difficult to understand, heavy indian accent, but easy exams and very fair grader. teaches weekend/evening class. two exams worth 25% and final 50% all exams are open book n u could use all notes. no attendance.

this guy has a thick indian accent, but trust you'll get used to it, however he is a really good teacher. he explains everything, always helpful if u have a problem,he is a good grader and a really good guy.

yes, he has an accent, but he is fair and at time funny. He understands we work hard and go to schoo at night. If anyone does bad in his class is because you did not practice the material. Remember this is college not high school, so we must work harder.

He is a very nice man. You'll get used to the accent, and then you'll understand that he makes the subject much more understandable than the book does. Midterms are easy, final is hard, but he goes all the way if you need help. Take him if you are not scared of the accent, & you won't regret.

Although he may have a very heavy indian accent he does not speak in "indian" as someone stated,he speaks in english and furthermore the language is not indian ,its hindi or punjabi,he is a great professor but the final is difficult

Extremely easy! Can be difficult to understand due to accent, but explains things well and gives great examples. All tests are open book & notes. Very fair. Tells you EXACTLY what you need to do to earn an A.

In order to do well in his class you have to attend the class every session because he gives out hints on what is going to be on the exams. Make sure you can do and understand his review questions. Do his extra credit HW assignment. It makes a difference five points added on to your final grade. By doing all of this you will receive either A or B.

I just took him during the summer session and was glad I had him. Initially I was put off by his accent but u'll get use to it after awhile. There was a midterm and a final, hw helps boost ur grade and an 85 is an A. Just make sure you do his hw and test review questions. His exams are very similar to the review questions.

I took this class in the Spring 05. I had a good time. Professor easy to follow once u get a grip on the heavy accent. Fair in grading and tests are relatively easy if you stude reviews.

Loved this professor! If you're not good at math, make sure to study. Otherwise, his lectures are enough to grasp the material. Can get an A if you put forth a little effort, but most people don't. Gives extra credit if you're the first to answer on-the-spot Qs he asks from time-to-time. Also has an extra credit assignment (summer only?)

This is not only the best Stat. professor in Baruch, he is the man with the biggest heart. He loves his students and he loves his subject, and he'll give you an A if you like it too. If you are friendly with math, you don't have to have a book, his notes will give everything, but if you're not good in it, buy the book and study. REcommended!!!

he is one of the best proff available at baruch, he explains everything in detail, is always there to help u and exams are open notes. Dont need to buy the book pay attention and put a little effort u'll get a A.

I enjoyed this class, even though at first it seemed hard (I took it in Summer session), but eventually I enjoyed it. He is very nice to everyone, has a lot of patience, and generous with the grades. You should know basic math to understand him quickly, but overall he was great! I didn't even buy the book - all from notes - A.

Good Professor. If u know math a little this class would be easier though he has accent. Very helpful if u really want to learn the material. One midterm and final, one HW. Curves a lot. Also ask a lot extra points question. Best of all he gives extra credit question in the exam. If u work a little u will get A.

I think he is a good professor, although he is hard to understand at times, he tries to make sure that you understand the material. Also, he is a lenient professor who gives alot of extra credit points in class and gives partial credit on exams. If you can adjust to peoples accents, then you should take him.

Who cares about STA when he grades that easily? I took his class during summer and thought I'd fail, but survived. If you need it to get in Zic than don't waist your time with some other professor. Though you have to do some work too, you are in college after all. I think he is worth taking and I'm glead I did!

People are too hard on him. He really cares for his students, he is willing to repeat himself when you dont get things the 1st time. Open book exams, take notes in class and you don't need to buy the book. Study practice exams and will do just fine on the real test. Even with a killer final, I'm actually going to miss him he was that good...

Do not buy the book, take detailed notes and understand his problems well, and you will be fine. He is kind of funny and very knowledgeable person. I like him.

Swell guy: makes jokes, despite his accent he makes material easy to understand. Listen to him carefully and don't miss one class, or you are screwed. No need to buy the book, the midterm and final are based on his lectures. One thing, though, he should improve is his listening skills. Overall, he knows his stuff and it's a fairly easy class.

i am gonna be very honest with you guys who want to register him. he is a very funny guy, and his class is kinda interesing. he has three exams, and homeworks, and before exams, he helps you review the past exams before, which are kinda revalent to what u are gonna have in real exams. he gives you plenty plenty extra points opportunities. howeve

He is funny. U need a good sense of humor or dont take him. He makes fun of everyone including himself. U might feel he's rude but he wants you to increase ur focus. He gives away tons of pts and practice test are mirror of real test. Cannot cram. Must understand concept. Buy the book and CD. It will help w/ ur hw (and A grade). Highly recommend.

