Comment:
I had this prof for 3 weeks as a substitute for my class and he talked to us like we were in middle school. He made up his own names for the actual words that were in the text book. He was a freaking moron that said Yeah when it didnt make any sense. He ran around the classroom too for some freaking reason. I'd never take this guy for a class.

Comment:
I have had this guy for 3 semesters and each time its the same. He likes to teach and doesnt like when kids dont go to class. He doesnt take off points when you miss class but seems to look out for you if you go to class all the time. If you go to class all the time and do the hw youll easily get a C. Stats is hard so take this guy

Comment:
he is possibly the best teacher i've had so far at ku. he is definetly the best teacher if you have to take an economics class. he is very clear in presenting material. the tests are challenging, but if you go to class, take notes and read the book, you'll have no problem getting a good grade in his class.

Great teacher. Very very easy and clear. Gives answers to homework before you hand it in. Gives practice tests. Very straight forward, no suprises. Go to class, take some notes, & read the chapters. Very easy to get a good grade.

Everyone says how hard stats is and they are right. He gives you hw to do which if you go to class then youll have no problem getting right. HW makes up 40%. Take him if you plan on going to class.

class was pretty tough and he did nothing to try to help the students. if theres a way he can cheat you he will. on a few of the excel assignments mine was excatly like his and he said it was not acceptable and once he did the problem from the book wrong and he said that the book was wrong since he mixed up the numbers. hes just cuttin corners.

Comment:
His lectures are complete. Very clear and fair with what he expects you to know. Just read the text before lectures and you should atleast get a B. Tries to keep class fresh by teaching in an excited fashion to keep kids tuned in. Great sense of humor and he's very realistic. Take him. He's benefecial whether you're a business major or not.

Very clear. Best part is that he occasionally acts silly to keep his class's interest. I'll never forget how he stood on top of his desk and sang the 50's song "Get a Job".

READ, READ, READ. Read the book and do your assignments and you should do fine. The thing is that you have to go to class to get the assignments. So go to class to. One other thing, I had him for an 8 oclock class I swear he must drink 10 cups of coffee because he can very hyper and excite easily.

Hvidding is a good guy. You get Excel homework everyday but you get to correct it and hand it in again for full credit. Homework is 40% of the grade. Its tough with who ever you take though, avoid Jensen

Well he gives a lot of homework YES, but he gives you the answers and then has you hand it in. Plus he doesn't take attendence so you don't have to show up everyday (which isn't necessary anyway). Just read the book you'll do fine.
