Comment:
She's clearly passionate about the course material, but makes the class atmosphere extremely stressful. There were also questions on quizzes & exams that weren't in the course material, which multiple students noticed. No assignments/papers; 95% of grades came from exams & quizzes, 5% psychsim worksheets, which were basically participation marks.

Dianne is an excellent prof in my opinion. Her lectures are very helpful & she always checks to make sure students understand the material. She is very clear about what will be on exams, so as long as you study the chapters & pay attention in class you will be fine. 3 exams (25% each), 1 exam (10%), brain lab, psych sims & online quizzes.

Her tests were based on the textbook and she dropped hints in class about questions on the test. Good and engaging lectures too. 3 tests worth 25% and 1 test worth 10%. Online quizzes are also easy and come from txtbook

This is my second time with Dr. Crisp. I definitely recommend her for this class and stats! Quite knowledgeable and passionate. There are 4 exams, 3 of which are 25% and one is 10%. Just show up for the brain lab and other classes and you easily get about 7%. There are also weekly online quizzes which are pretty easy, just study the chapters!

picked at random students. Was heavily test based. when you need help she just repeats the same thing. very random with her topics. trys to make class fun but for some kids they seemed shy and it did not feel good when she picked on you for class for math questions especially if you weren't good at math.

Comment:
I personally feel as if she may be strict but a good prof which makes everything crystal clear but she had embarrassed me in front of the whole class for not having a calculator whereas, other students also hadnt. She was cold towards me but she was just probably just having a bad day . I withdrew because I felt small & irrelevant .

the class was partially online, so we only met a week before the exam and on exam day. The class was pretty basic, with 4 midterms, a mini brain lab, online quizzes, and online activities. Her exams were fairly straight forward, and as long as you do the readings, you should be good!

There were 3 tests, 3 labs, 13 weekly online assignment and one extra credit (take a self-fee from an exhibition in UBC gallery and upload to moodle). Buy the calculator that the prof told you. As long as you go to class, study the textbook and do the assignments. You will pass the course. She was willing to give a tutorial for extra help.

Dianne was a good prof and I enjoyed stats for the most part. The class was test heavy and there was homework every week (the aplia assignments) which i thought was useless. Nonetheless, if you do majority of them, you would at least end up with a decent mark. Finally, if you're stuck in her class, feel free to ask for help! She is helpful!

Dianne randomly calls on students to answer questions. Every week you are required to complete online hw on Aplia which is worth 20% of your grade. A majority of your grade - 70% - is based off tests (30,30,10). This course is not easy! P.s. You will need to purchase a textbook with an Aplia code.. it is quit expensive

She is so hard to see during office hours or app. She is test based and if you understand the textbook that doesn't always mean you will understand the tests. Ask help I tell you to know and she picks on you during class so prepare before coming.

Dianne is a really good prof, going into this course I thought it would be a struggle but she really does go out of her way to make sure everyone understand the material. Her tests are very fair. She answers all your questions and goes over the previous week's lecture to make sure everyone is clear on the material. Would defiantly recommend her.

Comment:
She calls upon people randomly which is very annoying, but it makes you pay attention. I was nervous about the class because my last math type course was in grade 11 (6 yrs ago), but in Dianne's class, I'm doing really well. Her tests are fair, on our first exam, the class average was 70%. If you can get past her calling you out she's a good prof.

Comment:
Dianne's class was a bit intimidating at first because she loves to call on people for answers, but this technique helped keep me more engaged with the material. She does give a lot of homework, but I found that by making sure I was doing the homework correctly, I didn't have to study for the exams. Solid prof - would take a course with her again

Dianne Crisp is a awesome teacher in the aspect that she teaches thoroughly. However, she will make you put name tags out so she can call on you and make sure you are listening and understanding. There is weekly homework which is online called aplia. You must read textbook for tests and homework. Homework is 20% which is extremely difficult.

Dianne is nice and funny. She is so good at teaching the concepts, just make sure you read the chapters before the tests which are also easy. Def reccomend her!

Comment:
As a straight A student, I thought taking Dianne's class would be a piece of cake. Man, was I wrong. No matter how hard you study, she tests you on irrelevant material from the textbook and midterms are worth 30%. The group projects are ridiculous amounts of work for 10% each and her instructions are super confusing. Avoid this course at ALL COSTS.

Don't do it. Every assignment is group, and there's one every week. Exams are extremely hard, and there is very little guidance about what to study or what the exams will be like. Assignment instructions are extremely vague and always changing. She marks unbelievably hard and when you ask for clarification of instructions, she's very vague.

LOL. This class is a joke. Tests are extremely hard, lots of people failed. Her essay questions are not even part of the assigned reading. Group projects, absolutely the worst. Several people got 4.5 and 5/10. Even if you read the text, get ready to remember every detail of some random chart. Thanks Crispy.

Dianne is a great prof! I definitely didn't find the content of the course to be super interesting, but it is easy to succeed in her class. Make sure you're not late to class, she hates that. She's a really nice person though, and it's not difficult to do well in her class as long as you complete the readings/take notes
