Comment:

I would never take this prof again. Her lectures are long, confusing and boring. I took it online but she was so rude to her students and she talks to them like they're stupid. There is an absurd amount of homework and the tests are way harder than they need to be. I repeat DO NOT TAKE HER!!

Comment:

After reading comments from Class Evals I had to come over here and say something. The fact that so many students got an F in her course is so shocking to me. I took the class without knowing that and I thought 90% of the students will get an A. Super easy class if you actually spend time understanding everything instead of rushing to finish them

I took this class online in fall 2019 and it wasn't too bad. Just had to watch youtube lectures and submit homework assignments through blackboard. TAs held study sessions for exam. I met her in person once and she was very nice and wanted the best for her students, she does curve if you dont do too well

I took AMS 102 as a winter course with this prof. My actual test/homework scores earned me a B+ but prof. Hagedorn gave me an A-. The content she provides is very detailed/organized. Theres nothing on an exam/quiz/hmwk you wont go over prior in class. She give extra credit and even goes over it before hand so you understand how to do it. AMAZING!

Fell severely ill while taking her class, she is so accommodating and approachable. She will go above and beyond if you don't understand something. Very good professor, would recommend.

It was awesome learning from her and dealing with her. The work load was tremendous. HW intense. Exams hard but fair, grading was generous. The journey arduous nevertheless. Ask questions, she emails you back the same day! Excellent teacher. Complete notes, hw solution and explanations provided. Impressive. Hardest class ever at SBU

Comment:

She is a nice person. Nonetheless, her class is so bad. Did all I couldve done (read the textbooks, watch all her lectures twice, do all the practice questions she gave, did all the hw by myself, go to TA office hour) but still end up bombing the exam. Dont take their class if you want to save your gpa.

Comment:

Professor Hagedorn goes over lecture material very quickly so make sure to pay attention in class. She posts multiple homework ahead of time. There are only 3 exams (including the final) and she also gives extra credit homework. She allows you to bring a single flash card with your notes on the 2nd midterm and the final.

Prof Bakoo expects hard work, gives hard exams but prepares you with tons of solved review problems and serious class notes. I was in trouble, sought help and she saw me through my problems on her own time a few times. She had my back. This material will kill you. Its so hard but shes a gem, just reach out early. Awesome humble and helpful!

Bakoo is the kindest most caring professor. Her Priority is the student. responded to emails within 2 hours all semester complete explanations every time. Never met a more devoted teacher.

Comment:

She goes into the theory of the material that is not even being tested, non math majors simply dont care, I just want to know how to solve the problems. We are allowed to use Ti84 but still teaches us the full formulas. in addition, it was simply the most boring class ive ever attended in my life. take a different teacher or different school

Comment:

The bottom review (the one where I said I didn't understand statistics, the one below this review) didn't state when I took the course. I took the course in Fall 2016. I didn't want to mislead anyone into thinking I took the course currently.

Comment:

She isn't a bad professor- it seemed like she knew what she was doing. The problem lied with me trying to understand statistics than Bakoo's teaching of statistics. I didn't have any background in statistics, I think that would have helped in the long run. If you want to take the class, do all the homework and attend every single class.

Comment:

This class is excellent and Prof. Hagedorn really prepares you well for her tests. She teaches you the concepts behind the stats and does enough practice problems in class that you should know how to do it all on the test as long as you pay attention. Watch the lectures, do the hw and all the practice tests she provides and you should be good!

Comment:

Yeah she does not teach for you to understand at all. Her class is more numbers than conceptual. You have to put in extra effort into learning so you can apply what you learn (on your own) to take her difficult tests.

I truly LOVE professor Hagedorn !!! She is literally amazing and I would take her class over again. She gives lots of homework( Seriously ONLINE and WRITTEN). However, she is very understanding and fair. Her lectures were some of the best I've ever had. Her exams aren't too bad. Just do the HW and study and you will be fine !!

The work load is a lot, so be prepared to put in the hours. However, she is probably the best stats teacher in SBU. I was failing the class in the beginning of the semester and managed to pass with a B. Definitely take her if you can

Comment:

Bakoo is a teacher that cares for her students to do more than just take a course. She stresses understanding what you are doing, and gives plenty of opportunity to better yourself and keep up with the class. FM material is VERY demanding, so if you are not the type to spend more than the 6+ hours a week doing work, this is not the course for you.

Comment:

The online homework looks like a lot, but really isn't that bad. The written hw is a bit much though in terms of time consumption, but she's really great about giving help. The tests are fair, and she won't ever really try to play any tricks on her tests. Also really cares about her students.
