Awesome teacher he has a lecture class that is a supliment definatly take it great class

go to class, go to the si session, study study and actually understand it. he is hilarious though, and genuine, and really nice too. the tests are difficult, and the final exam is unreasonable-written by more than one prof, so get good grades before it

This not an easy class so attend class and then stay for the SI after class. The SI is very helpful. If you are on your 2nd time with this class I really recommend this professor.

Very nice guy. Not easy, but helpful. You must attend all classes to keep up with everything. Highly recommend this one!

Bill rocks! Quizzes hard/test hard but this man can TEACH! Lectures are very clear and engaging.

Great teacher, but not very easy. First time I took it I got a 1.8 second time I got a 3.7

Seems very bored teaching this class. Makes the class drag. Challenging class, but not impossible as long as you don't get behind. Do the work and study hard. A little very dry humor here and there makes the lectures almost bearable.

Makes statistics easy to understand. Very clear and gives good examples. I am glad i took the class with him, as i hate math and don't normally do good in it, but i did in this class

He really knows his stuff...he's very willing to sit down with you and help you with something you don't understand, and his lectures definitely help you understand everything...I would share my book with someone, cuz you dont use it that much..definitely recommend him..attend class

Mr. Hamilton was very nice and helpful toward his students. He is by far the best statistics teacher at OU. All the old tests are online, just go to class every day, do a couple old tests, and a clinched 4.0.

He's a good teacher. He posts old tests online to help you study, it helps a lot. But do something for the final. It's impossible!!

I dont understand the negative reviews here. Mr. Hammilton is really good, everything is very clearly explained, and he does an exact type of every exam problem during class. he hands out a class packet, so dont buy the book - you wont need it whatsoever. all old exams and quizzes are online.

pretty good at teaching the subject, but if youve never taken a stats class before its REALLY hard. THe final is Cummulative! very tough. HE GRADES VERY HARD! if you dont label EVERYTHING he takes off points, for the smallest things you will get marked down- even if you know the material. HINT:READ THE DIRECTIONS ON YOUR TEST/QUIZES!!

Old quizzes/tests available, use them they help!! He does examples of problems on his tests. So it's imp. to go to class. He's good at answering questions. But the final is made by the department and it is IMPOSSIBLE. Nothing like his tests. Go to a tutor before the final or expect to fail it.

Extremely helpful. Made statistics very easy to understand. Kind of strange, but not as bad as many of the math profs at OU. Really wants you to succeed.

Great teacher. Very helpful. Made calc not so bad to learn. Highly reccomend him!

I think he grades pretty harsh on the exams. I'll study the old tests he gives us but he always knows how to switch it up on the actual exam, confusing everybody. So I never do as good as I think I am going to do. Overall, I think he is an ok teacher. Hes better than the one I had before. Yes, this is the second time I am taking this class. Math does not come very easy to me.

He's a **** when it comes to grading his exams.He takes points off if you're too spacific.But if you go to class and take some notes you'll do fine.DONT BUY BOOK!It's nice because he puts old quiz/exams online so you can print a few off and use them to study.He's boring and he's a good OU math teacher (I think it's because he teaches at Macomb)

Pretty good experience. The tests are hard, and he does take off points if you don't have things worded exactly as he likes. Basically, just go to class everyday and take notes, because he teaches things the way he wants to, not by the book, so if you miss class you're going to have a hard time.

The second half of the class is when it starts getting hard. The teacher is very nice and very hard but LOVES to ramble. The final was hard, but as long as you study and understand the material by then, you should be fine. Online practice tests and quizzes help a lot.

He knew what he was talking about, but the subject is very boring. However, his final is a killer...he typically doesn't write it, so it's kind of random.

the best math prof i ever had!! he knows what he is talking about and is very clear at explaining it. on exams--wording means everything-he will mark u down if its not worded the way he wants it. i definitely recommend him to anyone who hates math--i do and i actually did okay in the class. must attend lectures or u will be lost

Is very clear in his teaching, will help in anyway possible. Old tests and quizzes are available for you to look and study at along with the answers. The final is hard but it's because he did not write it. Just study for it and you should be fine.

