Her lecture slides were ripped off of 3 separate textbooks, each of which, better explain the material in less time not to mention her exams/homework covering material not even in her slides.
Professor Chronopoulou was new to UIUC this semester & it was an absolutely great experience. She was great at explaining lectures & was a very fair grader. She was very helpful during office hours. I would definitely take a class with her again.
Chronopoulou is a wonderful teacher. Listening to her Greek accent made it easier to pay attention also. The midterm was just like the homework and the final project is very easy if you give a decent amount of effort and attend office hours.
Interesting class, good professor. I suggest you take this course with her.
Very boring lectures. Very unclear explanations. Hard tests. Don't know how I got a B.
She is very kind, she explains things until everyone gets it. There are weekly classroom and lab sections, quite easy to do. If you don't want to stress over stats, take this class with her.
Liked this prof a lot. Easy class, fair midterms, interesting examples.
I felt that this professor was very fair. There were four quizzes, each worth 15% of your grade, and a final worth 30%. As long as you go to class and participate by answering clicker questions, she will make your lowest quiz score worth only 10% of your grade. There was a pretty generous curve in the end. Go to section and CLAS!!
There will be iclickers, so lecture are for the most part, mandatory. I went & don't pay attention to the lectures; I just studied from the book and practice problems (do these!) she posts online. I only review for the midterm/final the day before. Go to CLAS for a better understanding of concepts. Lectures/sections don't really help.
Lectures are incredibly boring and professor does a poor job of explaining concepts. I was only successful because I studied a huge amount from the textbook and just hoped that the quizzes and final were similar.
I dont know why her rating is so low... this professor has a bit of an accent but is clear in her teaching. the concepts are easy to grasp and she gets the point across fine. also just do examples in the book and you should pass with at least a high B.
One major problem of her teaching is that she teaches a new topic that's related to the previous topic (which is almost all the time), expecting that the class fully understands what she taught before. She goes on her own tangent from the book and makes major errors throughout the entire practice problem solution sheets.
