Nice guy & wants you to do well. He has 3 exams & a final & they count a huge portion of the grade compared to quizzes (quizzes are mostly take home). He gives you homework but you don't turn it in for completion or for credit. He also gives practice exams & they are similar to the real exams. Practice the practice exams & quizzes & you will be ok.

Not many tests, but they count for a huge portion of your grade. He does however give practice test that mirror the real one which is great. Explains the material and how to do it/what he wants you to do well.

Dr. Bowling is a great teacher. He is able to explain the information effectively and if you need additional assistance in understanding the material he will help you. He does not take attendance, but it is in your best interest to go to class.

He is the best teacher at Bridgewater hands down. He is very helpful and knows what he is talking about. Honestly there is no way he should even be at Bridgewater.

I took statistics with this man, and even though he was an extremely good teacher, I couldn't pay attention because he was soo good looking. Seriously, take his class if you want a professor who is smart, fun, and willing to help.
