Comment:
Taking Fireman's STAT200 this semester, and I'm pretty sure I would like to take her classes again. She is organized in explaining stuffs, and provides detailed study guides for each exam. It should be a fun class even if you didn't have fun with math in the previous, and it prepares me well for stat400/410.

Online lectures are very clear and easy to follow. Class itself covers a lot of material and can be a little difficult but she prepares you for the exams really well and provides lots of resources for studying. Require work to do well but I learned a lot in this class.

Fireman is very nice but sometimes confusing in the way she explains things. The material isn't too hard though and you can figure out what's going on by following her examples in the textbook. All lecture videos are posted online so attendance is not mandatory but you can get extra credit with clicker questions.

Hated this class as an online class. You just watch lecture videos that were actually done by Karle Flanagan (who is great). Homework is extensive and tests aren't that hard, but just overall boring and I forgot I was in it most of the time.

This class was easy as long as the lectures were watched and the homework was done. If you do what's required it's an easy A.

Fireman is really helpful & she uses interesting examples. Still like in any math class the temptation to fall asleep is real. A lot of people say it is easy A, but I guess that's true if you're naturally great at math. I had to work for it but it wasn't impossible. You can guarantee like a 2% overall grade raise if you do all the bonus work.

I think she is a fairly good lecturer. Sometimes, it gets really boring and tiring going to class, she is really funny and makes Statistics interesting. It is worth taking the course. I recommend it. You can just watch videos at home if you just want to take a nap.

Comment:
Professor Fireman is a little weird and funny at times, but her ability as a lecturer fell short of my expectations. She's very friendly and offers plenty of extra credit, but she's not very well-spoken, often struggling to explain and losing her train of thought. I had previously heard good things about her, but her STAT 200 lectures were a bore.

The class is easy; I managed to get an A without much effort. That being said, Fireman is an absolutely dreadful lecturer and her speaking style often contains a great many words and little content. She tends to dawdle on examples and I often fall asleep during the class. However shes a funny lady and very relatable. Gives lots of bonus credit.

Very helpful, clearest math educator I've ever met. Very passionate about teaching. Wrote the textbook herself. You will learn concepts, not just formulas. Go to office hours! You will get an A if you go there, they will explain everything. Videos of the course are offered online so you can miss classes and not fall far behind.

The class is interesting and fireman creates most of the material herself. She teaches in a way that gets my attention and I wish most teachers taught like her. She understands that different students learn differently and that we do not like those boring text books that take forever to get the point across.

If you have to take stats at U of I make sure that you have Fireman. The easiest class. You don't even have to go to class. TONS of extra credit. She posts lecture notes and videos on her website. Tests are super easy and just like the study guides
