I decided to give it a try and took BUQU 1230 with Bernie this semester. He tries his best to let everyone understand the topics that are covered since Business Statistics is on the harder side for many students. He doesn't make students do any homework but does give out review sheets for each chapter. 4 quizzes + 2 midterms and a final is perfect.
