If you're wondering whether or not to attempt Corona's class I'd say stay away. He's a difficult instructor and an even harsher grader. For example a C test (in the average class) based on a standard grading scale (100 points divided by the number of test questions) will pass the course. With Corona's intricately difficult grade scale your C will become an F (as he divides your grade by God knows what). Further proof you cannot pass his class based on merit/ knowing the material.

Good but very hard class. If you want to learn the math theory behind everything covered in this course, then take him. Expect to study 2 hours a day. His tests are HARD ! ! ! You must make him show you how to do proofs and notation if you expect to do well on his tests. If you love math and the theory behind, then take him. Otherwise avoid.

First off, Corona is a great person. He is a very nice guy and a very fair person. However, in my stats class the only grades were the 4 tests that he gave. I personally did not like that. Additionally, he lectures from the slides, which is beyond boring. His lectures were just unbearable. I don't think he is a bad professor, just teaching style.

Great professor, one of the few for math. You have to put the work in by doing homework, even though it's not graded. Cramming will not allow you to succeed in this course due to few tests & final. Doing the extra credit will help, but not enough if you haven't done homework.

I took corona for calculus 1 which was very hard. To follow, I passed college algebra and pre-cal with a A. However, corona is a very nice man and teaches well but very few pass his class because he teaches old school. For example, he only gave 4 test which consisted 6-9 question for the entire grade with no homework and quizzes. Very Very hard

For those who have to take this class for any sort of pre-req health profession, take a big breath. It will be okay! Take Professor Corona, he understands that 95% of his basic statistics class (1442) are non math majors. He gives you the opportunity of extra credit, will go over tests one on one, and is a good person in general. Good Luck!

Mr. Corona is an excellent teacher. The concepts were tough to understand at first and I had a difficult time following along. Like he says, "it's a different way of thinking."
