Love Prof Smith, she's amazing, one of the best ITM professor ever. Always willing to help during class and outside of class. She truly wants her students to learn. Her exams aren't hard, but her quizzes are. Overall, I would take her again, she's the best! super nice person and very patient.

Very intelligent professor. She is available for office hours and tries her best to help you out. Tests are straightforward and she isn't a tough grader. However, the iRATS and tRATS are confusing and difficult. Also, she dropped a final project one week before the end of the semester, so beware. Otherwise, I would recommend her.

This is one of those classes where you can do the best you want but if you make the smallest mistake you can fall down to a B- score. Lot's of team related activities. You will have to use the text book a lot. She is very smart and typically the class isn't at that level. I have no clue how I ended with a decent grade, I thought I was doing poorly.

This class has nothing to do with ITM, she makes everything hard. Poorly explain the material and the tests are really hard. The grading system is weird including RAT and IRAT. If you read the whole text book and know everything in it, you would barely get 70% in the tests. DON'T Take THIS CLASS WITH HER.

Hardest class Ive ever taken in my life. Ill probably get a B+, which is OK for grad school. Expect to teach yourself. She is a nice lady but shes too smart for her own good and expects everyone to understand the material.

The class was very difficult - the only reason I did well was because i remembered a lot of the material from my undergrad engineering courses. I couldn't fathom taking this class without a background in engineering/mathematics. The professor was only moderately helpful in explaining the coursework.

Comment:
I have never felt more dumb then when I was in this class. She is a brilliant woman, but unable to explain things in a way the students understand for this introductory course in Statistics. She goes through material extremely fast and isn't really willing to stop to explain things if asked. However, during project time, she will look at it andhelp

Very nice person and really helpful during the office hours and not so tough with grading if you work hard. Although, she does run through 40 slides per minute, so make sure you read the material before class and get ready for a marathon once it starts and utilize her Office Hours if feel lost!

More than a handful of people in the class agree that she's the devil. Scary with the staring, eye-rolling, and often laughs at the students' answers (or randomly).

Total babe, but sorta uptight. Needs to lose the eye-rolling, we're not all Quantum Physics majors. No need to blast through 40 slides in 3 minutes, class is not a marathon.
