Brother Jonson was a really great teacher, but this course is not something easy. You will need to study every week to get a decent grade on tests.

Brother Johnson is great!! I loved him! He is so nice and was HILARIOUS. His spiritual thoughts are also amazing. He is really nice and makes sure that everyone can succeed. If you don't get an A, it's because you didn't do your part. There are prep quizzes due before class. They help you learn SO much. He gives some extra credit too. He's great!

I loved Brother Johnson as a teacher for intro to stats! He was enthusiastic about the subject and always answered our questions thoroughly and knowledgeably. He is such a funny guy, and made going to a 'boring math class' A LOT less boring. He is very kind and is willing to do anything to help you succeed in the class. Best professor I've had.

I really enjoyed this professor; the one thing that bothered me though was that he would often break us up into groups, and then constantly interrupt us while we were working on our group assignments. He was excellent aside from that. The class is structured very well.

He's a really great teacher. He made statistics, which does not come naturally to me, relatively easy to understand. He's great at explaining how things work, and his exam prep is a life-saver. You can tell he wants you to succeed in his class, so as long as you are doing your part, he gives you every opportunity to do well.

If you can learn things on your own and can Ace every exam you take then attendance doesn't matter. If not, show up! Every point matters!

Class is never boring- he's pretty funny! Before class youre expected to read the lesson and do a prep quiz, then in class theres a team quiz, and after class theres a homework quiz. Each test is cumulative, but its not difficult because you use the things from the first unit again in the following units. I loved his class! Would recommend!

I have always really struggled with math, & was dreading this class, but this actually became one of my favorite classes that I have ever taken. I have never had a math professor care so much about the success of the students. He has open office hours, & each lesson has multiple quizzes which allow you to understand the lesson on a deeper level.

Brother Johnson is a solid choice for statistics. He knows his stuff, and will prepare you well for actuary careers or graduate work in statistics. M424 was a tough class for me, but if you do the homework, go to class, and go to office hours if needed, you should be fine. If taking for M424, do not slack!

Bro. Johnson knows his stastistics! Perhaps too well to teach it to the class. As students we struggle every day on homework assignments to come and do a rote presentation on a board, essentially acting as robots. I wish we could get out of that routine of coming to class and presenting. We'd learn much more if we got out of the mundanity a bit.

There is one big group project due at the end of class but it isn't very difficult or time consuming, he gives you time in class to work on it. Study for the tests, they make up most of your grade. Not bad workload, always willing to help you understand.
