The course requires a large amount of self learning. The professor wasn't able to go through everything in class. I'm selling the textbook Comprehending Behavioral Statistics. Bought as new for over $150. Now selling for $60. If you are interested, please contact me at **********.

*SELLING REQUIRED BOOK AND ACCESS CODE - $85* (comprehending behavioral statistics, 5th) Text **********
Dr. Adi Jaffe is a great lecturer, but can often go off topic when it comes to teaching the material. His tests are hard, but with constant studying from the book it is possible to get an A. Book (he's using the same one for winter) is REQUIRED (going to class isn't). All tests and quizzes come from the book publisher. Good luck :)

Prof Jaffe is such as cool down to earth guy, and he knows how to make the lectures engaging and funny. I would not say that he is a bad teacher at all, like a lot of other people here said. This is a just hard class to teach, and no one takes this class voluntarily, they just take it to get into the major. I think that that is why no one likes this class. Overall, Jaffe made the lectures fun to go to. It was very manageable. There is no homework, just one or two online quizzes due each friday. There's two midterms and a final. 50 multiple choice questions. They are not cumulative. The thing that helped the most was reading the book that corresponds with the lectures. He covers everything pretty quickly in lecture because there is a lot of material, so you will not do very well unless you read the book to further understand the lectures. There's also an online supplement that you can purchase that will give you extra practice problems and mini lectures, but it is not necessary as long as you use the book's practice problems.

I am selling the book if any one is interested. It cost $130 but I'll sell for $60. Contact me at ************* if interested

When I first enrolled in this class I was feeling almost desperate because the other 100A was already full, but it turns out that this class is really different from the bad comments from bruinwalk. Dr. Jaffe is a really cool professor who really wants to communicate with students and tries really hard to explain all concepts. He is really really approachable and would keep explaining one concept until everyone feels okay about it. He has a textbook which is really overpriced. I never read that book and relied entirely on the module and still got an A+. His tests are all really easy, especially if you have taken stats classes before or have basic understanding of hypothesis testing and probability. He allows students to have one cheat sheet and curves the scores whenever needed. Overall, I'll rate A- for this class and A+ for Dr. Jaffe.

I came into class with low expectations after doing extensive reading on Jaffe's negative reviews on here. However, this class really isn't as bad as people make it out to be!

Your grade is broken down as follows: 30% Midterm #1, 30% Midterm #2, 30% Final, 10% Quizzes + Participation (completion of modules and in-class questions on Top Hat and CCLE quizzes, which you get 2 attempts on, and for which the higher score is counted in your grade). The first midterm was extremely easy, the second midterm was harder (the time constraint and more conceptual than calculation questions really killed me, but they ended up curving the test), and the final was somewhere between the two. He gives you a formula sheet and you are allowed an 8.5 x 11" double-sided cheat sheet for each of the three exams.

I always did all the modules as soon as they were released on Top Hat, and in class, even if you don't know the answer to a question Dr. Jaffe assigns, make sure you at least submit an answer (anything!) in order to secure full participation points, because *sometimes* he will close a question and you can't answer it again at all later on, and then you'll have lost an easy participation point. The quizzes are no sweat either, since after you submit your first attempt, it'll show you what you got wrong and right, and what the correct answers are (so there's really no excuse for scoring less than 100% on each quiz).

I never did any practice problems outside of what was assigned on Top Hat and in class until about a week before finals, when I reviewed Top Hat problems and looked up online practice problems on the topics that I specifically didn't feel the most confident in. I don't particularly recommend this, but if you are busy with other classes then it's still possible to get a good grade without doing tons of extra practice and work for this class. I also did not purchase the online resource that you could get with the book (I forgot what it was called) and I did just fine using only the physical textbook and Top Hat.

Dr. Jaffe is a really nice person and if you go to his office hours he will definitely try to help you out! He tries his best in lectures, but they're not always the most engaging. I do think part of the dead atmosphere in his class is due to the students as well -- we almost never participated in class (he would ask general questions for which we should raise our hands, and less than half the class would).
