Prof: Yan Xing / Fall 2021

Comments on the course

The course isn't a particularly difficult course, that is if the course coordinator had any idea what they're doing. Professors are routinely asked to remove review days to pack in more content before a midterm. All of the largest homework assignments and computer projects are always due the night before midterms, which is just poor coordination and only aids in stressing students out more. My professor's lectures were scattered at times and never any more useful than the $35 online textbook we use throughout the year. The textbook is great and explains things well, it fills in the gaps for the professors.

Course Content

Not sure I'll apply any of this unless I was studying data science or any other statistical field. Just a bunch of copying and pasting code.

Comments on the professor

My professor was kind of hard to follow in lectures and seemed scattered at times. I would give them the benefit of the doubt as they're a new professor because they were extremely helpful with specific questions.

Advice

I wish I knew the reputation this course has, every student I have ever asked about this course has said "oh that sucked" or something similar. It's just a well-known bad course.

Comments on the course

Don’t take it! It’s useless

Course Content

Ridiculous and trivial content which will not assist any students within their work!

Comments on the professor

I guess she is the only one whom all students agreed that she provides the worst course ever! I am happy that I am done with this hell but if I can bring back time, I would have taken another course instead of it! I heard some rumors about her for being so stiff with students although they understand nothing of her course 😅!

Advice

Take another Stat course

Comments on the course

Awful course and the instructor knows nothing of statistics! Never imagined to see many texts in a math-based course! Worst thing is that she makes mistakes in teaching, lecture content, even tutorials but she is so harsh in grading! Her TAs are even worse than her!

Course Content

Basics of statistics which help in nothing but deducting the GPA! I feel sorry that it’s a required course for graduation! I believe its quality is meant for failing students and make them suffer! If she refrains us from her low quality content and leave this course for professionals who know how to deliver information properly, it would be a blessing!

Comments on the professor

She knows nothing of teaching nor proper communicational skills with students! One wonders how come Purdue approved her being a tutor! All students are complaining about her!

Advice

Don’t take this course unless you want to challenge yourself mentally and emotionally!
