Not specific at all. You ask for help and he just says you did it wrong. Doesn't explain anything. Practice tests weren't like the real test.Rate My Professors ↗

This is/was an online course, and I loved it. I was fine going at my own pace, and learning by myself. There's a discussion section, but it's not required and I honestly didn't find it useful. Wardrop was flexible with exam times and for when I needed to arrange a meeting. Homework was graded on completion which is nice, but remember to read key.Rate My Professors ↗

This class wasn't as bad as it looks. His Course Notes seem long but they're funny to read. To be honest the exams were a joke. All you need to do is look at the practice exams and nothing else. Do homework only for completion.Rate My Professors ↗

This course was online and it was great. The practice tests were almost exactly like the actual tests. Two midterms and a final. Discussions were optional, but I went because they basically gave you the homework answers. Homework was graded for effort. It was a great class that took up minimal time.Rate My Professors ↗

The online blended course was kind of a joke. The course notes are written by Wardrop in a long-winded format that rarely gets to the point of the material in a direct way. This makes doing the weekly homework tedious and frustrating. I feel like I have not really learned any stats, let alone Biostats. Exams are sort of like practice exams.Rate My Professors ↗
