Comment:

Math has not always been my friend but professor Jensen really helped me understand. As long as you do the homework and ask questions when you feel lost you can pass this class. Jensen took his time and I did not feel super rushed through the material.

Comment:

The class was very easy as Jensen took the time to thoroughly explain concepts and answer any questions that anyone had. Homework is fairly light and tests were pretty easy as he would give the formulas instead of having us memorize it which I found nice. Just show up to class everyday, listen to the lectures, do the homework, and you'll get an A.

Jensen is a wonderful choice for stats. He makes the material easy to understand and really tries to make sure that everyone is following. Attendance isn't mandatory but it is very easy to get left behind. I had his class at 7:30 am and he taught well enough that I was able to stay awake throughout the whole class.

Comment:

Professor Jensen is great, he explains the material well, he's funny (a rare trait among Math professors) and he's willing to go over stuff if you aren't getting it. His tests are difficult but if you do your homework and study well for them they shouldn't be anything in your way of getting an A.

Comment:

I took this class and was pleasantly surprised. He is one of the best math professors Ive had. He didnt make us memorize every formula like Ive experienced in prior math classes. He wanted us to know how to use them. As long as you go to lectures and actually do the homework its an easy class.

Not much homework at all which is appreciated. He's really kind and easy to talk to. He teaches the material clearly and has no problem rephrasing the lecture to suit a student's needs. I took his class spring18 and couldn't find him again in fall18 or else I would have taken him again without a thought.

Comment:

Had a Mon-Wed-Fri class with him and he did a great job preparing the class for homework and tests. During his lectures, he would pick even number questions out of the book and walk through them, then you would go home and do some of the odds for homework. On the test review days, he'd go over exactly what to expect on the tests. Great professor!

Comment:

Took this class with a different teacher and completely failed, retook this class with Jensen and he made the class so much easier, he will go over all the material until you understand it instead of rushing through it. He does reviews for the tests and goes over everything that will be on them. Definitely would recommend taking him!

Straightforward lectures & very easy to follow. He goes over everything, and anything you ask. Quiet voice so I would sit up front, reminds me of Mister Rogers. Grades HW as participation, doesn't actually check answers. Always available and ready during office hours, if you miss a lecture he lets you sits in his other classes. My absolute favorite

Professor Jensen is a good teacher and a likeable character. His homework load is neither too much nor too less. His morning lectures could be really really boring, but you will not be able to succeed without them.

I loved Jensen. He's an incredibly kind and caring man. He's very much a classic nerdy math teacher. He kind of feels like a dad. He's always available to help you if you're struggling. I had to drop for personal reasons and nothing to do with him. Math is a tough subject but he does his best to help you understand. Utilize his office hours!

Comment:

Professor Jensen is not a good explainer. he doesnt break things down. No extra credit work because its based on your performance so if your performance during test suck then you wont pass. His lessons dont go in order which is super confusing. If you want to pass I highly recommend finding another teacher.

Jensen is the best math prof you will find. He is a real gem. Makes math hilarious. If you ask him something, he will explain million different ways until you get it. Offers extra credit. Clear grading criteria. Tells you exactly what's gonna be on the test. It's hard to fail his class and his tests if you do all the homework. Want him for CalcII.

calculus is not an easy class. I dropped my MATH400 last semester with W because I was not understanding anything and the professor was not teaching well, at all. This semester I took Waynes class, and I love the way he teaches because I understand almost everything. He is an amazing professor. Very funny and cares so much about each student.

Wayne is one of the best professors I have had. Hes lectures are very clear. He answers to all the questions, brings more and more examples just to make it clear for student. He is very positive and always smiling. I also took math370 with him and got an A in class. Hope he teaches math 401 as well.

Jensen has helped me exceed in math, which I hated prior to taking his classes. I sign up for his classes first then plan around it. He's an incredibly nice, kind hearted professor. If you can't learn from Jensen, you should seek a different major/route to get to the level you need. He cant explain a formula so many different ways its amazing.

Comment:

Do not take him if you have never taken Stats before. His tests are so hard and he grades so hard. Tests are 65% of your grade and homework barely counts.
