Comment:

I was recalling good teachers I've had, and Dave Adams came to mind. I had him as instructor back in 2005, and he was one of the few teachers that showed genuine passion in his student's success. It's not too common to see that nowadays!

Dave Adams is a wonderful teacher. I took his hybrid stat class, so we met once a week to discuss the chapters that were due that week or to ask questions and what not. He was very helpful with any questions and responds quickly. If you watch his homework help videos and ask questions there is no reason you wouldnt pass.

Comment:

Best math teacher I have ever had. Lectures are great, and he will stop to explain something more in depth if someone asks. Gives you extra credit points as an incentive to do better. The way the class works is so fair. Its based on what you put in is what you get. If you do the work and study the material for quizzes and tests, youll get an A.

David Adams is incredibly enthusiastic about his field! He tells stories relevant to the coursework, and also tells some stories not at all related to the coursework, but it's all part of the DAdams experience. Pretty easy if you pay attention in class and follow along with the online homework. 10000/10 best teacher :D

One of the best professors I've ever had ! He really cares for students' success. Quizzes and exams have no surprises. A lot of reading and learning, but it's worth it! I took this class two years ago

Great teacher, always answered e-mails within 24 hours. Likes to use technology to solve hard and long problems, for test he will give you tips during the exam to help improve your grade. If you take Stats online like I did, you can work ahead of the class and finish early.

Comment:

He makes you use a lot of technology in order to solve really difficult problems that would otherwise be done long hand. This makes the class very unique compared to other Stat classes. And it actually makes homework easier. Make sure you do your homework everyday because he will give extra to those who stay on top of their homework. Take him!

Dave is a great professor. He really cares and knows a lot about statistics. He covers material quickly and efficiently and uploads his lecture material online for easy access later. He also awards students for coming to class on time with the daily homework completed. If you put in effort and really pay attention to his teaching, you'll do well.

Dave is awesome if you put in effort and care about doing well. He is very good at explaining and always gives you the opportunity to ask questions and get clarification. If you do homework as it's assigned you get extra credit points on the tests. If you get a total of 100% on the tests, you don't have to take the final.

Best math teacher by far. He is very clear on what he expects his students to know. before every test and quiz he does a great job reviewing material. Some of the questions during his review are on the test/quiz so show up. Homework isn't due till end of quarter but you get extra credit if you do it on time. He will let you drop a quiz and test.

This class was unbelievable. So many quizzes and tests! Tests were 150 points and he made you memorize the chapter sections. Which had nothing to do with statistics! He's big on memorization. I would NOT recommend him!

In Statistics he is so helpful it is unreal. He is SO SO clear about what you need to know and reinforces it through the homework. Listen to the lecture do the homework before class (as this gives u a bonus point on tests) and i promise you will do very well. Cares and tries hard to get everyone to do well offers tons of free time to help you.

He is an amazing teacher. He is very clear about what you must learn and focus on during the course. If you do that, you will end up doing very well. Doing homework and coming to class is the most important in his class. You get math dollars as extra credit if you do homework and it helps alot in test. overall, he is a great teacher.

Comment:

If you do the homework every night and read the upcoming section the night before, you'll do just fine. He's very clear on what he expects from his students. He uploads a study guide for each test and quiz and tells exactly what will be on it. Lectures can be confusing at time, but if you read the book and ask questions, you should be okay.

One of the best math teachers I've ever had! His lectures are quick, so stay focused and he tells you what to take notes of. He posts every lecture, quiz review, and test review online so you won't miss much. His tests/quizzes are basically the reviews and he reuses questions from previous tests/quizzes. Gives extra credit just doing HW daily!

Best statistics teacher out there! Gives math dollars if you really try your best, and consistently do homework each night. This class will definitely prove if you are ready for college level classes. His class is challenging like most classes, but also fun. DEFINITELY TAKE HIS CLASS!!

Amazing guy, challenges you. Webassign in essential, study the abnormal homework problems and his slides (especially the ones that say important). He doesn't like lazy students, he expects a lot from you but you will learn a lot. He has passion for his subjects, LOVES questions. Nothing surprising on the final, his grading policy is good.
