Comment:
This professor was a walking nightmare! I began the school year not having a computer, he requires that you have one and buy the excel program which was not in my means at the time. His lectures were confusing and misleading. He would tell you to use Excel but then mark your assignments down if you used it. Just an overall confusing man. BIG L.

Most of the information comes from his class notes which can be hard to understand. He gives good examples and will answer questions if you go to his office hours (right before class). Will give you a decent grade as long as you put effort into assignments and show your work.

I wish that i could select so many more tags for this guy. Amazing lectures would definitely be one to click!! Sometimes you may want to take a little snooze during the lectures, but thats ok!! This class may be hard for you if you don't know how to do math.

This. Man. Needs. Fired. Having transferred schools and my stats class didn't carry over, I had to (sadly) take this man's class. After almost a whole semester of his nonsense (random grading, tests aren't on material we covered, rambling, and constant mistakes) I will be getting a lower grade even after already taking this class one semester ago.

Tough class but is not quite as tough on grading. Just put in a good effort and you should get atleast an A-. Even if you get all the homework questions wrong you will probably still get a 25/30 on assignment if you put in good effort!

Fair grader, no in class tests. Get use to using excel its needed quite a bit. His teaching is not as bad as those say. He is clear, fair, and dosent ask you to kill yourself doing busy work. I spent 5 to 10 hours a week doing homework.

Comment:
It is unfair for students who do not have a fundamental understanding of statistic and blame on the professor. I took his class and I think he did a good job in explaining. This is a grad class so don't expect the professor to teach students on stats fundamentals. You should blame yourself for not doing well.

Not surprised to see that opinions have not changed since 2003. Obviously the school does not take prof. evaluations seriously. Ryan is not clear or helpful. I know as much now as I did before taking the class. Overall: HORRIBLE.

HORRIBLE ! A disgrace to the MBA program and to the Department of Business. Classes are so dull and dry. No motivation to teach at all. Grading does not make sense. Not willing to help. He must go.

Comment:
A very very dry sense of humor. He ususally states what he wants you to learn in the first 20 mins of the first class, then occasionally during the rest of the time. If you miss that, you are scrwd. Let me just tell you now: If you understand the "how", you may still fail. If you understand that & the "why", you will pass.

Very poor teaching skills. Exams are take home, but they are impossible. He is also an inconsistent grader. Should be retired and out golfing.

The man is old and lacks energy to teach classes. Hopefully, he will decide to retire soon. Only reason why he is here is because he is an alumni and has been teaching here at MSM since 1965. Only reason why I am not ripping into him is because I got A.

highly recommend that you not take him. Do anything you can to avoid him if you care about your future business understanding and career. You take nothing from the class and have to deal with him and his mood swings and his arrogance. Horrible teacher!
