Comment:

Mildly offensive; sometimes mean to students but unintentionally. Goes off on tangents for very long periods of time in attempts to entertain bored students (which rarely work). When it comes to actually teaching, he's very good: clear, well spoken, very well organized, fair, good handwriting....overall a good lecturer, but sometimes a major assho

Comment:

Statistics is a boring subject. This prof. tries to cut through the boredom by poking fun at students or making decidedly non-PC jokes, both with mixed success. If you're a sensitive type, don't worry, because you don't need to attend class to succeed. Learn the easy material from the textbook. Homeworks graded and scores posted VERY promptly.

Comment:

Rips on students in lecture, sensitive types may cry. Tests are straightforward and follow homework pretty well. Lecture is unusual, he sidebars with jokes/news a lot but if you take good notes then you should be set. Also a nice guy at office hours as long as you have specific questions.

One of the more entertaining professors I've had. Class is no joke though. And DON'T ask him for a regrade for your exam!

Barely covers any material. Thinks he's funny but he's just insensitive.
