Okay, so he is such a nice professor and he really cares about his students. You can clearly see how much he wants you to learn in lecture. He's always available to help students and doesn't get annoyed at those dumb f*cks who ask stupid questions. He really tries to make stats interesting and easy to understand.

I think he's the best prof that teaches Stats 10. From my experience with this class and from what other people have said, all the other stats 10 profs suck and don't give a shit.

THIS IS NOT AN EASY CLASS. Omfg, I have never done so much work for a class before. You have to put in so much time and effort in this class..

1) Go to lecture
attendance is 2% of your grade.. doesn't seem like a lot but it could help you in the end.

2) Read your textbook
Yeah, seriously read that shit. Even as a north campus major, I've gotten As in my classes without fully reading my textbooks for two years now... this is the first class where I've actually read every single word of every single chapter. Reading the textbook helps to understand the concepts from lecture.

3) Grade breakdown

2%= attendance
8% = quizzes
8%= homework
8% = lab
40% = Midterm 1 & Midterm 2
34% = Final

You have quizzes due on mon, labs due tues, and homework due friday...and he drops the lowest score for each one

Midterm 1 was easy. Midterm 2 was so hard.. it was all probability.

The final was ridiculously hard.. more than half of the lecture stayed 30 min after the 3 hours you're initially given to finish the test.

The test format is half multiple choice (around 15-20 questions) and 1 or 2 short answers.

Take it with this prof! It's a lot of work but he's such a nice person. I thought it was worth it. I ended up getting a B because I basically didn't go to the last 4 weeks of class.. if you put in the time you can get an A in the class!! it's a lottttt of work though.

I hope this helps! Good luck, don't forget stats 10 is impacted too so you can't drop it after week 2

The best professor I've had so far. I feel he is everywhere whenever u needed help. As long as you asked him, he is happy to answer every question. And the lecture is very clear and organized. Plus, he would check your final for you!!!!!!!! what professor would do that??????????? Take HIM, you won't be regretted!!!!

He's a genuinely nice guy who cares about his students. He smiles a lot and makes little jokes in class. Every Friday at the end of lecture he tells us all to be safe and don't drink and drive :) Super fair quizzes, midterm, and final. He recycles a lot of questions from his powerpoints and weekly quizzes, so if you study those and have a decent grasp on the material you'll do great on the final. He said numerous times that he would love for the whole class to earn A's. The averages are always really high, which is awesome 'cause he doesn't mind! He does everything he can to help out his students, even holding a video chat the day before an exam for last minute questions (which, it turns out, no one participated in because they didn't need to!) If you forget your clicker for attendance (or, ahem, you decided to sleep in) you can just email him and he'll give you attendance credit. Really... there's nothing bad to say. Easy, caring, good guy. Take him!

I signed up for the E-lecture section, which is the section where you're not allowed to go to lecture, but you watch them online (it's literally the same thing). For as long as I could remember, I hated probability and the type of math associated with statistics, so I was genuinely worried about this class. HOWEVER, this professor is AMAZING. Nicest guy you'll ever meet, he's so dedicated to making sure you understand and that he's always there to help. I e-mailed him a couple times throughout the quarter for help on homework questions and he'd always give such detailed responses. You get a sense that he truly cares for his students. The homework and online quizzes are a bit on the challenging side, but if you go/watch (to) his lectures and study his lecture slides, you are SET for the exams. They are quite easy. Also, chapters 18-22 get pretty confusing at times, so that was when I actually opened the book and read those chapters. People - reading IS helpful sometimes! Do it! It really helped me understanding concepts that were sometimes unclear in lecture. I think that really helped me do well on the exams too.

The course has about 8 quizzes, 6-7 homework assignments assigned weekly, 2 midterms, and a final. Don't worry about the labs either - they're really easy and they can be interesting at times.

Only the lazy people will get anything less than a B+. I highly recommend this class - take it! The professor is nice and the content is sufficient to get by on.

I had this course for my GE and it's ridiculously easy. The homework is a bit hard but the test is so easy. Just listen what he said on the lecture and that will be on you exam!!!!Do all the homework and memorize all the quiz then you'll get a free A.He said he won't curve but at the end he curves a bit. He's also a great teacher and very concern with his student.

The material is what makes his class tough. He is a very laid back professor and it will require a lot of work on your part to get a good grade in his class. He sure gave me a run for my money and when I walked out of his final, I walked out with my head held high because I gave it everything I had. He challenged me and for that I am grateful. Take him if you want to not only learn Stats but learn the value of a grade.
