Comment:
Lectures are uninteresting and slides are too dense. Not the best lecturer. She lets you retake quizzes which is nice. Quiz on Friday, office hours Monday where she reviews quiz answers, retake same quiz Tuesday. Go to office hours! Take the final project seriously since it's worth 50% of the overall grade.

Comment:
Dr. Feldman really wants her students to learn the materials. You have to study the first several weeks really well on the theory part in order to get good grade on the quizez (which is significant for your grade). Go to office hour is really helpful. She's always there being really nice and get ready to help. Same thing for the final project.

Comment:
Jesus christ. Where do I start? Take only if you have to. Quizzes are worth 40% of your grade. Only two per quarter. Final is 40%. The outline for the final loose, vague, and unhelpful. Her grading is not only harsh, but some of her criticisms were directly answered in my report. Her office hours are unhelpful handwaving and just as vague.

She doesnt know how to teach at all. She can only copy and paste her lecture notes. When write homework, you shall only follow her logic, or she would think you are wrong. Rediculous.

Professor Feldman is an incredible teacher and is very well respected in the department. That being said, she is a tough teacher and has no problem failing students who don't put in the effort. Its not an easy A, but still probably one of the most important classes in the major. Office hours are a must if you want to pass the class

Pstat 174 was my favorite stats class by far. Professor Feldman is incredibly brilliant and so helpful in her office hours. No midterm or final, just weekly homeworks and a final project. I would absolutely take a class with her again!

She does have an accent but you can tell that she cares a lot about teaching the subject. Her class isn't extremely hard but it isn't super easy either. I went to CLAS twice a week and I managed to pull an A out of the class.

Her accent takes a while to get used to. Make sure to take CLAS so that the material is easier to understand.

I guess not her fault...but I can't understand a word this professor is saying! This makes the lectures completely pointless.

Angry person. Holier than thou attitude. Thick accent and intimidating personality. Better get some help if you sign up for her class (or drop out if you can).

Raya has such policy: she is wise mother, you are naive child. Sometimes rewarded with candy, often times spanked. If you like this, then she is right for you.

Shes actually not that bad of a teacher. People just give her a bad wrap because they are iggnorant. Her class is not difficult just as long as you follow along with the reader and go to section.
