Candace Turitto GVPT320 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/24/2023	This class was very straightforward. All code needed for any homework or project was carefully explained in class, and both Professor Turitto and the TA were more than happy to help clear up any confusion. Grading criteria tended to be unclear. For the final project, I was looking at 3 documents to piece together the instructions. Still enjoyable!
Candace Turitto GVPT320 Expecting a B+ Anonymous 05/11/2023	If I could give her a 4.5 I would, but 5 stars it is. Dr. Turitto is very smart but this class is extremely difficult. I think she teaches it well and doesn't baby her students but expect to be challenged. She's funny, intelligent, and nice. I would take this class right after GVPT201 because this class builds off 201. Utilize her and her TAs office hours and take the class seriously or else you won't succeed unless you're already amazing at math and coding.
Candace Turitto GVPT320 Anonymous 12/19/2022	Really important class for developing skills in R, and generally the assignments/projects helped achieve this goal. The workload is not too overwhelming and the professor and TA were very helpful in working through questions with the material. However I found Professor Turitto's instructions on the final project and most of the assignments to be vague and confusing, resulting in my getting points off for small things that were not made clear at the beginning of the assignment. It required that I ask for a lot of clarification on work and the final project, so just something to be aware of. Otherwise good class!

The class itself wasn't my favorite just because I'm not a math person, but Dr. Turitto is an engaging and disarming presence in the classroom.
Candace Turitto GVPT320 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/01/2022	Professor Turitto is super nice, very knowledgeable, makes her lectures funny, and is overall a wonderful person. She is very good at explaining complicated statistical topics in a way that is easy to understand. GVPT 320 is really an extension of GVPT 201, and she does a good job of reviewing the 201 content before launching in to anything new. There can be a lot of repetition of 201 content at times, but this course does go farther. Lectures can be a bit boring and are sometimes nonstop R commands, but they're informative. Overall a great class, especially if you want to get comfortable working in R. Can't go wrong with Professor Turitto.
