Comment:

2 midterms, 1 final. around 8 hws total on mylab which was esp annoying but manageable. tbh i didnt pay attention in class but did well on midterms bc i reviewed the ppts. final was hard so make sure u know how to do problems and be able to use and apply certain numbers on excel bc thats most of the final. boring class but lets u out 30mins early.

Comment:

lectures are practically useless, be prepared to teach yourself. he uses 30 to teach and then says u can leave. as long as u sign ur name on the sign in sheet ur good to go and u can dip. just make sure u learn how to use the z and t charts , overall not the worst but u have to put in work. kahn academy....

Comment:

He seems very good at first, but the more we progressed into the chapters the more confusing he is. 2 tests which are very manageable and a final that is significantly difficult but was curved. His accent is bearable but he was a bit scattered in lectures and I didn't receive much clarification on the subjects even when asked on the harder topics.

His exams are very tricky. Bad at teaching, you will not be able to understand his heavy accent. Lectures are boring, too many life stories

Comment:

He doesn't explain concepts very clearly. He says he is open to any questions, but then berates students if he feels he already explained the topic sufficiently. This is an introductory course, stop telling the students it is all very simple. These concepts can be challenging for those who are new to it. Also, no visual aids during lectures.

Comment:

Ok, his accent isn't that terrible. You may need clarification on a word or two but you'll get it after. Homework is given online, just do it.2 test and a final. Doing homework may help you past the test. Nice person and wants you to understand. ask questions if you do not understand.

Professor Osahan is a great professor. He makes sure you understand the material and will take questions. Just take notes during his lectures and study them as well as my stats lab.

Comment:

He does have a strong accent so those who can't learn with that I suggest to find some one who suits you. He teaches very well to where you understand. If you study and practice problems at home you will pass! He does lots of problems and many examples. His test questions come from the final math review sheet , not same questions but same steps.

Comment:

Attending his lectures are a must. Since the professor usually covers about 2 chapters per lecture, missing even one will leave you behind (I learned the hard way). DO NO SLACK OFF IN THIS COURSE. It is needed for Zicklin and what we learn is very useful for when we enter the labor force (regressions, deviations, distributions, confidence-interval)

Comment:

Get over it with the accent, if anything the accent makes you play closer attention :p Easy professor, very fair, cares that his students pass. Available after class for extra help if needed. Have to buy the textbook and my stat lab package. My stat lab is a pain but it can help you do better in the course. He puts review q's on blackboard

2 midterms, and 1 final - he designs everything himself and is a great teacher! slightly hard to understand because of the accent but overall I would definitely take him again. He also doesnt keep everyone forever in the 3 hour sessions, people are out within 1.5 hour.

He is a terrible professor. Do not expect to learn anything. His accent makes it impossible to understand the material. He does not give any feedback, and his lectures are extremely long and boring

Comment:

STA 2000 is hard. Osahan and his accent don't make it easy. 2 midterms (remotely easy with good studying) and one final (extremely hard, but he curves like crazy). The final was nothing like the first 2 tests at all (seriously, the question format changed, got tougher, etc). Thought I failed the final with tons of studying. He curved a lot I guess.

Comment:

Statistics is a tough topic on its own, Professor Osahan makes it very simple. His accent is a little difficult at first but you get the hang of it. The guy is hilarious and really does his best to simplify the topic. Excellent guy and great teacher, but the class is difficult

He has a very strong accent which makes it difficult to understand, when he goes through material its not clear step by step, i really make the effort to understand but still left clueless, a positive thing would be that hes really kind

Comment:

Cool guy with a good sense of humor. There are a few midterms and a final, as well as some online homework but you don't really have to do it. Midterms are easy as long as you show up to each class bc he teaches exactly what's on it. Final is tricky because it is NOTHING like his midterms, it's much more difficult. Go to tutoring for that

Comment:

Prof. Osahan is very nice, funny, and cool. His teaching style is very clear and he goes in a steady- slow pace. There are 2 exams (25%) and 1 final (40%), which is very hard (made by dept.). Fortunately, I think he curve. But you must study and you will def. do well. I recommend him.

The midterms are easy, but the final was departmental and were not prepared for it. The final is difficult, but it was curved. He has a heavy accent making him difficult to understand at times. Not helpful keeps repeating that he is an adj prof and if we have any questions to go to the department.take someoneelse if yiu want to learn at least smtg
