This was quite frankly the best math class I have ever taken. I have been attempting to learn logarithms for three years and this is the first time that I was actually able to understand them. Professor Richardson is super engaging and hilarious. I would recommend everyone to take his class.
Amazing professor, taking again next semester.
Prof Richardson is a great teacher. He makes lectures interesting with stories, grades really easy and truly cares to get to know his students.
He's a good professor that offers a lot of chances to improve your grade and he is very accessible and willing to help you if needed.
I am not good at math as most people. He breaks it down in ways that will make you understand. Use lots of extra credit. Online quizzes and homework are a must. 3 test and a final. Book optional. Also does online recording so you can go back and hear the lesson. He also has great stories, respond back quickly on emails, and doors are always open
Mr. Daniel Richardson is a great professor. He explains the work thoroughly to help you understand it. The book explains the work but it is nothing compared to his powerpoint lectures. I would highly recommend taking his class.
Great teacher, but if you fall behind it's impossible to come back from. Teaches everything you need to be successful my only complaint is that he sometimes moves a little fast.
He's teaches you everything you need to know to be successful. Do the extra credit it will help a lot.
Professor Richardson is a very great educator. He goes the extra mile to make sure he teaches the information in the course to the best of his ability and makes it easily learn able at the same time. I have taken him previously before and would take his class again. Highly recommendable.
Dude is cool. Class was easy as a freshly baked pie.
Very nice and easy to reach outside of class. Gives lots of opportunities to improve grade.
He seems to care and give lots of opportunity for extra credit. Very hard to understand lectures because he goes so fast. I would only recommend him to those who are good at math and don't struggle.
Great professor, very fair. must attend every class
Make sure you study
Do the work, you'll be ok! Really good instructor
This was a summer class so it was difficult to keep up. However, he explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. He does offer ways to earn extra credit throughout the entire semester. He stays after class in the ASC pretty much everyday and doesn't mind walking you through topics when he's there. Doing the ALL of the homework is key.
Great Professor! I've taken him twice.
I had professor Richardson over the summer for college algebra, mind you this is a difficult course and it is fast pace, but professor Richardson did a great job making the material understandable. Great teacher!
I've had this professor twice and he was always helpful and understanding. Despite this class being in the summer he did everything he could to make sure everyone understood the material.
I took this class over summer, so that's what made it harder for me than it needed to be and why there was so much homework. Went VERY fast. I'm HORRIBLE with math but Professor Richardson made it as enjoyable as possible. If your decent at math, you'll really like his style. I'm not sure I even passed, because of me, not him, and I still like him.
Professor Richardson gives you plenty of opportunities to bring your grade up as much as possible. The work is up to you, he just gives you the tools to complete it. Always responds to messages and gives entertaining lectures. He genuinely cares for his students. Would definitely take him again.
he is a teacher that you can go to if you need any help
Professor Richardson is by far one of the best teachers I've had at IRSC. He gives plenty of opportunities to improve your grade. Explains problems well and helps you out wherever you need it. Definitely would recommend taking him if you have trouble with math.
A lot of homework, but the extra credit makes up for it. I learned everything through MyMAthLab.
DO the extra credit, and always do the homework
Good math teacher! Lots of extra credit opportunities
Easily the best math class I've ever taken. I not only was able to do the math, but he helped me understand why.
Mr. Richardson's class is fantastic. His lectures are clear and very informative. If you pay attention, go to class, and complete your class work, you should be able to pass. He gives you plenty of opportunities to excel in every way you can. I highly recommend taking this class.
Great professor! Great stories that apply to what he is teaching.
Professor Richardson class might be difficult, but he gives you all the materials that you need in order to pass his class. He gives plenty of extra credit to help you pass his class and is always there to help you.
He truly cares about his students success in class & in life. He will help you anytime he can & answers messages rather quickly. He makes remembering the information easy by telling you stories that help you relate the story to the math you are supposed to remember. His projects relate the information to the real world & help your grade a lot.
Overall really cool dude. He makes the class interesting and understandable. His lectures are VERY helpful. He really is interested in his class and making sure you feel comfortable asking questions or for extra help if needed. Highly recommend!
Gives extra credit, he's very animated and adds a lot of mini stories in-between lectures. Great Teacher who cares about his students!!
Just do the weekly assignments, and all of his practice worksheets before the tests and you should be fine. He is always in his office and offers great reviews before his test.
Daniel Richardson was always available to help his students.
Great professor, gives extra credit and makes class interesting.
Prof. Richardson truly cares about his students. He's funny and super nice, he wants us to do well and will do his best to explain everything so that everyone understands. There is extra credit opportunities and homework/quizzes online but there's no reason not to get As on those if you try. Study guides help, I would definitely take him again.
Basic math class, he teaches the lesson then homework/ quizzes are online. Provides opportunities for extra credit. I would recommend him and would take him again.
Great professor you got to work for your grade
I took Professor Richardson's class this semester (Fall 2018), and I am not the best at math, but he really made sure that I was getting the help I needed and makes sure his students master the material. I would say I had a hard time in this class just because I'm not very good at math, but besides that he is a great professor. 9/10.
Does an excellent job of teaching the material in such a way that it is as relateable as possible and has a focus on real world application, which puts, especially subjects like statistics into more perspective. Mr. Richardson makes his lectures highly entertaining through his wealth of life experience and stories. A real pleasure to have had him.
Professor Richardson is an amazing math professor and this is the second class that I have taken with him. Math is not my subject but he really has helped me understand some things that I have been confused about for years. You do actually have to do work for his class but that's to be expected from a math class. I definitely recommend him.
Had an enjoyable time in his class, a little preachy, but fun. I loved listening to his stories that one way or another relate to the topic at hand as he has had a very interesting life. Homework was a pain.
He is a great professor, if you have any hard time with the material he does all he can to make it understanding. He tells little stories and they are really funny. He is a great professor, really recommend his class.
Good Professor.
His classes are difficult but hes a great professor and genuinely wants you to pass! If you study, work hard, and grab every extra credit opportunity he gives you youll do great!
