He has a very strict, traditional teaching style. The class is a lot of work but he makes it easy because he is pretty explanatory. Pay attention, show up to class, and ask him questions. He really is not that hard of a professor. Quizzes and homework every week but it is all take home and it is straight from his sample problems.

His homework/take home quizzes are on the tough side, but as long as you are paying attention in class, it wouldn't be that bad, and he grade it loosely . He respect his students, sometimes too much but that's a good thing in my opinion. Classic teaching style, with a good sense of humor. Cheat sheets are allowed on the exam.

He is an excellent professor. Please take with him if you have chance to do. I took 2215. It is about hypothesis test. I learned a lot from him. You must go to the lecture and take notes. As long as you pay attention to the lectures and do the homework. You will have good grade. You will learn a lot and very useful for your future.

Overall solid professor. His exams are difficult (allowed a sheet), but all quizzes and homework are all done at home. Attending class is an absolute necessity, as everything on graded assignments is directly from the lecture. He is accessible outside of class, and cares about student success. VERY picky about grading, but for good reason.

Easily the nicest professor I've ever had at Uconn. Cares so much about his students and genuinely wants to help you. There is a lot of homework and take-home-quizzes but if you attend lecture and actually pay attention they should be very easy 100s. Pretty generous with curving too. Overall the class does require a lot of work but not hard to pass

Professor Kouzehkanani is a very respectful and caring person. In any college-level course, there is a lot of work done outside of class. The examples done in-class basically walk you through all the assignments. As long as you, take notes and come to lecture regularly (attendance is taken every day), you will do okay in the class.

Really kind, cool guy. Lectures are typically him doing an example of the problem and then the take home quizzes are nearly identical to the example. Cheat sheet allowed for the exam + he curves anyway if the class generally doesn't do that well. Gentlemen, this guy!

Im taking Prof. Ks Statistics II now. Its been over two years since I took stats I and I was worried because I had forgotten most of it, I had a terrible prof 1st time, plus it was my first semester at Storrs. Prof K is very clear and concise in his lectures. There is not a lot of work he gives, but is highly focused on concepts. Amazing lecture

Amir's a great guy. Lectures are stuffed with material but fun to get through, and super informative. Always ties in real applications to what he teaches. Quizzes and Exams are difficult but he gives you everything you need to succeed. Picky grader, but gives phenomenal feedback. Highlight of my semester.

Absolutely wonderful professor, teaches you everything you need to know to be successful as long as you go to lecture and pay attention. He gives curves and extra points to ensure to everyone that his goal is to have his students succeed and enjoy statistics, whether or not you had interest in it beforehand

Prof. K is a great guy. He gives good feedback and emails you relatively quickly. He is a tough grader but for good reason. Wants you to do well. Curves grades as well so you can do well.

A very great person and professor. Cares a lot about teaching, seems to love interacting with all students. About one homework assignment each week, but they don't take that long. Going to class is very important, attendance isn't mandatory but better not to miss it because the lectures have all the info, I never opened the book & no access code.

Amir is by far one of the best professors I have had and he really cares about his students. Go to class and take notes and youll do fine. Exams may seem tough but if you know the material, not bad. He also curves a bunch. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about this professor. He is super funny and engaging and is very clear with the information he teaches in class. He also doesn't give much homework and the homework he does give isn't bad because he will show you exactly how to do the problems in class. You also get to use a notes sheet on the midterm and final

Lecture goes pretty in depth and his explanations of the intuition behind why formulas work the way they do is good. Lots of examples get covered, but he mostly works off scrap paper, so you need to show up to take notes. Exams are like the homework, but slightly harder cuz of the time constraint. His homework feedback is high quality though.

Professor Amir, has an old school teaching style but he actually teaches! He is a great professor, wants students to pass and cares more about us learning then taking exams. His quizzes and homeworks are similar to in class problems he does. He writes notes on a notepad, so dont miss class. Material explained clearly. Overall, hes a must take!

Absolutely love this professor. He's so kind and wants you to learn and succeed with every means possible. Very respectable and puts his students first. There are a few graded homeworks/take-home quizzes, but he gives you plenty of time and walks you through a similar problem so you know what to do. Take him if you have a chance, it's so worth it.

Not sure why I saw a few bad reviews below, but I think he's a good professor. I do think his lectures can be boring at times, but all the information is there and it prepares you well for the take-home quizzes. I didn't find them very difficult, and I'm not even great at math. He's pretty caring and likes having his students participate in class.

