Comment:

Mee is the worst professor I have ever had in my 6 years of undergrad/grad school. He is extremely ambiguous, and gives you an unreasonably small amount of time to complete homeworks/projects. He gives you no guidance or help at all if you go to his office hours. He grades unnecessarily hard and can't even give the correct query/data half the time.

Comment:

He is one of the worst lecturer's I've ever had. Boring with little to no substance. Slides are busy and just copied from the text. HW is ambiguous and not clear on what he's looking for, leading to poor grades. Spent most of my time just deciphering the questions. This is a class I would have enjoyed if there was any form of direction/teaching.

If you show up most and do most of the homework you should pass. Professor Mee is a brilliant man and awesome teacher. Highly recommend taking his FYS Class

I took Mee's "The Question of God" class, and he is a really good teacher and very nice. The class was pretty easy, you have to just read a lot about C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud.

He is an amazing teacher and is good for students in higher programs. Great knowledge. May not suit 201 but excellent for 571 and 573

He can be cryptic in his communication, but so is Statistics! It's about getting into the mindset of a statistician, which is difficult at first.

Comment:

He's terrible and is one of the worst lecturers ever. Don't bother trying to get help because he's such a data head that he doesn't know how to actually explain anything. I was really interested in this class and he ruined it all for me. Don't take him.

You need study by your own. The classes are not so useful. The professor just tries to show off.

Comment:

This guy is absolutely the worst. He's not helpful, provides awful explanations, grades very harshly, and is condescending. Stay away from him at all costs. I actually really wanted to take this class, but he made my last semester of college a living hell.

Extremely nice guy. Terrible instructor. Bad at answering questions, grading, making tests, giving appropriate amounts of homework, and (the big one) teaching stats. I didn't retain a lick of stats. Avoid!

Comment:

Prof. Mee is kind of scatterbrained when trying to communicate his ideas. The info is easy enough to learn on your own, which I had to do. Online HW is a pain, but he doesn't harp on attendance or give too many in-class quizzes.

He will go out of his way to help students understand (his door is always open). Very nice and always smiles. We need more professors like this one.

This was a good course. It took a good bit of effort if you wanted to get an A, but it was well worth it. A definite must for any statistics student that is looking for a job in industry.

The class is difficult to understand sometimes, but I figured everything out from reading the book. Mee has a good personality, but his lectures can run dry sometimes. He grades well and he will help if you ask.

The information in this class is great. I would just suggest taking it from another professor. He is difficult for the sake of being difficult. Take a professor that has had some real world working experience.

Comment:

I understand those negative feedbacks and this class can probably be taught in an easier way. But I have to say Dr. Mee is very knowledgeable and all the assignments are very useful. If you really want to learn this topic instead of just looking for a good grade, this is an excellent course to take.

Do not take a course from this guy! He will only screw you on your grade. He acts nice in person and grades like a complete jerk. Don't take his course!
