Reviews of professor Elodie Goodman

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
If you don't know quantative/statistics before, you're going to have a disastrous semester. A simple basic knowledge was the same as advanced mathematics problems in ppts she showed. Goodman doesn't want students to bring any electronic devices in her class, but feel ridiculous that she doesn't have enough copies for each class.

Unfortunately had a very bad experience in this course. I have taken statistics before and it was not as over complicated as she made it. It was hard to ask questions because she would make us feel inept. A lot of classmates and I struggled heavily during her course. If you're not a stats pro, I'd recommend a different professor.

This course is very hard. If you go to restroom and come back, you wont know anything laters. And the rest of the course will be bored. It is very very hard to focus on and have to watch the video of the class. Exam is hard, if you have a bad grade, you will take this course again.

Prof. Goodman is passionate about what she is teaching and is very good at articulating the material in an understandable way. Her class is fairly difficult, however, it is because of the subject, not her. I feel she set me up to do well in other classes too. I think she is fair in how she grades and would take another class she is instructing.

Lectures were a bit drawn out. Midterm and final were a pain in the ass too. A lot of questions had a "none of the above" option which constantly made me question the answer I got. The tests have a HUGE curve, so as long as you learn some of the basics you should pass.

This professor assumes you know the basics of stats and gets upset for asking any simple question.

Prof Goodman put in a lot effort to the class compared to other professors, her ppt is organized and contains a lot of useful information. She also provides a formula sheet for the exams so the tests are focus on understanding the materials not memorizing. Great class overall!

Goodman's way of teaching is backwards &all over the place. Once you think you have got the grasp of something, she throws a curve ball. It almost seems as though she is teaching herself the content for the first time as well. To add on, she has a very nasty attitude. When wanting clarification she almost makes it seem like your question is invalid
