Reviews of professor Victoria Ellison

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This class is really fair. You should see the distribution of the final, a lot of people did well! (unless there was cheating). Anyway, it seemed like pub pol kids like to complain, but the class really is nicely taught.

Nice professor but class is ridiculously time consuming. Lots of work and it's a flipped class so you will be spending a lot of time outside of class teaching yourself the material. Lecture really doesn't help much. 90% of the class is revolved around group work as well. Would NOT recommend.

This class wasn't horrible, but I felt as if Ms. Ellison did not give us enough time to prepare for our speeches. If your amazing at speaking in front of strangers you'll be fine. I just think she needs to be a little more understanding that not everyone is comfortable with public speaking, and she could have made the class a little more fun.

Dr. Ellison did a fantastic job. I think a lot of people are frustrated by the flipped class, but the Professor is not to blame for that. In fact, Dr. Ellison answered many questions on Piazza all in great depth (hundreds of questions). She was readily available outside of class, communicated effectively, and the tests were not hard. Just study.

Horrible. I also took AP Stats last year so the material itself wasn't too difficult, but succeeding in the class is very difficult. She is not a clear lecturer, does not provide much help, and her exams are nothing like the review she gives. The exams are also way too long (no one finishes on time) and include problems which were never addressed.

Dr. Ellison doesn't deserve the bad reviews she gets. The class isn't super easy, but if you put in the work you'll make an A. She gives her students every opportunity to make an A, and she is very accessible outside of class. The problem sets are longer than the syllabus says, though, so be ready to spend a lot of time on those.

I took AP stats so the material wasn't difficult for me. It would have been super difficult if I was trying to learn it for the first time with her tho. She just has no authority whatsoever. It's actually embarrassing to watch. She speaks like a 2nd grader and laughs after everything she says. Hard to learn from and impossible to respect.

I came back to leave a comment specifically because of all the negative ones I read before taking her class. I won't lie and say it was super easy, but Ellison is an angel. She's the most understanding professor I've ever had, and she's eager to help students understand the material. Stats can suck, but she doesn't deserve the criticism she gets.
