Reviews of professor Prabhashi Withana Gamage

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The homeworks are your best friend, they can tell you where you went wrong and great for practice, but the homework problems don't correlate with exams at all so good luck! Her accent is a little difficult to understand, but she does mean well and will gladly answer questions too. Communicate with her!! If you miss class, you're behind.

every time I think about this class I have mixed emotions, those emotions being craving death, wanting to cry, intense anger. I have a migraine right now from typing about it.

I only put wouldn't take it again because online classes just aren't for me. As far as online classes I've taken, she's pretty good. You get extra credit for showing up to class and answering polls, and there are sometimes graded group assignments in class. If you're into online classes, she's a good choice, if not, go for someone else.

This prof genuinely fills me with rage, how she is allowed to teach STATS when she doesn't clarify jack, and will throw answers at you with little explanation, or how she got a number inside of a problem without explaining where it comes from.  I genuinely dread walking to this class every day, the whole stats department needs an overhaul.

Professor Gamage is a nice woman but I found her instruction to be fairly poor. Her online lectures can be confusing and hard to understand, resulting in almost always having to teach myself the material. You can tell she genuinely wants you to succeed, but if you take this class you'll end up having to teach yourself the course.

She lectured most of the class and had us print out note packets and fill them. There was occasional group work/R assignments, start early on them to be safe. Quizzes were online and never really too difficult. 2 midterms and a final (with formula sheets) which weren't too bad as long as you study early. Super nice prof who was always helpful.

Bad notes that don't explain how to do the work, instead she tries to do that herself, poorly.
She only assigns two homework assignments that don't cover everything you need to know, so you're basically screwed for the 2 quizzes and tests.
At the end is a group project and paper, which she gets mad at you for if you do poorly on.

She gets a lot of hate, but I loved her. I hate math A LOT and I ended the class with a B. The group work helps a lot and she is always ready to answer any questions you have. She answers email quickly and she is a really nice lady. SPSS is hard but she helps you with it by showing you how to do it in class and also posts helpful tips on canvas.

Cumulative final so be sure to go over past concepts. She wants her students to succeed and her office hours were really helpful! Stats is hard but Dr. G is very nice and is also generous with her grades since she curved our final by 10 points and had some extra credit!
