No final, 3 exams. Study guides are really really helpful; go over them and you should be fine. Her slides are outlined really well and she ensures the class in understanding. Lots of examples to really get a grip on the theoretical stuff. Not a lot of actual math, just a lot of concepts. Reader was available for free as a PDF on GauchoSpace.

This was honestly the easiest class I've ever taken in my entire life. The material is very simple, and she goes over everything in extreme detail which it makes it even easier. She gives great study guides for the tests--if you know everything on the study guide you will get an A. No final, but the chance to retake a midterm instead.

OMG I LOVE her. Her slides are outlined perfectly BUT this class does require you to read and put in extra work. The textbook is extremely helpful! Shes super sweet but speaks in a low voice. DO the homework because that keeps you up to date. Her exams are STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, not like Mullin at all! Which is good...

DO NOT TAKE COMM 87 WIH METZGER, YOU WILL REGRET IT. Opt for Weber, or another. I paid attention in every lecture, section, and read, and it was still confusing. Got a D with her, retook it with another professor and got a dramatically better grade and actually learned. Save yourself, and your GPA.

If you have the option to take this class with ANY other professor, do so. Her lectures are useless, and her TA (Powers) is just as clueless as she is. I was constantly lost, even when attending lectures and reading the book. Her lectures and tests were impossible to comprehend, and full of mistakes.

Really helpful and organized professor, her lectures are easy to follow and makes concepts easy to understand. Definitely recommend her! Readings are about 15 pages or so a week, with weekly assignments. The textbook helps a lot. There are three tests, you're allowed one retake.

Easiest math class you will ever take. She makes it so easy for us communication majors, as long as you do the homework every week and study for the exams, it's a really easy class. There are three exams and the final one is the week before finals, and the day of the scheduled final she lets you retake one of the three exams if you want.

Really helpful professor and helpful TAs. The class is definitely not easy, but they try to explain everything in simpler terms. As long as you go to all of the lectures and sections and read the book, you can get an A.

i am retaking this class i am absolutely hate this class! she lies ans says the class is easy. the test are 40 questions, 4 vocab, a few fill in, and short answer.. its too much for fifty minutes. she explains the harder stuff super fast to fit it into one lecture.. try and take it with somone else or if for a GE take something else like geol 20..

Metzger is super helpful and really easy to understand. Definitely a good professor to take classes with!

She is awesome. I hated the idea of statistics, but she made it soooo easy! It was great! The tests aren't too bad if you study and know the concepts, and Metzger's lectures really help you understand everything! I LOVE THIS WOMAN!

she was a good lecturer and nice. Terminology and concepts she taught weren't that hard to grasp. man i took this class back in the day, when i was a freshman. time goes by quick.

Material seems simple enough in class... but tests are very difficult. 3 midterms no final, but on the date of the final you have the option to retake a midterm which is nice. Tons of confusing terminology to memorize, but concepts aren't too hard. If you're a comm major you have to take this class... if you're not comm, stay away from it.

very clear and uses relevant and somewhat interesting examples. if you take notes and pay attention you should do fine. homework each week for section/lab but totally easy. i dont like math and was dreading this class but it ended up being one of my favorites! she goes slow enough so you can understand fully but not ridiculously slow.

Her overheads are everything you'll ever need to know, so go to class or copy the notes. The class goes slow sometimes bc she explains the obvious but it is not bad at all.

Homework is easy, tests are nothing like hw. She is boring and annoying. Uses overhead and not powerpoint, difficult to see and pay attention.

three tests, and you can make one up at the end (in place of a final). The tests are totally tolerable as long as you go to every class and do the reading ahead of time. GO TO SECTION! It isn't worth much, but it can make or break your grade. Metzger is easy to understand and is very nice, makes lecture go quickly.

Her lectures are somewhat boring, but she's a nice person. However, her tests were very difficult & often tricky. I recommend that you take another stats class if you can & avoid this one.

She explains things very clearly. Concepts are reviewed in both lecture and section so its hard to not understand. She has a seriousness of purpose.

I liked this class a fair amount. The material was really nailed into our heads. I never felt lost or confused because everything we learned was reviewed 3 times. It's still a difficult class, but if you like math, then it is somewhat interesting

take pstat instead...this class was incredibly boring, the lectures made it seem pretty straightforward but the tests were MUCH MUCH harder...luckily the class curves really high & i was able to get a B+ with miminal effort

Great professor. She makes the info super easy to understand and she is just a nice person all together. I hated the subject but Prof. Metzger made it interesting and simple.

i ****ing hate this class
