Comment:

I'm upset because they made me rate this professor at least a 1 out of 5. There was no option for a 0 out of 5. Tests count for 90% of the class and the two test averages were 50% and 30%. Lectures are pointless due to his heavy accent and terrible handwriting. Take this class if you enjoy anxiety

Comment:

Professor Khattree knows a lot about stats. He has a somewhat heavy accent, but you learn to understand it quickly. He speaks softly, and his notes are very hard to follow, although he does stick with the book so thats always helpful to have. Homework due every Friday; it doesnt take that long (took me only 3 hours total a week).

Comment:

I read these reviews before I took the class and thought people were just being too hard on him. I was wrong. DO NOT take this professor. He is a soft speaker with a strong accent and his handwriting is basically cursive. Homework is due every Friday and takes 10 hours+ to complete. Tests are 90% of the grade and are nothing like the HW or lectures

Comment:

Very smart man but very bad teacher. Hard to follow his notes as he writes from memory and will backtrack to fix mistakes several times per class. Homework assignments take up to 30 hours each and can cover things he never taught. He grades extremely hard and does not give any partial credit and rarely answers any questions.

Awful is an understatement for this professor. Why he's teaching at OU is beyond me and the entire class.

Comment:

His exams are tough, which isn't great when they account for so much of your grade. Something's wrong when you do fine on the homework and then the majority of people do poorly on the exams. It's very frustrating, and I wouldn't recommend taking him unless he changes how he runs the course.

Comment:

I felt really good about this course, I went to all the classes (attendance is a grade) got good grades on all my stuff and felt good about the final, but I ended up with a 2.5?? It's not a hard subject but his tests seem to always cover material you HAVE NEVER BEEN TAUGHT. Then he blames you for not knowing. It wasn't even in the book!

Comment:

Knowledgable, explains material good Heavy accent skips certain things in book but its fair game on exam Harsh grader, no partial points, no practice exam Grade based on 2 exams (20 each), final (40) and hw and attendance (20) does not give points back easily.

Comment:

This class wasn't that hard. A lot of the material is common sense, but people complained about him all the time because they didn't show up and blamed him for them not understanding it. Jut show up, listen, and review outside of class. Attendance is mandatory, homework due every friday an theres 2 midterms and a final.

Comment:

He does not teach you how to use the graphing calculator nor the applets in the textbook. The total points of the course are extremely low, so if you fail one test you're basically forfeiting any chances of doing well. I highly recommend you do not take this Professor.

Comment:

His final was impossible! He s very smart and I respect him, but expect to work a lot harder than if you were in another class. HW once a week based on correctness, gives 2 exams, attendance was graded, and doesn't teach you how to use the calculator. His class is not impossible as long as you're willing to put forth the effort.

Comment:

Gives 5 projects no tests. Averages of projects were in 50s and 60s. Very little correlation between projects and material. Hw must be done using a computer language (SAS) he did not teach. You go in for help (assuming he shows up for his office hours)and he just tells you to read the notes/book and search the internet.

Comment:

He can be a bit hard to understand sometimes, but he usually writes down everything that is important that he says. He starts each lecture by asking for any questions from last lecture. Yes, there is a lot of homework, but it is not collected and the quiz every Friday is exact questions from the homework so its not totally worthless.

Comment:

Gave class a choice, do all the problems in the book and get a C+ or take your chances with his exams. Everyone took the C+. He is a completely useless professor. He gets to stay because he has good "lineage" in the stats world. Someone has to be at the bottom of his lineage. Would be nice if next lowest was within a mile. I would give him an F---.

Let me start by saying I was absolutely shocked when I found out I got a B in this class. He is difficult to follow, and his lectures are an hour of torture. He didn't take attendance, but you are taking a gamble on whether he would assign a homework assignment or not. The exams?-Good Luck. I would avoid if possible, but he was the only option.

Comment:

Math students live and die by partial credit. Unfortunately he gives almost no partial credit on tests. This makes it extremely difficult to get a decent grade if you make a small mistake. Overall hes not horrible. I'm just pissed that there is no transfer equivalent and he seems to be the only on teaching this class at OU.

Comment:

He understands what he is talking about but it isn't always easy to understand him or the way he explains things. There is a massive curve at the end of the class, I got a better grade than anticipated. Make sure you sit in the front, do the homework(graded for accuracy), and get above average score on the exams. If you do this, you should be fine.

This professor and class is just horrible. He's very hard to understand, is rude when you ask questions, offer no help for homework and will report you for using an online resource for academic dishonesty even though he does not respond to emails regarding help with homework. Tests averages were below 40%. Just take STA 226 somewhere else.

Super hard to understand him. He only teaches by example doesn't explain what he's doing or why. Homework is easy. Exams are hard. It is Calc so its hard. But he doesn't help you grade wise. GPA Killer!!
