Reviews of professor Snigdha Panigrahi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Not an organized teacher. Not quite approachable either. I am steering clear of her in the future.

Utterly incompetent. The class isn't that hard if you've taken stats before but she overcomplicates everything. Lectures are boring but they include specific details that she won't put in the notes or anywhere else so don't skip too much. She answers questions with "Why should I know" and blames bad grades on the GSI's (who are actually helpful!)

I took STATS280 in my 1st year at UMich, Fall 2018, and this class was the BANE of my existence. The lectures are all over the place--she goes through hard parts way too fast and many students are left confused about what they're confused about. Quizzes and exams are insane, each question is worth way too many points. 1 wrong and your grade dies.

Not a great lecturer, the course was not organized as well. A great individual, but not a good professor.

Prof. Panigrahi isn't necessarily a *bad* professor, but she didn't really ignite any passion for statistics. Her lectures are boring and tedious to get through, but crucial since there's little other material she provides. If you've taken AP Stats and are already passionate about statistics, it'll be an easy A. Otherwise, I can't recommend it.

Went into this class excited about taking stats, if I ever see one more of her questions again in my life it will be too soon. Her lectures are too brief & are bland, there is very little overlap between the textbook and the lectures. Quizzes and exams make no sense & cover small details that aren't relevant. She's mean 2 students & looks 10 beware
