He's soo boring, but a good teacher. Although, if you dont follow along with him then you'll fall behind, so go to class!

Comment:

One of the best professors at I have had. You will definitely learn alot about statistics. It is apparent he has alot of experience in statistics outside of academics because he often relates problems,techiques,common errors etc.. to situations he has encountered in statistical analysis and sas programming.

Best teacher in the world. You have to put alot of time into this class, and he makes you think on the tests. If you want to end this class thinking you know more than most graduate students and also get a pretty attainable A take him. Plus no accent!

Comment:

He's very good!! Organized, clearly spells out how the ideas are connected, practice worksheets are perfect for doing well on exams. Makes dry jokes, so you have to pay attention. He doesn't require attendance, but he doesn't teach from the book, so if you miss his lecture you are lost! Excellent professor!

Comment:

Good professor overall. Gives good examples, and explains theorems and proofs well. Reading the text is helpful but might not be necessary, since he will teach you everything you need to know for the exams, which are easy. Has the most generous grading scale I've ever seen; 85%-A, 70%-B, 55%-C, 40%-D.

Comment:

Probably the best math professor I've had- very down-to-earth, helpful, and thorough. If you go to lecture it is nearly impossible not to get an A, and the quizzes at recitation are extra credit. FYI: Whatever you do, do not talk in class or have headphones on... he will FLIP OUT. He's nice guy in general but has a dark side too.

he uses excellent examples to help you understand what he is trying to teach. lectures can at times be boring though. tests are mostly modifications of book problems or examples. definately recommend!

Easiest... class... ever. Tests are easy and formulas are given to you. Even if you bomb two tests (nigh impossible) you can get a "B" or even an "A" if you fight for it.
