Comment:
Easy class, great professor. If you have the chance to take it with him, do it, because he always mentions that this may be the last semester he teaches this class. Grade is solely based on 3 exams, and he curves the grading scale down so you can essentially get a 58% in the class and get a C. Watch the lectures and get the study guide.

Great professor. Just go to class or watch his lectures. Make sure you actually do the problems and follow along in class and you will get an easy A. No HW, just do end of chapter problems before tests too, if you can do all of them youll get a 95% on his tests at least.

Comment:
In the 3 plus years that I've been in college, I've never had a class this boring. It is very hard to pay attention, since the material is so boring. On a bright side, there is only 3 exams and he grades pretty farily. I don't think this class would be so hard if the professor related it more to real world situations. Good Luck.

Pretty easy class. Need the book. You don't have to come to class, but unless you have seen the material before, I would recommend going. Exams are decent, make sure and study his practice problems he gives in class.

Comment:
This is a tough class, period. White's lectures are very long & boring and take twice as long to watch if you follow carefully. He's a nice guy, but dry and repeats himself often. The study guide is crucial. He gives 3 exams w/ no other assignments. Has a very lenient grading scale which can make the difference between a C and an F. Good luck!

This class has the potential to be very difficult. However, Professor White makes it easy to understand. I never found myself frustrated with the material as I did in previous stat classes. His point scale is very lenient. You have to buy the study guide if you want to pass. I wouldve gotten an A had I studied better for the first exam.

Quant. Bus Tools 2 is a pure statistics class. The subject is boring but Dr. White makes it simple, and his stories which serve a point will make you interested in the subject. He also wrote the textbook. Watch the videos, even if you don;t read the book and you will do OK. Got a B+.

Very boring subject but he does a good job of making it bearable. I took his class online and got an A by listening to all the videos (although I trailed off a lot) and studying the study guide intensely before each exam. Don't get behind. Never used the book or minitab.

Really easy class! Lectures can be boring but he has good stories and on good days is really funny. Kind of behind on technology, literally writes on notebook paper under the doc cam, but teaches you the essentials without the BS so it's a lot easier to understand. Every test has 2 extra credit questions, I ended up with 105%. I'd recommend him!

Professor White is very clear about his expectations, and what will be on the tests, and he works on a VERY generous grading scale. If i didnt already have a solid stats background i might have found the course tougher. So if you aren't strong in math you will need to work pretty hard to do well!

Fairly easy class but dear lord the material is boring. Tends to tell lengthy stories that waste class time in my opinion. Get the study guide and make sure to go/watch the last lecture before the test starts. Don't buy the book. Like I said, easy class but hard to pay attention due to how boring it was.

Okay teacher, but grade is only based off of 3 tests, which sucks. Definitely get the study guide, I never bought the book. Got a C and hardly studied, so I'm sure if you study you'll do good.

I read the book but most practiced the study guide. Did decent in the class. His lectures can be boring but I watched them all. I think it depends on your learning style how well you do. I'd study as much as you can.

Comment:
He is not a bad professor. Its good that he repeats himself for some of the harder material. However, I don't like his liberal political views. He should keep it to himself. He said his hero was Mikail Gorbachev and that the Soviet Union ended due to him walking away from it. The USSR ended after Reagan told him to tear down the Berlin wall
