Comment:

She's great - I was terrified going into STATS because math is not my forte. However, her lectures are super digestible and she puts in a lot of effort to make sure you understand the material. There are weekly assignments and 2 larger assignments, and participation counts for marks. Midterms were pretty fair, but the final was tricky.

Comment:

out of all the professors I've ever had at UBC between Arts, CPSC, Math and STATS courses, Eugenia puts the most effort into teaching hands down! She makes her slides incredibly explicit and clear. She really wants to make sure her students know the material. You can honestly forego the book if you attend classes.

Had her in the summer. She had pretty concise notes, so buying the textbook isn't a must. Just go to class for important details/how to solve problems, but if you zone out, it's not the end of the world (personal experience). Great prof, would take another stats course with her again.

I had her for Stats in the summer and she's been extremely nice and clear about what you need to know for a test. The in-class worksheets were helpful for applying lecture content and are not too hard. She doesn't post annotated slides, so definitely take notes in class. If confused at all, she'll happily answer your questions.

Why all the good reviews? She does not post (most) inked notes and all iClicker Q&A, has v. minimal office hours, and gives relatively little Piazza help. Test policy: miss the midterms for legit health/etc. reasons, but still have no makeups (all the weight would transfer to the final); I for one would never be able to perform under such pressure.

Comment:

This prof had the audacity to not post inked notes so thats why im sitting here during class not paying attention but giving her this rate. If a student misses class or wants to review at home they do not have the option to look through inked notes, which she does a lot of.

Very good lectures and you could tell that she genuinely cared that everyone understood the material. She would always pause the lectures and make sure that everyone was on board before moving on. If you ever had a question she would worlk with you until she was sure you understood.

I'm not very good at math, but I did really well in this class. Eugenia is probably the best teacher one could have for a stats class. She is very clear, caring, and gets that this stuff is hard. Honestly, if you have to take stats, there's a high probability that she'll be able to get you through with a decent grade :)

She gives amazing lectures! If you are preparing for SOA exam, she is the best choice! Her lectures make connections with actuarial exams. As long as you do all the suggested exercises, you will be fine!

Eugenia is an awesome professor. Her lectures are clear and concise. She explains the toughest topics in an easy-understanding matter. If you stuck, just come to professor hours and ask the right q's (but make sure that you tried to solve the problems first). She's caring and helping. Wish UBS has re profs like her.

Comment:

Eugenia does NOT post annotated slides, so the best way to study is to print out the blank slides before each lecture and take notes during class. DON'T skip class. Beware - exams are worth 75% total although there is only the final (50%) and one midterm (25%), so do well on them!

She's an amazing professor. Explains everything carefully in detail and clears up any misconception. Like others have said, you do not need the textbook, her lectures notes are great! Just make sure you attend the lectures and take notes and you will be set.

Explains things very well. Really helps students understand statistical concepts. You may find the material boring but she tries to make it interesting! Her lecture notes are amazing. So much that you don't need the textbook at all.

She's the best honestly, I can vouch for her teaching any day. She genuinely cares about your learning and she makes everything so accessible and easy to understand. I didn't have one bad thing to say about her. She is hands down the best.

One of the best profs at UBC. You would not need the textbook, well organised way to teach the subject which makes the learning all the more easier. Her lectures/slides/examples are all easily understood. Her exams would not be anything out of the ordinary and thus very fair in nature.

One of my favourite profs at UBC. Came out of 1st year hating math so I dreaded this class, but she made stats fun. Excellent, easy to understand lectures, and very helpful during office hours. Like any other math course, just don't skip a single class or you'll be lost. Didn't use the textbook at all. Thought the final was easier than the midterm.

Her lectures are amazing but you must attend them since the things she mentions in class are very important. The TAs and her are there for you when you need help. The course itself is pretty difficult if you do not pay attention to the minor details but she makes it easier by doing a large amount of sample problems in class.
