Brilliant math mind; full & thorough understanding of his field. Don't bother w/ the book. Grades are a marathon, not a sprint: there may be a quiz or two on which you feel he grades harshly, but, over the long haul, he is fair. Come to class & pay attention, & you can earn a good grade-& have at least a few moments where you laugh your butt off.

Comment:

Does not take attendance, but going to class would be helpful. You do not need your textbook at all. From day 1, be prepared to pay attention in order to pass. His tests are hard - tutoring became very helpful before tests. He does statistics for fun, so you know this guy knows his stuff. Just pay attention in class and do all the practice sheets.

Comment:

I just took this guy for statistics 1200 and he was awful, over half the class dropped at the mid point. He lives for stats and most of us who takes this class are not math majors. His test are much harder than other professors. He has to curve like hell for students to pass. Take another professor for this class!

Also, I took this class once before so I didn't need the textbook. Just a heads up, you might not need the textbook at all. But it's definitely a good reference tool though.

Comment:

Dr. Trimboli is with a doubt THE BEST. He goes over everything step by step and repeats/clarify anything for you! He goes over the material on the quizzes and final exam the day of. He grades fair and drops the lowest 4 quiz grades. I would have did better if I watched out for the little mistakes! He is HILARIOUS and I'd recommend him any day!

Comment:

He is very knowledgeable and NEVER uses a textbook so don't waste money buying one (unless you want to refer to it). I have seen him be extremely rude and confrontational toward a special needs student AND the students' mother. It was enough to make anybody puke. He is a good teacher but has no people skills.

Comment:

There are probably easier profs to take stats from but he is not bad. I am horrible at math but came out of the class with a B, however this was mostly due to going to MARC tutoring. He doesn't use the book much except for assigning homework - it's not graded or checked but it will help you prepare for the test.

He is a laid back prof. He tells you what is exactly on the tests and what is expected of you. He teaches in a way that makes math understandable for everyone. (and I do mean everyone) The book was not needed for this class. If you show up, pay attention, and do the handouts, then you are sure to pass the class.

Comment:

I have taken for all 3 of my math classes. Math 1100,1101, and 1200. He is not easy but he does make the work understandable. The only negative about him is he does take off points for for little things like not putting a % sign or something like that. Please make complete sentences. He will count off.

I had him for maymester. He is an awesome teacher. He teaches in a way that is very easy to comprehend the material. Test are not real hard, but not real easy either. Shows you how to do everything on the calculator and also by hand. Real good personality, not a strict teacher. After you turn in your test he hands you the answers. Great teacher.

I had Dr. Trimboli for Stats. I really enjoyed his class. It was a laid back environment & he teaches well. There is no need to purchse the book because he gives you multiple handouts to work. If you attend class & pay attention, stats is an easy class. He tells you EXACTLY what he wants on the tests. He is a great professor!

Comment:

An AWESOME professor. He teaches you what you need to know and clearly shows what he expects on the tests. The only crappy part is that there are 3 tests, and the first one (probability) and absurdly difficult. In fact, he even tells everyone that no one will make over a 90%. Study, ask questions, and you'll do fine. Book not needed.

Comment:

This is a great Professor. I did't even like math before i took him, but after taking him for Math modeling and college Algebra, I have come to love math.He's just a great professor and very easy to understand. You just have to pay attention and if you dont understand anything, you can ask him to explain again.

Comment:

I have taken him for 2 Statistics classes now and I plan to have him for 2 more. He has an enjoyable personality, though might rub you the wrong way. His tests might seem harder in later classes, but even he admits they're hard stuff. He works to get you out of the class, though not undeservingly. He's a really good teacher.

Comment:

Arrives at the absolute second the class starts and leaves at the second the class period ends. Almost completely unapproachable, or at least gives the impression of it. He does not like to be corrected by his students; very defensive. If you have 'sensitive' ears, avoid his class... cusses like a sailor.

Great teacher. He teaches statistics in away that it is easy to remember. Paying attention in class is the most important thing. No real memorization is required. He curves the grades at the end.
