She taught me Introduction to Statistics. For an introductory (literally a first year) course, it was as if she expected everyone to already have knowledge of the course material. She hardly taught during the sessions, and would refer us back to her recorded YouTube videos instead of just answering a simple question. It’s unwise to go to her sessions without having read the day’s topic material or having watched the recording. Her class sessions are more about practicing how to use formulas rather than the rationale. Do not miss a class or tutorial session, this is one of those courses where you have to be physically present and see the working out for yourself if possible. She’s a good lecturer and she provides the information, though not in the way most students are used to.
