This class is very confusing. Her lectures and handouts are hard to follow even after asking questions for clarification. Don't expect to contact her over email, she doesn't check it. She also doesn't use blackboard, making it hard to keep up with your progress in the class. Attendance is mandatory or she will deduct points.

Professor Rouse does not use blackboard, which makes it difficult to find your grades and access the syllabus if you lose the paper copy. She also does not answer her email. Her classes are full of boring lectures, but attendance is mandatory. I would never recommend this class to anyone.

I would not recommend this instructor. She does not seem interested in the material or whether you pass or fail. Rambles and after taking the course I still don't have a clue what it was even about.

Comment:

I'd never cared much for math, but Dr. Rouse made me fall in love with statistics. I personally found her very clear and interesting. She definitely has a different approach to math. She made math seem more approachable to me and more applicable to aspects of life outside of business and tech. You've got to put in the work, but she's very helpful.

It was horrible. She rambles constantly and the lectures aren't even remotely on the tests. All book and handouts. I would definitely not recommend taking her. Mandatory attendence that doesn't actaully teach you anything. Loves talking about random things that don't have anything to do with subject.

Does not answer e-mails. Doesn't make any sense. Worst professor I've ever had. The tests were easy - just go by the text. She is willing to meet outside of class and try to help but she's still confusing. She will show your work on the projector and make fun of it. She's very sassy and a little rude. Don't take her. Also wasn't interesting at all.

Prof Rouse is funny and sassy, although her lectures do not usually help with learning the material. However, she provides very helpful handouts- read those and the textbook and you'll be fine. 4 tests, all multiple choice-----no essays! awesome.

Comment:

Did not understand a word she spoke in this class. The book is the only thing that saves you in this class. Do not take this class if you have not taken a stats class before because you will not understand a thing, no matter how smart you are! She's kind of boring too. I could not even help myself from falling asleep.

Nice lady, but really bad teacher. Taking a social stats class and have yet to do any problem solving that clearly shows what steps to follow. Not a good math teacher. DO NOT take her!

By no means was this an easy class, but being an upper level course a certain level of difficulty is to be expected. Attendance is mandatory, and essintial to make an A or B. Dr. Rouse is very nice and willing to help students, but students definitly have to earn their grade. I would not recommend this class for an elective.

She shouldn't deduct points for attendance if she can't even be on time every day herself. I was passing her Identity class, but she took off so many attendance points that it ruined my grade. She is very inconsiderate of circumstances for missing class. Do not take her! Worst teacher!

A complete delight as a person. Unfortunately, can't say same for teaching ability. She appears to have ADD & is incapable of following a thought thru. If you require order & structure, don't take this class, not a learning environment. If you're strong in math and grasp stats already,you won't care about all the extra details and will be fine.

Comment:

I wouldnt recommend her for stats if you havent ever taken it before. The only reason I got a B is because Ive taken stats before and understand it. She clutters the board with scribble and talks off topic. I know stats but when I listened to her she confused me. I was better off not going to class but it was mandatory. She wrote the "textbook"

Finally done with this class and I wouldn't recommend anyone taking her. It was a bad class. She never reviewed before exams and would go into these crazy lectures that didn't make sense. Good luck if you take her bc you will need it. This was not an easy class to take. It was not a good class to be in.

There was a previous comment about this being an easy "A" class. That's CRAZY!! My entire life I've been an honor roll student and after taking this class, I'm no longer. Dr. Rouse makes this class more difficult then it should be. Why are they allowing her to continue to teach this class?!!

Comment:

She is a really BAD teacher. All her exams are basically THEORY (little problem solving). She has her own glossary w/definitions but when you take exams, she RE-WORDS entire definitions. It's INSANE. YOU WILL REGRET IT IF YOU TAKE HER. You can't miss more then 4 days from her class or you get a lot of points deducted.

Dr. Rouse is a nice lady BUT she has no business teaching math. She gives boring lectures and when working problems on board, they're a mess. I showed her authored text to 2 other phd math prof. and they were stunned bc they couldn't understand either. They said if they couldn't understand her work, the average student would be very lost.

Comment:

Math is "NOT" an easy subject for me but if you're fortunate to have a good math teacher, you will do just fine. This is not the case with Dr. Rouse. She is very confusing. She lectures more on math instead of showing you the steps & when she works out a problem, she rambles on about things we don't even need to know. I don't recommend taking her.
