Comment:

I would highly recommend this prof! You're guaranteed to get an A+ if you put in the effort. Most of your grade is based on her 4 exams she gives you and they're all multiple choice. The exams are super easy if you read all the material. However if you don't read the textbook, you will not pass with a good mark and there is no final.

Comment:

The only problem I had was doing the research exercise. I received the lowest grade in the course on that. Everything else consists of multiple choice exams which were straightforward and not misleading. There are labs we did for bonus marks which was really good for boosting your final grade. Attend her classes to be able to catch up.

Comment:

She's been on hiatus for a year so if you aim to get an A, watch out for the 10% assignment, she marks quite hard on that. Otherwise, do all the extra credit as it will pay off in the end and the first three exams 75%. Overall, it's not too bad.

Comment:

Take her for stats for sure! She let's you bring in a cheat sheet instead of having to memorize your formulas like the other profs. She's kind of condescendin, like most profs who know what they're talking about and she gets annoyed when you don't understand basic math. First 2 tests were hard for me, but I aced the last 2 and got a B in her class.

Such a great prof! Three tests and no final and one easy and short assignment. She let's you bring a card to every test and her notes in class pretty much make up the test so it's important to show up. Also assigns mindtap assignments for every chapter but they're easy and help you get a better understanding of the chapters.

Comment:

Her tests are extremely hard but she's nice.. at first. Her class was fun, the activities she made us do were interesting but overall, everyone flunked her class. Some of the multiple choice were questions we didn't review. I had an excusable note and needed time to heal from my procedure but she wasn't understanding. I even changed my major too.

One of the best professors I've had. I took Sara in 1100 as well. She makes statistics so easy! I'm usually bad at math but I got an A+ in her class. There is three tests and one final.

Comment:

Sarah has a great reputation but in her stats class she doesn't simplify much she just expects you to know everything. She let's you bring an answer card to the tests which is the only way you'll pass, first tests are hard but the final tests are what will boost your mark. She offers 2% bonus. She's intimating to talk to but she's helpful enough.

She is the sweetest teacher ever !! Take it from someone who isnt a big fan of math and had to repeat stats ... she explains the material well and it is fairly easy. I recommend taking her!! She is more than willing to help and answers any questions you have. She does take out quite a bit of material from the book so tests are even easier.

Sarah is a great prof. She clearly explains everything and the test are easy if you understand the material. She's always willing to help and ensures that everything understands instead of just jumping into the next chapter. Would definitely recommend her!!

Sarah is super nice, i would most definitely take her class again. The lectures and tests are all straight to the point. Go to class, it will help! (Though no attendence is taken) The assignments are easy but write a lot and be detailed or you will get a low mark. Take her class! Its not hard, just read the material well!

Sarah has a good sense of humour and is usually always available to help you with anything after class if needed. She does not take attendance, but do not show up at your own risk her lectures are usually pretty interesting for the most part. Reading the textbook and knowing the vocab words from each chapter should get you a high grade on her tests

Comment:

Murray was alright. Her lectures are easy to understand, her notes are brief. Though you will still need to read the textbook if you want to pass the tests with good grades. One thing though: her short answer questions are not short at all. You must write as much as you can or else she won't give it high marks.

Her tests aren't too bad, however she assigns two assignment for the term and marks super hard on grammar... this is psych class not english! Class is not mandatory to attend, but you have to read the textbook because the notes she writes are pretty useless.
