Comment:
Professor Tran is a great professor in my opinion. She isn't a professor who will take the time to get to know you or learn your name, but she teaches the material well and lays out the schedule clearly. There is homework and a quiz for every chapter but if you take the time to do it you will be fine. Don't be afraid to ask for help either.

Professor Tran is the worst professor I had at USF. She gets frustrated when you ask her questions. She expects you to know the material right after the lecture and questioned if you were in her class if you ask for help on previous material. There's a quiz after every chapter. Her test's wording is weird and will trip you up when answering it.

Help yourself by not taking this class, look for ANY other professor but her. I only got by because I took stats in high school. Very unclear grading policy, not receptive to answering student's questions, and often times I left her office hours more confused then when I got there.

Hard to understand what she says. Often helps you with work you don't understand but sometimes won't help you sometimes as well. Hard topic to teach especially if you can't understand your teacher. Course is laid out on the first day but difficult to keep up with as she doesn't help you along the way

Honestly not that bad of a teacher. She puts everything up on Canvas and writes everything on the board. Grading for homework is pretty easy and for "quizzes" you are allowed to use notes. Her 2 exams are set up like her handouts so you should be able to pass those if you study the handouts. She has an accent but you can still understand her.

Do yourself a favor and don't take this class. Hardest professor I've came across. She has a strong accent which made it harder to understand. Business Stat class was long and very fast paced. If you miss a class, you have a very high chance of failing so say goodbye to that "A." She's strict and has a attitude most of the time. Take someone else!

Comment:
It's very fast paced so it's required that you attend class every time to prevent falling behind although she does not clearly say attendance is mandatory. She writes everything down on the board from step 1 to 10 so it's hard to get lost. Very clear when it comes to preparation for her tests. She is an awesome teacher despite her strong accent.

Comment:
Horrible Professor. Definitely would not recommend. Classes are long and boring. Can never fully understand what she is saying due to heavy accent. Rushes through material, no depth. Does not ever go over correct quiz answers in class. Horribly structure of class, only two tests. I can honestly say that I'd rather take ANY other professor than her

Thick accent and not a great teacher. Gets frustrated when you ask her to repeat herself and can have days were she obviously is not in a good mood. Ended up passing the class because She liked me but I wouldn't take her. Boring class with not much work but she made it a tough class to pass.

Horrible teacher. Rushes through chapters and explanations. Rarely takes the time to go into depth, very difficult to follow. Heavy accent. Two tests, and one final. Terribly structured class.

This class is mandatory and extremely boring. Couldn't understand a word she was saying. She is a tough grader and expects way too much. Has a lot of attitude and very mean. I do NOT recommend this class. Just takes regular stats

She has a pretty heavy accent but you can easily understand her. Classes are boring but easy if you make the effort to stay awake and pay attention. Drops the lowest few quiz grades, but only two tests.

Yes, she has an accent but once you get passed it she's an ok professor. She passes around an attendance sheet and gives points for being present every now and then. Stats is easy except for probability but she does well teaching it. My only gripe was that the final was worth a lot and its not that easy. Messed up my final grade

I couldnt really understand her. She is kinda easy going and if your a guysm i think she treats u better. i didnt like the class and didnt learn anything that i didnt already know because i have taken Stats before in HS which was easier to understand that Van Tran's teaching. She made everything seem very complicated.

I have taken AP stats in high school, but didn't pass the AP exam. Compared to that this class is TOO EASY. However she's not a very good prof. She teaches like 1/3 less material than an AP class, so this class isn't fulfilling course standards =|. Won't get to the vital chapters. She is a bit difficult to understand, but she'll explain if you ask.

accent is a little heavy, but stil a really great professor. seems indifferent towards students but show commitment and willingness to learn, she'll ease up. doesnt teach from book (her methods are way easier) and attendance isnt mandatory, but go to class. extremely straight forward, tells you whats on exams. i recommend her if you dont want wolf!

She is really hard to understand and it makes the class not fun at all. She goes fast and it seems like she really doesn't want to take the time to explain subject material to individual students. She has this intimidating look to her. I hated going to her class, I would not take her class!

She has a really think accent and it makes it hard to understand lectures. The work is pretty easy and self-explanatory. She has an abrasive personality, but if you're good at teaching yourself, it's an easy class. I only went to class when homework was due.

She is a great professor who is willing to help her students and would love to listen to her students. For example, she would let us vote for the date we want to take the final. Also, her tests are easy to prepare because she gives exactly the same things from her practice test. No tricky problems for the final at all. HW's easy too!