Professor Richardson is an AMAZING professor. The class consists of lectures (very important and informative), online homework, online quizzes, and tests. There are 3 projects that count as extra credit and are pretty easy. Professor Richardson taught all of the material so well and made statistics fun! I would highly recommend taking him.
Great class! learned a lot and teacher was very helpful. As long as you do your work and do the wiley plus , you'll pass. Has a lot of extra credit to bring your grade up. Would recommend and take again
Professor Richardson was amazing. He made the classes kind of fun because he would tell you stories. And hes always willing to go the extra mile and help you, if youre willing to go the extra mile also.
I've been out of school for awhile so MAT 1033 was a good refresher and Mr. Richardson is a great teacher who tries to make the class interesting even if the students are dead and non responsive. Just be aware that he likes to lead down the wrong path purposefully to ensure people are actually paying attention and thinking.
I had Richardson for Intermediate Algebra. He is a good teacher overall and does want to see his students succeed. However if you do not put in countless hours of work per week you will not pass. Be ready for lots of homework, studying , and all-nighters. Not a ton of Extra Credit offered. I finished this class with a C and was just happy to pass.
The dude deserves a serious raise. He's smart about how he teaches, portrays concepts with engaging meanings, and really makes you want to learn. I never understood why people use English to teach math, but Richardson does it with spice and vigor. I've always struggled with math, but I can say for a sure fact I got at least 75% of what was taught.
Professor Richardson was an amazing professor! I typically struggle with math and I was very nervous about taking statistics but Professor Richardson made things so much easier for me! He gives you hours that you can come in and see him for help and he also gives you a number that you can access him at. He is great!
He's a great teacher, i struggle with math, and his teaching style is perfect for me. He doesn't teach you anything you don't need to know. A lot of homework but if you keep up with it, its easy to pass the class and prepares you for the tests. Professor Richardson will help you in any way that he can. He's very understanding. Definitely recommend
Was a great teacher and very understanding. He offers office hours to assist you in areas you might be struggling in and show you what you got wrong on tests. Offers plenty of extra credit opportunities throughout the semester. Lots of annoying online homework is aggravating at times.
Mr. Richardson always tries to make the class fun and interesting, while telling all kinds of stories while he teaches. Statistics can be a pretty dull and hard subject, but he teaches it very well and wants every one of his students to get it. I would highly recommend him for STA2023! As with any math class be prepared for lots of formulas and hw.
Dr. Richardson is a great professor when I had him for Statistics. The only reason I gave him a 3 on difficulty is because statistics is hard for me. However, he is very inviting and will answer back messages quickly, allow you to visit him in his office. He's a very kind person when I had family emergency and super understanding. Tests are easy.
Profferer Richardson's class is very difficult if you have poor study habits. You must take time out of your week to learn the material or you will fail the class.
Professor Richardson is fantastic when it comes to lectures, he can hold your attention and gives clear instruction on how to tackle each chapter. Homework and quizzes are all online, he also gives some projects and is very clear on what he expects out of them and gives feed back on how to improve them. Make sure to study if you plan on passing.
Professor Richardson is hands down the best/most caring math instructor I have ever had. I'm very bad at math but he really goes the extra mile to help you understand. He uses echo360 so you can always go back and watch the lecture at home. Quite a bit of HW but always gives partial credit on tests. 10/10 recommend
10/10 best teacher. Clear grading, occasional extra credit, do the HW and Quizzes online and you'll pass the Tests. Study guides for each test given before to study and teacher helps you out outside of class. Classes recorded on Echo360 in case you missed something in class and ATTENDANCE helps you in the long run!! Took him for 8am class.
Class was express, so it was fast paced, professor richardson went over every chapter before the best and always offered extra credit on MML. I would take again.
Good class I dont recommend this class if it is exspress unless you are taking it just for review.
Good professor. Lots of homework so make sure you are willing to dedicate much time to the course. Give partial credit on exams! Extra credit opportunities. One drop test and even gives the option of doing another test so your lowest score could be dropped, so kinda like 2 dropped tests if needed.
Professor Richardson is awesome. Super down to earth and teaches things in a way that makes it easy to understand. Put the work in and do the homework, study, and you'll do well.
He is an amazing professor, he does his best to make lectures interesting. There are four tests and 20 WIleyPlus assignments. It's not a big work load, just do not procrastinate. There are many extra credit activities, they saved my grade. Attendance isn't a grade but you get extra credit for perfect attendance.
AMAZING TEACHER PROVIDED EXTRA CREDIT, GAVE US FEEDBACK VERY PATIENT SUPER FUNNY AND GAVE US REVIEWS FOR EACH TEST.
Professor Richardson is great teacher, he loves his job and you can tell. He really tries to be helpful and available to students who may need or want extra help. Make sure you keep up with the WileyPlus homework and quizzes because the due dates can't be changed. Also make sure you STUDY and show up to ensure you pass this course.
He gives some heavy lectures and is goes a little fast but precise. He a pretty solid teacher and he shares a lot of stories that sometimes does not even relate to the specified topic. Overall, I would take him again but would have studied a little more.
Extremely helpful outside of class. Would definitely take again.
Great professor. I had failed statistics years before and I got a 97 retaking it with him. Pay attention and you'll get a good grade. Tells good stories as well.
You can miss up to three classes and he is understanding about them. He uses Echo360. I would recommend printing out the chapter packets for notes.
This Professor was AMAZING!!! He really cares about his students and wants them to pass. He is a really good teacher and will gladly stay after class to explain things to you. LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT!!! Print out the chapter packets or it will be hard to keep up with notes. His tests are just like the homework and quizzes. I did not use the book
Attendance isn't mandatory, but after three classes you'll begin to incur a penalty. The biggest penalty will be missing out on the class itself. Professor Richardson is knowledgeable, charismatic, and tells some truly great stories. He also has a great style - I'm math challenged and he made Statistics easy. I HIGHLY recommend taking him!!!
He really cares about his students and wants them to pass. Towards the end of the semester after he was done lecturing he would let us work on our homework that is online and offers a lot of help. Attendance is not required but if you have perfect attendance he will give extra credit.
