Homework heavy. One homework assignment would take me 2 hours to complete (16 questions with multiple parts to each question and only worth 4 pts!) and there would be 3 and one quiz for the week. The assignments are poorly formatted and make understanding the concept very hard. Not much leniency or cooperation

I don't think there is anything good to rescue from this experience. Don't take this course with him at least you want to be studying by yourself. He'll assign you homework and tells you to use the book and videos to learn. Despite asking for help and telling him that I had already reviewed everything, he referred me to the book again. No help.

Doesn't teach. All he does is post a summary of the lesson for the day & one example, which is from the textbook. Everything is done through Pearson, so the least he could've done was post a video & actually teach. I had to teach myself STATS2 by watching all the videos through Pearson. what a joke of a class. doesn't care if your lost. 0 EC/0curve

This class is self-taught and all the material/videos are done through Pearson - the lessons, the HW, and the Tests. Be ready to teach yourself STATS2 by watching Pearson/Youtube videos. Lots of HW that isn't weighted for the amount of time it takes. Grade heavily depends on Midterm and Final. Does send email weekly reminders - which is a positive.

Honestly, for a 5-week course, I expected the amount of work given. However, there were times I wasn't able to finish the homework because it just took so much time. Also, I wouldn't recommend the course purely because it is so short, and I felt like I was just rushing through trying to get the best grade, rather than actually learning the content.

I'm making another rating because I think this would help to know. To prepare for the Midterm and Final (personally what boosted my grade) I highly suggest you review the quizzes more than the practice for the two, Still take the practice, but review the quizzes more. I would say to review homework, but only if you really don't get a question.

Provides the bare minimum of help. It's not even his course and he's not even teaching; all the materials are created and graded by Connect. He just hands them to you and you have to teach yourself. An easy class is made ten times harder because he can't do something as simple as providing instructional videos.

As someone who loves math this was not great. All the material is taught by the publisher so it was horrible. Struggled to understand and actually learn it. Lots of homework every week that took hours and a quiz or test every other week. You do get three attempts on quizzes but no curves or bonuses on anything.

This class was absolutely horrible. Gross amounts of homework I spent hours on each week. All he does to "teach" is post multiple discussion boards and makes you read them. Nobody even viewed them.
