Reviews of professor Brandi Goodspeed

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lots of busy work/discussion posts. Prof. G was consistently late on grading assignments, on one group project I didn't get feedback for about 6 weeks. Not clear expectations for her assignments, a lot of the class is dependent on you being able to mind-read what she's looking for. She gives good feedback, but you're going to have to wait for it.

Not a great lecturer, needs to work on trying to make material interesting and accessible, she gets caught up in overly complicating issues that should be interesting to a point that you learn material more from the textbook or your own research. She grades heavy on attendance, which is a ridiculous criteria for passing a course.

Professor showed up to class on time only 3x throughout the semester-including exam days. She often seems distracted and disorganized, and goes off on unrelated tangents that make lectures confusing. Nice person, but far less professional than I expected paying almost $400/unit. Do not take classes with this Professor if you want to learn anything.

If you have taken intro to stats or AP stats, this class with be incredibly boring and repetitive. If you have not taken stats, it moves so fast with concepts that you will find yourself struggling to keep up. I don't think we had a textbook? Maybe we did, but I have no idea. Despite what you may think about that statement, I passed with an A.

The class was extremely hard. This class made me cry several times. The PPT notes never include all of the formulas and information from past units that were built on to get to this unit. She also called us lazy, bc we didn't fix a problem we didn't understand in the first place. Be compassionate and get that a lot of us don't know stats coming in