Truly a nice guy. His classes have a simple structure; basically just follow the notes do the homework and take the test. Good amount of extra credit. Messages back within the day and was very helpful. Also had some great stories. Definitely reccomend over any other math professor though I can't compare because I've only taken Professor Richardson.
Professor Richardson truly cares about his students. He does not mind going back a slide during a lecture if you missed something. He gives inspiring lectures and offers extra help if needed. The exams are slightly challenging but not impossible if you do the study guide given. There is homework every class per usual for any math class.
Professor Richardson is a very fun and outgoing teacher. His homework is fairly easy and if you pay attention to his lectures you will ace the test.
If you do the homework you will pass. Hes a good lecturer
I absolutely loved him as a professor! Although there is a lot of homework, it is fairly easy if you pay a small bit of attention to the lectures. He is the best teacher when it comes to making sure students understand his teachings, and will do his best not to leave anyone behind. He's there to make sure we truly understand the best we can.
Cares about his students
Amazingly encouraging professor, never neglects or gives up on his students. He will do anything in his power to help you to succeed. Most interesting professor ever!
Professor Richardson was the best math professors Ive ever had at IRSC. He is always caring towards his students and really wants the class to do the best that they possible can! I would take him again in a heart beat!
Show up, pay attention, do homework and quizzes and you will get the understanding. Professor is caring, inspirational, and fair. He makes the concepts understandable and if you pay attention, use the tools he provides then the tests are very rewarding. Don't miss the extra credits and projects.
Professor Richardson goes out of his way to make sure you succeed and understand all of the concepts he gives. Tons of homework but only benefits you when it comes to the test! Best math teacher Ive had at IRSC.
Awesome professor explained problems on the homework and tests.
Applies everyday life to math, professional and great teacher. I would take this class again if I could
I've taken professor Richardson for two classes now and hes amazing. He prepares his lectures in advanced so you can print them and follow along with him. He gives extra credit and is wiling to help as long as you show effort. 10/10.
He provides quite a few opportunities to receive extra credit and explains concepts with detail. His homework is directly related to his lecture, and during class he tells some personal stories to connect the lesson to real-world scenarios. He sometimes gives a lot of homework, but it's usually just enough to make sure you understand the material.
The best way I can describe Professor Richardson is that HE IS GREAT! Don't be fooled, this class is tough, and is something that should be taken with a light load of classes for the semester, this class has a lot of online homework, but it comes in handy. He prepares you to pass the exams, and he will work out a time to meet and help you.
The good part about his class is that he records the lectures so if you miss a class you wont be clueless. He makes alot of math mistakes when teaching so if your like me and struggle with math you might walk out of class feeling more confused. He will give partial credit on tests which help with your grade.
Professor Richardson is an awesome person and teacher. He is inspirational caring with amazing and sometimes funny lectures where he applies the math problems to real life situations. He encourages students to make time for their lives but study hard. He always says strive for the "A" in all classes not just his. I would take more classes with him.
Care's a lot about his students but does expect you to work. Very inspirational and awesome anecdotes that'll help you remember lessons.
Prof. Richardson is hands down the best Teacher I've ever had. Took him for the second time this semester and will do so again next semester. He keeps things interesting and does really well to make sure questions are answered and will explain things in as many different ways as he needs to in order to make things more clear for the students.
Professor R is possibly the best professor at IRSC. He really cares about his students success. He does have you purchase an access code for WileyPlus, and the homework is a pain. Most of his test questions are based off what was covered in class, the given review sheets, and definitions found within the chapter. Study, put in the effort, get an A.
I struggle with maths. The readings, homeworks and quizzes are foreign. When you get a teacher that lectures well, the stories, examples and projects can make it come together where you get the concepts. Add funny, approachable, human and caring and listen to echo 360's and keep trying to read and by test time you will get it and be so happy.
Would definitely take again.
gives good extra credit opportunities. helps you understand stats.
Professor Richardson is a super chill guy, who has a pretty relaxed voice too (so beware of falling asleep in his lectures). He offers tons of extra credit... and if you attend every class you'll have a 3% bump on your final grade. Tests are all multiple choice, except for the final. Homework and quizzes due on the date set without any extensions.
A great professor! Youre allowed 1 notecard of notes on each test. Helping his students is his top priority. He breaks up the learning with very interesting stories & hes a pretty funny guy. But, If you're a rude student who likes to walk out of the classroom a lot / talk while hes teaching or leave class early this isnt the prof. for ya.
Professor Richardson is a really good professor. He is a really fair grader and even gives partial credit on his tests. He does assign a decent amount of homework and expects you to work hard in his class. Professor Richardson does explains concepts really well. His stories are also pretty funny. I would definitely recommend this professor!
Professor Richardson is a decent human being , as well as wonderful instructor.
Professor Richardson is a very good teacher. He truly cares about his students and really wants everyone to pass. He answers his emails quickly (even on weekends or late at night). He tells funny stories that end up pertaining to the subject material. He gives extra credit and partial credit on tests. I would def take him again.
he is a nice guy and will help you but sometimes he gives you way more info then you need
Tells stories between lectures, he also gives a bunch of extra credit.
Daniel Richardson is by far one of the best math professors at IRSC. He truly wants his students to understand the material and do their best in and out of the classroom. He is knowledgeable about his subjects and tries his best to help all of his students. He gives extra credit and will work with you so you do well in his class.
Lots of homework, gets distracted and off topic very easily, helps students until they understand the material, gives lots of extra credit opportunities. Pretty fair professor.
Professor Richardson is awesome! Keeps it interesting with lots of stories. Extra credit for perfect attendance and projects. Easily accessible via blackboard messaging and has a clear schedule of when he is in his office. Explains the lectures clearly and in a way that is easy to understand. Uses Wiley Plus for homework and quizzes.
He is very understanding and tries to help out if you don't understand. very good at explaining and working through problems.
He helps a lot if you ask for it. I was pretty nervous about taking statistics, but he made it easy to understand. Great professor and friendly as ever. Just do your work.
This is the second class I have taken with Professor Richardson and I am signed up for a third in the summer. He makes learning any sort of math fun and has some pretty great stories too.. I say class is "Mandatory" however it is not, if you have perfect attendance at the end of the semester he rewards you with EC, however he is very understanding!
