Comment:

Show up, take notes, and leave. The only grades are three tests including the final exam, but the majority of each test is open note. She was consistently 10-15 minutes late to every single class which also irked me a bit and she went off topic a bit. Apart from that, she's very quirky, has a good personality and does know the material very well.

Her patience, dedication, and ability to guide a class is so appreciated. She's a great professor and honestly we need more professors like her, because she made class interesting and making a class laugh/smile is a huge thing that now a days not many professors can do.

Huntsman wants her students to succeed. Take VERY good notes. She talks fast but if you write everything down you will have everything you need to do well on quizzes and exams. Exams based on lecture, quizzes based on reading. If you read each week and study notes for tests, easy A. The final questions are given the first day of class, easy to pass

I have learned a lot from this class! The weekly quizzes were really helpful in making sure that I kept up with the material in class. After taking this class, I am now interested in the field of cognition. Professor Huntsman is very approachable and always willing to help out if you have any questions on what she went over in lecture. She's funny!

Comment:

She is such a nice professor, but sadly her lectures just make no sense. Her lectures are all over the place and will have you completely confused. There are 10 quizzes, 3 exams, and a final. Tests and quizzes are not difficult, but some questions are difficult to understand. She does not use slides but instead uses the super old school projector.

If you are not good at math TAKE THIS CLASS! All tests (including the final) are open note and workbook. The tests are identical to the lectures and workbook problems. Attendance is mandatory an you have to take notes. I have never been good at math and this was honestly the first math class I didn't struggle in. Take her. She's amazing.

Only graded on your exams and an assignment called SPSS. Seemed unwilling to help out when it was needed but class is pretty easy to pass. The exams are semi easy depending on how much you understand stats.

I took Professor Huntsman's Stat 95 class over the summer, and she is by far the BEST math professor I've ever had. She made all the information really easy to understand and comprehend. The class moved quickly because it was a 5 week course, but Prof Huntsman would always answer any questions I had about the material. 10/10 would def recommend!

I took her class over summer, it was basically an entire semester broken down into 10 classes that were 3 and half hours each. All you have to do is show up to the class take all the notes and ask questions. The tests are super easy because you can use all your notes. Theres only 3 tests, 100pts each and thats all you're graded on.

Huntsman is super nice and funny. Go to lecture and copy what she writes on the board and to the homework. Make sure you score high in SPSS and on the first exam (easiest). If you try a bit more an A- is possible. Don't get lazy like I did!

One of the best professor I've ever had. I do not do well with math, but professor Huntsman breaks down the problems perfectly and gives very detailed notes! She made me understand stats so much better! We need more professors like her, she genuinely cares about her students and is really understandable! She's also really clear with her lectures.

Professor Hunstman is AWESOME. The way she teaches is very easy to understand and she explains everything step by step. Her tests are open note so just as long as you take good notes and really pay attention, then this class will be super easy. 3 tests throughout the semester that are very similar to the homework assignments just different numbers

SO AMAZING! Half of the tests open notes! She is willing to help those who need it. Such an amazing and beautiful human. You only need to buy her book. YOU MUST BUY IT. Her tests are exactly like her book except with different numbers. She's upfront, and she really wants everyone to pass. Point based class and 3 tests. No extra credit.

Comment:

If you struggle in Stats (like me), TAKE HER. She is easy to understand, tests are OPEN NOTES, and she is super approachable, nice, and really cares!!! I cannot stress how much she has helped me. I HATE math and I always struggle with math, but I got an A- in the class! If I can do it, you can too! She is one of my favorite teachers in SJSU.

Comment:

TAKE HER CLASS! I've always hated math and I was definitely intimidated when I signed up for stats. However, I passed with an A-. This was the one class I WILLINGLY chose not to skip class. To pass the class you must take notes from lecture. Her tests are open notes. If you copy exactly whats on the board, you will pass her class.

I've taken both PSYC100W and 135 with Dr. Huntsman. She is an excellent and knowledgeable professor who is always willing to help students. psych 135 had 3 mc exams and 1 essay cumulative final. If you put in the effort, attend every class (she doesn't post pps), and take detailed notes-- A

She's extremely charismatic! She's also very approachable and wants you to succeed. As long as you go to class and copy down all the notes, you'll pass for sure. There's 3 exams, 1 project, & no mandatory hw. Tests are open notes for the math part and T/F for the concept part. The project is easy and she allows redos if you don't get 100%.

I've never gotten above a C in any math class in my life. I'm terrible at algebra, and thought I'd never see the day where I'd understand numbers. Huntsman really changed my experience with math. You HAVE to go to class and you HAVE to do the homework. However, class is extremely rewarding. I would highly recommend this class.

Tests were open note and open calculator! If you go to class and take neat and organized notes, you will pass! She is very helpful and makes the assignments clear, she really wants you to pass this class too. For the SPSS assignment (which she gives either full or no credit) she allows redos until you get it right!

TAKE LAREE!! She doesn't just give you a stats problem during lecture, she paints an entire scenario for you and is so lively through it all! Go to class for your notes, they will SAVE YOU. There is nothing surprising on tests, she wants you to pass! Do the homework before class or you will easily fall behind because the material builds on itself.
