Professor Buckingham is the best!! He made statistics so easy to understand- his lectures are easy to follow and if you take good notes, you have exactly what you need for the exams. Phenomenal, super-sweet teacher who makes class a lot of fun. Definitely take him.

Comment:

Dr Buckingham is like a nerdy dad and tells bad dad jokes during class that make you chuckle. He clearly explains everything so make sure you show up to class. You need to get the textbook because thats where all the homework questions on blackboard come from. SPSS is a pain, but he makes sure you know how to use it. I'll definitely take him again.

I'm terrible at math & was scared to take this, but he goes through all the steps very clearly & makes the material sooo easy to understand. Doesn't keep track of attendance but honestly, try to go since he doesnt post any lectures online. He's available outside of class and is incredibly sweet. Honestly, best prof for stats so definitely take him

If you hate stats and/or have failed it before, take him. He's like winning the lottery. He clearly cares about his students. I took him over the summer. Best decision of my life. He's a God-send to this university.

He's really into teaching and tries to clearly explain all concepts for all individuals to understand. He designs his lectures so well and he makes it super easy to follow the logic, which can be lost in other professors. As long as you go to class and write down everything he writes down, you should ace the exams. He also encourages ppl to meet up

4 simple, straight forward exams. All the questions come from the study guide. Just go over the ppt.s, and there are certain topics that you need to look up from the book, but he will specify those. Interesting, fun lectures. Some in class written activities which are a 5 minute thing- total breeze. I really liked Dr. Buckingham & his class. Easy A

Interesting and straightforward class. He gives study guides for tests. Fill them out, study them, and you will do great on the exams. Attendance is not mandatory, but he gives easy short writing assignments during class that are unannounced. So, if you skip class, you could miss those points. Gives extra credit for participating in psyc studies.

He's really nice and maybe the slightest bit awkward, but in an admirable way. His lectures are always interesting and include many examples of studies to back up everything you learn. His tests are an easy A if you study!

Professor Buckingham is really sweet and makes the work comprehensive. There is homework after almost every class, but it helps boost your grade and gives you extra practice. If you study the material you will be fine! Newer material often builds off of older material in this class, so make sure you really know what you are doing.

I loved this class and learned a lot. He is very knowledgeable about this topic and refers to several different experiments and research to back up what he is teaching. His test are easy because he teaches in a way where you learn just by listening, but taking notes is also important.

I hate math but he made this class bearable. Homework questions every night but they help to boost your grade in the end. He also gives a full formula sheet for every test. Extra credit is available but it should be done in the early part of the semester.

Stats is a hard class, you have to work to get a good grade. Dr Buckingham helps you a lot. He is very organized and always willing to help. He responds to emails very fast. He gives out homework every class and goes over it in the beginning of the next class. Tests are problem solving and multiple choice. Study and you should do well.

Psyc 212 has been very hard for me. I failed it twice and got a D the third time. Luckily Towson let me take it a fourth time. I'm so glad they did because Dr. Buckingham is one of the best teachers I've had. He really takes the time to explain what's going on. Definitely take him for stats!

Dr. Buckingham is my favorite professor. He is very clear and concise, and if you need individual help he is flexible with meeting with students. To understand the material, you have to attend class as well. I HIGHLY recommend taking his class if you are required to take a stats class.