He is an amazing professor. He makes learning statistics, which can be a hard subject for most people easy.
Professor Richardson made the lectures very interactive, and was overall a great teacher. I learned a lot while taking this course, and would take him again
Professor Richardson was so great. Honestly don't think I would've passed this class without him. The material is tricky sometimes, but he always explained it clearly so everyone could understand. The online quizzes were super hard, but the tests were never too bad. Make sure you do the homework and online quizzes to pass. Definitely recommend him.
Richardson is an awesome professor. I've taken him twice now. His classes have a simple structure: follow the notes, do the homework, and take a few quizzes (which we tended to take in groups) + tests. Good amount of extra credit. Messages back within the day and was very helpful. Also had some great stories. I expect to keep my A after the final.
Professor Richardson is a great professor. He takes extra time to show you more than one way to do a problem. He gives extra credit opportunities all the time. He is someone who actually cares about his students' well-being, you are not just a head/paycheck to him. There is a ton of homework but it is just the right amount to learn the material
I have now taken Professor Richardson for 2 semesters now. He is a really great guy and super friendly. He helps you when you need it and responds to emails quickly. There is a good amount of homework for this course but it is necessary in order to perfect each lesson. He tells some pretty funny stories in class and is a great teacher.
hes a good professor, I'm terrible at math so he always makes a point to associate lessons with things you can relate to and remember. He's very caring and loves math and truly wants to see you succeed. He offers a lot of extra credit which is very helpful.
Great teacher gives great life lessons!
Great teacher who gives valuable life lessons!
was good.
Great Professor!
Hes awesome
This was my second class with professor richardson, I am registered for a third over the summer, he really cares about what he teaches us in class and he even throws in a little extra to get us ready for the next class.
He's seriously a great dude. It's my second semester with him. He's a great guy. He tells amazing stories, gives extra credit, and actually cares about you as a student. The homework is just because it's freakin' college algebra. If you want someone who knows what they're doing, is accessible and willing to help you out, Richardson is your man.
great class professor is funny however will lecture throughout the duration of class
I've been in both classes, and I can honestly say my solid opinion is that he's better at teaching algebra. He's a caring, lovable dude with amazing stories, but he's better at algebra.
Professor Richardson was an amazing teacher. He incorporated his own stories into the lectures, and they were actually really interesting and he gave good life advice. The class itself is mainly online homework assignments and in class tests. The only advice i have is make sure to check when the due dates are for them- I always forgot
He was an amazing professor, even though the course material was hard, he did his best to make it easy for us to understand. He offers multiple extra credit opportunities so you can actually focus on understanding the material without unnecessary stress from having only tests, quizzes, and homework.
Nice teacher, solid guy. Will help you and is pretty up beat in class. Better than a lot of math teachers.
He's a great professor who truly loves and has a passion for what he teaches. Online homework and quizzes are due half an hour before class. Attendance is mandatory. It goes towards your grade. Study and do your work or you will not pass this class. You have to do your part. Tests weigh about 75% of your grade.
His lectures can get a tad bit boring but he's really nice and doesn't mind going over something again if you didn't understand it. He only gave us one pop quiz but allowed us to all work together. The rest of the quizzes were done at home. He gives extra credit opportunities and the work load is not a lot if you keep up with it.
if you dont like or know math take him youll understand it
He is an amazing professor that cares how you do in the class and in your future. He is available outside of class for office hours and online. He gets back to question or concerns in a timely manner. Would defiantly take him again!
Professor Richardson is a great math professor. I've taken him for 3 years now and have been able to understand his teachings. Gives lots of extra credit and perfect attendance.
Great teacher for statistics, come to class.
Really confusing, unclear and unprofessional
He's a pretty cool teacher always talks about life stories but when he teaches its clear and if your confused he will take the time to explain it. He's accessible outside of class and he gives extra credit. Just do your homework and pay attention to the lessons and you'll pass
Professor Richardson is a great teacher. If you go to class and listen to what he is teaching and practice, you will be able to do good on homework/tests. He gives lost of extra credit opportunities and will help you with anything you ask about.
You will never find a professor who cares more about your succsess inside and outside of the classroom. Hes extremely intelligent and kind. Wants you to understand the material and do all he can to help you. Offers A LOT of EC. Tests correlate with lectures and gives you credit for questions you get wrong if you show work. Show up, youll pass!
He was an incredible professor with a spectacular teaching ability coupled with the capability of entertaining the class along with his lectures. He was understanding and even dropped a test when he recognized that the test was getting strangely low numbers. The only detriment was the amount of work that the class sometimes felt was overwhelming.
Great professor, I've had Richardson twice now. once in 2016 and again in 2019. He is fast paced in comparison to others but not as fast as Rosenthal so no worries about him running out of breath after each example. Richardson is very tech savvy and wants everyone to learn to make their own study plans that work best for the individual. Take him!!!
Anyone with a review is because he gives you extra credit for doing this! This class was terrible. Homework doesnt match the test no accurate reviews
Richardson gave a lot of lectures but during each one talked about his wife or something completely of topic for at least 65% of each class. Not funny at all and makes people feel stupid
Professor Richardson moves extremely quickly so pay attention. But he has no issues with repeating himself if needed. He's extremely patient and does not get overwhelmed or stressed out easily. He does not give grades. He gives you extra credit for perfect attendance and a few extra credit projects. But you have to do well on the test to pass.
Professor Richardson is one of the best math instructors I have ever had. He make statistics seem simple and relates the lessons to real life examples. He does his work through a Powerpoint slide and allows the class to take their own notes. If I had to take another math class it would for sure be with Professor Richardson.
Great teacher. The class can be challenging for some but he will go slow and explain things if you need him to.
He goes through his lectures fast but doesnt mind repeating himself, he is patient and is quick to respond in messages. Make sure to actually study and not miss class in order to not fall behind!
He is a great teacher, expects effort and fair.
Professor Richardson's statistics class is rather generous in how it's graded. The homework is extremely easy as well. I would recommend this class to anyone who has to take statistics.
that he was very supportive over each of his students!!!!! he really took the time to know us by name, he answered our emails promptly, and he always, always encouraged us throughout class !!!
