He is a very accessible and friendly professor. We had clickers and he was always disappointed even when 99% of the class would get the answer right because he knew at least one person did not understand the material. He really cares about his students and wants everyone to understand Stats. If you need to take a Stats classes, make sure you take it with him. Ps Eric Fox is an awesome TA
The best professor I've had so far. I feel he is everywhere whenever u needed help. As long as you asked him, he is happy to answer every question. And the lecture is very clear and organized. Plus, he would check your final for you!!!!!!!! what professor would do that??????????? Take HIM, you won't be regretted!!!!
I disagree with the poster below. The lab exams were not difficult - if you were able to complete the weekly lab assignments, the exams should've been quite easy. However, I do think that the TAs were a bit picky when it came to grading.
The midterms weren't too bad. If you go over his lecture slides and read the book thoroughly, you should be fine. The final, however, was a bit brutal. The multiple-choice questions were decent, but the free-response section was tedious and quite lengthy.
He is a very nice professor! His two lab exams are just tedious and insane. I really dislike the lab exams because the TAs are pretty harsh at grading it. Nice professor but definitely not easy because he doesn't curve at all.
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.
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.
