Danny is a really chill and friendly guy. He does his best to explain the concepts, but it can sometimes be a bit hard to follow if it is your first time learning trig. Midterms can be tricky since the force you to think outside the box. Although it's not the easiest class, you WILL learn.

This class under Danny's instruction is meant for those who are naturally great at math. He makes you work on problems before explaining solutions, which was really ineffective for me because he rushed through the explanations based on the assumption that your group had figured it out. He's great at teaching one-on-one, though, so ask for help!

Tran is a very good teacher, he shows every major concept inclass on the board, but the homework uses an online system that can be a bit flaky. Fortunately homework was optional, if you didn't do it then your final would be a larger % of the grade. Tests are reasonable, and he doesn't throw in anything he didn't go over in class. No accent either.

Studying abroad, I'm fresh and freaking out at math. Take him, I dont need to worry anymore. His lecture is clear. He shows you all the step you need. In quiz or exam, you need to notice definitions, he will ask you "what is ... ?". They take a lot of my points. If you're not good at math, go to his office hours. Work hard, test's not easy!

Danny is a super cool guy. He is passionate about statistics. He explains the concepts very clearly in lectures and YouTube videos. I could say that this is definitely the math class from which you will gain the most.

Asked for help multiple times and was referred to just go to tutoring which I did and still received a low grade. Tutors also had a hard time understanding the professor's notes/topics. Professor is not good at explaining. Very fast paced class. I would most definitely not take class with him again. Looking for other professors.

His examples/study guides were the same as the exams, and he was also really funny. In the end he was a pretty hard teacher but caring.

Danny is genuinely a great teacher, and he cares for his students. There's only a digital textbook, which we have to buy to do our homework. You can ask any question in class or out of class. There were four quizzes and four tests, and he let us use a page of notes. He connects math to real-world problems, connecting you to the content.

Good lecturer. Quiz & exam questions are exactly the same as the lecture notes. WebAssign HW is a little annoying but manageable. Clicking Practice Another or using Chegg can be helpful. Extra credit is given for every exam and exam review. Math is not my strong point, but you will do well if you take notes and solve problems on the whiteboard.

Introductory Statistics For intro to statistics a lots of hw, labs, midterm, final, and a project (again it's only a introductory class). If you are going for that as your major Danny is your guy. if it's only a requirement Id avoid his class you def don't need all that. Subject is hard it can have a negative impact on your GPA without no reason.

The professor is good, but it's a intro to stats, he requires a lot (midterm, final, lab, 2 projects)If u really need to be a pro in stats go for it, he's your guy. If you need this class as a pre requisite it is your worst option. You don't need all that. You ll do bad and negatively affect your GPA for a class that isn't related to ur your major.

Idk why he'd give a final exam plus a final project but I recommended doing it in a group to lessen the load cuz it's long. Homework's very long too, questions going all the way to part J long. Take if you're unemployed with free time.
