Not sure if attendance is graded. I found that the study guides and studying was more helpful than his lectures.

Very interesting class. He's knowledgeable and uses a lot of examples from outside the book (which was pretty easy to read though). Some of the material is pretty dark/weird and he's fairly soft-spoken so I would sit closer to the front to hear. The best is that he uses tons of media (photos and vidoes, etc) to make points.

I've had Mr. Funderburk twice. First for a Sociology class (in which was greatly presented, fun, and EASY to grasp, I passed with a high grade) and because of my first experience with him I decided to take his Beginner Statistics class and again passed with a high grade. What a great teach! Take him for a pass!

Easy class that wasn't too time-consuming. Weekly reading with quizzes on each section, a discussion board to study for exams (only 3), plus just 3 writing assignments. Could retake quizzes up to 3 times, very lenient.

Literally one of the best professors Ive had thus far. Adjusting to fully online has been a rough experience personally & he made all that much easier. Genuinely cares about students success & learning. Im thinking about signing up for stats because he is such an amazing professor!

I took his online sociology class. It's really easy and straightforward, all the info is in the textbook. He takes a while to respond to emails but when he does he is very accommodating. I really recommend this professor.

I took SOC 2209. This class was fully online and the guidelines were easy to follow. Weekly reading with a 8 or 10 question quiz. There were a few discussion boards and other small assignments, but the majority of the work was the quizzes. There was a lot of good content and I would take one of his other classes!

BEST PROFESSOR EVER! I have always struggled with math, but Brent made it so easy, weekly homework is graded by effort, not correctness. He gives extra credit. His tests are short and he gives study guides.

This professor was knowledgeable and explained everything very well. Any questions that the class had he made sure to slow down and take extra time to make sure everyone understood. The online lecture videos were very helpful and I utilized them when it came time to study for unit tests. I would 10/10 recommend.

Professor Funderburk is very knowledgeable and helps explain new concepts exceptionally well. He goes into details and makes sure every student thoroughly understands the material. He provides lecture handouts as well as homework. As long as you do the homework and study you should be good. I would take a class Professor Funderburk teaches again

Funderburk is extremely laid back and caring. Accepts late assignments. Allows for multiple attempts on quizzes and homework which make it easy to get a good grade. Course content is interesting. Entirely textbook dependent. Definitely take this class for an easy A especially if you are looking for an online class that isn't too intensive.

Very kind, lots of quizzes, but they are all open note. Finials are split up very fairly. Super easy and informative class. A few discussion boards and papers, but he is a very nice grader. 10/10 would recommend.

Great professor! Made everything very easy to understand. He made this class really hard to do poorly in. He had prerecorded lectures in case you had to skip lecture. Was very accommodating and non judgmental. Absolutely loved him and would take him again.

Overall I highly recommend this class as it covered very important material and the work was very manageable. Although, he was late to respond to emails and never got back to me on a couple. There were quite a few mistakes in quizzes that I corrected him on and he fixed some but not all of them. However, he is kind and it was a great class!

I took 2209. Very easy course, but you do learn a lot if you put in the work. Weekley quizzes, sometimes you have a discussion board or an applied exercise (a few long response questions). Very textbook-reliant, but other relevant resources are also provided. Recommend if you need an easy course for credit.

Best statistics professor. Very engaging and genuinely invested in students understanding. Explains concepts clearly, encourages questions, and makes a subject that's usually intimidating feel manageable.
