Comment:

Doesn't Explain self fully. Needs to learn how to teach, teaching is not just reading exactly what you have on the word document. Spends more time talking about his hatred of Excel than actually teaching us how to do the course work. He basically teaches like the Teacher from Ferris Bueller's Day off.

Comment:

Highly intelligent & observant professor. If you make frequent appointments with him, you'll ace homework & projects. Very little homework: to understand statistics, you must practice extensively. Do practice problems & ask for his help. Lecture is confusing- tangents interjected & hard to follow. No tutor support for this class (2011).

Comment:

He is consistently late in returning papers and grades. He is more concerned about cheating than making sure a student walks away from the course with the ability to apply what has been taught. I would prefer the course not be taught like an undergraduate class where memorization was mandatory.

Too intelligent to teach college students, should be an economist instead.
