Comment:

Funny professor but very hard class. Reinig is very passionate about statistics and he does a great job introduce this difficult subject. Go to his lectures, he provides extra notes on his slides that you can't get on blackboard. He grades very tough and only weights the final exam. 1st Exam (25%), 2nd Exam (30%), Final Exam (35%), Test Cases (1%).

Comment:

Great teacher makes you laugh and gives great real world examples. Very hard class tho. You will have to study a lot, exams are hard! Class is not mandatory, but in his lectures he gives you only part of the notes and has you fill in blanks during class. Does not post full notes so if you don't attend you will be at a huge disadvantage for exams.

Comment:

Dr Reinig is by far one of the best professors I've ever had (and I have 3 degrees). His lectures are very helpful as he goes through a lot of problems and examples. Cases are easy, long and not worth a lot of percentage. Tests are quite tough but if you pay attention in class and do your homework you'll be fine!

Comment:

Make no mistake, MIS 301 is not an easy course and although Professor Reinig is extremely bright and well rounded in the discipline of statistics, he makes his students perform calculations by hand which makes the class twice as difficult compared to if he taught it by using a scientific calculator. Other than that, he was a good guy who cares.

The best professor I have ever had! You need to work hard in the class but he makes the concepts crystal clear. Fair and intelligent. Good sense of humor to make the class interesting.

You are a fool if you do not take Reinig for MIS 301! He's the best. I took the class online over summer break and it was the best online class i've ever taken. His lectures are SO clear, he literally walks you through every problem step by step so you are prepared for his tests. Material is hard but Reinig explains it well! Take good notes.

Comment:

Took online, during summer. Bad video lectures, rambles endlessly about easy stuff, skips over hard things that need explaining. 2-3 chapters a week + quizzes + excel case, way too many HW problems to fit into available hours. Teach yourself from book. Exams very hard, q's often very different from lecture/reading. Frustrating, do not recommend.

Comment:

Horrible. He "teaches" online but its pretty much a self-taught class. Took summer course. 3 assignments a week (AT LEAST), lectures are horrible. Assigns optional hw, but its A LOT! Midterms are SUPER difficult! Case assingments are a complete waste of time. Stats is better taught with a calculator but he does everything by hand. DONT TAKE HIM!

Didn't Realize this class was online when I signed up for it. You have to watch the recorded lectures! At least 1 online quiz every week and 3 exams that you take in the library and one final non-cumulative. There are also a few case studies. Takes questions come from HW problems and recorded lectures. Hard class but he's willing to help you out!

First two exams review material from 119. Third exam was toughest. Fourth (non-cumulative) was super easy. No mandatory HW. Do all probs b4 exams to prep. No surprises. Frequent quizzes on book/slide material. Cases are easy and done in excel. Nice guy who's into the subject. LEARN TO DO PROBS ON TI-84!

This class is pretty hard,but Dr.Reinig is an excellent professor.He explains things very well.He is very willing to help students,but as long as you do all the HW Problems and understand them,you are golden.You have to go to the class as he does not give you everything on the PPT slides.Extremely helpful in office and very approachable all thetime

Definitely one of the best professors I have ever had! He makes statistical analysis extremely interesting with real world examples (gambling as well!!) His tests are tough but if you keep up with homework and exercises you can get an A!

Dr. Reinig is exactly what all professors should be: smart, personable, engaging, and challenging, but fair. You MUST put in effort to do well in his class... but he's such a great teacher, the effort is worth it. My favorite professor at SDSU!

Extremely helpful and crystal clear. Do your homework regularly and pay attention in class, get the lecture notes printed out and write down everything he says, as you will get everything he says for MCQ's. The exams are tough but assignments are very easy.

Good professor, really passionate about statistics. He gives excel assignments (2), which are doable. His tests are pretty straight forward, final is basically a compilation of the other midterms. Recommend this professor.

Comment:

This class sucks big time. The stuff that he teaches is useless in real life unless you are an statistics professional. He expects you to be an excel master.The excel assignments are horrible. Too much material for just one class. Take someone else. I got a B going to class everyday and doing the homework. the lectures are boring and useless.

Best professor I've ever had! Didn't learn statistics in my undergrad, but finally did it when I took Reinig's class. I love his enthusiasm and the real like examples he gives. You can get an A if you study the homework problems.

Reinig RULES...best stats professor ever. Rules to an A: 1)Do the HW..tests come straight from them.2)Follow instructions to the letter for the cases and if something is unclear ask. Dr. Reinig is a fantastic lecturer and wants everyone to understand and apply the material to real life. Great professor.

Comment:

Class attendance is not req'd, but if you want to get an A, it'd be in your best interest. Stay caught up with lecture notes and homework problems (not graded.) Very anal about his grading. He does grade on a curve at the end of the course.
