Prof. Muntz is one guy who's teaching you should avoid at all costs. His lectures are bad in three ways: first, he gets confused frequently while explaining the topic, which sends every student's already slim hopes of understanding anything down the drain. Next, his presentation slides.. They are very cryptic and unorganized (and ungodly looking). Third, he has bad writing (though he admits it) and uses some kinky notation to explain advanced statistical concepts - and the notation is DIFFERENT FROM ONE ON SLIDES AND FROM ONE IN THE TEXTBOOK(s)! Overall, I deeply regret taking Muntz for 112. Even though the course is statistics-based and I did extremely well in STATS 110A, I had to drop to avoid getting an "F" in that class.

Not very good at explaining things. He can make simple ideas almost impossible to understand by burying meaning below loads of unnecessary symbols. Highly recommend any alternatives. This class is 10% homework, 40% midterm, and 50% final, and the final is much harder than the rest of the class, so you are probably fucked if you get sick during finals week.
