Comment:

Take psych stats with any other professor. He grades mostly on vocab that you have to go search the definitions for, and a lot of the time exact book definitions would be wrong. 23 of the exam werent even on math. I have no idea why he has a 4 for helpfulness because I went to office hours and he seemed confused that i was there. Terrible class

Comment:

He's burt out, doesnt care, doesnt teach in class but grades brutally. He's kind of funny but other then that he sucks. Maybe stats is fine but research design is the worst course ive taken at NU. I HATE the man becuase of how poorly he conducted the class. He stops teaching midway through the school year!!!

Comment:

Horrible teacher!!!He makes easy things so complicated. He says examples instead of writing them for a MATH class. You cant follow the book because he teaches it a different way. Students would ask for help he would say " what do you think", students would ask " how do you put formulas in the calculator he would say "figure it out". DO NOT TAKE HIM

This man is a horrible teacher. If you had taken STATS in highschool then you will probably get it, however I didnt , everyone complained about the call and how he taught. He is so scattered, that he becomes confusing ! the Final was really long took all of the two hours, DONT TAKE !!! if you need step by step process.

Comment:

I LOVED him! I had him for Stats and he made it fun and easy. Used real life psych examples which helped to see its real world applications. Answers questions well and will discuss test results if you ask. TAKE HIM! Also an advisor so he is a good man to know. Laid back and easy going. Makes sure you know the material before the test. LOVED him!

Comment:

This guy is hilarious. He will make awkward comments during class that just makes everyone laugh. The homework load isn't terrible, you only have an assignment the week of any of the quizzes. All of the quizzes are the same format, so it's never really a surprise. Quinn is great at teaching, and I learned quite a bit. Good class!

I know a lot of people like him, and he is a nice enough guy, but personally his teaching style is really not for me and coming to this class was painful.

He is a really great person and a pretty good professor. I did well in Stats but I have heard he is one of the most difficult. For an easy A, get some one else.

If you have any high school mathematical background, this class is fluff. I had to take it depsite my AP stat credit (counts for everything BUT stat for psych). But despite the fact that I knew everything already, I still enjoyed the class, cause prof Qu

Requried for Psyc majors. I had taken Stat courses before so it was fairly easy for me but it's not an easy class for those who aren't familiar with statistics. He does a pretty good job of breaking it down though. Typical crazy math professor

Slightly scatterbrained at points, but he knows the material and knows how to break it down for math illiterates like me. The tests are pretty difficult, but manageable if you study.

The material is tricky, but he made it pretty clear and less intimidating. He's always willing to help, and overall he's a pretty cool guy. Everything on the tests he went over in class- no surprises.
