Reviews of professor Esther Kim

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Make sure you just show up to class and participate. (She gives extra credit to those who showed up to every class and did the homework). Really easy class assignments.

she does not know how to use stat-crunch, which is used for 90% of the course. I get that it's her first time teaching stats, but she should have at least cut us some slack and made it easier to get an A. Does not know the material herself

Shes as if you hired an actress, gave them a script to memorize and told them to teach off that. When you ask questions, she just repeats what she previously said without elaborating or explaining further in a different way. Questions are welcome if all you want is for her to repeat the question back to you. Hated this class, do NOT recommend.

Borinngggggg. I couldnt listen to her talk for more then 10min. Her lectures are completely different from the homework. I think she is new and hasnt figured out a method to teach.

Sweet, relaxed, and a great teacher. lectures are clear, always open to questions. Stats can be confusing, you need a patient teacher like her. Beware that every single assignment plays a key role in your grade. don't miss a class, or you risk missing group work. Uses an online program as an aid that is very helpful in practice. Take her!

This class felt hard for a stats class. 3 midterms, 1 final, online HW for practice, quizzes and group work. tests were weighted heavily so they counted more towards your grade. Esther seemed inexperienced but wanted to help and make sure her students did well. Do the HW problems to prepare for the quizzes and exams and that should help

She is amazing. Her lectures are clear, well organized, and exactly as her exams. If you are ready to study, to do homework, you can have an A. She gives extra question in every exam, so you can have more than 100% every exam.

Professor Kim is great. She seems a bit lost herself sometimes but she knows what she is talking about. Her class is difficult but that is because the subject itself (Statistics) isn't easy. I managed to pass with an A because I spent hours and hours studying, it is doable if you put in the time and effort. 4 group projects, 4 unit exams, 1 final.
