Great professor. Stats might seem a bit difficult, but she makes it so clear and easy to understand! HW due every 3 weeks, 6 Quizzes (one take home), 3 exams and a final, and a group project. There is not a better stats professor out there. A few of the concepts were difficult but she made it easier. I wouldn't say its an easy A, BUT VERY DOABLE!!

Great Professor. She makes everything clear from exactly whats going to be on the exams, to how the quizzes are set up. The group project is there to boost your grade and she genuinely made math interesting. There are 6 quizzes with the lowest one dropped. If you're struggling definitely go to the tutoring center for extra help. Best math class.

She is by far one of the BEST PROFESSORS Ive taken at any community college. Makes an difficult subject easier to understand. Notes are clear and understandable. Clear grading, 3 exams, and final. Quiz every three chapters. Lots of hwk, but very doable. Very caring and understanding. If you put in the effort, you will pass. But she is AMAZING

This class really isn't that bad. Easy to understand. Just don't do the homework last minute. Group project, 3 exams, iclicker, 6 quizzes (one is take home), 6 hw assignments, and online hw for each chapter. It's really doable as long as you print out notes and stay on top of the homework.

This has to be one of the easiest classes I've taken. Print out her notes, do the notes, do the hw, and you will for sure get a good grade.

She makes Statistics interesting and easy to understand. She explains the concepts very clearly in her lectures, so go to class and pay attention to her lectures. However, the homework is really long and time-consuming, so don't do it last minute. Overall, she's a great professor and would definitely take her again!

Professor Nauta is a fantastic teacher and I would take her class again. She's funny and her lectures are interesting. Homework is due every 3 chapters, online and written. Some of the concepts are difficult but the notes are thorough and you can ask questions.

Finished with a 95.7% in the class. It's a math class, so it's not exactly easy but you can very much get an A if you put in the effort. Homework is easy and collected in packets; there is also online homework which is very helpful for studying. Dale is very funny and a great professor. The 2nd and 3rd exams are the hardest, lowest quiz is dropped.

She is honestly one of the best math professors. She really tries to help you and makes sure she answers every single question. Luckily there aren't many questions because she does very well explaining everything. Grades very quickly. Spread out her homework because it can pile up. If you want to pass you have to try though. Great professor!!

I took her Stats hybrid class on friday and passed it with a 98%! Do all LearnSmart homework. There are 3 exams. I got 100% on the first one! Prepare for them by looking at her "Exam Study Guide Review" and make sure u know the concepts. Then look at her lecture written notes PDF. Group project is easy, just make sure u group with the right people.

Such an awesome Professor. I took the Hybrid class, lots of homework online but it's definitely manageable if you're self-disciplined. We meet once a week for two hours and she goes over the chapters thoroughly until she makes sure you understand them. Her tests are VERY reasonable. Work hard and you'll get an A or B. I'm definitely gonna miss her!

Comment:

Likely the best math prof at OCC. Lecture heavy, but still engaging. There's quite a bit of homework and it's quite tedious, but I made it through. I really appreciate the real life examples she gives. She'll also surprise you once in a while. I won't spoil, but get ready to laugh. 3 exams, 1 final.

I used to hate math, but she is absolutely amazing! I have never had such a clear understanding of math and how this will apply to the real world. I took the hybrid class which I loved since I work full time and we met once a week for 2 hours. She is so caring for her students and wants you to do well. Take her! You won't regret it! :)

Professor Nauta is the best math teacher at Orange Coast College. I had her my first semester in college for math 30. Even though her classes are lectures, she is very good at engaging with the class and making it fun. I then took her for math 160 after taking her the first time because I loved her! Math is not my strongest subject but she helped!

One of the best professors I've had at OCC! She is so passionate about math and her students. She's always willing to answer any questions students may have. I'm not a good student when it comes to math but I managed to get a B in her class. She lets you use a cheat sheet for tests! WRITE ALL FORMULAS DOWN! Quizzes and homework are easy!

Comment:

Homework is required (its tedious and it's a lot of it), online homework and online quizzes are also required (tedious and takes a lot of time), class participation through clickers (grade booster) is expected, along with a group project (grade booster), quizzes, and exams (expect a lot of quizzes and exams). You'll do well if you're disciplined.

Exceptional instructor who genuinely cares about the success of students. In order to pass her class with a good grade, e.i., an A or B, you will need to finish homework assignments(time consuming), finish additional online homework(time consuming), group project, class participation is important(grade boost), try your best on quizzes and exams.
