I am placing this first comment PROUDLY! Professor Wiley is just straight up amazing and the things he has done this semester are just straight up impressive. People are gonna say he doesn't teach when if you go to class he will stop his lecture to answer any question. (Plus no one ever goes to class anymore). Plus he actually cares,10/10 Luv him

Now the tests aren't easy but they aren't hard. You need to put in time to study but Wiley will be there to help you. I highly recommend him for stats. Ask him about his daughter algebra btw.

He replaces your lowest test score with your practice problems average. He's a nice guy but tends to go on passionate unnecessary stat rants that will just confuse you. He doesn't show examples unless it's review day so going to class was a waste of my time. (I commute) However, It is his first semester at UH so maybe he'll improve next semester.

Professor Wiley is a really nice person, but the homework and tests were nothing alike. Even the review for the tests were nothing like the tests. The practice problems can add up to 50 points to your lowest test grade. And there's a 20 point curve on every test. So that's nice.

This class is beyond frustrating because the lectures barely relate to the exams, which make up almost the entire grade. You'll sit through lectures, take notes, and still feel unprepared for tests. Since there's little room to balance your grade, one bad exam can ruin it. Be ready to teach yourself everything because the lectures won't help

Will tell you practice exams are harder than the exam but they are NOT. DO the practice homework, the extra points are worth it.

Dr. Wiley's course is pretty straight forward, and you only need time to truly understand the math. If you go to tutoring, office hours, and ask for help when needed, you will pass the class. Highly recommend doing the practice problems. He gives you material that will be important and useful, overall great professor!

I hated this class all semester long, I was in tutoring 2-3 days a week for HOURS. Honestly Wiley isn't the best teacher I felt like his lectures and hw never correlated and were not like the exams.

Honestly all the bad reviews are valid with this professor. He's nice and all but imagine a stats class where the grading consists of 90% exams and 10% homework. He moves on so quickly from page to page during class and I tried so hard with exams, studied so hard and ended up having to drop it because I couldn't pass this class. Don't recommend.

Professor Briceon Wiley understands this course is more difficult and offers many curves. You can easily pass the class as long as you do the practice problems and try. But of course it's still Stats so it's difficult. But I taught myself most of it because he moves on from topics quick.

While a difficult course, the professor provides lackluster means of practice to assist in perfecting your knowledge. Provided videos have errors and lack clarification at times. Practice problems are from Mcgraw Hill, are quite limited in quantity and do not translate to the exam all that well. Professor does not provide additional practice.

Wiley tries his best with how overwhelming the material is. His lectures went by very fast and were sometimes hard to follow. Super nice guy though. I feel as though this class should be split into 2 or the lectures should be longer. Tests equal 90% of final grade, though his grading scale is relaxed and offers a lot of extra credit.

How to do well in this class: BE CONFIDENT. Complete practice exams and problems from Wiley's lecture videos as many times until you gain mastery. The wording on the exam may be different (dare I say he's the trickmaster) but if you know the content well, you can still figure it out and not get lose hope during the exam. +do practice problems

Great professor! Try to get a high score on the first test; the next 2 are much harder in my opinion. Even if you don't understand anything, do the practice problems anyway. Ignore the 10% grade weight of homeworks, they're actually worth less than the extra credit from practice problems. Prioritize practice problems over hw if deadline is close.
