Comment:
Childs goes at a slow pace and it's great . Actually repeats the questions other students ask and makes sure that he answers the question fully and a little extra. If you enjoy dark joke you'll love this guy. The tests are fair, but he will try to trick you sometimes. All resources are on his website and perfectly laid out for you to find and use.

An absolute gem. Clear and thorough notes and explanations. Also hilarious. The assignments and practice tests he provided were both helpful and relevant to the tests/exam. I haven't enjoyed a class at Mac this much in a while.

Among the best and most entertaining teachers I've ever had in my life. To be honest, if you just show up to lectures and listen, you'll be fine even if you've never done statistics in your life. Single-handedly made me enjoy statistics.

Comment:
Going into this course, i was confident it was going to be miserable as I personally have no interest in stats. This man single handedly made me enjoy stats and actually taught me how to apply it. Lectures are pretty heavy but assignments aren't too difficult as long as you follow the manual. Also his jokes fall under the "so bad its funny" label.

STATS 2B03 is not an easy 12 but if you do the midterms he gives you to practice and really take the time to understand the material, an 11 or 12 are very possible. His questions are usually not surprises however he may try to trick you so read carefully! He's really funny and gives great notes :)

Aaron Childs is one of the MOST thorough, articulate professors I've ever had. He is able to explain even the most confusing concepts with clarity and his course is designed to reinforce key concepts over and over again. From the repetition, plenty of examples and slow pace- you don't feel rushed in class to take notes. The mould for the perf prof!

Childs taught the material very well however he does not post notes so you must come to lecture to get the material. Assignments and textbook work supplement the lectures

Prof. Childs was an amazing instructor. He was able to explain many of the new concepts in the course effectively and was very clear in process during lecture. I really enjoyed my time in his class. However, missing lectures is not really worth it as he doesn't post his notes. But there were quite a few destroyers on that exam, so know your stuff.

Dr. Childs was the most amazing and hilarious professor. His teaching style is exceptional. The Assignments were very helpful for tests. His notes are clear, concise and easy to understand-- no textbook needed to understand content. His midterms and exams were very doable without problems if you try all the provided practice tests. A definite 12.

Childs is probably the best teacher I have ever had. He essentially writes out your note with you during lecture -at pace you can follow- while explaining what it all means. The assignments are helpful and the tests are fair. If you learn the info and do the practice tests this course is a guaranteed A. Also wow so funny

Made a dry course fun with his jokes. Go to class, take notes, and do the practice problems and you should do fine.
