Comment:

I think the mix of comments really sums it up. She knows this stuff so well that it is incomprehensible to her that anyone wouldn't just "get it". The project was useless in teaching anything. Instead of teaching us how to use jmp she should have taught us the actual math behind it. You can't understand where the numbers come from.

Comment:

She's a good teacher. Those who posted negative reviews are just lazy and don't want to work. She gives a project that is due at the end of the semester, that may make the anti-socials quiver at the knees, but she's fine. It's statistics, stop crying.

Worst teacher I ever had. Completely unapproachable. Rude and uncaring about students. Would rather talk through email than in person.

Comment:

Her class is easy. Yes it does involve a bit more work, but its statistics, what do you expect. very fair grader, show up to class, and she'll be happy to answer any questions via email or in office hrs. She makes the material very clear and easy to understand. I would definitely take another class with her.

Comment:

aarrghh this class, this class... ok, prof is nice, but she goes waaay too fast to catch up or to avoid daydreaming. theres a project and some quizzes and exams. for the project choose something simple to make ur life easy. then she'll let u drop your lowest grade on one of ur exams and one of ur quizzes.

Comment:

Well if you want her to email you back i would suggest going to class... i missed at least one to two classes every two weeks... but still that doesn't give any reason for a professor to ignore emails. She's simply HORRIBLe doesn't cover material gives worksheets in class to be done on material she hasn't covered. just an absolutely wretched woman

Comment:

W****...that the word for her...I think that after several years teaching a professor should leave his/her duties in order to avoid loosing their way...Please, remember that students are not robots nor things to spoil because of your huge ego does tell you so...!

Comment:

Her problem is, first she tries to be everybody's friend and spoils everyone, than she realizes that she can't make everyone happy and gets a little angry. She should have start as a **** in the beginning and be friendly at the end of the semester than everybody would have loved her. Actually, she's really nice and helpful. Easy A...

She is somethin else, very crazy and yells at you if you are talking. expects all the students to figure out what is going on in the class. Still not a hard class to get a decent grade in

Comment:

STAY AWAY STAY FAR AWAY!!!!! unless you're good at teaching yourself in math and like having your questions remain unanswered take this class. Its almost like an online course, you teach yourself, you answer your own questions and she's just there...im not sure doing what though. I still dont know how i made it this far

Comment:

One CRAZY b****!! Easy class if you can try to follow along!! She's all over the place!! She's got like ADHD or something or like she powers up on the coffee!!! However the class is rather simple so whether or not you follow her you can teach yourself basically.

she was pretty helpful. She spoke too fast and it was hard for those who know nothing about stats to pick up. She was willing to help those who were in need though.

Comment:

Dr. Tappin is a very understanding professor. If you do the work and show some effort in her class, there shouldn't be any problems. She is willing to help you with any issues you have regarding the material. She posts anything missed in class on blackboard and reminds students of upcoming tests and quizzes.

Comment:

Knowledgable to a fault. Teaches the material extremely fast. Grading is based on how well you remembered her answers from previous assignments...right answers are marked wrong if not in her words. Extremely helpful during office hrs, will answer any & all questions...you just have to make the time to see her. Wasn't the best, but I've had worse!

Comment:

I dont know what people are complaining about,you must be really lazy not to do atleast decent in this class. I hate math and i got an A. All you need to do is go over whatever hw she gave you, and it's just reworded on the test. You just need to put some effort in and you'll be fine. Very nice lady

Comment:

This teacher is horrible, ignore any of the good comments made about her. she teaches way too fast, shakes the whole class like shes on drugs. Avoid her by all means. You will most likely do bad in the class, unless your a stats freak

Comment:

do not take this woman, completly insane, to much work. an oral and written report at end of class. not worth it. she marks things wrong if she thinks they are that way even if they are the right answers