The best math professor. I recommend taking him. He will help you, lectures are easy to follow and test are like what he teaches you in class. Just make sure you don't miss class, you will be lost! Go to class, take notes and you will get a good grade!

He's a nice guy, and unlike the majority or the math teachers at OU, you can understand what he's saying, however i don't feel that he is very good at explaining things and his notes our worded badly. He is very willing to help students outside of class, he wants his students to succeed.

He is a great prof! Just show up to class and take notes, and the tests are a breeze. He posts old exams online, very helpful and easy to understand.

If you don't understand math you can still do good in his class, as long as you work hard and practice the problems.

Good Man, loves Statistics and brings in current events of Stats to help explain. Can be confusing at times. The prehanded out notes can get confusing with your reg. notes, so be sure to write down what u learn and the corresponding note pages to refer back. All old quiz n tests online, use very helpful they arnt much diff than the one he'll give.

Don't bother to buy the book, you won't ever open it. He hands out a packet of notes for you at the beginning of the semester and that's all you need. Make sure you do the practice quizzes he has online before you take the tests - They're almost identical to his actual tests and you'll know exactly what you need to study. He's an amazing professor!

I didn't do well in this class but that was my own fault. Show up to class, take the practice quizzes and like others have said - don't bother buying the book. As long as you pay attention and do the practice quizzes you will be fine. He is a good professor.

Very good professor!! No textbook or homework! Hands out a packet the first day of class and has notes and practice problems in packet. Attendance not mandatory but helps. View tests and quizzes online on course reserve, similar to what will be given. Gives chance to argure pts or grade but very fair.

Mr. Hamilton is a very intelligent math teacher. Hes a luny genious, but definately shows favoritism. He follows handouts only so the student can follow step-by-step. He has very bland humour, sometimes funny and most times just flat out corny. overall a tough class for the average student.

great teacher, all old test and quizes are posted online, he is helpful, just go to class and take notes and you will do great.

I liked him a lot. Nice guy and good teacher. I don't think you can teach the material any better.

I thought this guy was a great teacher. He is nice and really helpful if you go to him with questions. You never use the book in the class so don't buy it.

He obviously knows the material very well, and will answer questions if you ask him. However, he is boring and sometimes confusing at times. Also, remember EVERYTHING about the stuff cause u will get marked down. also all of his jokes are lame

He takes attendance, classes are a bit boring, old quizzes and tests can be found online...Don't bother buying the book, we only used it once and even then he put it up on the screen for you to see. Just go to Office Max or somewhere and get printouts of all of his lecture notes online and bind them, it only cost $40 vs a $100 book

Prof. Hamilton is a very easy going, nice guy. His class is difficult, but if you study hard, you will do well. He provides a lot of old tests that you can use in your studying. Do the practice tests and attend lecture every day and you will do well.

He is a good guy that know what he is talking about. But if you do not like math it can get a little hard sometimes. He provided old test and quizzes from previous class so it make it a little easier to know whats going to be on the test or quiz. Also, do NOT buy the book he provides outlines for the book and he uses that NOT the book. GOOD LUCK

Hamilton is a genuine good guy. His jokes are nerdy and hard to follow but they are hilaroius. Hes willing to answer all your questions and tries to make the class fun. Overall hes a great proffessor. Those who are in alegbra need to work harder then others.

great teacher, made statistics as simple as he can..i didnt buy the text book i just went over his handouts and old tests online and i got a really good grade ...it does require some studying but then again its math ! take him i definitely reccomend

Don't buy the textbook! Didn't open it once. Easy class, very clear, concise and relevant lectures. Provides examples of past HW and tests. Writes his own HW and quiz and exam questions are of the same form as all the HW. Nice guy, a little dry, but not too bad.

Easy to understand and he is helpful. However, if Stats is not your thing you will have a very hard time. Tests are tricky. Wording of problems and twisted questions. If you dont TOTALLY understand the concepts of each and every part of the class you will get lost.Even after hours of work you will still be disappointed with your grade.

