Comment:

He's awesome and made Statistics a lot less boring! Does not read from the textbook and engage students to think about real-life applications. The homework given is just the right amount and students can practice more from the book if they want to. Strongly recommends him!

Comment:

You have to read a lot, and memorize the terms and definitions. Read the textbook before going to class to participate. Math part was easy, but the terms and definitions were a bit tricky. He does know who is absent and tardy. No final exam. Some modules at the end; maybe, just maybe, an extra credit to help you a bit.

Comment:

Prof. Zaarour cares a lot about his students understanding basic stats, so he doesn't mess around. You will work hard in this class and put in extra time outside of class to practice the concepts through problems, if you don't you will not do well. Practice, practice, practice. The textbook is required but I wish he would allow us to use an older

Great class! Although I was really nervous to take a stats course, Proessor Z is great and he even made stats fun! Really interactive class with good lectures and class projects.

Prof Z is an amazing professor! He makes subjects that might not be so exciting, relevant and easy to understand. Lectures are very interactive and lively which is such a plus in those long classes.

Comment:

While Professor Zaarour may be fine for undergraduates, if you are a graduate student and you have a choice, I would avoid him. He is incredibly condescending and cannot comprehend that his students are adults. I thought that I had already met the most-self important professors on the earth at Northeastern, but Professor Zaarour takes the cake.

Nice, straight-forward, and respected. Overall a very good professor who tries to apply what he teaches to class, so that you're able to understand better. Not the easiest class, but If you attend and study expect above a B.

Zaarour is a great stats teacher! Everything you need to know for exams is taught in class, so show up, do the homework, and do the practice problems he gives you before the exams and you'll find it easy. Not a lot of homework, and never read the textbook- I just took good notes in class and was set.

Comment:

I think he would honestly be a better professor for purely quantitative topics, like math or stats. He is not good at teaching theory and goes directly from the book. Classes are boring, but tests are straightforward. Easy grader. He's a nice guy, but had an average experience

Comment:

He is a nice guy, however his lectures are boring and he reads directly from the book. His class is mostly quantitative, however tests are largely theory. Class time and work do not translate to the tests themselves.