This professor gives you the information you need to use Statistics properly, he genuinely cares if you need help and will always be flexible if you have problems catching up.
Show up and pay attention, do the homework in wiley and you should do great in the course, when needing extra he was always there when needed.
Great professor! Gives lots of help if needed and explains the material every way possible to understand.
Was very quick to respond to questions outside of class. Didn't hesitate to go back over material if someone didn't understand.
He offers lots of extra credit which helped my grade tremendously. Thankfully we did not have to Pay for the online textbook, which is where the homework was done. Only downside is his monotone voice I was falling asleep! I am not a good math student but he made statistics (almost) easy! He is always available and willing to help via email or ASC.
What a great teacher. He's funny and kind and he really cares that you learn the material. He has been the best teacher I have had in a long time. The class is hard but somehow he makes me excited to learn the material. I would take him again, if i had the chance. Make sure you study he DOES NOT give away grades.
He was a great professor all around that loves to help students learn. It is a hard subject to get good at, but he offers tons of practice and extra credit to help the students. Having decent algebra skills will help with this course.
The class was great for being in a summer class. He goes into detail and is helpful in and out of class
Hes really good at explaining every chapter and walk through each problem throughout the lecture to help you learn it. Also, he actually cares about you learning it and is always open to help. Gives life advice that is actually helpful at times during lectures. Stay up on the homework and youll do good in this class with this professor.
Mr. Richardson is a great teacher! He really cares about his students and will do whatever it takes to help you understand the information. If you ever have a problem he is very quick to respond as well. As long as you pay attention to his lectures and do the homework and quizzes, it will be a relatively easy A. Just be prepared to put in some work
To be clear, I'm not good with math whatsoever, and did not do amazingly in this course. That being said, Professor Richardson is quite possibly the best math teacher I've ever had. He is very clear in lecture, demonstrates tips and tricks in mathematics, and has the occasional (usually subject related) anecdote to keep everyone awake. I Recommend!
Mr Richardson has taught me to push through to the end and be successful i am struggling in his class but passing, he convinced me push through the pain and complete with a good grade. the material is hard but once you apply your self to the content you will instantly understand it. If i could recommend anything i would say study everything he says
Mr. Richardson is truly an amazing professor. I have taken him for all my required math credits and every time I am so happy I did. The way he teaches actually allows you to understand him. For tests, if you study the work he did in class you'll do good (and always show your work). The homework does not match the tests at all, it's just practice.
He is a really good professor and the class is not hard as long as you follow along. Lectures are recorded and posted on BB so you can review them whenever you want. The tests are like the homework. He is funny and relates stories to his explanations.
A good teacher that gives lots of homework to complete, the homework is necessary because this class is quite challenging. His lectures are good and he tries to make as easy as possible by providing examples and different way to compete problems. His tests are not challenging you just have to make sure to go over all the reviews. Would take again.
Professor Richardson makes statistics interesting and understandable. This class is a bit difficult but if you watch the echo 360's and keep up its not too hard. You get what you give in the class. Professor Richardson is very helpful and i would highly recommend!
This was my first time taking Mr. Richardson's class, but he is by far one of my favorite professors that I've had so far. This class is pretty intense, but with him as a teacher the class is much easier. He is very understating and extremely helpful. I had some problems with the online work and he responded almost immediately. Overall great guy!
Makes statistics more interesting than it actually is. tells really great stories!
Really good professor, but pop quizzes, and projects are sometimes tough.
He has a unique type of teaching. I semi struggled through this course, but he is a super nice teacher that is very understanding.
By far the greatest teacher/professor that I've ever had! His lectures are very clear and he records them so you can access them if you miss class or want to review what he said in class. When I say attendance is mandatory, it was 3% of your grade. Easy homework and quizzes and as long as you pay at attention in class, the test's will be easy. EC!
I'm not good at statistics and I think I did moderately decent in his class, the class is hard but doable.
Richardson is one of the best professors I have ever had. HIs lectures are organized and he almost never misses class. He is accessible outside of class. He really cares about his students and wants them to do well. If you put in the work, he will work with you and you can pass.
Great professor who makes the material interesting and easy to comprehend. If you ever find yourself failing his class it is on you. He gives you everything you need to be able to learn and pass this course.
Truly a great teacher, gives lots of extra credit. Pay attention and do your homework and you'll pass!
great teacher shows you everything you need to pass the class the test are not very hard and he gives out sufficient extra credit
explains problems thoroughly and gives accurate examples. lots of extra credit
great teacher, very interesting 100% take him again
Such a great professor, definitely one of my favorites! I really hate math, but he made is bearable and understandable.
Good professor. He goes off of his powerpoint and teaches you everything that will be on the test.
Great professor, took him for two semesters and passed both classes.
He explains everything very clearly
Richardson is a great Prof. Just Show up!!!
Honestly one of the best professors Ive ever had. He teaches well and makes sure he keeps the class upbeat and fun. He always has a study guide for the tests and is really understanding. Amazing professors.
My Professor does a good job at describing the material. He does a good job at lecture.
I hate math and I adored this class. A lot of work but rewarding and I ended up understanding all of it.
Professor Richardson gives good lecture, and explains problems well if i don't understand something.
I have taken him before for my Intermediate Algebra class and received an A but this Statistics course was much harder. He goes pretty fast in is lectures but he also has them all up online so you can go back. Attendance is a grade. It is very easy to fall behind but if you pay attention, do all the homework and reviews, you will pass.
amazing teacher
This is my second time taking statistics and i highly recommend this professor. He really wants his students to understand the material and is always there to give extra help if needed. Gives great feedback, and is very understanding. Also he gives many extra credit opportunities which is awesome because this is not an easy course.
He is a great Professor who really cares about all of his students succeeding. He assigns homework, quizzes on MyLabMath and uses that grade sometimes. His tests are easy and straightforward, but he does give pop quizzes in class. He also gives partial credit for problems worked out. All around a great teacher and cares about passing.
