Comment:

Tough grader, most of the things he mentioned on the final review were not covered on the final. Most of my friends felt betrayed on this. He intentionally made student to study and give a tough grade; Unannounced quizzes will make you to come to the class everyday---- 7:30 am morning class ! His Spanish accent and bad hand writing will also effet

Tough class and grader. Useful material. Best to read material ahead of time. Bad news to fall behind. Frank sticks to daily schedule. Interesting examples and connections to the real world.

Comment:

I have to drop his class after 4 weeks. Difficult lectures and quizzes are way diferent from what he teaches. Long lab assigments that nobody is able to complete on time because the computers don't have the program he needs. On top of that he wrote the textbook, which make things more unclear. I don't recommed his class.

Comment:

First and foremost, he is a very nice professor. His humor is a bit dry so be prepared for that. He is HARD. Be sure to read "his" textbook prior coming to class. Do NOT miss any of his classes or you can fall behind quick. His textbook is just a supplement to what he teaches. Only good thing is his exams are open notes.

Comment:

Frank is definitely a great professor that I'll recommend. He is charming ,humorous and he explain all the concept well. However, it's in a fast pace so read the textbook prior to or post class is mandatory.He is also thoughtful as he will give reminder for important events.I think I'll probably take his class again if the grade is not satisfy:)

Comment:

Well, I think I personally do understand the people under thought, but the thing is that college maths is hard, you can't look forward to pass the class easy if you are not concentrate, either you are not in a math related major which I would like to suggest stay away from him, otherwise, he is a really nice guy and would like to help if you ask.

Comment:

never take math 10 with this teacher, he wrote the book by himself, and he also tried to make examples to explain it. While most of the students got confused. Anyway, i don't recommend him~trust me

Frank is actually a very nice guy. He goes through the material pretty fast but willing to help you with any question. His test is not easy and you definitely need to read books. He never takes roll and doesn't drop people for not showing to class.

Comment:

Frank is hard, bottom line. He goes through sections VERY fast and makes you study hard. Tests are challenging as well. But he is absolutely HILARIOUS. He makes Stats a fun class since he's always joking. He's very organized and as long as you keep up with the work, you should be fine. Just remember, STUDY. His tests require thinking.

Comment:

Professor Soler teaches a college course in statistics. He is organized, prepared, knowledgeable, and fair. Quizzes are unannounced. Also, computer lab projects, 2 midterms, and final. He returns graded papers on the next day. Everything is open book/notes. Questions are not easy and require deep understanding. The course prepares students well.

Comment:

One of the greates teachers in De Anza college. My grade is far lower than I thought,but I know it is my own problem. He gave us very clear explaination.Although I don't like math, I loved the Math10 after taking class with him. He did the surgery on Wed, but he still insisted to give us class on next Monday. You will feel guity if you don't study

Comment:

He is very demanding. If you fall behind he is not really willing to help you like other professors would, which is fine. but he is mean about it. He is always on track and he is not really clear what is going to be on the test. I give him an F since that is what he gave me If math is your thing and you can really basically learn on your own take i

I don't know who wrote the comment below me, but we are in the same class and I have to agree! Frank is a great teacher and he takes the time to explain the concepts. I would take his class all over if I had to. Also make sure to read the book and go to class or else you'll be lost.

Comment:

Frank is a really good teacher hands down. He's an overall nice dude and does a good job of explaining the concepts which really shows his passion for the field. Just show up to class EVERYDAY, and keep up with the reading, you should be fine. I suggest taking the 730 class for more hands on attention, and if you're a baseball fan, you'll love him.

Frank is not an easy teacher. However, he's more willing to help during his office hour. And his like a grandfather-figure at times. But I don't think I will take another class with him again, final exam was SUPER DUPER difficult.

Comment:

The best professor ever! He's materials are hard, but is extremely helpful once you transfer. Upper div. Statistics is almost the similar level with his class. If you are wanting to know the material, then study, go to his office hour. He is there because he loves to teach. He just solely love students.

He wrote the book, so that makes the class that much worse! I normally consider myself pretty intelligent, but NOT in this class. The material is clear as MUD!

Comment:

Attendance is Mandatory!! You will be lost if you do not go to class every day. Trying to understand the book without his lectures is difficult. If you go to class, then Stats is EASY. Also, don't be fooled because first 5 wks were so easy I never opened the book, then came Central Limit Thm and my grade plummeted bc of it, so don't slack off!
