I had to take this professor online due to the coronavirus situation, therefore, his class sucked. This guy literally just sent us to MyStatLab to do ALL the work for the course. This professor literally didn't do a thing! I tried emailing him many times, and his email would either not work or he doesn't reply at all. You will have to self teach.

Professor D is one of the best math professors I have ever had. His class is very easy as long as you read the textbooks and if you ever need help he is always open to help you in his virtual office. Just work hard and stay on task its a easy A

Mr. Darrisaw is a good person. He provides several online lectures that give examples on the homework, quiz, and test section from MyLab Statistics. He does not give extra credit since they are already on MyLab. You get unlimited tries on the homework section, 3 on the quiz section, and 2 on the test section.

I really enjoyed having Professor Darrisaw. He gives extensions, he gives you almost every tool possible to help you understand statistics and pass his class. I hate math period. I never enjoyed math but for the 1st time ever I understood it because of Professor Darrisaw. Statistics is difficulty but Professor Darrisaw makes it somewhat easy.

The hardest math teacher in the world.The only thing he teaches in class is how to use Excel. Everything else, you have to teach yourself on how to do math by read an online book, Read 100+ pages per week. You will learn nothing from him. He doesn't reply to email doesn't help his student at all. RUN FOR YOUR GPA and .Look for someone else.

Professor Darrisaw was very sweet. Responded to emails quickly. We used an online book which was under $40. The deadlines for everything was on a weekly basis. I've always been horrible in math & am returning to school after 10 years. I work a full-time job. Just study at your own pace by the deadline & you'll make an A. Gives xtra credit.

He's okay, gives extra credit but statistics is really hard. All he needs to work on is his deliverance in teaching it's kind of confusing.He also grades really heavy.

Excellent professor, explains well, if you still don't understand you can see him outside of class to go over anything you need help with. He works with you to ensure you understand and gives extra credit. Be sure to take notes in class to review later it really comes in handy. He uses OLI to go through the course, it has explanations and examples.

He is a great professor. Just make sure you're doing the work to your best ability as you have 50 attempts and ASK QUESTIONS! He gives extra credit points towards your final exam and is accessible almost immediately whenever you reach out to him via his provided number. Can get hard but as long as your doing your part as a student, you'll be fine.

He was a very sweet professor.. but his lectures were terrible. By the end of the semester we were so behind because the first week of class he couldn't figure out how to assign our homework. he is very nice but I didn't learn anything from the lectures.. if you have no prior knowledge about Precalculus buckle up and get ready to struggle.

Challenging but manageable with effort. Textbook and Unstuck AI are essential for success. Professor is accessible and offers extra credit opportunities.

ASTOUNDED, there are good ratings for this teacher. HE SUCKS. NEVER responded to any of my emails; meanwhile, SPAMS you with slides. I think all of my classmates dropped this class because only four people do the discussions. Doesn't answer calls, voicemail box is full. Set up for failure. He is lucky I only have 350 characters to make a review!
