I took him for Stats 243 and it was a wonderful experience, especially since he made the lectures interesting and his exams and quizzes to be manageable. However, if you plan on taking stats 244 with a different professor or take any higher stats courses, you will NOT be prepared. Especially if you rely heavily on your notes during his exams.

"Okay? mkay." Shoes off in class. Loves teaching, hates grading. If you are into math then Andy is your friend, and if not, then by the end of the class you'll be hungry for more. Answers all questions literally gives infinite late passes. Take your time and work consistently and you'll discover the mathematician within you. Full recommendation!!!!

Andy is an excellent instructor. After his class, concepts I struggled with made better sense. The material was challenging, but he provides practice before quizzes and outlines what to study. I'm sad he's not teaching Calc 1. He makes 9 a.m. math bearable; he's also super hilarious. I'd retake him! Team Flight!!!

The only mistake I made here is not taking class with Professor Flight soonerHe truly want all his students to success he always give us a chances to do our work, late passes, extra credits, best score count There is no way anybody will fail his class if you at least do your homework's and study cover everything we learn in (he does not trick you)
