Reviews of professor Laura Plunkett

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Class has been great. IMPORTANT: TAKE NOTES! Even if you think you understand the concept, the information can be a lot and it can be confusing. Rewrite the classwork & STUDY. I struggle with math but she made it easy to understand & her lectures are very interesting & concise. Accesible outside of class as well. 10/10 would take again.

Dr. Plunkett is in your corner. We had a crazy year with Covid-19 forcing us into an online situation. She set up weekly online office hours that you could either attend in person, or access online, as she recorderd each class. If you had questions, she was super responsive on email and then would address the items in her office hour sessions.

She made learning about stats super easy. Just as long as you watch her short videos and take great notes, you will understand how to do her tests and quizzes. Her teaching format is great and probably the best Ive ever had. In each lecture she has 3-5 short videos on how to do every single problem that is going to be on the hw and tests.

I adore Laura! She makes statistics easy to understand and even fun in some situations! She's very compassionate & respectful of all her students. Not to mention she's hilarious and wicked intelligent. I failed her class the first time but took her again. Beware: class gets more difficult later in the semester. She lets you know this on the 1st day

I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Plunkett during the Covid Pandemic in Spring 2020. She was able to switch her content to online work easily and she was fantastic about setting up virtual classes. This was my first foray into Statistics and she made it approachable, fun, relatable and possible. I wish I could take her again!

Her quizzes were fine but exams were unnecessarily hard. She grades very strictly on the exam. Plus there are entry tickets which include 1 question from the previous class and you are expected to turn them in the beginning 5 minutes of every class. If you are 5 mins late, your participation grade is affected and your course grade will go down.

The best online asynchronous class ever. Professor makes her course materials, uses a free HW platform, and is open to feedback. Office hours are excellent. She is willing to help and get to know students. I learned a lot about stats. Nice, caring, flexible, and helpful. Helped me become a better student. Would love to take her future classes.
