Comment:

i think he's got the wrong idea by dividing the percentages up for grading so much because this detracts from actual interest in learning; a problem common in education today. You'll find yourself spending hours taking notes and journaling. ALWAYS make sure to double check your work in this class. Eventually it'll become unforgiving.

Comment:

In all honesty, Rick has been the best instructor I've EVER had. The work is challenging but you just have to meet him halfway. He's very vocal about the help he offers. I don't know how people can speak negative about someone who genuinely cares? Just show up, participate, and ask for help. Rather then expect the teacher just hand you an "A".

Comment:

Rick was the best instructor I have ever had at Skyline College. I read some of the previous reviews on him and I am absolutely disgusted with what people have said about him. He's helpful, always there for you when you need him, and wants EVERYONE TO PASS. Question everything, see him during his office hours, and you will pass no problem!

Comment:

TERRIBLE, HE TALKS TOO MUCH ABOUT UNNECESSARY TOPICS WHICH MAKES IT EASY TO GET LOST IN HIS CLASS. HIS TIME MANAGEMENT SUCKS. HE DOESN'T FOLLOW THE SCHEDULE, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET A 10 MINUTE BREAK BETWEEN HIS CLASSES BUT WE DON'T GET THAT. HE CONTINUES TO LECTURE EVEN AFTER HIS CLASS NOT THINKING ABOUT HIS STUDENTS SCHEDULE. SOME PEOPLE HAVE WORK

Comment:

Professor Hough is approachable, fair and kind but his lectures wont give you everything you need to pass Statistics. The Lock material is amazing. Do the practice questions and video tutorials, show up everyday and you will do well. Statistics is difficult without putting in the study time.

He's very energetic and eager to help his students the best way he can during class, office hours, and the workshops he sets up for students to come in and catch up on homework. Favorable to group work, projects, and participation.

Doesn't teach well at all. Prefers you learn and work in groups and moves extremely fast. You can tell he's trying to be cool and fit in. Group/individual projects incoming for this class.

Heavy on group work - in groups everyday, not everyone's best learning method. He moves very fast with the subject and it's easy to get lost and behind.

Comment:

Waaay too much group work. He doesn't spend enough time explaining the material, he just makes us figure it out on our own in groups. When we ask for help, he tells us to ask another student. Group work can be helpful, but this was too much and I dropped the class because i wasn't learning anything. He's a nice guy but I did not like the class.

He is really nice, but he barely even gives lectures/teaches the class. We have to learn on our own basically. It's really hard..

Comment:

He is a great guy and very enthusiastic and all, but I feel like he isn't teaching and that we, the students, have to learn on our own and it's tough to do that. He talks a lot about things that don't relate to the problem or math but gives support still. BUT he really needs to start spending class time to actually teach us how to do trig.

Comment:

AMAZING TEACHER! I had him for 2 different classes and loved them both. He emphasizes active participation, and a growth mindset to learn math, but really if you are not inherently a math person he will take the time you need to help you understand. Use his office hours, he is always open to help. Few teachers have this passion to help you succeed.

hes a great teacher, you can tell he cares about his students and wants them to pass. He is always ready to help. Homework is online and not due til the end of the semester. If you come to class and are engaged this will be easy A. However, if you are constantly skipping you are going to struggle, i guarantee it.

Rick is a good guy and a good teacher. If you stay on top of your homework and do well on your tests then I'm pretty sure you will be fine. He gives out extra credit things called like equate and then he has other projects too that can easily help your grade too. The class is hella easy if you know basic math.
