You will work in this class and you will work hard but trust me, it does pay off! He assignments are GREAT and help to provide a clear understanding. Lisa provides GREAT feedback and is INCREDIBLY interactive and answers questions. The exams are open book although they are tricky and difficult. STUDY for the exam and after class.

This class was not at all what I expected. She is very understanding. Exams are easy. Tell her you panic in exams with lots of people around. She'll let you take the exam home with you and return it later. Got an A!!!

Great prof! Super clear and organized. Makes stats easy to comprehend, but is realistic about the dullness of it all

I disagree she's as easy as people say.Even though tests are open book, she'll usually manage to have tricky stuff in there.However, she ROCKS as a teacher!Gives extremely clear lectures and is sooo nice and helpful.It's sad she won't teach 115/116 anymore.She's so passionate about her involvement in the public health field.A phenomenal professor.

AMAZING!I don't like math at all, and she made the class so enjoyable.Connects things to real-life situations and you can tell she's so passionate about her involvement in the medical field.She'll convince you to minor in stats and public health.She's also great in office hours, only problem is a lot of people go to them, so she's always very busy.

Professor Sullivan genuinely cares about all of her students. Her lectures are very clear and she is always willing to provide extra help. Her office hours are usually busy so ask the TF for help too. Going to lectures is imparative. Tests are open book, open notes, and be sure to bring a detailed formula sheet. I highly recommend her!

She's just awesome. She's fair with exams, very clear and concise with lectures, and quick at returning grades. She makes the class fun and when there's nothing to do, she lets you out early. What more do you want?

Great professor. Clear, concise, and helpful. Took 115 with Posner and regretted it. But Prof. Sullivan made the world of stats okay again. Also, she has a great dry sense of humor for those intelligent enough to get it. Take stats with her, you won't be disappointed!

Professor Sullivan is simply the best. Very intelligent and passionate. Brings real world example from her work into the class to make it clear to us that stats do matter. She made me want to be a public health AND stats minor. Only take stats from her.
