I found the homework rather easy, but then Professor Giffen's quizzes and exams were extremely difficult. She always added a twist to the problems on the quizzes and tests, which always threw me off. Overall though, this class is pretty useful. The average on the second exam was only a 50% and she refused to curve any higher than a C-. Be prepared to spend a lot of time memorizing the uses of various distributions. She also awards very little partial credit for problems.
This professor is very knowledgable but hard. I had a tough time in this class because the material was difficult, the examples in the book were misleading, and some of the answers were incorrect. The midterms were really hard and the averages were very low. If you don't need to take this class, don't take it.
She's really enthusiastic about teaching, and she really knows what she's talking about. Sometimes she gets a little pressed for time in lecture, but she's really easy to talk to in office hours. If you can't go to her scheduled office hours, she's very willing to make special appointments with students, as well. I recommend taking her classes if you have the opportunity. Tests are tough but fair, and the curve will fill out nicely.
