Comment:

STAT 332 was one of the hardest classes I've taken at Case, and many of the homework assignments took HOURS. However, Wojbor is always willing to go out of his way to help students, he makes special office hours if you ask and will often give homework extensions. Hard class, but Wojbor is such a great and funny guy!

Comment:

He tells a lot of stories and would share with us the movies he was watching with his wife. Lectures get harder and harder throughout the semester, and you either have to pay 100% attention or do a lot of reading in order to do the projects. Find yourself a good group for the first group project and keep discussing with them for the individual ones

Comment:

The course has minimal student involvement. Dr. Woyczynski gives good and detailed lectures and you either absorb them or don't. There are a handful of projects that are fairly simple to complete, but otherwise your understanding is only gaged and aided by your own interest.

Comment:

This is not a statistics class or a mathematics class because very few of the work is reasonable to do by hand with the tools given. You either spend hours doing it or you realize that coding is simply the only option that really exists.

Comment:

More of a coding class than a statistics class. I feel as though I did not learn any statistics throughout the year, only how to code in Mathematica. He's a great person, but he is not the best teacher.

Comment:

I didn't understand a concept so I went to his office hours for help. When I asked my question, he gave me a look like I was dumb for not already knowing, and told me to ask my classmates. He expects you to know material not covered in his book, and the mathematica projects can take forever if you don't know how to program in mathematica.

Comment:

Make sure you do well on the homework and on the midterm. The second Test is the Final and is not easy. Going to the review sessions before the two Tests is a must. HW is 50% of the final grade and on the end a total of 85% or above is an A. Very cool and reasonable Professor, one of the best at Case.

This class included the hardest concepts for me to understand. I even thought it was harder than EECS 246, but I still got an A without putting any extra effort into the class than any other!

Good professor, willing to work with you outside of class if you need it. Homeworks can be time consuming, but you learn the material well from them.

His book/lecture notes needs improvement and his lecture was pretty much just out of the book. But he's a nice guy who likes the students.
