The lectures are practical and relevant to what you learned. Lectures and examples are all straightforward. Quizzes and exams are accessible if you finish HW and practice exams. He responds quickly to student's questions. Great teacher!

I took this professor when I just started college at 15 (1 year ago), I can wholeheartedly say that this was one of the easier classes I took throughout my time at the community college. Unlimited attempts for homework, study guides for both exams and premade note packets to follow!

Super kind guy, he really wants his students to succeed its really helpful. His class is SO well organized, he gives you a manual at the beginning of the class that has everything you are going to do and its clear and perfect god I wish all my professors did that. He is thorough and responsible. Definitely take him if you can.

I passed with a 99. final is worth a good chunk of your grade. all hw and exams are on pearson. about 5 mandatory discussions with 2 required peer responses. responds to emails fast. his own lect. vids are set up in pearson. there is literally no reason not to take him. none at all.

As someone who isnt the best at math, his lectures were amazing! I took his Stats class online and I think he was the best professor I could have gotten. Yes, its hard not having a professor in person to teach you, but his lectures and textbook he uses are extremely helpful. Amazing professor.
