He is not very good at lecturing, they are very monotonous and not engaging at all. He can also be very rude and gets irritated over the smallest things. The midterm was nothing like the practice, with way too many questions and not enough time to finish.Rate My Professors ↗
Hw is way too muchRate My Professors ↗
Just finished up the semester with him and he's the goat honestly! All his lectures were easy to follow along with. He does lecture from notes/slides but he elaborates and makes things clearer. He also works through examples which is nice. I will say it may be a lot of information to process so make sure to do honest work!Rate My Professors ↗
Bloss acts nice in person by telling jokes and giving out prizes during lecture, but the actual material is taught at an incredibly monotonous pace and doesn't explain concepts thoroughly. HW is long, tedious and doesn't help at all w/ overall understanding of material. Final was extremely difficult (52% median) and curve wasn't much help at all.Rate My Professors ↗
I thought he was a pretty chill guy, and the lectures were fine- he was just kind of held back by the early time slot. It's hard to pay attention already if you don't care about stats, so trying to do this tired is a bit challenging. His study guides are helpful. Don't be intimidated by the coding part, it's just basics (I've never coded before).Rate My Professors ↗
Maybe I just hate math, but I despised this class. Lectures were tedious and boring, you had to learn how to use R outside of class to use on the homework and then you don't get to use it on the exams, the homework is long and the exams are hard.Rate My Professors ↗