As the person who left the 1-star review on 9/29, I take back my review. If you have the option to take a class with Amir, do it.

Genuinely cares about his students and always wants to help. There's barely any homework and it's mainly take home quizzes. Everything you need to know is in his lectures. Best professor ever.

Very caring about students and cares that we're understanding the material correctly. His lectures are awesome; he knows how to explain concepts in a concise manner that makes intuitive sense. 100% would take him again!

Amir was a great professor, always showing how much he cared about us. Gives very generous curves if he can see that you're trying your best. Midterm/Final exams aren't proctored and are pretty much the same thing to what he taught during lectures

I took this course as a freshman, and Amir has been one of the most generous and encouraging professors I've had so far. He tells you exactly what you need to know for hw/ quizzes/ exams and is always willing to help or be flexible. He's also just a phenomenal person.

Amir is AMAZING! Funny, and personable in lectures online. He makes content clear and concise. He takes students into consideration when curving and grading. I have never felt like stats was easier. You need to take notes on everything he says, but don't worry if you didn't catch everything he posts his lectures online so you can go back!

One of the most genuine professors that I have every had. Professor Amir truly cares about all of his students, and his lectures (while not particularly exciting) are very straightforward and easy to understand. Most grading was via weekly homeworks or take home quizzes, which were not too difficult.

This class made me like stats more than I did before. Amir really cares about his students & just wants everyone to do well. He is abundantly clear about every topic, he'll rarely leave you with questions. I had his class virtually, and grades were from homeworks, take home quizzes, and 2 exams. He also gave some extra credit points here and there

Amir is one of the most caring and kind teachers I've ever had UConn. He respects his students and wants all of his students to succeed. He ended up giving everyone 100's on a few homeworks if you submitted all of your work and also curved the first exam which helped a bunch! You have to do work and pay attention, but he makes stats easy!

Amir is a fantastic professor. Everything that you need to know is always outlined very clearly in lecture, which makes the assignments very straight forward. On top of this, he really encouraged students to speak up and ask questions, which created a great classroom environment. It was easy to tell that he genuinely wants his students to succeed.

Amir truly cares about students, more than any professor I've had in the past. He is a wholesome educator and loves to enjoy the learning process. I was very pleased with how he handled things during the pandemic, allowing students time to review concepts from stats 1 before moving on to stats 2 (new material). Very understanding/generous.

I went from a math-hater to a math-lover in this class. Amir is an outstanding professor, period.

Amir makes stats fun! His lectures are dense but he keeps them interesting and genuinely cares abt his students. Graded on homeworks and take home quizzes which are easy if u pay attention. exams are a little harder but he curves like crazy. literally love him. 10/10 recommend. go to class and do your work and youll get an A

Amir is easily the best professor that I have ever had at UConn. Anyone that says that he's a bad teacher either didn't try or didn't go to class. Very passionate about teaching Exams are very hard but still pretty doable. Average amount of homework and overall a great class. It's rare to find a professor who cares about his students like Amir does

Hands down, Amir is one of the best professors I've had. He makes an effort to build relationships with his students and he truly cares. He has a good attitude and sense of humor, and actually makes you look forward to class. Lectures sometimes dragged on, but the homework and quizzes are the exact same as in-class examples. Exams were tricky.

Took this class four years after taking STAT1000 and was still able to do very well, as he did a month long review. Very caring about his students and wants them to succeed, but you must go to class every lecture. Very easy if you pay attention. Two exams, both online, along with a few take home quizzes and homeworks.

personable guy and you can tell he really cares about his students. uses an attendance sheet even tho participation is not graded, but youll need to go to class to understand the assignments anyway. big flaw is the exam questions are significantly harder than anything he talks about which led to a low exam average of 61, but he curved generously.

Amir is a great lecturer and the class is pretty straight forward if you attend it regularly. He gives a lot of opportunities to improve your grade so long as you turn in all your assignments on time. He genuinely seems to care about his students.

I believe that this is one of the most slept-on professors at UConn. Yeah, he can be very difficult, but he cares about his students. He goes out of his way to remember the name of as many students in a class of 125-ish. He genuinely cares not only about the course but the people taking it. Just remember he's strict, but he gets better!

Amazing professor. His lectures are crystal clear and explains concepts thoroughly. He is exciting to watch and I enjoyed going to class. There are lots of small homeworks but they help learning and make the exams easier. I heard someone describe him as "a very human professor." I HIGHLY recommend taking a class with him! He is understanding.

