One of my FAVORITE professors here. She is passionate about her work and knows what she is talking about. It is clear she wants to help her students and wants to make our lives easier. She is very understanding, chill, and funny too! The material can be tedious, but the professor makes this course worth it. Participation is highly recommended

I was pleasantly surprised by this class. I think she's a great lecturer, she's clearly passionate about the topic, and she's very easy to talk to. Yes, there are 6 assignments spread out through the quarter but they aren't difficult and there are no midterms or finals. (Everything is chat-gptable too, but you didnt hear that from me lol)

Class was doable but the professor clearly didn't know what she was talking about, leaving the whole class confused every lecture. She had to be corrected by the TA several times and then would crash out every time because she didn't want to be wrong. Also her lectures are rambling sessions and extremely boring. Unnecessarily heavy work load.

Professor Taylor was a great professor. Her lectures were clear and easy to follow. There were seven (time consuming but easy) assignments and the expectations were made clear. Feedback was helpful and if you follow it you should improve. Lots of reading and weekly quizzes but the guiding questions are really helpful if you look over them.

Professor Taylor knows the work she assigns is extremely stress inducing and UNREASONABLE but she does not care. She loves to hear herself talk, gives extremely boring lectures, 1 assignment a week that takes hours. Before even being done with an assignment she'll start talking about the next one. Leaving all students confused and stressed.

Fall 2021. I was nervous bc we use STATA which is statistical software but Taylor made STATA fun and interesting. She is passionate about statistics and it is easy to follow along with her lectures, very organized and engages students to participate in class. Quizzes online each week were easy. The assignments were not bad especially with TA help
