Comment:

Robin is an amazing prof. His lectures both in class and online are very organized and clear. He explains everything in the class accurately, so it's better to attend the classes. His exams are straightforward but he is not an easy grader. Attend the classes and read the notes and you will be fine.

Comment:

All his notes and exercises are on d2l so you don't need to buy the textbook. Attendance is not mandatory, but he explains the notes so you should attend the lectures. Not everything is explained in lectures so remember to read the notes on d2l. Susanto is a great teacher, and I never had trouble understanding a concept thanks to him.

Comment:

Robin is a nice guy, but his lectures are extremely dry with no breaks at all. I honestly could never listen to a full lecture without tuning out, but he posts notes online which helps. His in-class explanations have so many gaps in them so you really do need to refer to the uploaded notes. He throws pop quizzes at you so often you want to scream.

Robin Susanto is a very good teacher and is well respected. His lectures are easy to understand and follow. (if you listen in class) The notes are also well organized. However, projects may be challenging if you don't keep up with your work.

Comment:

Never take his class, it's hard to pass. doesn't explain well, complicated examples, notes are totally different from lectures. if you are unfamiliar to Statistics so never take otherwise you won't pass because he doesn't explain basics. Two midterms and one final so no chances to get marks easily until unless you are excellent in Statistics.

STATS2281. Robin is a nice person and ok teacher. Sometimes he fails to explain concepts clearly, so be ready to do a lot of research on your own. There are few homeworks. Quizzes are almost impossible. Pop-quiz may cover stuff you learned 15 mins ago. MTs are doable, no breaks, becomes hell if it is your 3rd class in a day.

Comment:

Robin teaches everything you need to know well. The textbook was a free version online that we could use for extra help and practice questions. However, do some extra studying and practice on the topics because he usually gives one quiz a week and sometimes the questions are a bit harder than the practice ones done in class.

Robin is very helpful, he gives organized notes and clear explanations, the quizzes can help you prepare for the midterms, and he lets us do some of the quizzes in pairs. The midterms are not too hard, he is also a nice grader, I would definitely recommend him to my friends.

Robin's a nice guy and is very patient. He teaches okay but his notes are so disorganized. He gives a lot of homework and the occasional pop quiz. His tests are hard because he likes to put a "twist" on them

The content of the course I found was a bit challenging, but he explains it pretty clear and gives good examples. He does not give exact dates of when quizzes are, but will tell you there will be a quiz some time next week. Allows us to do quizzes and assignment in pairs which is nice.

Robin is an amazing teacher. He actually teaches, makes sure the students understand the concept. He is bad with e-mails, so try to get all the answers in person. Expect pop quizzes. Midterms are ok. Final is super long so make sure u practice a lot on your own to feel comfortable with any testing.

Great prof for stats! I would recommend to students who have no background in stats. He explains the concepts clearly by breaking them down into 5 simple steps. His quizzes and exams are based on the exercises on D2L. Textbook is completely useless. You just look at his notes. Overall, awesome prof! Beware he does give pop quizzes.

I took Stats 1124 for the 2 times with 2 different profs. Robin was much helpful. This course may not be easy for some people, but Robin's notes will make you at least get C+ if you follow him. His lectures are long but stay with him. Make sure you do exercises in the book and in his notes. Those are very helpful for his midterms and final.

Exceptional prof. Textbook is not necessary because his notes are so good. Listen in class and you won't have to study much at home. Exams are easy if you've been paying attention.

If you need at least a C+ in stats I recommend Robin! Group quizzes, homework and project. Very few quizzes, super easy. Easy marker for final project as well. Midterms are okay if you know your stuff. His hand writing is super clear and covers exactly what you need to know. He doesn't respond to emails so if you need help you have to go to him.

Comment:

Robin is confusing and disorganized, especially during his lectures as his notes don't clearly teach you how to do them. He talks throughout the whole class and sometimes doesn't give you breaks, so you have to go out by yourself. There's quite a bit homework and he gives pop quizzes. Wouldn't recommend for weak math students.
