Reviews of professor Huyen Curtis

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If you know python, this will make your experience a lot easier. Tons of material is learned over a short period of time, you shouldn't miss lectures even though they are recorded. My only complaint is that somebody else grades the homework assignments and doesn't mark why the questions are wrong, only that 5 points are docked.

Professor Curtis is a kind woman who truly cares about her students. While the subject matter isn't very interesting, she does her best to give us relevant examples. She is extremely knowledgable, but can sometimes over-explain concepts, which ultimately makes it more confusing. She is flexible and the language barrier has minimal impact.

Curtis is a really nice woman, she really cares about her students and wants them to learn, but I find that she makes frequent mistakes in class. I took stats in HS, and I found that her way of explaining things made previously familiar subjects super confusing. It's not a hard class, but she just doesn't really make things all that clear.

I will be honest. I found Professor Curtis to be condescending in her emails. But then when I came to her office hours, she was very nice. I think it might be due to language that we might perceive her to be more condescending than she is in real life. Professor Curtis hw every week, but you can practice for exam. NEVER SKIP HER CLASS.

Prof Curtis means well and does an okay job summarizing the textbook and teaching it in a neater way. However, the amount of homework was generally excessive and I found her a little condescending at times when asking for help. Shes not too brutal on grading, but youre definitely going to have to put some work in to get an A or even a B+

If you're looking to take bstats you should definitely go for Dr. Curtis. Contents may get harder towards the second half of the semester but she is super caring and helpful during office hours. Workload is not large and grades fairly.

I feel like a lot of these comments aren't really fair to Dr. Curtis. She has her own style for lectures, which can definitely be confusing at times. But if you email her or go to office hours, she'll work with you until you get it, and she isn't judgmental when you ask questions. She's a fair grader, but you'll have to work hard in the class.

Curtis is so sweet and she does a great job explaining abstract concepts. I considered bstats difficult because the class covers ALOT of content and there will be many many formulas to memorize but I don't think you can blame the professor for that. It's just the subject. Got a B and I'm bad at math, if you are good at math you will be fine.
