I've heard mixed reviews from people who didn't take AP stat, which I can understand because she does move pretty quickly through topics during lectures. However, she is very passionate about stats and will do her best to keep you engaged. Discussions are done in a group once a week and are good practice problems to review for exams. She prepares us well and gives us a practice test/formula sheet that is helpful for exams. In terms of homework, each week we have one reading with comprehension questions and a problem set (you get two attempts on this).
Liz Stanwyck BMGT230 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/21/2024	She is a great professor. You can tell she is well versed and passionate about what she teaches, and her enthusiasm really shines through. Out of all my professors, she is definitely the most engaging with her lectures. The content is a little difficult at first, but as the semester goes on, you literally use the same formulas over and over again. Plus, she gives you a whole formula sheet every exam. She explains each topic in detail and does practice problems along the way. I honestly started the semester dreading this class but now it's my favorite to go to.

Assignments are all not too hard but I wish they weighed slightly more as exams account for over 75% of the grade. Practice exams are very helpful but this class moves very fast and some questions on the exam can be confusing to understand. She’s very understandable but the course is hard with the amount of formulas you have to know how to apply, and she doesn’t teach shortcuts either. Amazing person, hard class, needs to lighten exam weight and slow down.

Prof Stanwyck frustrates me beyond belief because she teaches as though everybody has a background in stat already, which is not the case. If you haven't taken stat in the past, this class is hard. The only people doing well and praising her are those who have taken stat previously because they already know everything. She likes to skip a lot of the practice problems in class because she thinks it's "self-explanatory", but I just find it counterproductive to those who haven't taken stat because practice is really the only way to do well here. While her lectures are engaging, she isn't good at thoroughly explaining concepts. Her study guides for the exams are also completely useless, and she uses McGraw Hill for her homeworks so they take hours to complete. If you can avoid this class you should, especially if she's the one teaching it.

It's honestly hard not to pay attention in class because she speaks with such enthusiasm that it gets me excited to learn. You can tell she enjoys teaching and that she knows what she is talking about. Plus, she thoroughly explains each concept and immediately reviews practice problems step by step right after to ensure students grasp and understand them. She explains concepts on a deeper level than the textbooks and gives us good information without overcomplicating things. If you just copy everything she writes down and draws on her note sheet in the lectures, you will have almost perfect notes that explain every chapter's contents and practice problems.
