Plain and simple, out of the other stats 10 professors, ioudina is the hardest. If you're stuck with her, you're screwed. Her tests are harder and her lectures are hard to follow partly due to her thick accent. Of course, there is no reason for you to try hard and get the A, but you're going to have to just that: try hard. On the bright side she is very nice. If you think there was a discrepancy in your test grade, you can go and argue your case and she'll give you a couple of points. The labs were also pretty easy, but that probably depends on your TA.

Just terrible. Let's first start out by saying she does not curve the class. Doesn't make much sense for a math type class to just grade based on a straight grading scale. It's not like she makes her tests so that many people can get high scores either. Basically, you should be expecting only a handful of people to get a good grade in this class. As if that isn't enough, she isn't the best teacher around. Her lectures seem not fully prepared and the rate that she tries to move each lesson makes it very hard to keep up for the average guy. And the biggest reason she is terrible would be because she doesn't care about the success of her students. When I went to office hours to get some clarification on a subject, she pretty much dismissed me and told me to look in my notes. That's not how office hours should work. Avoid at any costs. I got my lowest grade ever in UCLA with this class, and I retook the class with Professor Christou and received an A. Christou lectured in a very clear manner and taught all the essentials while leaving out less important subjects that Ioudina tried to teach.
