Reviews of professor Verena Bethke

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Amazing professor. Very quirky and has a great sense of humor. Stats is a difficult course, but she makes it as simple to understand as possible and really takes her time to explain tough concepts (with tons of examples). She really cares about her students and goes out of her way to provide us with extra resources to help. Take her for sure!

My biggest fear was taking stats. I'm terrible at math and this class scared me, but Professor Bethke proved me wrong. I can actually say I like this math thing going. She made this class easy to understand. She does examples in class which worked super well with me because that helped me so much with homework and tests. Take her!!

She's great. Her way of explaining stats is so clear and she makes class super interactive by going over problems step-by-step with the class. Your grade consists of 3 exams (1/2 MC not open book, 1/2 short answer open book) and APLIA (worst part of the class, but not her fault). She will help you every step of the way. Take her!!

Took this class in Spring of 2017. Amazing professor; very caring and pleasant! Three tests: part 1 multiple choice (closed book) and part 2 stats problems (open book). A lot of homework, but if any was missed offers makeup. Stats is hard and dry, yet she made it seem enjoyable! She does offer extra credit just for doing a course evaluation.

Great professor who knows a lot about the material and does her best to keep it interesting, even though it's statistics. Test criteria is clear and she tells you what to study beforehand. Attendance is optional, but if you want to do well, SHOW UP and pay attention. Make sure you do all the online homework as well.

Shes a real sweetheart, makes pretty complicated topics simple and really cares about her students. I would 100% recommend taking her. She has three tests in which half of it is open book. Study her review questions and slides for the closed book part!! Take her !!!

Bethke is the best!! She made stats sooo easy. If you study the material its impossible to do bad. 80% of the grade is 3 tests and 20% online hw. The fill in part of the test is open book and really no excuse to not get full points. Online hw from department is tricky but as long as you get an 85% it's a 100 at the end. Highly recommend!!

great professor! It is obvious that she cares a lot about her class and puts in a lot of effort so that the material is clear and easy to understand. She wants her students to do well. Attendance is not mandatory but if u dont come to class the material gets complicated and confusing. Show up, study the slides and you will get an A.