Fantastic professor, difficult class but he makes the most difficult concepts of statistics make sense. Definitely take this class if you are even slightly interested in statistics and don't mind a bit of a challenge.

He's an amazing lecturer: informative, clear, & very fun. Must go to lectures & study to do well in class, & his curves do help. Take good detailed notes! He truly cares about teaching & his students, wants everyone to do well. HWs & quizzes are helpful for studying for exams & he posts answer keys. Don't buy book, won't rly need it.

Difficult class, but as long as you go to lecture and take good notes, you should be good. Attendance is taken every class. He really cares about his students and is pretty funny.

Amir is one of those professors whom I genuinely feel cares about each of his students. He is extremely kind and understanding and wants us to learn. We didn't do good on the midterm and rather than blaming us, he gave a very generous curve and made sure we knew to go to him if we need any support. This class and he are reasons why I love Stats!

Amir is a nice guy. He can sometimes do a bad job of explaining things in lectures but he is really happy to help you outside of class. Pretty much everyone in my class failed the midterm but he curved it by 20 points. Do the homeworks and take home quizzes and you should be fine.

Amir!!!, he is very caring and wants all of his students to do well in the course. Attendance is recorded and mandatory as he does not post the lectures/notes. There are homeworks, take home quizzes and exams. As others have stated Amir will curve exams and give many opportunities to improve your grade as long as you put in some effort.

Lectures are a little boring but Amir is extremely nice and wants to get to know as many students as possible. He is very generous with grading (the class average on the midterm was a 65 so he gave everyone 20 extra points and bonus points on homework). Don't buy the textbook, everything is covered in lecture.

Amir is a passionate professor and genuinely cares about the wellness of his students. He loves when people ask questions. He is a straightforward individual who is strict but caring, and I think that is why I respect him so much. Take home quizzes and lets you bring a paper of notes for exams. Wants students to succeed.

Amir is extremely passionate in his teaching. I truly believe we need more professors like him. He genuinely cares about his students and prioritizes understanding the content over passing. Taking his course will make you love the subject. Great, humble guy. Take his course, and you'll see what I mean.

Really awesome professor. So respectful and genuinely caring of students. Many hw and take home quizzes throughout the semester, but not difficult. Exams are very tough but he allows formula sheets to be used! Definitely recommend him, this is the best math course i've ever taken.

He is a person first, professor second. He cares about his students and is very reasonable. He does care about attendance, he passes around a sign-in sheet every class. Take home quizzes are pretty easy and don't take too long. Dont get the textbook, he only assigns readings like twice and they aren't really necessary. He curves exams generously.

He's an enthusiastic lecturer and its extremely clear that he cares about his students. Attendance really matters and he passes around an attendance sheet each class. Participate during class, he'll really appreciate it, and he always encourages students to stop by his office hours. He curves his tests generously.

Amir is a great professor who is very caring for his students and is passionate about asking for help and going to office hours. He curves generously on exams, giving the whole class +20 points on the midterm, also he dropped our lowest quiz and gave us a free 100 on another quiz. He also let us use a cheat sheet for the final, I recommend!

Amir is an intelligent man who cares about his students. He is strict, and attendance is required, but there is usually only one weekly assignment. You need to attend lectures or you will not pass his course. He gives 20 extra points on midterm/final and drops your lowest quiz grade. Highly recommend him.

He is so awesome but the material is hard. If you have to take this class take it with him because he is adorable. Lots of hw but it's worth it because theres only a midterm and a cumulative final. He slays

One of the kindest professors I've had, and has a great respect for his students. Is a very clear lecturer, and reasonable. Attend class to do well, and he makes class very engaging. Only about 1 assignment per week, and mid term and final.

Dr. Kouzehkanani is the greatest lecturer I've had. Don't expect a cake walk, but the content can be understood readily as long as you pay attention and care. Dr. K is funny, charismatic, and brings unlimited excitement to the field of statistics (which can be rare for lecturers). If you get the chance, take his class!

A good and nice professor. A lot of take home quizzes and homework, however most of them are easy. Gives 2 hard exams that most people do bad. Gives extra credit to those who attend every class and complete all assignments. Lectures are mandatory if you want a good grade, for he basically gives you exactly what you need and what you need to write.

Amir is so great! He made me like math! It is definitely a hard class, but it was so worth it and the material makes a lot of sense now. He curves the exam(s) generously and gives out lots of bonus points especially for the people who do all the work. Overall, he is a very generous and passionate professor, and by far one of my favorites at UConn.

