Comment:

Dr. Brinker teaches stats like its a lecture class when it shud be taught like a math class. Gives u 15 "labs" to do but they only help ur grade in the end. material is difficult, and he is there to help, but i new method of teaching it would do everyone some good. TAKE HIM for Research methodology...eaaasy A, but stats is a different story

Comment:

Stats is hard and it's a boring subject. If you have to have it though, take Brinker. His powerpoints outline everything you need to know and you get a review sheet before the tests. Labs assignments are easy for the most part too as long as you pay attention in class to the examples he shows before you complete the labs.

Comment:

He's kinda boring, but really easy! Don't buy the book, you probably wont need it. All I did to study for the tests was look over the study guide and memorize the quiz questions. The quizzes are a joke and dont take more than about 6 minutes to do. On the tests the quiz questions are word for word.

Easy A. Just make sure you do the quizes and show up to class and there is hard NOT to make an A. Even if you do bad on the test but do good on quizes and attendance, you should do fine He is a little boring, I usually just do other homework durring class.

Really nice guy. Clear about his tests and gives out free points with his online quizes. Easy to take notes with his power point lectures. Don't need to read but it helps on the tests alot. He gives you a review and tells you where the test material is coming from. I highly recomend taking his class

It was a Stats class, of course it was a little difficult. Really though, if I could get a B in Statistics, the man must be doing something right. All of his lessons were on powerpoint which i found very helpful and easy to take notes from.
