Comment:

He's an industrial engineer, too much experience. Wrote the Riemann sum on my test... felt like wasting my time... classmates thought they were smarter than me for some reason.. strange.

Comment:

By far, the most hilarious man I have ever heard speak. His clarity in the problems is crystal. He goes over material very slowly and could not make statistics any easier to follow. His tangents are beautiful and his phrasology is stuffed with things you've never heard of. Excellent teacher.

Comment:

He's a teacher every student should experience at least once. Open Book, Open Notes, and he writes the notes for you. That said, you still have to attend class. He'll put questions like "I mentioned in class..." on tests. His grading scale is whack (93% yet B+?), but he's alright, talks about women and food a lot, and will help during office hours.

Comment:

Professor screams in your ear so make sure not to sit in front row. Overall class was not too bad but he would always put in a few questions from the lecture so it helps to attend class. Open Note Open Book. Sometimes his questions can be tricky. If you need a business stats class then take him I guess.

Forst is awesome. He is hilarious and entertaining. His tests are super easy, open note open book. Most people don't even come to class except for test days, but I do because I love him. He is a badass.

Comment:

I was pretty excited to take this course, but was so disapointed when i got there. He goes on tangents often, and spoon feeds you the tests through his notes and homework problems. any stats that would require remotely any effort is skipped, and some of his questions are from his random lectures "which graph did i describe as lumpy" overall easy a

Comment:

not worth taking! sooo boring. he screams his lecture like Lewis Black, and gets off topic frequently. Have to teach yourself, yes its easy but you will end up wasting your money with this class because you will never want to go... EVER. just take someone else and save yourself the frustration

Comment:

Very easy class. Only 2 tests and the final. The tests are open book/note and he gives you the notes! Always brings the notes from the last class to the next one and he just covers that. Only probem is he can be really dull and picks arbitrary words in his sentences to belt at the top of his lungs. If you just want the class out of the way take him

Comment:

Dr. Frank Forst is a great and interesting teacher. His class is very easy with open book and open note sheets tests. Two Midterms worth 30% each and Final worth 40%. The only problem is that motivation to pay attention and do the homework is lost when you see how many people don't come to class, only coming for tests.

Easy. Open Book. But super boring. I don'tknow what they're talking about. He's practically yelling in your ear, but nonetheless, he's a nice guy. If you're the type who doesn't fall asleep, take him.

Forst is a fantastic spectacle. He is super sweet and hilarious. He goes into GREAT detail while teaching, so if you choose to pay attention to him you will learn a lot. Also, he passes out the handouts from the day before in the begining of class so skipping class is extremely possible.

Comment:

Forst has great voice variation. If you study properly for the first and second midterms and don't just bring in old exams to refer to, the final is not difficult at all. It is longer, but can be completed in at least an hour. Ridiculously easy class.

TAKE HIM!! Great guy ! attendance not mandatory, but make sure to get all the handouts b/c this is what the test will be on. 2 midterms which are very easy open book open note. But the final is harder but as long as you study the notes and go ove rthe homework problems you should be fine.

first two tests are easy, i never went to class and got A's on both. HOWEVER, beware of the final!!! the test was way too long to complete in time given. dropped my A to a C. This class appears to be easier than actually is.

Open book, open note test, gives you handouts that you can use on the test and show you how to do it, has questions from the book on the test, do the homework and you will do fine. He keeps it interesting and makes it easy if you go to class to get an A

Comment:

Forst is one of my favorite professors. His lectures are hysterical...I spent all 2.5 hours a week trying to restrain myself from explosive laughter. I swear I even peed my pants one time. Anyway, he's one of the few professors that doesn't develop favorites as the semester goes on.......he treats everyone the same. Everyone should take Forst
