Comment:

He's pretty awful. Before COVID when i had him in person, if i attended the lectures i was doing pretty decent, they were SO boring though. Now that it's online, we have no zoom classes and he only records lectures. Doing well on the homework is the only thing that has kept my grade afloat. Pretty unpleasant to talk to also.. makes you feel dumb.

Comment:

One of the worst professors I have ever had... ever. Make sure to do ALL the homework as this is the only way to cushion your grade. Expect to teach yourself everything because his lectures are just a click through of slides with almost no in class practice at all. The exams are based off the hw so honestly just memorize the hw as best you can.

Comment:

This class was one of the best classes I've taken at UT so far. Professor Papp is great and the way the class is set up makes it super easy to do well, if you put the effort in. Tests are based off of the exact questions from the homework, so if you study the homework, you'll do well. Definitely recommend taking him for Stats!

Comment:

This class was basically do your homework, you will succeed on your tests. Do it online and the tests are on the same online resource, using the same questions as homework problems. Definitely a lot of homework but an easy way to cushion your grade. Definitely not the most interesting class or professor but gotta push thru

Nice guy but absolutely awful teacher. Was doing pretty well in stats class all year but his tests are hard. for third exam he said it would be 20 questions & easier than the hw (which is online)but instead he made it 25 questions & same difficulty as HW. DO NOT TAKE HIM his tests are hard the HW takes at least 6 hours, worst teacher ive had at UT

Comment:

If you want to learn how to code, do not take Papp. If you want to memorize facts off a PowerPoint for the test then teach yourself how to code for the projects, definitely take him. He literally does not teach you how to code, then expects you to be able to code elaborate projects. They must really have a lack of ITM professors.

Comment:

I took Papp for Advanced App Development, and I can confidently say I barely know a thing more about coding than when I started the class. His way of teaching you coding is by reading off a PowerPoint for 4 hours straight and apparently expecting you to just pick it up with no hands-on practice. Luckily I already know how to code.

Comment:

I don't recommend him. I got an AB in his class, but it was because I had to teach myself from the mystatlab hw. He ignores emails, he's rude and does not actually care about his students. He has no patience and he has yelled at students in my class for asking simple questions. I love statistics, but his attitude ruined the class.

do not do not do not do not do not do not do not do not take him. this is your only warning and it is the fairest warning of them all. if you want to spend 4+ hours on homework take him and have fun. if you're taking other classes DO NOT TAKE HIM. worst professor out there, shouldn't have a job. do not take him.

Comment:

Great teacher. I did all the HW and went to see him when I was stuck. He worked the problems with me and showed me what I was doing wrong. So far, I have high grades on 3 exams. HW is easy since you can do it as many times as you want and get a 100! If I can do well on the last exam, the final is optional. Go to class, do the HW and you're OK

Comment:

When I found out I had Dr. Papp I was pretty upset, but I would recommend him. His exams are tough but not impossible. If you go to office hours you should be fine, but if you do not have time for that, then I say look for someone else. His exams aren't the hardest thing, but they aren't the easiest. 20 questions, go to class and you will pass.

Comment:

He does not teach the course, he simply reads off of the powerpoints and draws questions directly from Mystatlab. If you are good with uniformity like this, he may be an acceptable professor for you, but if you need a TEACHER, than he is not the professor for you. Taking this class in person is like taking an online course with no help.

Comment:

Terrible in the beginning of the semester but got easier as time passed, probably because he realized he was being too hard on us. I basically taught myself everything. He didn't teach to the HWs or tests so class was pretty pointless. He would spend an hour doing one problem! He helped by removing the difficult online quizzes which I appreciated!

Comment:

The lectures of the class were hard to follow, I did well in the class by teaching myself through the examples on the online homework. He is very stuck in his ways and thinks that he knows everything, ended up doing the class some favors by removing quiz grades and allowing the homework's to be worth more of your grade.

Comment:

Papp is undoubtedly the worst professor I've ever had through my junior year of college. He simply doesn't teach, during test reviews he only confused the class more due to errors in his calculations. HW takes forever and is online. Tests are online and you take 4 of them, 5 if u take the optional final. He messes up grades consistently. Irritable
