Professor Smalley is a real gem at UHD. He makes math which is my weakest subject doable and bearable with his grading criteria and materials provided for us to study. He gives us notes on bb and allow us to use two cheat sheet on two exams and a take home exam. He drop lowest of 3 His grading criteria is set for us to be successful in this class.

Me & any type math just doesn't mix. lol that's why difficulty level is a 5. 1 excel project, 3 exams, 1 final which is optional will only need to take if you did bad on exams n project. He gives you all materials you will need on BB. Ask questions he is helpful. Communicate with your classmates to get through this class.

You won't regret taking him! He is willing to help whenever you have questions. There is 3 exams and final, he lets you use a cheat sheet for the exams, if you write good notes you should do just fine on the exams and study the reviews he gives.

I drove almost 40 mins on a Saturday to take this nearly 3 hour long class LOL. That being said, I'm glad I took him because he teaches the material in an easy way to understand. He provides everything you need to pass, including test reviews and notes. He drops the lowest test and curves them as well. Take him if you can!!

I took this class online. I'm not good in math but he provide videos that are step by step, He gives you the opportunity to do well in his class. Only 3 exams and a online assignment. You are almost guaranteed to get an on two of the four, if you follow the instructions. Final optional but pretty easy.

I hadn't taken a math class in years! So getting back to finish my last 2 yrs I was nervous. Class was easy! Lectures are on youtube. Just do the problems WITH him and you will learn the formulas. He gives you the book and calculator to use online. He gives PLENTY of time to complete the test. DO THE REVIEW and you will breeze through the exams.

He posts everything you need on BB, and his lecture notes are really helpful. Don't need to buy textbook, just use his notes and you can get an A. Reviews are the same as the test (Except the final). No extra credit, no attendance needed. Super easy teacher, but this isn't an easy class if you don't work.

As long as you apply yourself, this class (Stats) shouldn't be too difficult. Smalley provides curves to tests and extended due dates for the my math lab, at the end of the semester. He also tends to be available before class, about an hour or so, for any questions. Great guy.

This is my second time taking stats and I am so glad that I chose Professor Smalley. He explains the material in a way that you will understand it even if you are not that great in math. It's not an easy class but it helps that he cares if his students understand the material.

Great professor, made STATS not so scary. Don't fall behind on the HW (not, because of the grade, but because you will get lost). 3 test, one is a take home. MUST get a minimum of 20 questions right on the final to pass the class. Would def take him again, gives clears notes and will answer all your questions. TAKE HIM, you won't regret it.
