Reviews of professor Laura Ikuma

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This class went along with a weekly lab (mostly group work). Grades based on lab, tests, and in class questions. Material is not difficult to understand and can bring 1 sheet of notes in for every test. Ikuma is an OK professor, kind of monotone. It was easy for me to follow her PP in class and do things on my laptop.

Awesome. Her grading seems harsh, but its fair and she is usually clear about her expectations. High expectations for precision and accuracy, but its made me more confident in my abilities because I end up working harder to understand the material and be intentional about the results im producing. I actually learn relevant material in her classes.

Dr. Ikuma is an overall good professor. She does know the material well, but if you get behind and can't figure out how to use JMP, you won't do well. Very few grades but will help you with anything that isn't an exam during office hours. Not an amazing teacher, but definitely better than the other Industrial Engineering professors at LSU.

She's really good! The only thing is you HAVE to be EXTREMELY detailed in lab reports. Make sure you answer every single question she asks or she will take off points. For participation, you answer a few questions on TOPHAT. You get 0.5 points just for answering, the other .5 if its right. Review her old exams and the tests are easy to pass!

Dr. Ikuma is a great professor! She explains the problems in detail, and her exams are fairly straightforward. The majority of the grades come from lab reports. Do not expect a high grade on the first lab report (our class average was an F). After you understand how she grades, they are easier to write. She gives good feedback on the grading.

Laura ikuma is an okay professor on campus , but as far as accommodating us in any way during this pandemic she did not care at all , its like she wanted us to fail , she gave little to no time to finish tests & she grades way too hard, she wants everything to be to the T when she doesnt even gives us enough information.

Dr Ikuma is easily the best professor in the Industrial Engineering department. If you want to learn about statistical analysis, take this class. She definietly grades tough, but is fair. She teaches the material well, and makes it easy to understand. Such a great teacher!