I had him for Statistics and he read off his powerpoints which are accessible online. Other than that he told many stories (a LOT of stories) that sometimes related to Statistics, most of the time did not. I did not even crack open the textbook and just took notes in his class which was enough to pass. He also gives a lot of extra credit!
He is a great professor! He cares about his students and replies to emails quickly. Gives extra credit opportunities . He is very enthusiastic about teaching. Show up to class, do the homework assignments and you should receive good grades.
He really knows what hes doing. As long as you do homework and pay attention in class this should be one of the easiest classes youll take. Also very funny and shares great stories.
difficult class but manageable. professor is nice and easy to reach outside of class. i had 3 projects and he showed us how to do all of them. records his lessons off echo360 so you can watch them later on which is helpful. offers extra credit as well
Prof. Richardson has a way of making boring math fun! he is a great personality and it reflects in his teachings! I would highly recommend him to anyone.
So far I think he is a great professor, the class is definitely not easy and you will have to put in work to pass the class. Whenever I would have any difficulty with a question on any of the chapters he would also take the time to make sure I understood.
PROFESSOR RICHARDSON REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS. HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A HEAVY WORKLOAD WITH THIS COURSE, HE OFFERS A FAIR AMOUNT OF EXTRA CREDIT. I FOUND MYSELF LOST IF I MISSED A CLASS BUT I OVERALL ENJOYED THIS PROFESSOR.
Makes things more complicated/confusing than they need to be. He will go off topic about a complicated topic then 15 minutes of unnecessary lecturing later, tell you that you dont need to know that. However, he is very knowledgeable and knows what hes doing, if you ask questions he will help you to understand and the course is well organized.
Really great professor! He provides lots of extra credit opportunities and plenty of resources to prepare for tests.
This professor is very straight forward and what you put in you will get out, but he is there every step of the way. He is always there for any question or help. An overall great guy that slides in some great life lessons to keep it interesting. I give him 2 thumbs up.
Awesome professor, the class itself is fairly hard unless you are really good at math. He really cares about your grades and will insure that you have a good concept of the material. Would take one of his classes again!
I really enjoyed Professor Richardson's class. I personally hate math and Statistics made me really like it, it really gets you thinking and truly the class will never make you bored at all!
Awesome Professor makes class enjoyable and does a great job of teaching the course.
The instructor provided examples to explain difficult ideas and concepts.
Great professor. Super funny and pretty easy class.
Professor Richardson truly cares about his students and the topics of lecture. He gives fun analogies to help you understand the material. He gives multiple attempts for extra credit. I would highly suggest being present and listening to him lecture. This man is completely genuine.
Dr. Richardson is one of the best math professors that I have had. I have taken him for 2 different classes and received an A in both of them. He takes the time to teach and really wants every student to not just pass, but to get an A. He is always available, even after hours. He gives extra credit but you do have to earn it. I highly recommend him
Professor Richardson taught me not only how to be a better statistician, he also taught me how to think more proficiently. He is the most well spoken professor I have ever been taught by. He does the problems up on the board (which is linked to his computer.) and in doing so shows very clearly how to correctly use the scientific calculator.
Mr Richardson is a very caring instructor. He knows statistics very well and is excellent at explaining the concepts.
Professor Richardson is a very honest and caring teacher. He will work with you with whatever problem you have. He is very passionate about teaching. Great professor highly reccomend.
Fun teacher, but still hard
One of my favorite professors that I've had. He takes really boring concepts and somehow makes them more interesting by using personal stories or experiences. Great professor.
He records his classes so you won't mess a thing, but attendance is a grade. He tells a lot of stories which is good for when you feel your brain is fried in lecture. Extra credit opportunities as well. I enjoyed his class and would take him again.
IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT TAKING HIM: DO IT !! I cannot recommend a teacher more. i am one of those " cant do math" kind of girls and this professor made stats a joy to learn. truly an amazing teacher and always willing to help outside of class. lots of extra credit is offered and he drops a quiz and homework.
Daniel Richardson was one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is one of the only teachers that actually care about the students. He will take the time to make sure his students understand each concept and will do everything he can to help you pass. I would 100% recommend this teacher to anyone that needs to take statistics.
Daniel Richardson is a the type of professor that is caring but expects good work from his students. He was always helpful and always gave a good answer to my questions. All in all an outstanding professor
fun lectures and easy to understand
Dr. Richardson is a friendly, funny and overall a great teacher. He explains the material as best as possible so that everyone understands. He records and posts his lectures so that you can go back to watch, gives pop quizzes so be ready at anytime and extra credit. Teaches a little fast but pay attention and you'll be fine.
He gives out so many extra credit. One of the professors actually care about your work. You will easily access outside class time. Just only one don't is sometime I can't read his handwriting. Otherwise, you can't find anyone better than him.
I have taken a class that he taught before and I requested him again. Hes a great teacher and hes hilarious! Id definitely recommend him!!
One of my favorite professors! He made a difficult subject understandable. Any hard concepts - he made sure to give lots of examples so we all understood.
I haven't taken a math class in years and it was never my strongest subject. If you work on the material and participate in this class you will pass. It's not going to be handed to you but it's worth the effort. Professor Richardson is someone who cares about his students and gives you all the tools you need to pass the course.
Professor Richardson is an amazing professor who genuinely cares about his students. He is very clear during his lectures and makes it fun and easy. He offers plenty of extra credit to boost your grade. Attendance is VERY mandatory and vital to your success in class.
Professor Richardson cares about his students and wants to make sure you know the material. Pay attention, print out his notes, do the homework, and use his review problems to your advantage because they are all very similar to the tests. He likes to ramble and tell stories that have nothing to do with statistics, but overall he is a great guy.
Richardsons lectures were not easy to follow and he jumps from topic to topic. There were no real notes given and he often goes on pointless rants. He also makes you watch extra lectures online outside of class time. The only reason I will receive an A in this class is that I have taken statistics before. He does give extra credit and test reviews.
Best math professor I've ever taken. I'm terrible at math, but he makes it ridiculously simple to understand. If I can pass this class anyone can! Make sure to do the homework and quizzes and actually pay attention to it, it helps.
