lectures are pretty pointless and confusing. better to stay at home and study on your own because he seems sort of scattered all over. textbook required to do modules which count towards final mark. nice guy but need a quality prof to teach business stats.

Great Stats Prof! He is easy going and if you need any help, he will answer in class. His tests are also straightforward and he provides past exams to practice. Moreover, he gives part marks if you show your work. He is there for you to succeed but do your lab hw and readings too. I did not attend all the classes and ended up with an A.

Best Stats professor for someone who is new to Stats! He is definitely really clear, fair and straight-forward. His exams are more student friendly, given that you have done your share of readings and attempted the online homework labs.

Adam really knows his stuff, basically teaches out of the textbook. It helps that he's a great guy and really cares about the success of his students. Tests and exams are extremely straightforward, just like his teaching method and the course in general. Very approachable and friendly. Would take again!

Comment:

Adam is a really great guy and very approachable. If you can focus and pay attention, his lectures can be very effective in breaking down key concepts. He may assign the occasional small bit of homework, but will spend considerable time taking it up next class to ensure everyones understanding. His exams and quiz's are very straightforward as well.

Comment:

Adam is lacks communication skills and wastes time dragging out simple concepts. His soft spoken nature makes it very easy to drift off during his lectures. If you have him, I highly recommend reading the chapters thoroughly before class, teach the concepts to yourself and use his lectures as a review.

Comment:

1. Prof is very helpful in the class. 2.Students need to study textbook and do end of the chapter problems to get a good grade in this course. 3.Prof will answer/ repeat any question you have in the class. 4.Hard to get a hold of the prof outside of the class. Email is the only way. If you email him, make sure you do ahead of time.

Comment:

great prof.. take him during the summer to avoid multiple choice midterms and finals.. his methods in class are somewhat confusing as he has his own techniques compared to the books but he marks both leniently and is generous with partial marks...he is very helpful in class. if you do all ur ehw, chapter end questions you are in good shape..

Comment:

Good prof but the exam was long and hard. I was surprised that the department of stats did not let Eckhart write the final, since the exam was nothing compared to the quizzes and midterms. Make sure you practice lots of questions and get extra if needed. I dropped two grade levels after the exam :(
