Comment:
Nancy knows her stuff, she is the self-proclaimed stats guru at P.C.C. however she isn't patient with students and makes condescending remarks if a repeat question is asked or she is asked to repeat herself. The material is thorough and the workbook is a nice supplement.

Comment:
Nancy has been teaching statistics for over 30 years and knows her stuff. She provides you with everything you need to succeed. Yes she is very nitpicky about how you report yours answers, but it is not unrealistic. I had her for both 243 and 244. Her teaching is easier because she teaches you lots of calculator shortcuts unlike other professors.

Comment:
Toughest class I've had so far, but Nancy is extremely organized and knows the material inside and out. Very harsh grader, so triple-check your work. Homework is optional and for practice, but you won't do well without it. I spent 6-7 hours a week working through homework problems.

Comment:
I would not recommend this teacher at all. Not very helpful, Only early morning office hours. And not very good at grading papers. I'd either get a good grade or very poor grade. She does not explane her grading very well after the fact. This lady needs to retire! Wish I would have done more research before taking her class...

Comment:
She demands perfection but if you pay attention in class, do your practice homework, and ask questions you will easily pass the class. Be aware there are only 3 graded HW assignments, 2 Midterms, and 1 Final so you have to do well on them. You don't have take any notes because she provides you with them and working examples. She's very organized!

Fantastic instructor who expects you to learn and be responsible for your work at a university level. Your work must be perfect, but she tells you in no uncertain terms what she wants. Extremely fair and provides opportunities for bonus points on tests and final. Loved this class!

Comment:
Excellent teacher, not for the faint of heart who want an easy A though.I was supposed to take Stats with Muzos, but she retired and I ended up with Roper.The material isn't difficult,but there are only 3 worksheets,2 tests,and the final which are graded, and your whole grade depends on you doing well on them.No extra homework points for cushion.

Nancy is not tough, she just doesn't put up with any crap and won't spoon feed you. If you're too cool to come to class, you won't do well. Best teacher at PCC, hands down. You will learn lots, but yes, gasp, you will have to do work! Most PCC students can't handle that.

Roper is an excellent teacher. You will learn the material in her class. However she's also the toughest grader I've come across at PCC. If you want to learn, take her, if you want an A, take someone else.

Nancy Roper will give you everything you need to succeed in her 243 and 244 classes if you are responsible enough to be accountable to learn. She does not "spoon-feed" students but will do anything to help you learn that she can. If you want to understand the material, she is excellent. If you just want to pass with an easy grade, pick someone el

Comment:
I had Nancy for both 243 and 244 and was kind of reluctant to take her. Now I wish all my teachers would follow her lead. To many teachers are wishy washy about grading and expectations, not Nancy. She should teach a class on how to teach for other teachers really. And she is very nice don't be fooled by first impressions

I love Nancy's organization and structure. She's not super friendly but she has been doing this forever and knows exactly how to teach it. I don't even need to take 244 but am thinking about it just to take her again.

I'm a business professor and considered by colleagues to be an excellent communicator. My work for this class came back covered in red ink. How refreshing - an instructor willing to take the time to help students improve communications. Cherish it. Study hard. She's a tough teacher with high expectations. If you can't stand the heat...

She is a great teacher. Very organized and has been teaching forever. She allows plenty of time to answer homework questions, and she supplies a packet that covers everything. However, missed points on workesheets and exams add up! Everything has to be exactly right. Overall, its really nice to have such an organized and seasoned teacher.

Comment:
Where to begin. She is a teacher so set in her own form of rhetoric any deviation from EXACTLY her way of completing statistics is rewarded with missed points, blank stares, and cyclical arguments. Having taken far more advanced Statistics in the past, this course is a comparative joke. Stay away if you know anything about Stat prior to taking.

she created a well organized packet containing all notes you will need for the term. This made learning the material in class much easier(no note taking) Have an A in the class so far, but study about 3 hrs a day. Shes a great teacher if you want to understand stats, but beware! shes a HARDCORE TOUGH teacher/grader! no spelling errors on tests etc.

Comment:
This is a real class. You're going to learn TONS, but its not going to come easy. She runs the class like a real professor, not like most of the "teachers" at PCC. She's as hard and cold as stone, and is by far the best math teacher I have EVER HAD. She made stat understandable and looking back, I got the grade I deserved.