Great professor, with lots of random stories about his life but successfully teaches only what you need to know in this class for tests. Also records all the classes and uploads it on blackboard which is great. pretty simple as long as you learn the lessons ,do the homework and quizzes which is all online and practice his reviews for the test.
Best Professor I have had so far has amazing office hours outside of class and his door is always open for any questions you may have. Records all of the lectures posting them online in case you miss a class or need to go back and relearn material (huge plus).You earn your grade but he will help you as much as he can to make the grade you earn an A
His Lectures are great! Super thorough explanations, good examples. He is also very funny and he likes to teach which makes it more enjoyable. If you show and take notes, do the study guide and the homework, you'll be fine. Essentially DO THE WORK and you'll be solid!
Gives an amazing lecture and makes sure you understand the material. He will go out of your way to make sure you understand. All quizzes are online but all tests are in class and none are fill in the blank. It is an easy class if you take time out to really understand it.
Not a difficult class, the workload is manageable and the professor really cares about his students.
Great professor, if you put in effort you should be more than fine.
Wileyplus homework and quizzes were the hardest part, prepare to go to the ASC lab, but that is for all STA2023 classes.
Is a really enjoyable professor to be around as long as you're prepared and attend class.
Like any higher-level math class, you need to pay attention in order to understand the chapters & future chapters because they build on one another. Professor Richardson makes lectures easy to understand & will always re-explain anything you need extra help on. Records all lectures so you can always look back and refresh yourself. Highly recommend!
Richardson is one of the best professors I've ever had. His lectures are very clear and helpful. He gives many extra credit opportunities throughout the semester and is always trying to help your grade. Please make sure you go to class and pay attention to all instructions.
Professor Richardson is awesome! He combined fun and learning so well!! he was also very understanding throughout this craziness with COVID, and I could tell he put the students first! Gained my confidence back in math because of him!
Great teacher! Do your HW and quizzes and ask a lot of questions
Professor Richardson is one of, if not, the best math instructor I have ever had. He makes everything sound much more simple and keeps the class interested the entire time.
Math has never been my best subject, so this class was challenging for me. However, Dr. Richardson is always there to assist you with any problems you may have regarding the course material. There are a lot of extra credit opportunities to help boost your grade.
Loved the guy! He made statistics way easier than I thought it was going to be but it wasn't a lack of information. He didn't grade easy but he didn't grade hard either. He loves going on tangents but what teacher doesn't. Would take him again if I could.
Good professors, his lectures made sense. He is always available outside of class. As long as you do your online homework/quizzes you should be good for the tests.
Professor Daniel Richardson is a fantastic professor because he always tries hard and pushes its students to have a better understanding of the lecture, and he always give a lot of homework so we can prove more and learn more. I think his class was well organized and he taught us good. I will recommend someone to take this professor.
Great teacher! Hard class, you do not want to skip! Professor Richardson is very understanding and willing to work with you. Funny as well, which makes the class a little easier to get through.
I would recommend him to anybody who wants to take statistics. He is an excellent professor. He provides a lot of extra credit and is also extremely helpful. The lectures are easy to understand the way he teaches which made the course interesting for me.
chill and tells fun stories
great proffesor takes time to make sure you understand the material.
Very hard class for me personally but he tries his best to get everyone to understand.
There are many extra credit opportunities. The homework is more annoying than challenging. If one has a question he attempts to explain it the best he can. Also, He has some interesting stories.
Professor Richardson made statistics really understandable. I would not recommend missing class or you will be lost. The extra credit opportunities are great!!
I enjoyed the class, would have preferred to finish it in class but due to virus it was moved to online and that caused me to struggle a bit towards the end.
Nice guy, really funny but no one laughs at his jokes. Gets on tangents for a while that I don't always understand how it relates back. Sometimes he will talk about something for like 15 min and then say you don't need that, Lots of office hours, and records lectures so you can listen but extra credit for perfect attendance.
There are opportunities for extra credit, and his lecture videos and supplemental materials are very helpful. The material is difficult, but if you spend lots of time studying the textbook the tests are easy.
He is a really great professor. Being online is hard, but he recorded lectures that cover each chapter, and gave tons of resources. I took this course over the summer, so it was meant to go fast, but there is only 1 homework and 1 quiz for each chapter, and the quizzes give 3 chances per question. Make sure to study for tests, they are worth a lot.
Mr. Richardson is a wonderful teacher! I was nervous at first to take statistics online but he came through. He always worked though a lot of examples and took time to help us with any questions. All resources including the book are free with the course. Provides many opportunities to help better your grade. I would take another one of his courses.
He will teach you statistics.
I love this man. He is the absolute best professor Ive ever had. Ive struggled in math my whole life and he made this course so easy for me. If youre taking any sort of math course, take it with Richardson you wont regret it. Hes hilarious as well with tellings of life stories. Easily one of the best professors at irsc.
Great professor, he really cares about his students. Good communication. If you struggle with subjects like this take him during the Fall or spring.
He is a very clear spoken professor, but will definitely make you work for the grade you want. His communication skills are great, just make sure you communicate effectively and efficiently or else his help becomes limited. He does offer extra credit but will not repeat himself about it. Make sure you check announcement regularly.
He was always communicating. Really responsible. There are no freebies in this class however, you have to work hard for your grade.
Best teacher I have ever had at any institution. Truly cares about his students and their success. I can not recommend taking his class more! The course content is challenging, and you have to put in the time and effort and do the work, but professor Richardson provides more than enough material, knowledge, & support to guide you through it.
He's a great teacher that cares about students. Online math can seem challenging but he makes it fun and explains really well. He uses piazza where anybody in his courses asks questions and anyone can answer. There are a few projects but he counts those towards extra credit. He will answer any messages in a timely manner.
This was my second class with him and I wish he would teach more math classes I will have to take. Very fun classes and even makes the online lectures amazing. Love his teaching style! The textbook was free online, I didn't read it because he teaches everything important in class.
I took Professor Richardson online for fall. He is such an amazing professor. He is so passionate and caring about his students. He records all his lectures and is super assessable. He provides so much extra credit at the end of course and is always there to help when you need it.
