Prof. Kreuter is not that BEST statistics profesor, however she is really not that bad as some testimonials seem. She is very concerned about learning and enhancing the textbook with examples in class. The midterms were straight from the book and lecture and not that bad at all. The final was very easy in my opinion and she offered extra credit too. I think the class was graded on a straight scale but that's only because everyone does quite well. dr. Kreuter is recommended.

Personally, I don't see what the complaints about
Dr. Kreuter are. I found lectures to be funny and informative. Albeit I've only went to office hours once, that one time she was very helpful and informative w/ the problems I had. The accent is not that difficult to understand.

As for method of lecture, she is more in line w/ the "discovery" method. Unless absolutely neccessary, she'll try to have to figure out the answer first.

Overall the class is not that difficult. The book is straight forward; as are the progress tests/final. Make sure to do your homework.

I would recommend Dr. Kreuter for Statistics 10

The one good thing about this professor is that you can skip lectures and not feel bad about it because you'll know that you wouldn't understand anything even if you went to class. I think I only went to about half the lectures (mostly before midterms and finals) and still got an A. You just have to study from the book by yourself, go over the example problems, and check hw ansers w/ your TA. The tests were not too hard once you overcame kreuter's horrible way of phrasing the questions (takes about 10 minutes to comprehend what she's asking on some of those). Overall, if you have other options definately take another professor (Davis subbed for her for a few days and she was excellent) but if you're ok with learning pretty much everything on your own take Kreuter. Just stay on top of your hw and study hard for tests (which you can have a cheat sheet for) and you're guaranteed to do alright.

Her heavy accent is as annoying as it is difficult to understand ("wandomization"?), therefore attending class is useless. If you're willing to pour over the chapters and carefully do all the homework problems (be sure to check them with your TA before you hand them in) you can and will do alright in this class. However, in my opinion its not worth it for Stats 10- just take the class with a better professor.

The material is not very hard to understand, however, with Professor Kreuter's grading system it is VERY easy to receive a low grade on your homework or your midterm. A simple mistake can bring you down. She had a very hard time getting the information accross, her way of teaching is not very effective, most of the time I found myself reading and re-reading the chapter in order to understand what she was talking about. In the end I know I could have done better if I would have put a lot more effort, but basically it was not necessary to attend class, just as long as you understood the chapter, you were OK. Her tests are moderately easy, however, since she only puts around 4-5 problems in the test, you miss one....there goes your chance of getting an "A", you know? I guess I would recommend you take this class with another prof, but if you have no other option, she won't be too bad.
