Comment:
With the horrible experience I had with professor Katherine Cook, Hillyard was a breath of fresh air. She genuinely cares about the students and wants to see you succeed. Literally just show up to class and you'll be on track for an A. She gives a lot of chapter quizzes, participation matters, kahn academy requirements were simple enough.

Didn't teach much at all. Tough grader on projects. Requirements are often vague. Takes forever to give feedback. Nice lady but not a good teacher

Comment:
I took her for IAS inquiry, and while it was really easy, it was clear her heart wasn't into it. Lots of class discussion where only one or two people end up talking. Lots of busy work.

Comment:
The only people getting bad grades are the ones who do not show up to class or do not complete the homework problems (moderate - semi-difficult). On the flip side, these problems over prepare you for the midterm and final which are seem easier than the homework/challenge problems. She is not a fan of using calculators so know the material

Comment:
Had her a couple times, and both times felt like I had to rely on myself to learn the material. She always makes people work in groups, and online homework is awful. I really did not enjoy the class at all, but I guess that can be expected when it's calculus. :)

Comment:
She is a good teacher for the IAS program. I feel that we got a lot of leway on our work and that there was not much busy work which made it easier. The portfolio is practiclly spoon fed to you and it is kind of hard not to get a good grade if you do your work and show up for most of the classes

Comment:
I learned a lot in this class, unlike several of my classmates who spent most of their time whining and complaining. The subject matter was dry but examples made it better. A lot of in-class work and only 2 quizzes. She was very helpful in answering students' questions and any question was a good question. I feel more prepared for stats now!

Doesn't answer email. Uses lots of small group work to have your peers teach you the material. Disconnect between online homework and offline tests.

very nice lady but don't take her if u need a good grade for grad school! doesn't teach you how to use programs on your calculator...its all by hand! tests are very hard and worded confusingly, she clearly loves stats but doesn't seem to notice not everybody does. I've worked my ass off and am just passing with a 2.0

If you had a prior knowledge of higher level math (calculus or above) then the class time and lectures were a waste of time. Fairly easy grader if you did the homework.

The class was rediculous-which might been see as a good thing, but in this case it wasn't. Pure torture!
