I was worried about taking Statistics because I don't like math, but he makes it easier to understand and hes funny and seems like he really cares about us...the homework is a lot sometimes and some quizzes are hard, but they're pretty fair and he answers any questions anyone has. I hope he teaches more classes than just statistics next semester.

Such a stupendous professor! He teaches R code, which is a bit tough at first; however, with his lecture and the labs, he makes it comprehensible. The textbook is free and embedded in Canvas. It's A LOT of reading, but there are questions in the textbook that will help with coding. So read the book! Material is difficult; he is not, btw!

Attway is one of the best professors I've had, he truly cares about our success. He does teach R coding which seems super overwhelming and scary but with his lectures it was super easy to get the hang off. Quizzes are open book & notes which helps as long as you know where to find what is needed. The only way to not pass his class is by not trying.

He truly cares about his students. Stats is not an easy subject but he makes the class environment welcoming and encourages questions. He will gladly explain over and over and will even give you individual attention until you are sure you understand the material. He reviews the material before and after quizzes. Put in the work and you will pass.

Professor Attaway is an amazing instructor who always gives good insights and will give you extra individual help if you need it. Very attentive and understanding if you are not able to make it to class. One big project at the end of the semester along with a few quizzes/ a final exam given towards the beginning/middle of the semester.

I would highly recommend taking professor Attaway for stats. He provides a lot of resources to be successful in the class. He allows the quizzes to be open note and open book. If you do all of the homework and labs you will pass this class. If you study and use your notes for the quizzes you should have no problem receiving an A in the course.

Professor Attaway makes stats easy. Stats is not an easy subject but Professor Attaway will not stop until you get a concept. He is very into R coding. At first, the struggle is real but he cares about students learning when it comes to it. Labs are straight forward and easy to follow. He is very clear on what is expected of you.

I took Professor Attaway for Psych 3040. Although some of the content was difficult, he did a great job at explaining and being open to any questions. You can email him at any time throughout the course and he responds, he is also incredibly inspirational and you will leave the class with life lessons as well as an understanding of course material.

He will forever be one of my favorite professors. If we have questions, I've never been afraid to ask or go to an office hour. I think the only thing I can critique is when it came to the presentations, I wish there was some type of rubric to make sure I'm hitting all the markers. Other then that, he's amazing.

He gives clear guidelines, fair exams, encourages group collaboration, and promotes an atmosphere where everyone is on the same team. He wants you to succeed and is open to any suggestions or feedback. As long as you show up, participate, and ask for help, you'll do well. He really cares and that's a rare find at Cal State LA.

Dr. Attaway is one of the best professors I've had. I took three of his classes, and his guidance made a huge impact on my academic journey. He creates a supportive learning environment. It's unfortunate he's leaving Cal State LA, as the university is losing an amazing professor. Thank you, Dr. Attaway for everything!

I could write an essay about how amazing Dr. Attaway is. He is an intelligent, hard-working, and dedicated professor who spends most of his time helping his students. He treats all of his students equally, helps everyone as much as he can, and makes sure his students learn. I am glad I took his class before graduation.
