Ok, those giving him harsh reviews need to calm down. This professor is awesome! This was probably the 1st statistics class I've had where the professor did NOT have a thick accent. I don't mind accents, but I never could make out what the other professors were saying. I love professor Gould! Take him!

Professor Gould generally appears not to know what he is talking about if it deviates from his lecture plan; doesn't appear to communicate well with the TAs (i.e. doesn't know about where missing homeworks are or that they even went missing). He tries very hard, but never answers questions directly in class. I ask "How does this work?" or for further explanation, and his replies usually stem from "we'll discuss it later in lecture" but it never happens. The homework is very difficult and seems to have nothing to do with the exams. The homework is graded very nit-picky and is very problem-solving based. However the midterm exam was all theoretical and interpretation. There never is a clear standard given for correct interpretation, and everybody is always getting points marked off for having incorrect interpretations. The labs are easy, and the TAs help you through it.

Stats 112 is a joke. Its basically the same concepts in elementary statistics except with "sociological" examples.
