She's super kind and she's always happy to help. There is a lot of homework and her lectures cover lots of content really fast, but she teaches it very well given the short amount of time. Despite all that homework, it's a pretty easy class.

Jager is a great lecturer. She’s clear and concise and the fill in the blank style is really nice. There’s no final which was great but the final project was annoying if you don’t have great partners. The exams are pretty easy but annoying because there’s not a lot of questions so 1 question is worth a lot. The homework’s took up the most time for me since it’s all textbook problems but you can easily find answers online. Be careful though because they grade homework on accuracy.

A super easy class if you took AP Stats in high school. Jager is a great teacher and makes everything so clear and understandable. All the notes in class are fill in the blank so it's super easy to follow along. There's weekly homework but it's pretty manageable.

Icon. Learned more from her two classes than from the rest of the math department put together - wish the school had more professors like her!

Super kind, breaks down the concepts really well. Pretty easy A in my opinion, just keep up with the homework and the tests'll be fine.

Dr. Jager possesses every quality you would want in a professor. Her lectures are clear and concise, her expectations for the class/assignments are laid out clearly, her exams and grading policies are more than reasonable, and she's an overall kind and caring person.

Jager is an absolute GEM. I had never taken stats before so was a little nervous for this course. She is gives exceptional lectures and is one of the best professors at explaining information in a digestible way. Even though I am not a stats major, I would 100% take another course just to have her as a professor again.

Best professor on campus. Def take her 2200 before taking 3200. The lectures are explained detailed and easy to understand, the hw are helpful. The final project is so easy can literally finish it in 1 hour.

The best teacher ever, and nothing to complain about. Just follow and listen to her class, and she will make your life easier. I wish she could teach more of my stats classes.

Definitely the best STEM professor I have had here at WashU so far. Though it is hard to point out a single highlight, she does just about everything you should expect from a great professor. Her lectures are perfectly clear, the exams are fair, and she is very helpful. I had a great experience and would strongly recommend taking a class of hers.

Dr. Jager is the standard. Crystal clear lectures with guided notes. Exams were overall straightforward. The final is a group project that should be relatively easy to complete and do well on. Respects the students and never talks down to them.

Just amazing idk what else to say. First math class I've enjoyed in a really long time and it ended up probably being my favorite class of the semester. I love you Abigail Jager

You can clearly tell she really knows her material and loves teaching. My biggest criticisms are sometimes it feels like we would learn a very theoretical concept and then go straight into challenging applications of that theory. Also, I wish we had more practice problems or some sort of a study guide for the exams.

Tests are 70% of the grade but are much easier than in class problems, and similar or easier than HW problems. Content slowly goes from a 2/10 to 8/10 in difficulty, but she is always eager to explain things and help. Weekly problem sets that take 1-7 hours. 60 minutes of required videos per week. I would take this class again if she is teaching

One of the best lecturers in the math department. Explains concepts extremely clearly and cares about the success of her students. Would highly recommend.

Amazing professor! I really liked that professor Jager included examples after to teaches a concept. Really helps to fully understand new ideas. If you need a math course this is the one!

Had a great experience w/ 1011! Easy enough class, especially for non-STEM majors. Office hours were incredibly helpful and she was very understanding. She records every lecture, so you're only required to go for in-class activities. I would recommend the class to everyone.

Professor Jager is the BEST math professor i've ever had! Maybe even best professor ever. She cares a lot about her students and their wellbeing. If you are confused with anything in the class, just go to her office hours she will make sure you understand all the material before you leave. I also love how organized her class is!! She's amazing!

Jager has been one of the best professors I've had at WashU. She delivers clear lectures, and always posts review for the exam. I personally liked her teaching style of having fill-in notes. It is a sort of grindy class with 3 midterms, daily hw and quizzes, and a final project, but you can definitely succeed in this class.

Prof. Jager is the best math professor I encounter at WashU. She gives good lectures and is very accessible outside of class. The workload for this class is very manageable. Exams are also not difficult. Definitely deserves a 5 star.

