Very rude! Showed up late to the final and told the class he would curve the final grade by a little but when asked about it yelled delibertly at the student to "get out" of the exam room. Would never EVER take again.

He was very challenging, as were the tests. However, he is incredibly detailed in his lectures and is happy to help if you go to his office.

Comment:

whewww, Prof T is one professor. His emphasis on being exact from the textbook will be grained in your mind by the end of the semester. You get pop quizzes on hw, and if the answer isn't exactly like the way the book does it or you don't put work, you'll get a 0. They're 3 test, formula sheets are allowed, tests are alright, but STUDY! STUDY! STUDY

Comment:

By far the worst professor I have had; spent hours on homework and still struggled to maintain a good average; does not let you use a calculator for the majority of the work; only lets you do problems his way or you get a 0; though we use the textbook for homework, he teaches his own way so whatever type of outside help you try to get - good luck

Comment:

I think that if you are generally good at math and pick things up quickly you will be frustrated with him. If you are less good at math and it takes you more time, you will appreciate how he breaks things down step-by-step and goes over multiple examples. This was the first math class I've taken where I actually understood what was going on.

This professor is a very good professor, yes he is a tough grader but it is because he wants you to learn, im not going to lie i did not study the first 2 exams and i was failing the class because i did the homework but i did not understand it. after i realize that the only option i had was studying and understand the hw i got to a B. Good luck!

Here is the deal. Is his class strict, yes. Is he a hard grader, yes. Is his class hard, no. He tells you from the start what he wants. Do the HW, which the answers are in the book or online, and learn the concepts. Do that and you will not go wrong. Also, he will explain any question if asked. It is not an easy A, but you will learn a lot.

Comment:

He offers NO partial credit and requires labeling for each step (what rule you used) of every problem. If you get the problem right but don't label it, ZERO POINTS. Tests are scary. He gives you quizzes on random questions from the HW and if you don't get it 100% right in his eyes ZERO points. I spent hours on HW and walked away with a 40% for HW

Comment:

As for classes, during a 90-minutes class, you will be given a 3-minutes cellphone break. You are not allowed use during the class. As for assignments, you have better do those because quizzes are from those assignments. As for each test, 20 points equal to 20 points of total grade. Lectures are REALLY boring.

I you have another option, take it. Very Tough grader and even mean sometimes. Bring book to class otherwise he'll freak out. Also, he has a strong accent so it's a little hard to understand him at times. No partial credit you miss something you won't get any points. No assignments, a few pop quizzes and 3 tests.

Comment:

I took STAT200 as a 6 week session in the summer. We few through the content although sometimes he does tend to beat a dead horse when you're ready to just move on. The best way to ace this class is to take great notes, do all the homework in your notebook, make a good cheat sheet of formulas for your tests and you will get a good grade.

Comment:

I literally hated this man for the first half of the semester. After half+ of the class dropped he became pretty cool though. If you have another option, TAKE IT. He does not give partial credit. I took 2 levels of stats already and understand everything and have a B because of his grading. Takes 40 mins to go over 1 problem. Frustrating.

He lets you make a cheat sheet for the test however if you don't know how to do a problem on a test it doesn't matter if you guess and circle the right one he will not give you credit. Lots of homework and boring lectures. I would take someone else.

Overall, the class wasn't too bad. The lectures can be a bit confusing, and sometimes he will draws out the most obvious questions which can be annoying. But as long as you take good notes, do your homework, you really should not struggle in this course at all. His lectures are very thorough.
