Comment:

Prof Howard is amazing, lots of homework but she gives extra credit, everyone passed her class with an A. Gives pop quizzes when students are absent :/ but you should def take her. I don't like math and got an A+ taking her class, she's accesible outside of class as well, as long as you do the hw you should be fine (she reopens before the final)

Partial credit given for all work shown on exam. Previous tests are posted on website, STUDY THEM. Cons: HW is different from explanation. Pop quizzes are done when students are absent.

Comment:

Professor Howard is one of the best Professors I have come by here at Valencia. I actually like Math but I have never taken any statistics class prior to STA 2023, so for someone who didn't know anyone previously she has made this class so easy and fun. She is the best at explaining and is very open if you need help outside of class. She's amazing!

Comment:

Prof. Howard is super nice and everything, but isn't that good at explaining things. I'm already good at Trig, so this class wasn't hard for me, but if I didn't know how to do trig, I would have failed for sure. Everything is based on MyMathLab.

I had a great time with Professor Howard. Really cares for her students and their grades. She wants to see everyone pass. Lectures but gives a lot of time to go over any hw questions. Hw is not hard as long as you lay attention in class. Gives extra credit and helps in office hours.

class is only reviewing homework questions then she lectures about the next homework you have to do. All homework is due on a certain day before the test. being a math education major really helps me get through her class.

Gives good feedback, awesome and nice Professor. The only thing you might hate is the homework. There's a lot but they'll make you perform better on the tests.

Professor Howard wants her students to succeed. If you show up to class and do the hw you should do pretty well. The tests are the same as the hw, and she offers extra credit.

Comment:

While she is a very kind and lovable woman, do not take her course. She will try to explain things the best she can but even she confuses herself while doing work which makes it more difficult. The formatting she does when she teaches and on the homework is completely different than the way her tests are written. Even tutoring didn't help here.

Comment:

Deborah is a kind woman, but the whole class spent so much time correcting her mathmatical errors that there wasn't much time to learn. When I asked for help on one problem it took her 45 minutes. Tons of homework all due at the same time. She is extremely scattered rarely shows up for office hours. Tutoring center useless, final cumulative.

Comment:

She was a sweet professor though the coursework was pretty difficult to understand. Basically had to teach myself through homework problems and it kept getting harder and harder. She is willing to help you out though questions on homework or notes don't match up with the tests so you don't know what to expect. Never take her again!

she's honestly the sweetest person. She doesn't take attendance but don't think that is a good thing, if you miss a class you miss a lot. Quizzes and homework are all online and there is A TON of it. She teaches well but then you go to do the homework and get so lost. I spent numerous hours at the math spa and still couldn't understand :(

Everybody had trouble with this class but it was literally so easy. The exams are posted on her website with almost the exact same questions. All homework is unlimited chances so all you have to do is listen in class and you are guaranteed an A.

Comment:

Professor Howard is an amazing and caring professor. If you do your homework, you should be ok. I fell behind early in the class due to the death of my sister and Prof. Howard personally tutored me to get me up to speed. Stats is hard, but got back up to making A's again. I took her for Stat 1001, too, and had the same opinion.

Prof. Howard is so great! She's always so happy and she really loves what she teaches. She explains things very clearly, and your best bet is to work slightly ahead so you can ask for specific questions you have issues with. You will pass if you keep up with ALEKS, but it's a good bit of work if you don't learn quickly. Great prep for Calc.

Professor Howard was amazing. Stats is hard, but she was always there to help me with my questions. She is a very sweet lady with a great sense of humor. We do have homework but its all online, and so are all the quizzes. She also drops three quizzes and one homework. Also gives extra credit for donating blood or $ to a charity. TAKE HER!!!

Comment:

All homework and quizzes are online on the Pearson program and I hated that. 1-2 quizzes each week and tries are unlimited. Only does 1-2 problems per section and when you get to the homework, you're completely lost. The tests are exactly like the quizzes and are fairly easy. 4 tests and a final. Would not take again.
