| course comments : | Typical work for a math course with the exception of a big project at the end. |
| class : | Spring 2002 section 002 |
| grade received : | A+ |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | Pretty good stuff for the most part. The tests could be a little tricky with the multiple choice, and the end of year project is graded pretty harshly. Make sure to write alot on pval and basically go back and do all the old matlab's on your experiment. No big gripes tho. Pretty standard fare, easier than calculus I thought. |

| instructor comments : | I liked her. She gave a whole lot of extra credit if you attended class and was alot easier to understand than the guy that taught the other section (we had him for a sub for a couple weeks). |

| class comments : | Useless book which she requires for one or two assignments. My biggest complaint is that she taught the course almost entirely definitionally and not hardly anything mathamatically. |

| instructor rating : | 2 - Average |
| instructor comments : | I didn't like her tests at all. Statistics is about learning how math and everyday occurances relate, but all we got was the definitions of things like median, mode, and mean (we hardly even calculated those). |

| class comments : | No attendance policies... sometimes does extra credit in class that will bump you up at end of the semester. Possible to do fine in the class if you just do the HW's and understand them, and go to class the lecture before the quiz... she'll give hints sometimes. |

| class comments : | go to class. when i went everything made perfect sense and when i didnt i got really lost. material isnt difficult, just kinda tedious. you need to figure out how to use matlab, if anyone wants to teach me i still dont know it, lol. the tests followed the topics shed list for you. |

| instructor comments : | really really nice. explained things well. she was pregnant when i took this class, so im not sure when/if she was planning on coming back to teach |

| course comments : | I actually took this course at Chapel Hill, BIOS164, due to scheduling conflicts with CSC401 (needed both to graduate in double-major).
Course covers how to properly sample a finite population. All discrete ... no continous (i.e. normal) distributions. |
| class : | Spring 2005 section 002 |
| grade received : | N/A |
| class rating : | 2 - Average |
| class comments : | This course was THE hardest statistics class I had, moreso than ST421/ST422. It was a combination grad/undergrad course, and the instructor I had treated it more like a grad course.
We covered a lot of theory I didn't feel was necessary. All of the examples were health/medical based (Chapel Hill), which I didn't like. |
| instructor : | Arroway |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | Dr. Kalsbeek taught this at Chapel Hill. This man has 40+ years in the field of survey research ... most of this material is 2+2 to him. Lectures were powerpoint and usually well explained. Material SUCKED. |

| course comments : | This course is not very difficult. It is like AP high school statistics but with a dash of calculus (a small dash) and some experiment design. Not much material. |
| class : | Fall 2005 section 002 |
| grade received : | A+ |
| class rating : | 3 - Good |
| class comments : | Dr. Arroway made the class more interesting with in class work, instead of long drawn out lectures. Book is not worth buying since all test material comes from notes. Webassigns ridiculously easy. She presents material effectively. |
| instructor : | Arroway |
| instructor rating : | 3 - Good |
| instructor comments : | She present material very well, writing a few notes and then talking about them. Doesn't fly through stuff and answers questions. Gives in class work to help us understand right away the material. She takes awhile to respond to emails and get things graded. Sometimes cynical and gets very annoyed at people reading papers, talking, or sleeping during class, and will call you out on it. Sometimes it felt like our class was a burden for her. But she handles it all well. |
