Comment:

Stats is not an easy class and she tries to give as many real life examples as possible to make it easy. There's a quiz every week 1 page back and front notes, homework is done online, and 3 exams plus final. Exams you can use back and front of a paper and on the final 2 pages back and front of both. She really wants her students to pass.

Professor R is a great math teacher I've had at De AnZa. She explains well by step-by-step. It's quite easy to follow it. However, be aware of pop quiz and exams. IF you do the homework on time, you will be fine on the exams. Anyway, Best of Luck......

Comment:

Don't get me wrong, I find Professor Bloom to be extremely knowledgeable and competent when it comes down to the subject! However, when gets to learning the material and getting help in the class, it seems almost impossible to get antique help support from the teacher. Furthermore, she's a tough grader and there is little to no margin for err...

Professor Bloom is a good teacher. She is very organized and her notes are very clear. She explains concepts in a detail and clear way. Lots of homework but worth doing it because it gives you practices on different problems.

I really enjoyed her class as a business student. I learned a lot in term of business math. However, test heavy for this class. EXTRA credit provided, LAB works. If u want to learn some useful math, I suggest taking her class but getting ready to work hard. this is not a easy class to pass. GOOD LUCK.

She is good by nature. She always ready to help to meet her office hours. Her class 3 test and 1 final lowest score test can be dropped, also have 5 to 6 quizzes that are not hard, it's related to homework. She gives direct questions in tests but too long. I got D in this class. The final would be hard and too long than tests. If you have good sp

This is Calculus, so you are going to need to put in the effort if you want to pass. Professor Bloom has the best interest of her student's. If the class is struggling, she will take the time to go over the material again. She posts all notes online. Quizzes and Exams are straight forward, be sure to do the homework. The final is cumulative!!

Comment:

Heavy workload for a working student. Makes work more complex than it has to be. No time to entirely digest the material, you have HW due for the next chapter on top of your exam. Never enough time for her exams, 75% of students were still there after class was over. Lectures is a sprint so you wont retain much. Learned more online.

Her homework is harder than her tests. Homework usually takes 1 hour but she gives a lot of time to finish. The book is not used AT ALL. Test material comes from the hw itself. SUPER HELPFUL lecture worksheets are given!! She drops few of the lowest grades. Her group project is an easy A. Her test problems are simple and she allows cheat sheets!

Comment:

Roberts is an great teacher. She's very organized and thorough. You really have to work for your grade in her class. She doesn't curve or give out extra credit. She's got high expectations which I respect. Her lectures can be very fast, but what really helps is doing the hw and asking questions. She's also very helpful during office hours.

Comment:

I wouldn't say she's the top choice to take Stats, but she kinda is. HW is online, quizzes comes from HW, and she prints out the notes! And like other Stats classes the book is online. And that whole what you score on the final will replace the score of your lowest exam thing. She's comes off as nice and rude every now and than but good teacher.

Comment:

Math has never really been my strength, but I really thrived under her teaching. She is extremely organized. Everything you do in a quarter is laid out, she uses guided notes, and the tests/quizzes are representative of the material in the homework. Plus, she allows 1pg of handwritten notes for all tests/quizzes. Highly recommend.

I am not good in math, but she has printed out notes for every chapter and she teaches better than any stat teacher I have had. Grades a little tough, but she makes it easy to understand. Need calc, barely use the book. homework online for every chapter, many quizzes.

I didn't do well in her class for personal reasons, but she's honestly a pretty good teacher. VERY ORGANIZED. Everything was online and she held a lot of office hours. I completely recommend her bc she takes everything step by step. Tests were very long so practice a lot! She can be sassy often but don't take it the wrong way. Take her!

I have always excelled at math and don't like giving bad reviews, but this teacher is an exception. I attended every class and focused on her lessons,but they were confusing and whenever I asked for clarification she gave me sass, that is just bad teaching. Her tests were timed,which adds stress, and were not representative of the material. BEWARE

Comment:

She comes out as being jolly as she explains an example and also comes out as being cranky when students frequently asks for HW extensions or low exam scores. So don't slack off. Stats is a class you need to devout 10 study hrs a week. She gives you the notes, gives links to exams to study and review over, textbook was free online, barely used it.

*Coming from an A student in Math* Worst math class I have ever taken. Lectures are boring, ask a question and she looks at you with confusion/frustration. Quizzes/tests are ridiculously hard and long for the short time we had to do them. Half the class either dropped or withdrew. No review for material on tests. Care about your grade? DO NOT TAKE

Ive never had a math teacher that provided the chapter notes to print out and go over them in class. The Webassign homework was helpful especially when it came to the quizzes and exams. Yeah like that other rating says, she doesnt show special treatment, she's not strict but she may say something like "this class's exam scores were the worst"