Jager is pretty much all you could want from an introductory stats teacher. She explains concepts clearly. In-person lecture attendance is optional, and you'll do great with a combo of recorded lectures on Zoom and reading the textbook. An easy class but definitely not a blow off class.

Professor Jager teaches a great class. 3211 is a lot of material by nature and it can get overwhelming. She was very helpful and accessible after class, during office hours, etc for any questions. Exams were allowed a cheat sheet of formulas. Definitely would take it again, one of the coolest stats professors in the department!
1/22/2023
(I took 3211 not 3200)nJager was super helpful, grades were mostly based on exams but if you kept up with the notes and homework you'll be fine.

Very easy basic stats class. Starts from the basics so everyone can follow. So streamlined and clear, you always know what the expectation is.

Dr. Jager's lecture is amazing!! She is definitely a gem at WashU. Try to go as many in-person classes as you can (although I barely went and thus got an A-). It is not easy to earn an A in MAT 3200 and you have to do some extra questions if you want to earn an A.
12/27/2022
Absolutely a gem, you can tell she cares about you and you doing well in the class. She will take time to help you even outside her office hours. She is very helpful and answers any questions you may have about the material.

Dr. Jager is enthusiastic about teaching statistics and is a genuine person. Her caring demeanor makes going to lecture worth it. She answers questions with a smile and makes sure you walk away with a solid understanding of the answer. 2200 has some work outside of lectures but as long as you're willing to put in effort, it's very easy to get an A.

Jager has only 5 star reviews on RMP and rightfully so. On the first day, she shares an online link to the textbook so everyone can access it for free. All of her lectures are clear on every topic and she is very accessible inside and outside of the classroom. 2200 is a very easy class for anyone that is mathminded or not and I recommend it highly!

She's super sweet, incredibly easy to understand, very clear in her explanations. Maybe the best STEM teacher I've ever had.
4/28/2022
I had already taken Stats so the class was not difficult, but my AP score was a 4 so it wasn't accepted. Overall she has been one of my favorites so far (I'm a Fr.), lots of enthusiasm, reminds me some one you wish was your mom. She is open outside of class and responds to emails well. First exam is mean median and mode so not much studying needed.

I love Professor Jager! She is one of the kindest people I've met and is great at explaining concepts. The notes are given to you ahead of class so you can print them out and fill in the blanks. This made it so easy to learn the material. She always uses super clear examples and there are no trick questions on any of the exams.
12/24/2021
Loved her! Super smart and inspiring. Her lectures were so clear and straightforward and they were posted on canvas every day in case you couldn't make it to class. Tons of points in the gradebook, so you can still make a good grade even if you mess up an exam. Super nice woman overall and very helpful to everyone!

Professor Jager is amazing! She is super nice, cares about her students, is always available to answer questions and help, and teaches with real examples and explanations rather than abstract mathematical theory. She wants all her students to succeed.
12/22/2021
Professor Jager is such a great professor. She is so nice, super caring, and explains the material so well. She explains things so thoroughly (sometimes too thoroughly!) and makes the material easy to understand.
12/9/2021
Prof. Jager is great! She makes clear, helpful, and interesting lecture videos. After taking Math 3200, I really want to change my major to statistics or math. A lot of that has to do with Professor Jager and Noroozi. Thank you!

One of the nicest professors I've ever had, Prof. Jager cares more about her students understanding concepts than any other professor. She uses real-life examples that make understanding the concepts feel useful. The three exams were very easy and the homework is easy as well, just learn the information. Very easy intro class overall.
5/11/2021
Everything you would want in a math teacher, in my opinion. Extremely clear lectures that make note taking a breeze. Teaches concepts in a consistent manner, so you can see the similarities between different units. Also teaches in a way where you can easily apply concepts to homework and exam problems. Very kind and accessible outside of class too.

Abby has the most amazingly structured classes I have ever taken! The fill in lecture notes are really thorough (but get right to the point) and easy to follow. Expectations are clear in this class, she sets you up to learn the material well which makes for no surprises. And she's incredibly friendly and accessible! This class made stats enjoyable.

She's amazing and so so nice. She is super responsive to emails and one of my favorite professors at Washu. She really cares and wants to see her students succeed!
