Reviews of professor Farzana Choudhury

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
HP340 is thankfully a pretty easy course if you've taken any type of statistics, but the professor is not good at lecturing. I basically had to teach myself all the material and she doesn't really give you any kind of practice problems. The pros of this course are that there's minimal homework and she doesn't really care about attendance.

Dr. Choudhury is super chill & willing to answer any questions you have. I don't know why there are some other ratings that are lower because Dr. Choudhury is a GOAT. We get a cheat sheet on midterms & finals, and the content is pretty self-explanatory. I had never taken stats before, and this class was still one of my easier ones.

Flipped lecture style where you watch videos before class and take a quiz but then you're taught the same thing in class so it seems counterintuitive. I didn't feel well prepared to do weekly homework assignments and had to look it up online. Not very accommodating via email and office hours. Hard if you haven't taken stats before but still doable.

She seems very caring but it's kind of an act. She sat us down and told us to reach out if we want to talk and then did not respond to those who did: she wants to be viewed as a savior but doesn't want to work to be one. Also, there's only one midterm and one final that your grade depends on, but they're easy. Not an easy A, but not very hard.

You do NOT need the textbook and don't even really need to attend lecture that often because everything you need to know is in the powerpoint slides. Stats is a really boring subject in general, but she is super kind and gives a TON of extra credit. If you do the homework and actually understand the problems, you will be fine.

This class is graded easy and has a really good curve I got B's on midterm and final and averaged probably a low B on the HW somehow got an A- in the class. She's very sweet, the lectures are boring but an attendance sheet is passed around during class worth 5% of grade. Some didn't even buy the book but it helped me a lot on HW and studying

possibly one of the worst professors Ive ever had. They are constantly preaching on how accessible they are to students however cancelled office hours second week of classes and never replied to emails. Taught myself and barely passed. Never had such a horrible and useless professor.

Dr. Choudhury is the best! She's one of the most genuine professors I've had at USC and I always felt like she was there if I needed help with anything at all. The class can get a little dry but her compassion and sense of humor made it worth attending lecture - would highly recommend!!

Very easy class. Aunty (as we call her) gives easy weekly quiz, easy homework, and one midterm and one final (both of which have extra credit and are easy). And she gives more extra credit during the sem. Easiest A in a class
