The material is what makes his class tough. He is a very laid back professor and it will require a lot of work on your part to get a good grade in his class. He sure gave me a run for my money and when I walked out of his final, I walked out with my head held high because I gave it everything I had. He challenged me and for that I am grateful. Take him if you want to not only learn Stats but learn the value of a grade.

I had this course for my GE and it's ridiculously easy. The homework is a bit hard but the test is so easy. Just listen what he said on the lecture and that will be on you exam!!!!Do all the homework and memorize all the quiz then you'll get a free A.He said he won't curve but at the end he curves a bit. He's also a great teacher and very concern with his student.

This is by far the worst professor I've had here. He does not care about students or learning and his TAs are both useless. He showed his true colors when he did not want us to ask him questions on how to do the extra credit, which seeing as how his TAs and himself absolutely fail when it comes to explaining something, no one will probably be able to do it. Stay away from this professor, he does not care about you and is only around to lower your GPA if you're a busy person.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS FROM 2012. He is such a fail of a professor. Both him and the TAs are not responsive to emails, lectures could be put together by a 15 year old, explains concepts for way too long, always gives long-winded stories about statistics in general that aren't helpful at all, and always feels the need to talk really loud at us during lecture. Maybe he thinks by him being louder, we will be more interested....? That's simply not the case.

He is simply the best professor on campus. take him if you can! You will enjoy his classes for sure.

Not good. Spends ridiculous amounts of time going on tangents about statistics in general and then skips right past everything that would be helpful for doing the problems. Took AP Stats in high school, so the material is not difficult, but he doesn't actually teach you how to do any of the things you are expected to do for homework/quiz problems. Not organized at all, and labs are unrelated and a waste of time.

This guy cares about his students.

In his lectures he sticks strictly to his elaborate powerpoint slides. He posts those online. I never looked them over before going to lecture so I never knew what the big paragraphs said because I was busy trying not to fall asleep.

Don't get me wrong, this guy knows what he is talking about and he will answer all your questions.

My personal opinion is that his lectures were not effective. My learning style might just not be compatible with his method of teaching.

Great class. You'll learn a lot.

I honestly don't understand how this professor is getting such high reviews. After four years of college, this is easily the worst class I have ever taken. I will say that he is easy, and if you put in effort you should easily be able to get an A, but everything about this class is frustrating and a huge waste of time. Despite doing well in the class I don't feel like I know anything more than I did before I took it.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Would not recommend.
Please don't take the class unless you have a background in statistics (such as AP stats). The way he goes over the material makes it more confusing than it should be. Also, the class has a ton of busy work (labs and articles) that don't add to helping you understand the material. If you do take the class, hope that you get a helpful TA that will break down the material and go over the useless labs and articles so that you don't lose points.

Generally, he is an OK lecturer. He definitely doesn't explain the material as well as he could... He usually reads off the slides, but doesn't explain much further or word things in a way that make it easier to understand. His exams are fair, the textbook is useless, and you basically need to study the quiz questions and why they are right to do well on the conceptual parts of the exams... The material itself is dry, uninteresting, and highly inapplicable to other classes or real life. Lectures are more or less required (clickers), but you will honestly spend more time on the articles, labs, and quizzes (which are all unrelated, useless, and equally as boring). Bottom line, this class is not hard, but it is a big time sink, and most likely 80% of your class isn't going to care much about it either.
