2 midterms and a final. 9 homework assignments (you get a month to complete each). 5 easy excel assignments. 1 short case study report. 3 extra credit quizzes. Try and pad your grade before final! Got D on first test B on the 2nd and a D on the final. Still passed due to 100% on hw and quizzes.

2 midterms and a final, about 9 homework assignments other than the excel part. Got a D on my first test and a B on the next two tests ended up with a B in the class. Great professor, will help if you go an ask him. He posts videos that help, take this class online, so much easier.

Dr. Kapoor is a nice man, but this class is EXTREMELY difficult. Be ready to spend 30+ hours a week on this class alone.

For an online class Kapoor did well in giving you everything you need to pass. Short HW, a case study, e/c quizzes. Only used book a couple times. I'm generally a decent student who does put in effort to study, I ended up with a 79% by writing out hw problems, reading all slides, watching his ex videos, verify problems in excel, hope this helps.

This class didn't seem easy at first, but that's only because I didn't study well enough for the first midterm. But after that I did great on the other exams. His exams are not hard at all if you read his Powerpoints and do the practice problems he gives you. Make sure you do the extra credit because it really does help. He answers emails quickly!

Lectures are very clear and organized. Read his online material, it will help you do well in the class. Read instructions carefully. The course has two portions, Excel and Statistics. Statistics is based on Excel.

Great teacher. Tells you exactly what is going to be on the exam (through practice test and lectures). If you don't pay attention it will be very tough because things build off of each other. With that being said, put in a little effort (It is an core business class), go to office hours, and you'll be good.

Good professor overall. Clear and concise. Makes sense when giving lectures. You really have to study because the material itself is hard.

Dr. Kapoor is a really nice person. The hardest part of the class is the material itself. He gives you a month or so to finish each set of homework. He has lecture videos available for each chapter. Allows a cheat sheet which helped a ton during tests. All tests (2 midterms, 1 final) were on campus. The course was very organized and clear.

I admit I pretty much screwed up by not doing anything every week for this class. Being online, you really need to be diligent to be able to keep up with the material. Exams are tough but you get a cheat sheet. I recommend watching his lecture videos weekly to understand the material instead of learning from the textbook (steps were not clear).

Given that this hard topic is hard to learn even more when you dont have direct face to face time with the professor - I got a lot from watching the recordings several times until I understood the concept. The professor was very helpful and was willing to meet a different times to go over any questions.

This was the first time I have taken an online course where the professor uploaded video lectures. Dr. Kapoors video lecture proved to be extremely helpful when it came to understanding concepts in statistics and with the online homeworkquizzes. I absolutely LOVED that he went over many examples from each chapter and homework questions. This help

Comment:
I don't recommend him. 1 Project+Online HW&Quizzes+3 Tests The tests were pretty hard. You get 1 cheat sheet. Some of the questions were similar to the quizzes and hw. His video lectures are out of date, hard to see and understand since they were from 2007 : The textbook is EXTREMELY vague and does not have solution explanations :'(

Exams are not easy. First one is easiest and the next 2 are hard. Make sure to study a lot for them. Textbook is confusing but the online lectures are very good. I did not understand anything until I listened to the lectures. Project, homework and online quizzes are relatively easy. Focus most of your time on the exams for sure. Recommend him.

While this is an online class, the exams are given on campus. Professor Kapoor tapes his lectures and posts them online. While he will answer your questions via e-mail or the class forum, he also has office hours if you need them. Most of the points in the class come from the midterms and final. Do the homework and STUDY!

Professor Kapoor is a great instructor. The course subject is tough, but you can achieve success if you stay on track with lectures, homework assignments and quizzes. I can usually glean information without having to study; not the case with this class. I studied very hard for each exam and will end up with an A or A+.

As long as you pay attention to his lectures, and follow with the examples and do the homework, you will understand the material and get an A
