He was my TA for STAT324. Talks about personal life, things we haven't learned yet and more pointless things. Avoid this guy.

After attending lecture for the first part of the semester I received a B on the first "easiest" exam. From then on I never went to class and chose to teach myself. After getting an A on the second "harder" exam, I realized lecture truly does just make you more confused and puzzled. Tests are easy. Material isn't hard. HW graded for completion.

Statistics is not a fun class to go to but this prof. makes it worse. Average class size is 110 but average attendance is about 16 with a standard deviation of 1 after omitting outliers as in when there are exams. He does not help at all and speaks faster than you can write. He erases the problems he is working on as well. Avoid if possible.

While I agree that his tests are easy and closely follow the practice exams, his lecture is completely useless. Expect to teach yourself completely from the book. His lecture of 115 students had 17 people in it today. This is normal. Good luck.
