Dr. Duncan is one of the best professors Ive had at Bloomsburg. She is very smart & knows her stuff, but she is good at explaining at a beginners level! I dreaded a stats class, but she made it enjoyable! Also an A is an 88 which was amazing!

She is very dedicated to helping her students understand the material and become successful in statistics. Always has office hours and will make you stay until you feel comfortable with the material. Exams were easy. She gives you a sheet full of the formulas you will need to remember for the test. Sets you up for success.

Dr. Duncan is so brilliant and it shows when she teaches. If you do not have any statistical background do not worry, she explains everything very clearly and will help whenever possible. You do need the textbook. She does not assign graded homework but there are some problems that are beneficial to do and will help with your exams.

She was a nice professor and really made sure all her students understood what she was teaching until she moved on. Exams weren't too bad, but your final grade is based on only exams.

Dr. Duncan is fabulous. Her class wasn't hard, but challenging. She constantly says to see her or find a buddy in class if you are having any trouble. She is very understanding and will keep explaining something to you until you get it.

Dr Duncan is an amazing professor. You have to know the information but she is very fair. Subject matter is difficult, but she always waits til everyone understands the material to move on. She is cheerful and personable. She has been my favorite professor of my college career.

Dr. Duncan has been my favorite prof. so far! I was nervous to take this class at first but it ended up being really interesting and fun with her. The tests are pretty straight forward and as long as you go to class you should do fine! She also holds a review session twice a week, very helpful.

Best professor at Bloom! I've had her twice already and wish I could take her for every class until graduation. She has the best personality which makes her classes worthwhile. She is more than willing to go the extra mile for you to help you understand- as long as you're willing to put the effort in as well! You will get the grade you deserve!

Dr. Duncan is a great professor! She tells you a lot of information and it seems like you won'tbe able to retain it. But take lots of notes and ask questions! She is very willing to clarify anything and help you out. *Talks about her children quite a bit, yet only to explain the idea she is trying to express! Overall, a professor who cares to help!

I love, love, love Dr. Duncan! I was not at all excited to take stats but she makes it worth while. She is a great teacher and truely cares about her students. She is very intelligent but explains things at a basic level. If you need help go to her office hours, she won't let you fail if she knows you're trying. Very fair grader and very helpful!

Excellent teacher! She really wanted you to understand children, and was always willing to go out of the way to help. If you got something wrong on the test but could explain why you chose it and understand the material, she gave you the credit.

If you really want to learn, you will gain knowledge from Dr. Duncan.If child psychology is of any interest to you, take her class! She teaches development in terms that are more understandable than any other professor I've ever had in Psych.

I took dev. psych in the summer and it was difficult because there is a LOT of info to get through, but Dr. Duncan was really helpful and made sure everyone in the class did the best they could. And she's still helping me with my major after the class. She's an awesome person and a great teacher. I would definately reccomend taking her!