Amir is amazing! He actually cares about his students, and has made me actually like stat. He VERY generously curves the first exam. You MUST attend lecture. If not, you will not do well. If you miss lecture email him and he will send you a lecture video. 1-2 homework assignments a week. Study for exams using THQ's and HW's and you will do fine.

Amir is awesome. I hated stat 1000 but this class made me love statistics. He is very particular with how he wants things done, but once you figure it out, this class is not hard at all. He allows 1 study sheet for midterm and 2 for final. He also curves generously and even gave us a free 100 for a quiz. Overall great class and I highly recommend

Amir was a nice professor, but the class wasn't the easiest. However, as long as you attend lectures it wasn't bad. Turn in assignments on time. Only two exams, use the THQs and the HWs to study for them. Very funny professor, but he wants his students to try. As long as you put in the effort to show you care, he'll help you do well.

Good guy, a little scary, refers to himself in the third person frequently, you can tell he cares about his students, he tells us he loves us all the time.

This professor truly loves his job and wants to see his students succeed. This does NOT mean that you can slack off, skip lecture, and expect him to give you an A. But, his lectures are really helpful for the homework (5) and quizzes (9). Midterm average was high 60s, but he curved it. If you put in the work and go to class, you will succeed.

I LOVED Amir. He can be intimidating and his expectations are high, but he's a total sweetheart. He truly loves what he does and he wants you to succeed. I got a D+ on the midterm (avg was a 68), he curved it to a B-. 9 open-note take-home quizzes & 6 homework assignments, 20 pts ea; 1 midterm, 1 final. Textbook free w/ enrollment, not used much

Amir has been one of the best professors in my 4 years here. He is a caring and funny guy and really wants to see his students succeed. Two exams, a midterm and a final. Take home quizzes and homework that was easy. If you do not go to lecture, you will not do great. Though, his lectures are super interesting, so it was an easy go-to lecture!

He really wants his students to do well and succeed outside of the classroom as well as inside. Homework and Tests are just like the in-class problems.

YOU NEED TO GO TO LECTURE. He tells you what is on exams and goes step by step through practice problems for homework and take home quizzes. He allows 1 cheat sheet for the midterm and 2 for the final. The average for the midterm was low 60's but he curved pretty heavy and added some extra points in other assignments to account for the low scores.

my GOAT. let amir cook.

Amir is by far top 3 best professors at Uconn. I learned so much in his class, not only about stats but about who I am as a learner. Make sure you go to lectures!! reading the textbook is not really necessary, but it may help if you need to go over something again. He answers emails, questions, and gives you all the help you need.

teaches in great detail, a nice guy. He's very selective about the wording of your answers and will take points off homework for little things.

Honestly probably my favorite professor at UConn. He is so great, always understanding and always accessible outside of the classroom. He has two office hours online a week. DO NOT WRITE WHAT IS JUST ON THE BOARD, write down how he explains things because he will literally explain quizzes & hw answers IN DETAIL step by step. Love him.

You must attend lecture because he doesn't post a recording or notes, and be sure to pay attention because he will tell you exactly how to do the homework assignments! Midterm average was a 53, but he gave us all an extra 20 points. He also gives everyone a free 100 on a homework, and drops your two lowest ones. Super funny and loveable guy!

This is probably one of the only classes where I didn't have to study a lot outside of class since he explains everything in class. Although the TAs do take points off on little things, he's letting us drop our lowest 2 take home quiz grades and he curved the midterm by 20 points. He cares about his students a lot.

He cares a lot about his students success, so long as you show up. Attendance is taken and most of the content is reviewed in class, so attendance is a huge factor of success in the class. Other than that content is straightforward.

Anyone who doesn't do well in this class probably didn't go to lecture. He is a clear teacher and does tons of practice. You get a cheat sheet on the midterm and final that you can put anything on to help you. There are also weekly take-home quizzes/homeworks that are easy and boost your grade a lot. The exam averages are low but he curves.

I really liked Amir a lot. He was very wholesome and genuine. The material was a bit difficult for me, mainly the multiple-choice part of the exams. Those really cooked me, but the open-ended questions were a breeze. I'm lowk tight that I didn't get an A, but wtv. I took it as a related course. Class wasn't killer tho so don't be afraid to take it

AMIRS MY GOAT! Awesome professor that cares about his students more than anyone else i've had. Attendance is mandatory but lectures are very helpful and it would be silly to skip them. Every homework and take home quiz is done step by step in class so they're very easy to get 100s on. Exams were tricky but he allows cheat sheets and curves them.