Dont buy your book. I havent opened it once. Tests are really tricky especially the wording, how you set up the problems is really important to him

Not a bad professor overall. Textbook is hardly ever used. All his old tests/quizzes are online. These are all you really need to study to pass. Attend class, take notes, study his old tests, and you will be fine. Also, stay until the end of every class period as he sometimes awards extra credit (based off if you stay until the end of the lecture).

Professor Hamilton is a decent professor. He tries to be funny, and uses a ton of examples from articles. He posts all of his old tests and quizzes online so study those! He rarely uses the text book, but i still bought it to do some practice problems. If you are the type of student who can teach themselves you'll be great in this class!

He knows his stuff and is very knowledgeable. He is kind of goofy, but funny. Study his past quizzes and exams to help reinforce concepts, but don't rely on them. It will mess you up for the final. Hotness 100% with a SD of 5%, depending on the day.... Good luck.

Not a bad teacher. He clearly states what is expected on exams and quizzes. Because of that he tends to be a harsh grader. He posts all his old exams and quizzes online, I highly recommend using them to study!

Bless his heart, such a sweet man but his exams were just so difficult! Very tough grader, offers no extra credit, but is happy to meet with you to help you out. A little corky but very friendly. Don't take if you want to pass.

If you have to take Stats at Oakland I highly recommend you take it with Hamilton, He is super helpful, funny and genuinely wants you to do well. I am terrible at math class but this was super easy. He makes all of his old exams available to use and the tests are exactly like the old ones. Gives a fair amount of extra credit..

Bill is such a nice and sincere guy. He makes lots of little dorky jokes and it makes the class just a little better. The class is tough but it is what you make it. Do the practice quizzes and tests, take the notes, go to class. No homework so if you don't do well on the tests, it will hurt your grade.

offers extra credit sometimes class: intro new chapter, 10 examples, repeat No homework and tests and quizzes are online. Show up to class and then study off of the tests and quizzes online and you'll pass the class. Overall pretty cool guy, but dorky

Professor Hamilton is such a sweet man. He even holds extra instructional sessions on the weekends and opens these sessions to students outside of his class. I have attended these sessions and Professor Hamilton has helped me more than my own professor. I wish I would have taken his class instead.

Hamilton is a very good stats professor and he really knows what he is doing. Attend the weekend sessions before exams because he gives extra credit for attending those. In a class where the tests are 100% of the grade you're gonna need the extra credit to do well. Very dorky and corny but a well hearted professor who wants you to learn

Loved him as a professor. He is funny and sweet, and super caring for his students. He gives tons of extra credit if you attend the SI and the extra sessions. Does tons of examples in class so there's no way you can get the tests wrong. Also, he posts tons of practice on Espace... if you do 50 percent of it you're almost guaranteed a 4.0.

During the semester I really did not like him. He always got off topic with silly jokes that were not funny and he would take too long to explain, so I would zone out. He was also a tough grader. However, he had a million examples on line like past quizzes and exams, so for the final I did significantly better than my friend with another teacher.

He gives so much extra credit for attending extra sessions I ended up with about 30 points. Going to the sessions prepares you for exams as well, so put in every effort to attend. This class does take some work outside of class, but if you put in effort there is no reason not to 4.0.

Great professor. He's teaching is a little dry and so is his humor, but he's really nice and gives a lot of extra credit especially if you attend the extra sessions. It definitely makes a difference because the material is difficult. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you won't pass if you don't attend.

Don't believe the bad reviews about this professor. Yes, he does go through material a little quick and doesn't have the best way of explaining it, but his exams look VERY similar to the previous exams he posts online. If you study those, you will get an A. Also, he gives lots of extra credit from the weekend sessions, so try to attend those.

This is the best you can get. A professor who cares and does his best to relate the material to real world scenarios. Overall good guy who will ride his bike in the cold just to give his students more examples. Lots of extra credit if you go to the extra sessions which help prepare for exams. One of the greats at OU. Highly recommended.