Professor Richardson is an amazing professor. I took his class after hearing great feedback and it was a great decision. He provides lots of extra credit and is so caring for his students. He also is very assessable if you need any help throughout the course ! He also records all his lectures which is veryyy useful!
Professor Daniel Richardson gives great feed back and lectures help out a lot.
Good professor who is willing to help students any way he can. Homework and quizzes regularly, but they help prepare for exams. Projects throughout the semester, but they are simple. Lots of extra credit opportunities.
I enjoyed this professor because he gave multiple opportunities to raise your grade. You had ample time to get the assignments done and it was not overwhelming. The quizzes are retakeable with no limit and the tests are on the same platform so that you can get used to how the questions are asked.
He's a good teacher, who made me understand what the math I was doing. Just put in the time and I think you will pass this class.
Class was organized with lots of extra credit opportunity but he makes you work for the extra credit. Have to make 100% on extra credit quiz in order for you to get awarded the extra credit. You have to submit scratch paper that shows your work for every test and extra credit quiz. He is a reliable professor, always there when needed.
I really enjoyed this class and I recommend anyone who will be taking Mac 1105 next semester I definitely recommend this professor. He gives you a lot of chances for extra credit and he is great with responding quickly if you have a question about the course or the lesson he will always reply.
Multiple examples given and extra credit options available.
Good professor hard class.
He is a great teacher. I would say pay attention to the due on all the assignments. He wants you to pass. You have to do the work. He has a lot of ways to get in contact and the other students.
He cares about his students, if you need help he is available. The class is difficult but if you put the work in you'll pass. Homework took me hours to complete, but it helped me understand the material.
Professor Richardson is a professor that you need to make sure that you attend his lectures or you will not be able to pass the class. Also when he gives you times where you can recieve extra credit make sure to take it because it may not be offered often. Overal great professor just was a difficult class to pass.
Great Prof when it comes to teaching stats, gives many opportunities for extra credit. lots of work, like, A LOT of work. Projects, discussions, homework, and quizzes. This class takes a lot of work. Really takes pride in teaching you and very helpful. Really does want you to learn and understand the course material. but be prepared to work a lot.
He truly is a great professor, he cares about his students and helping them pass. He also responds to emails quickly and gives out extra credit. You won't regret taking him. Make sure you complete the homework and quiz assignments on time and you should pass. I also recommend printing out his study guides before his tests because they help a lot!
Professor Richardson is a very nice professor. It is clear that he sincerely cares about his students. He has been very helpful and encouraging throughout the semester. Prioritizing is key in this class. I cannot stress this enough! He gives quite a bit of assignments, but he does give you enough time to complete them.
He is knowledgeable and can convey that well. He is also unequivocally the most accessible educator that I've ever met. He had 10 hours of open virtual office hours every week - without fail. He also provided extra credit opportunities, information about tutors and how to make math financial valuable. Despite some faults, he is a good professor.
Truly a great professor, has clear and present lectures. Extremely helpful and easily accessible if needed for help with homework or to better understand the lecture. Does has some projects that can be a tad tedious, however overall teaches you a lot and works with you.
Professor Richardson is a real gem. He has quite the personality and is enjoyable to be in his lectures. The material can get a bit difficult, but that is to be expected in a statistics course. There is a lot of assignments, but he gives the students plenty of time to complete them and assigns them way ahead of time. Definitely participate!
overall great teacher and very helpful.
I just took this course with professor Richardson. If you attend the online classes and ask questions the course should be pretty easy. The homework and quizzes given are very helpful come test time. There are plenty of chances to retake and practice more on the homework and quizzes before the due date. He gives passes for up to 10 late assignments
Prof. Daniel Richardson is excellent. If you need help, he will gladly do that. Pay attention , take notes and participate. You will do fine if you do these things.
Professor R. is awesome. I look forward to his lectures, and if you miss one, he does his best to post them so you don't fall behind. He expects work from you so don't think it's and easy A (maybe a B). He encourages thinking and not "correct answers". He truly wants you to learn. "Never let your pencil stop writing 'cause then you aren't thinkin'"
Richardson is probably one of the worse professors I have ever taken, hes a tough grader. Online classes are harder and he just didn't care.
He's a good teacher. I wasn't a big fan of him going on random tangents about "supposedly" math-related stuff when it really wasn't. Also, if you ask a question that was answered in a lecture before and you forgot what it was he'll answer in a condescending tone??? A simple yes or no works. I'd appreciate him working on that for future students.
good professor, get ready to work hard!
Professor Richardson made this course a breeze. It is statistics so you will have to work for your grade but there are ways to help you boost your grade. Definitely recommends him. Homework and textbooks are embedded in blackboard so you do not have to pay for anything. Show up, do your work and you will be fine.
I took Professor Richardson's class online for College Algebra during the summer. The material was condensed, but he was great at keeping us on track. Overall, math isn't something I really enjoy, but Professor Richardson will work with you and try to help you understand the concepts.
Good Professor! Professor Richardson does his best to engage the class as much as possible. You do have to put in the work for this class, but the effort pays off. There is also chances for extra credit and partial credit in this class.
Definitely a great choice for those who dislike the traditional teaching system. He goes a little off the rails at times, but in the end, his outlandish and hilarious examples and analogies truly do help with giving an all around good understanding of the material!
He is awesome and super helpful! He provides a lot of resources to learn and truly cares his students are successful! You will need to work for your grade but there are some opportunities to get your grade up!
Very well-taught class and he's more than willing to assist in any way you can. Highly recommend him!
Professor Richardson is by far one of the coolest Geminis I know. Astrology aside, he always has great lectures and thoroughly explains the material. He provides feedback on all assignments and has clear grading criteria. If you study and do assignments on time, you will be fine. He also is available outside of class and is responsive to messages.
I loved professor Richardson. He made statistics understandable when I thought it was impossible. Great professor, I would definitely take him again for any other math course if I could.
Prof. Richardson was a good professor if you are taking STA2023. His classes and lectures won't be boring. He is accessible outside of the class room. This course is content heavy, but Prof. Richardson really cares that you understand it and is willing to answer any questions.
