This women has a heart of GOLD. She will meet with any student to go over course material and take time to explain it. Stats was hard but her lectures were interesting and she was VERRRRRY NICE, would recommend her to anyone taking stats

Comment:

if you go to class and tutorial you will do fine. It is also very helpful to do the assignments because it will really raise your mark considerably and give you good practice for the tests. Tests are not out of a lot but they are also not difficult. No need to read the book, follow the notes you take in class and you will do amazing!

Comment:

dr goodman is the best prof you can take stats with. she makes everything perfectly comprehensible and helps all students, including those who come in hating stats. she is very clear in her lectures, you might not even have to read the text (although it is recommended)... have not heard one complaint from the ppl i took the class with. take her!

Dumbs everything down making course pretty easy. But she is rude and degrading if you do ask questions or go see her about marks.

I thought stats was going to be hard but if you go to class and do your tutorial questions your set for the course. She`s really informative, and the T.A. is great too.

Comment:

She's a nice person, but is too vague for stats. Doesn't make the material very interesting. She's also VERY picky on the student doing questions her way (instead of following the textbook). I wouldn't recommend taking stats with her.

Comment:

Prof. Goodman has a very colloquial style of teaching which can be enjoyable. But, if you're a fairly methodical person this can be a bit of a challenge. I found her to be somewhat condescending when questions were asked. It was as if she was trying to show you she thought it was a good point, but she really thought it was inconsequential/silly.

Dr. Goodman is really awesome. Even though i just managed a D in the class , she never said no to anything. She is very helpful but only if you help yourself. She makes every effort to help u and make you feel comfortable in the class. This class is early in the morning but she is one of the best stats proff rated by University and by the advisors

Comment:

She is an amazing Prof. The people who complain didn't put the amount of work into this course that was required plain and simple. Sure 830 am is brutal to do stats. But Doba makes it managable even if you are not strong in math. She really wants you to do well. She cares about her students. Stats was my fav. course in second year!

Comment:

This course was very hard because the prof had her own way to do stats. It was rediculously hard the final exam had 2o questions where you had to figure out which form of statistic you have to use. It was insane not worth it. Honestly, take it with someone else. Not recommended. She needs to retire asap.

I've taken half the year with her so far.. but so far, I am getting an A+.it is really easy,you dont have to read the textbook.She teaches ALL the textbook material in her lectures and her TA does questions on tutorial days. I basically attend lectures and I'm set to do ALL the questions@ end of the chapter, referring back to book when neccesary

prof goodman is probably the best stats prof you can get honestly...the only problem is her class is at 8:30 all the time man if you can perform sharply at 8:30 its good to scoop this class but my brain was making simple mistakes on these 8:30 exams..she nice but she goes hard on exams so if you don't know your stuff you will get bodied. straight u

Dr. Goodman is an awesome prof! She wants her students to do well. The assignments are pretty easy and you have a week to work on them. The tests were fine if you read the textbook, went through her notes and did a lot of practice questions.

Professor Goodman is a great professor - very organized, very approachable and she tries her best to make the class easy and fun (which is pretty hard, seeing its stats). Assignments were so easy, tests were easy but you have to know the material. My TA (Manolo) was awesome! If you need to do stats, have it with doba :)

Best Class ever! I got an A+! assignments are tests are a breeze if you go to class and read the text. She is very organized and the marking is done by both her and the T.A (i had gwen and she was absolutely amazing..the tutorials DO help, so i reccommend going especially if an assignment is due soon)overall, great class, but not a good morning one

Doba is a phenomenal professor. She truly cares about her students and goes out of her way to help. Her teaching style, especially with stats, is extremely clear and her assignments are reasonable if you put in the effort. I have had her for both Stats and 4170 Thesis and would HIGHLY recommend her for either course.
