Great professor! Don't miss lecture

DO NOT TAKE HER!!!! take professor weber! hes so much better and actually cares about his students. you wont pass her class, but you'll definitely pass his!

Good luck if you have her.

I have no words other than horrible. Shes the worst professor ive had here at UCSB. Doesn't have any moral code or compass. 3 tests determine entire grade and doesn't drop the lowest score.

Very tough class... 75% of your grade depends on the three exams you take throughout the quarter. However, there is lots of material to cover and it goes by quickly. This is a conceptually heavy class and it helps to prepare in advance. The fact that you only get 50 minutes for each test also doesn't help, as you have no time to go back and review

overall a very good lecturer. in my opinion, in order to succeed in this class, you need to be ready to give it your all. material was a bit difficult at times, but professor and TAs are very accessible and helpful. you can tell she really wants everyone to do well.

Prof. Metzger is an amazing lecturer. Her lectures are clear and organized. However, the 3 exams are worth 75% of the grade. She gives you the option to retake one of the two midterms but the retakes are even harder and she doesn't let you drop the lowest grade. Homework is easy but it's nothing compared to midterm content.

I am not a math person but I really enjoyed this class. Metzger gave lots of clear, real-life examples for every chapter. I learned a lot from her and the textbook. If you read the textbook, attend lectures, and do the homework problems, you will be good!

Doesn't know how to teach or respect her students. Got frustrated when they didn't understand her awful explanations and constantly contradicted herself when teaching. Also made the tests unnecessarily difficult and they rely heavily on your grade. 25% for two midterms and a final she ill prepares your for. Do not recommend. Overall disrespectful.

She makes you feel dumb. What should be an easy introduction to statistics is made to be hard and confusing. She constantly contradicts herself and barely explains what youre actually learning. She talks down to her students and makes her class test dependent, so if youre not a good test taker, do not take her course. Nothing good to say about her.

I was nervous going into the statistics class but Metzger cares about students' education and makes every effort to prove it. She is a clear lecturer who makes herself available outside of class (even holds extra office hours before exams) and is extremely responsive to student concerns. Tests are fair, with study guides posted before each one.

she makes the tests weigh more which is bad If you're bad at taking tests
