I'm not a math/stats person but this ended up being one of my favorite classes. He's super nice and down to earth, and it's clear that his main goal is to make sure everyone understands the material. There's hw every week but it's mostly previous exam questions which is actually really helpful, and in discussions my TA went through it with usRate My Professors ↗

class was way more interesting than i expected but was still kind of boring. he tries to make it interesting and is willing to help you after class. why do you ask if he is hot? that seems weird. anyway i would take him again.Rate My Professors ↗

He was the worst professor I've ever had. His class is the only class I have every gotten a C in. I went in for help early on and he told me there was nothing he could do for meRate My Professors ↗

Extremely nice and approachable guy. Makes stats as painless as it can be. My TA was terrible, but he's willing to help and is reasonable regarding grading. Weekly homework, but he uses old exam questions, so you have a really good idea of what he expects on exams. I hate stats, but he's one of my favorite professors I've had.Rate My Professors ↗
Quality 4/5Difficulty 2/5
Really nice guy and always willing to help. Goes very slow in class, only hard part is to keep yourself to pay attention. Just be sure to review homework and practice exams. If you understand those problems the test is a breeze.Rate My Professors ↗
