About this rating

Raw average: 5.00/5 from 2 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Very best statistics professor I've ever had. Able to make complex statistical stuff clear and easy to understand. Grade based on 3 midterms, and gives opportunity for re-do the paper to earn extra credits.
