She gets 2 stars because I've had way worse profs than prof Trevitt. That being said tho, the bar is in hell. She doesn't do the bare minimum when it comes to teaching. She reads straight from her slides, which come straight from the book. She does no practice problems, barely any examples, and just reads out the technicals. So, expect this class to be 100% self-taught. Unfortunately, you will have to show up to lectures, as there will be lecture quizzes.

It was really clear throughout the semester just how disorganized Dr. Trevitt is, both with students and behind the scenes. My TA was great (shoutout to Caitlyn!), but even she couldn't help much, since Dr. Trevitt wasn't communicating with the TA's well. Her exams were written last minute, we'd jump around in lectures and were a day behind almost the whole semester, things were set up in canvas incorrectly, homeworks were written or graded wrong and took a while to be fixed, exam grades took forever to come back (despite being online and mostly auto-graded), she didn't start posting lecture slides before class until a bunch of students asked for them, once they were posted they often had mistakes/typos in formulas that had to be corrected, etc. This class jumps from middle school level stats to college level stats very quickly, and the overall disorganization and lack of factually correct online resources/slides makes it really hard to be ready for that jump in difficulty.

Professor Trevitt is extraordinarily unorganized. On top of that she cannot answer simple questions based on her slides. If you do happen to ask a question she also is very rude and comes of condescending. I have nothing good to say about her. Biostat should have been an interesting course and she totally ruined it for me and makes me not want to go into statistics anymore. She is not clear about what is on exams, makes things more complicated than they need to be, and her "study guides"/"practice exams" are riddled with errors that make it even more confusing and hard to know what is correct and what is a typo. Stay far away from her and her class. Terrible in every way. She is not even a professor.

Lauren is pretty concise and professional in the way she presents things. Definitely not a bad TA.

Amazing professor! Really understanding and clearly cares about her students. Her exams and assignments are very reasonable. I learned a lot in this course.

Don't really understand what she says and just reads slides. Learned more from my TA than her. Also gives pop quizzes during lecture so attendance is a must.
