Comment:

Stat I & II over the summer. Everyone says he's hard but he simply expects you to apply yourself and earn your grade. This is college; you're not in high school anymore! You're actually going to have to work in this class. He is more than willing to help even outside of class. Grades on a curve for final grade. Extremely intelligent and nice guy!

Comment:

It's a hard course. I took it in the summer and would highly recommend doing so. Gebhart expects you to be responsible and do the reading and work he asks. He answers any and all questions and will be sure everyone understands. Do your work, don't procrastinate, and you'll do well.

Comment:

Took Statistics I and Statistics II in summer. If you need the class at all, TAKE IT IN THE SUMMER. I heard horror stories about this class and prepared myself. This class is self taught. Finals are cumulative so easier during a 5 week span than a 16 week span. Take it in the summer when it's the only course you need to focus on. Excessive HW.

Comment:

This class is extremely difficult. The professor is rude and sarcastic. If you take his class, be prepared to teach yourself the entire course. I had an extremely hard time learning the concepts and that then hindered my performance in Stat II.

Comment:

This is a very difficult class, because there are no lecture notes prepared for class that day. Instead Gebhart sits down and forces the class to ask questions on the reading. The book itself can be very confusing but is necessary. Don't expect much help from the questions in class. You will need to teach yourself everything.

Comment:

Gebhart doesn't walk in to class with a pre-planned lecture, rather he expects students to ask him questions. Come prepared with very specific questions. If you do this, he can actually be helpful. He's a nice guy, and is pretty hilarious. If you have trouble meet with him during office hours. Get on his good side.

Comment:

Both Stat I and II are very hard. Gebhart is a nice person but expects students to be mature and ask questions if the material is not clear. He claims that his role is not to regurgitate the book, it is only to clarify any questions that one may have as they struggle through the class. It is definitely not an easy class but an A is attainable.

Comment:

Gebhart hardly lectures or teaches during class periods. Students, when asking questions, must be prepared to feel stupid and will be belittled. Be prepared to teach yourself and make sure you get 100% on all homework. Good luck you will need it.

He is a very hard professor who makes his tests look like Graduate school in Statistics 1. He is one who anyone must be careful if forced to take his class. He will lower your GPA!!

He is not a teacher in the slightest. Be prepared to teach yourself all of the material. And he makes you feel like a fool when you ask for help in class. Good luck, you'll need it.

He iss a very nice guy but a horrible teacher. Read the book and I reccomend khanacademy.org, there are videos that will help a but. Also, utilize the ti-84/89 website and how-tos for simple calculations such as stdeviation, and binomial distribution. If you can get out of having him, do it, you WILL NOT GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH WITH HIM AS A TEACHER

Class is very tough. You have to learn it on your own. If you go to class and ask questions and can answer his questions when he calls you out you will be okay. Just get him to like you

Comment:

Tells stories in class. For my section he tested out a program 20 percent of which was from stat 2. He was aware of this and didn't teach the material. He also didn't curve it based on that. (curve was maybe 1%, if that). This man never should have been employed as a teacher. Be prepared to teach yourself.

Comment:

This class is very difficult and is almost totally self taught, but Gebhart is a really nice guy. All these people that say they don't like him didn't go to class because they were intimidated by him and then want to whine over their grade. I piece of advice, stay after class one day and get to know him and read the book before class everytime.

Comment:

Your grade is based on 3 tests and a program called ALEKS. Your grade on ALEKS is based on the "Course Mastery" number (x/97) under Assessment Mode in the Reports Section. There is also a curve, but he won't talk about it and you shouldn't depend on it. Overall, a really tough class because you have to teach yourself everything.
