My favorite stats professor of all time. Russ' lectures are hilarious, and he gives you a great impression of what it's like to be a statistician in the real world. Office hours were really helpful.

Comment:

The course itself is fine but it was taught in such an unorganized way that the material seemed harder than it really way. Those who did well attended multiple TA hours to get help on the problem sets. He also did not follow syllabus. I would not recommend taking any course with him.

Comment:

As a stats major, this man is the worst stats professor I've ever had. He posts no lectures online and often gets sassy with students when they ask for help. He goes on random rants about his life in the middle of class and awkwardly calls on people for no reason. Avoid this class.

Comment:

I mean I get it, he's a good guy, but there's always a but. He never answers questions on piazza, refuses to post notes online, requests you to spend money printing out lecture notes, and wouldn't admit that there is error on final formula sheet (yeah someone asked this and he was like "all are correct). I learned a lot through hw, but not from him

Comment:

-runs over lectures-need to print out notes almost every lecture-need to come to class to write notes because not put online-started prelim 45 min late-only offered makeup for second prelim at one time because TA's wanted to leave for spring break and it was during day so had to miss class-syllabus not up to date-put incorrect solutions out to lab

Comment:

One of the worst lecturer I've had for a biostat class at Cornell. No record videos and filled lecture notes. What he explains in lecture is really unclear and difficult to follow. Really unhelpful in Piazza. Avoid if possible.

very very good prof. hard subject, but he makes it understandable. people who complain that it's pointless don't understand business from a broader view. business is not just talk, but many hotelies don't get it.

Comment:

Russ tries really hard but his class can be painful and it's hard to ask questions. The homeworks are really hard and time consuming (I spent 5 hours on them a piece and there are 10). You really need to go to section and office hours to get the full benefit of this class unless you are just good at stats. The class is frustrating bc is only 2 cred

Comment:

Russ is a very intelligent guy, particularly in his field of study. He is approachable and encouraging to all his students (poor performers included). Not only is his grading fair but he also offers a great deal of additional assistance via personal OH. While Stats is difficult for some, Russ tries to make the subject as applicable as possible.

Comment:

This class is the worst. Why do hotelies need to know paired t-test beats me. He is probably one of the worst profs at the Hotel school. Unfortunately the course is a requirement but try to avoid him if possible.

Comment:

are you guys on something? russ is definitely enthusiastic, but by no means on the top of his game. he still has a LOT to do to get used to the hotel school and his teaching methods left most of my class confused. his class has too much work compared to other 3 credit courses. & he still hasn't worked out the balance between math and theory...

Comment:

Undoubtedly the best professor I have ever had. When I came to Cornell, I was not interested in math. After several weeks of biometry with Russ, he convinced me to switch over to his graduate class. 3 years later, I am now a biometry major. Russ, your teaching has changed my life. Thank you.

Comment:

Russ is terrific. He took some getting used to, coming from the Ag school and all, and I gotta say our class didn't make him feel that welcome initially. However once we got into the material, it was smooth sailing. We can talk like statisticians now.. kind of.

Russ is the best! He makes data analysis fun. His examples of lampricide and fish are very entertaining. The lecture time just flies by without you even knowing, and believe it or not, you want more.
