Reviews of professor Liberty Vittert

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Vittert's lectures were very interesting. I learned something new every class. She will occasionally lecture about required statistics topics but most of the time she emphasized the importance of statistical analysis through case studies. DAT120 is an easy class with a few quizzes and a large group project.

Pretty straight forward about what will be on exams, VERY easy grader if you show work. She is looking to give as much partial credit as possible. Shes looking to make stats accessible to everyone and will meet you where you are with math as long as you seek out help. Office hours are extremely helpful.

Professor Vittert is an incredible teacher. She makes you really care about your learning, and the class overall is not very difficult. While it may be easy to get an A, you will learn so much about data science and see the impact of your studies in the world.

Very easy and interesting class. The case studies we do in class are cool. Don't feel like I learned much about stats though...

Highly, highly, highly recommend. Incredibly personable, very nice, and excellent at not just explaining material but also making sure you understand why said material matters. Not sure if she's doing Dat120 again but whatever class she ends up teaching take it.

Professor Liberty is literally one of the best professors I have had at WashU. She was really supportive when my group had issues choosing our project topic. She is so understanding and honestly cares about her students' success. My advice is try to participate in class and take your group projects seriously!!

Incredibly easy class as long as you do the work. Liberty is a super cool person, goes through interesting case studies in class. Most of grade determined by weekly homework assignments and semester-long (group) data project. Beware if you want to actually learn statistics, this might not be the most rigorous/challenging/rewarding class for you.

A compelling and intriguing professor. Her lectures are interesting, but when investigating lecture content, it is lacking a lot of the actual statistical concepts or principles that often come with a stats class. I didn't take stats in high school, so I needed this aspect more than others. Overall a great professor, but I didn't learn too much.

Professor Vittert is a charismatic and inspiring figure, and her lectures are incredibly engaging - she really drills into your head the importance of data. I agree, however, that she doesn't teach much of the actual course content, which leaves you ill-prepared for DAT 121. Those without prior stats knowledge will struggle a bit with the quizzes.

Awesome teacher and really cool. Do case studies every class which are really interesting, and quiz material was incredibly easy if you took stat in high school.
