Reviews of professor Joan Durso

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Learned very little statistics. Focused more on history of famous statisticians and random, irrelevant information than the material we were meant to be learning. A very easy A, but too frustrating to be worth it. All econ majors that need this class as a prerequisite for econ 208 were extremely irritated and disappointed.

This was Dr. Durso's 1st semester at Duke, so the class was a bit unorganized/unpredictable. There's weekly homework, labs, and quizzes, but she grades super fairly- we got to drop 2 labs, 2 hws, & 2 quiz grades and the midterms are weighted most heavily on your best grade. She's super intelligent, experienced, and genuinely cares for her students
