I had him as a TA for STAT333 with professor Kang, he was a very good TA. Class time was efficiently used and he is very good at answering questions.Rate My Professors ↗

This was Sean's first semester as a lecturer, and if he had not told the class, I probably would have not noticed. I had him for an 8 am class, and yet he did not put me to sleep. This was impressive considering I am not huge into statistics. He was a good lecturer, a fair grader, and he expressed his expectations clearly.Rate My Professors ↗

Sean was a pretty good instructor overall. It was his first semester teaching when I took class with him but he seemed to do well. Exams were kind of hard but not too bad.Rate My Professors ↗

Sean is a super nice guy! His lectures follow a printed packet format with examples and all the formulas on it needed to succeed in the class. There isn't a lot of material outside of class to work on and homework is due every two weeks. Tests are fair but there isn't a lot going into creating your grade. Work hard for the tests as there are only 3Rate My Professors ↗

Sean is a great lecturer and wants his students to succeed. He provides all the necessary information to succeed in the class and use statistics outside of class without overwhelming students with tons of reading/notes. The homeworks are doable and useful to understand using R.Rate My Professors ↗
