This guy is pretty easy, just go to class which might be harder for some people because this class can get boring.

A sweet man, but in the Stats dept. for the wrong reasons. He said he's getting his masters in it cuz no one else gets masters in stats... not cuz he likes it particularly much or is a genius. He reminded me of Forest Gump

A total jerk. Complains about his personal life in class, fudges the grade curve to make himself look good, and is rude and socially inept. He implied that I was lying about my grandmother dying when I missed a class for her funeral!

If you go to class you won't get a bad grade but he admits to randomly assigning grades at the end of the semester. Gets off topic. Tries to philosophize.

lets you use notes for test, but end of semester makes up grades. Easy class to do ok in, but he dropped me from an A to an A- and wouldn't explain to me why. Another bummer is he is possibly the most boring teacher at Pitt.

Get to use all your notes for the tests, as long as you come to class you'll get a good grade because he fails those that dont go to class