He is apparently a very experienced statistician. Teaches useful concepts well enough for everybody to understand. I really enjoyed the class, makes funny jokes all the time. Overall he is a good man, i'd recommend taking him.

I agree. This guy is funny. My best advice is to give him a chance. He seems scary and rude in the beginning. But once you get him, u'll be laughing and see that he's really trying to get you to undertsand the concept. Cramming will not work. you must understand the concept and do the practice problems. He curves. 85 is an A and he gives bonus pts

Final exam was a take home exam. Now I know you think that should be pretty easy. Wrong! Too long exam to be submitted within a week knowing students may have five finals to go through. It was too much but I think that is his way of grading. Submit your HW on time, but you have to learn on your own. Class material is very poor.

He explained the knowledge points very clearly. Although he has accent, it does not influence his teaching. It is easier to get high score in the class if you listen to his class carefully.

The professor is a nice person, but needs to do a better job at teaching and polishing how he presents his thoughts. He seems tough, but overall and easy grader. I saw people go to him to successfully increase score with minor to no reason. Though you have to learn a lot by yourself. Overall good class that can be made better.

All take home exams and easy HW's. He knows his stuff but his teaching style is average. He can do better and is cooperative.

Amazing person but not a good teacher. If you go talk to him about home works or exams, he will be happy to help you with some tips. Take your laptop and study SAS in class running codes he teaches.

Professor Gill is: 1. Extremely smart and knowledgeable of SAS 2. Extremely helpful The class is hard, there is no way of getting around it. No one practices the programming at home, so when it comes to test time they all do poorly. I practiced maybe 5 hours for each test, with no previous SAS experience, and almost aced each one.

This man is a sage! Extremely knowledgeable. Excellent teacher, though material is extremely nuanced. Avoids questions because he covers EVERYTHING in due time. Be patient. Even teaches ALL of Regression and Intro Stats. Wonderful man. Lenient grader. Absolutely the best.

he has hard tone but great person once you get past that knows well and very helpful deserves respect.

Prof. Gill is extremely knowledgeable, however, he does have his own system. He wants you to be a programmer, so he teaches fundamental stuff that is not very practical sometimes (only glances at proc reg, glm, etc.). He is an exceptional person and is very respectable but you will have to take what you can from him. If u r passive u won't learn!

Prof. has his own ways of teaching and many students don't like it but if you really put the work, read the book and do the HMW you will be fine. Make sure you ask him a lot of questions. He is always willing to give feedback and help students. Make friends in class and help each other. I never study w others but for this class I did and it helped

Professor Gill is very caring and a wonderful man. He will Help you in anyway he can and takes into consideration the amount of other things that students have to do such as working, other classes, etc. I would definitely take him again he is a very wise man.

he slid me a blunt during class

the professor reads off of slides but does offer his own explanations and answers questions during class. Homework was through pearson and quizzes were on BB. I did have difficulty understanding his accent but otherwise the class was not that bad.

He's a pretty chill guy. If you pay attention during lectures his accent is not that big of a deal although it can be annoying at times. He uses his own grading criteria for the final grade instead of Baruch's and is very understanding. Gives extra credit to those who answer questions during class and always willing to help students and answer q's.

Taking Stats2000 with Mr.Gill has changed my life, for the better. I now have the ability to understand the intricacy of cultural understanding due to the constant language barrier we broke. Balwant is not only stickingly handsome, but his teaching skills and way of saying "measure"have truly changed the way I learn. Thank you Baruch for having him

Easy and clear homeworks. Everything is online. He is nice and caring. Participate a lot, and get bonus points. They matter on the final homeworks. I did and it got me an A.

He's the greatest! This teacher is life-changing. While you might need to navigate a language barrier, he more than makes up for it by being a very caring person who is always willing to help. He'll go out of his way to support you, even encouraging you to call him if you're facing difficulties. Just participate, and you should be fine.

Great, Prof., if you can do StatCrunch! learn it via YouTube. Questions on hw are the same on the exams. 2 midterms and one final. Also earn all of the bonus points by rasing your hand participation really matters in this class to gain extra credit

He is a good person and always ready to help. He gives you many extra points, try to earn them all because they will help you later. Don't be afraid of his accent, it doesn't affect anything, he is not that difficult to understand if you really listen to him.

As long as you your ur hw test should be easy. Tests r all online and the questions are very similar to the hw. You get bonus points for participating in class. Nice professor.
