Diann is a very tough grader. Her lectures are well explained, but if you do not study outside of class, you will not pass. I have never felt like such a mediocre student in my life, and I had to WORK for this B. She's very willing to help outside of class, so definitely reach out if you need. It will help you tons.

Her lectures were thorough and well explained. However, we didnt really use the textbook too much. I definitely suggest doing the practice problems. Theyre not required but super helpful!

Very easy A as long as you go to class and pay attention. She offers a lot of extra credit opportunities to boost your grade. Do not waste money on the textbook for this class I never used mine, and it had no effect on my grade. Very nice lady.

Professor Reischman was great. Her tests MIRROR the worksheets she gave out. You don't need to understand everything she writes down on the board, as long as you can do the worksheets and use the chart. You have to put the time in but it isn't very much. Other than that, sometimes she seems a bit scattered but is extremely nice.

Great prof. Notes are printed out and you just fill in the blanks. Gives good feedback on each quiz and test. Lectures were a little dry, but still 100% recommend. Notes are presented in an organized manner and you know what is going to be on tests. DO THE PRACTICE PROBLEMS (they directly resemble quiz questions) !!

She seemed like a nice enough woman, but just not that great of a professor. No matter how many lectures I went to, and how many hours I studied, I still ended up getting a low grade on the quizzes that you have every class. All of your grade is basically tests.

I loved this prof! She explains topics more than she expects students to know. There's weekly quizzes, but they're exactly like the non-required homework. She has fill-in-the-blank note packets. I studied for maybe an hour for each of the 2 tests and got A's on both. Just write everything down and don't have your phone out at all!

Extremely boring. Looks at you like you're stupid if you ask a question. Tests are really hard: studying doesn't help. Textbook is impossible to understand, created by GV professors and terrible quality. This class is dry as the Sahara. Homework is annoying and worth too few points. Seems like everyone failed this class........

She is very effective. Has handouts each week with fill in the blanks for notes that she goes through. Quizzes every week that can be tricky, but aren't terrible. No surprises on exams, study a bit for them and you will be fine. No homework other than practice problems to prepare for the quiz if you choose to do them. I would recommend taking her.

Is the worst stats professor at gvsu, take anyone else. She gives a quiz every week on material that's irrelevant to material taught. She treats everyone like children, lectures are god awful boring and don't help much.... Oh did your grandma die or did you get really sick well It doesn't matter because there are no make ups for test or quizzes.

Avoid this professor at all costs. She makes things over complicated and has unnecessary weekly quizzes. She will make this class more time consuming and stressful than your more important classes.

Treats you like a child. She isn't willing to help you with the simplest things. I absolutely hated this class. If you study you'll do fine, it's just a pain to sit through the lectures and quizzes every week. Take anyone else if possible.

Do not take this class with her. She gives a quiz at the start of every class period regardless of material learned in the last class and exams are TOUGH. Like no review sheet, no even clues to what will be on your test. It's rough and you really have to do the homework she assigns/just leaves on blackboard and doesn't ever talk about. Good luck...

She teaches very well and uses good examples. Be ready for a 25 point quiz every other class period. Very picky when it comes to grading. Workload not much though.

Professor is knowledgeable and helpful - conveys information clearly and provides multiple handouts and examples to aid understanding. Workload is very manageable, and an A is definitely attainable if you're willing to put in the time.

Really nice and clear, maybe a little boring and comes off as she doesn't care, but if you go to her office hours and are nice she is willing to help you out at the end of the semester.

She is a good teacher but if you have her early in the morning you might as well not go to class because you will fall asleep anyway. She tells you exactly what you need to know but is just really boring! There's a bit of code writing that you do but you should get used to it - especially if you're a CS or IS major =]

I was very happy with how professor Reischman taught STA 215. She isn't the most interesting teacher, but she is clear with each lesson and teachs you through using examples which is how I learn best. I would recommend her to anyone who has to take 215.
