She always emailed me back within a few hours. She's great at responding to your questions. I admit I had to work had in this course but she has so many ways of helping you. Her course on blackboard had more content than any other professor at nwfsc. I graduated with my AA ! yea!

Comment:
Prehomework was the best for having time to review for the lecture. I found it very useful. Papers are turned back by the next class period on most occasions. I thought she was a great teacher. She called our quizzes learning opportunities which I though was cool and let us work in groups on quizzes and tests.

Comment:
She gives pre-homework on topics that students would not know prior to the lecture. She says that we won't use the textbook at all, but the only way to pass the pre-quizzes is if you use the textbook. She rarely gives papers back so you have no clue why you got the grade you did. Overall, terrible teacher. And her voice is awful and annoying.

Really nice teacher. Very motivational. Home work is Brutal, 3 modules a week to include tests and quizzes that are 20-25 questions a piece on the program My math lab, so its gonna be annoying. Don't forget to check the board for challenge questions, and discussions. 10 points each.

She is a really, really awful teacher. If you're prepared to learn the majority of the material on your own, feel free to take her class. She is a really nice person, just not a competent math teacher. Most kids in my class ended up in the math lab ALL THE TIME. The entire math department at NWFSC is among the worst I've seen. Take math at PSC.

Alright. It's easy to say that Mrs. McGinnis was and is the worst math professor I have ever had. Her lessons were unclear, and she would often ramble and make multiple mistakes during teaching. She also would grade inconsistently. I got a B in the class, but I managed A's in pre calc, trig, and calc. This means something is amiss. Don't take her.

Even though I had to work hard in this class, I think it was a great class. McGinnis used data that was interesting to me and not just book stuff. Gives tons of handouts and examples to help you learn.

Dr. Mcginnis has given us data that is relevant and interesting. We did a data analysis of dolphins in the bay. Since I'm a biology major, I found working with a data set directly related to my field of study most interesting. Statistics isn't an easy course but I appreciated Dr. Mcginnis's approach to teaching

Mrs. McGinnis answers emails almost immediately. Her D2L is the most detailed of any instructor I've taken at NWFSC. Learning math distance learning take work but she is always there to answer questions and help you through it.

This was the best math class. I was dreading coming back to school and taking a math class that I needed for graduation but the instructor made the course enjoyable.

She is not a teacher I would take again. I am a math major, and I took her statistics as an elective. This class has been the worst I have ever taken. Most of the material she covered as review did not show up on the tests. I made an A in this class, but I had been frustrated throughout the course. Got an A in calc 2 much easier than in this class

I very much enjoyed Professor McGinnis' statistics class. I learned a lot. There were a few winners in class you just didn't have common sense because that's all statistics is. Common sense and learning to use your calculator.
