the notes and provided no guidance or instruction. If you actually want to learn statistics, avoid her.
