Comment:

First of all if you are not amazing at math, do not take this class online. First test there was around 30 students. Second test more than half were gone. The final, there was maybe 8 of us left. He provides A LOT of material on blackboard, most of it was useless for the test. 4 Excel computer assignments with confusing directions. Tests are HARD

Comment:

I loved this class. I took it online and I was very scared at the beginning of the semester, but it is nothing to worry about. I got 95 on my 1st & 2nd test. The tests are not hard, you just have to work out the assigned problems and do Wiley plus. That's all I did and got an A! I took 5 classes on the semester as Grad student and still did well.

Comment:

I took this course online this class was a teach your own self class little to no feedback from the teacher. His tests are not as homework or quizzes. The only thing that saved me in this class is the way he weighted the grades otherwise I would have been in the red. If you have no discipline to study and learn on your own do not take this class

Please be aware, this class is a lot of teaching yourself the material. A quiz every week (not timed - which is nice) but the tests are HORRID. No multiple choice, all typing and you better hope that you round correctly. He is very nice, but this class isn't easy. Plus, there are 4 Computer Assignments, first two are cake, last two are difficult.

Comment:

I love math, which is very fortunate, but if you are not good at it, I would recommend taking someone else. I teach myself everything from the book. The assignments are open book, open notes but that doesn't make it much easier. His assignments are a little confusing. Not the easiest, but not the hardest. Not too much work!

Took this class online. I had to learn a lot of it on my own. Thankfully I have a family member that's a whiz in statistics so that helped me out a lot. Assignments weren't too bad neither were the tests. If you're awful with statistics, I wouldn't take him.

Comment:

If you are not good with math or statistics, don't take him. All quizzes and tests are open book open note, but you don't learn anything from him, it is all teaching yourself. He spends all his time talking about parts of the book that he later says "you dont need to know that, oh well". Take K. Black if you want to learn something.

Comment:

This what you can expect from this professor. He never looks up from the ground. He can not teach without his faculty notes. He forgot them one day and he couldn't stop stuttering. He'll talk for hours, but actually teach you nothing. If math is easy to you, take him. If not, go elsewhere. Read the book and don't go to class.

I'm not kidding, I've NEVER had a teacher this bad. The textbook is your teacher. I'm sure he's a smart guy, but some people just shouldn't teach. Never lets you know your status, and his grading structure is messed up.

Horrible... Please don't take him. Waste of time and money. He never looks at you, stares at the carpet. We were in class till 10:30 one day, this class isn't for working people. If you have him, please drop. He is the worst teacher in history of mankind.

Comment:

This class takes some work and this guy gives you the info that you need. Granted, he is a little like "Rainman" but if you do the homework problems, he goes over them in class, then the test problems are just like those. The tests are open notes...c'mon people, this is college. Time to start thinkin on your own.

Comment:

Worse professor in the history of universities. Please do NOT take this professor. Poor teaching skills. His exams and test are so tricky or should i say meant for you to fail. Will deceive you not to drop the class but you can make it through but ends up given you a bad grade. He is not a good professor to teach in a university.

If you can teach yourself Stats, than your better off. He teaches with his back to the class and you may get lucky to get a straight answer if you ask a question. 2.5 hours of lecture and lucky to get a break. Take professor Black.

Comment:

This professor was mediocre at best. If you did the homework, you would pass the small quizzes. His midterm and final however were made to trick people. He even told us that before taking the test! All tests are open book, open notes which makes it easier. He is a very nice professor but constantly taught stuff that wasn't needed to know!

He is Bad. Don't take Him. He won't look you in the eye when he talks and also does not know what is going on. He didn't even take Stats in College, (that is what he said). Leave while you still can.

Comment:

To pass this class you must teach yourself. You might need to help him out occasionally-while lecturing he might walk into the corner of the room and not be able to find his way out. If you ask him a question other than his name, he will get confused and lose his train of though which had been derailed from the first day of class.

This guy is scared of his own shadow. He never makes eye contact. It is pointless to go to class. The guy cannot work the problems if he does not have the answer on his paper in front of him.

This guys really sucks as a teacher, very unorganized. Someone in my class had to instruct him on how to use a whiteboard and eraser. I dont' doubt his intelligence, but he should not be teaching.

Take another prof for this class. I have heard Black is good. This guy is terrible, he stares at the floor and is so unorganized that it disrupts the class. Pick someone else for the job.

Comment:

This guy should be in a room solving statistics all day. He knows his stuff be hes just not very good at explaining it. Not the worst professor ive ever had but close. He is however the most boring unless you sit back and watch him attempt to teach which is funny. Hope you like looking out the window.
