Reviews of professor Liberty Vittert

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The in-class case studies are her just mostly flexing her accomplishments (deservedly so), and she has a great sense of humor. You won't learn anything ground breaking, but it is a solid intro class. There is a group project element which can eat up time out of class. Attendance is tracked and graded, so stay on top of that.

One of my favorite professors at WashU. Prof Vittert's lectures were very interesting and engaging. She was helpful and understating with the final group project. She made me more interested in stats, and she always gave real world examples that helped me understand the material better.

1. You can't learn a lot from this class, but you could learn from Prof. Vittert how to think deeply about a fact by using stats knowledge (e.g., is it misleading).
2. She didn't teach technical stats knowledge. You should learn literally almost all by yourself. She didn't teach the knowledge that is tested on quizzes.
3. grading is not systematic.

DAT 20 is such a stupid class since all you learn are the very basics of statistics that 99% of WashU students already learned in high school. However, Vittert makes up for how mundane this course is with her very entertaining lectures, which mostly cover engaging case studies. Quizzes are online, final project is easy, take this class w Vittert.
