Comment:

He is the best Sign Language teacher I've ever encountered. He is very successful in his life. He taught in a way that left us with no questions. He was very thorough in his teaching. He made sure we knew how to do the sign before he moved on! He kept class fun and kept us engaged! He is quite the funny guy, lots of jokes that related to the lesson

He's the best, really helpful and actually clears this stuff up for once. I'm not sure if he's still around but take him if he is.

Posner is a fantastic teacher. It doesn't matter if you don't like stats, because he makes it so understandable that you can't help feeling good about the class. Clear and concise and a very fair grader. Make sure to go to class and study for the quizzes! I'd love to take Posner agian.

EZ class if you attend lecture. Quizzes, HW, exams are easy and fair(although he occasionally tries to throw in some tricky probs in exams). He gives 150% of effort to help you understand the material.

Posner is a great math teacher. He explains every concept that you need to know for the tests, is extremely clear and even pretty interesting, and lets you use notes. Go to lecture, take notes, and you'll do fine. If only all math teachers taught like Posner did.

Even if you're not a big math person, this class is both interesting and easy. Professor Posner is a great teacher who made me look forward to a math class at 9:30 in the morning. He allows open notes on quizzes and exams, and is very accessible for outside help.

Comment:

Posner is an awesome professor! He somehow managed to make statistics mildly interesting, even at 9:30 AM. His open-book test policy is very fair. Make sure you go to discussion section though if you're weak at math. I learned too late that it helps a lot.

Comment:

Homework is quick and easy, open book quizzes and cheat sheets for exams. Knows that most kids aren't passionate about stats but uses interesting and real examples and finds ways to apply the subject to our lives. Loved this class against all odds and it was only because of the professor.

Comment:

The subject is a little confusing, especially if you've never taken stats before, but Posner makes it much easier to understand. He also makes it REALLY EASY to do well - you get "cheat sheets" for your tests and open note quizzes. It's a really good class!

THE BEST TEACHER. He explains everything so clearly and, even if you don't get it, he always schedules exam review sessions in which you can ask any questions. And he focuses on just helping you get the right answer which is awesome. Also he brings really interesting statistics to share.

Comment:

Amazing Professor - enthusiastic, funny, and his teaching makes his statistical knowledge obvious. My favorite part was about him was he would call on you once, ask your name, and then remember it for the rest of the semester along with 150 + other students. Do your homework and you're good to go!

Prof. Posner is really great, he understands that most of the people in his class are not statistics majors! He is extremely organized and clear, and always willing to help. He makes it as easy as possible, but you definitely still learn. Great class!

The course is easy and it could be very boring with another prof but Posner is really good at his job. He is extremely helpful too. Cheat papers are allowed in exam and if you work a little there is no reason for not getting an A/A-.
