Comment:

I thought he was a great professor. If it weren't for his teaching clarity and helpfulness with questions, I never would have made an A in prob & stats.

Comment:

You have to be really persistent if you want any help from him, but even then, he is reluctant and his first impulse is always to refer you to the math lab. His teaching in class is not very clear either. Not a bad guy, but I wouldn't recommend him for Prob & Stats.

Comment:

Nice guy, and tries to help, but his explanations always left me more confused than I was initially. Not the best prof. to take if you're weak in math. Be sure to study all the old practice exams for the final because his class won't prepare you for it at all.

Comment:

hard to learn from him, doesn't teach very well. very nice man, and doesn't really pay attention to role. Great class if you don't really need to learn the stuff, or are a wiz at it. If you need to be taught, though, watch out!
