This was the absolute hardest class Ive ever taken. The teacher was good but she didnt go in depth on questions the students would ask her. The only way I passed my homework is the help me solve button, I wouldnt take this class! If so, take another instructor.

I loved taking her class. I am a math-oriented person, but I also did take this class as a high school senior. I highly recommend her for statistics because she will help you with anything if you arrange to meet her, and she doesn't move too terribly fast through the criteria.

This class was very easy if you have a solid mathematical background. Even so, Tests and homework are fairly straight forward. Easy A

Comment:
She is the worst teacher I have ever had. The work between her quizzes, tests, and homework don't match up at all. Everytime I took a quiz it was just about the hardest problems she could find. She's also extremely dry and boring, the notes she gives you are unclear and aren't visually appealing. Be prepared to teach yourself.

Most stressful class I have ever taken. The class work is nothing like the online homework, you're basically teaching yourself how to do everything. If you want more stress to your life take this class, if not find another professor.

Her classes are all lectures and she is very boring. Get ready to teach yourself everything. I had her for STATS and I had to teach myself everything I learned because she was NOT clear on what we needed to learn or what she expected.

She does offer help if you schedule it with her office hours but the lectures are long and boring. You learn nothing and everything you do learn is self taught. She is very dry and overall not a good teacher. The criteria is not clear at all. Book not needed.

You will not find an easier or better Stats teacher. She makes math about as simple as it could possibly get.

Ms. Fields was an exceptional teacher. Very clear and easy to ask questions too. She loves her job and it truly shows. Stats was amazing.

I took this class at 8am. Bad idea. I don't mean to be mean but she has that kind of voice that can put you to sleep. Double up on the coffee! The notes she gives you are nice to follow fill out as you go through it but they can be hard to follow sometimes. I have more of a calctrig mind so this was harder for me to grasp! Bring your calculator!

Comment:
Usually I hate math teachers due to how they can't answer the simple question of, "Why do we need to know this?" or "When will we use this?" Fields has at least 10 reasons on the tip of her tongue as to when the math she teaches will be used. I can't learn unless I know the point in learning so I'm glad I got a teacher who can explain it to me.

Mrs. Fields is an extraordinary teacher. If you have issues with the work she is happy to help you understand the material. She made my first semester a lot less stressful than I thought it would be.

She is extremely hard. Between the homework, classwork, and tests; nothing is asked the same way and its so confusing. I recommend finding another teacher!!! She does give you 10 points if you miss less then four days of class.

Comment:
I never liked math so I thought this class was boring. However, her class wasn't too bad it consisted of 4 test, but she drops the lowest test grade. There is alot of online homework, but do it and you'll be fine, just dont wait till the test to do it. She also allows you to take in half a sheet of notes to the test and has practice tests.

Great teacher. Teaches in a way that you understand why methods are the way they are and how formulas are come up with, making them easy to remember and understand instead of just straight memorization. Mostly online homework, all due the day of tests with unlimited attempts. Tests aren't bad.

This is an extremely hard class, but she does a great job helping you get through it. The tests are short, and straight to the point. Homework takes a while so don't wait. Be prepared to work and you will be fine. She is great at helping.

This class was just okay. I'm not all that into math so I didn't mind. You don't need to purchase the text book because you can get by without it. The only down part of this class, for me, was there isn't enough practice. You need to study a lot because she moves fast. Also, make sure you do the homework when it is still fresh in mind!

very boring class, all about the calculator and not about getting the class involved, I am typically good at stats and am doing poorly in this class because it's so dry. she did cut me a break when I was sick though, so don't be afraid to ask.

She isn't very helpful at all. The class wouldn't have been difficult if she taught in a manner that was more engaging and interesting.
