DO NOT TAKE ! Online course, stats. He does not give extra credit and he gives you alot of essay questions on the test. ALL TESTS ARE NOT ENOUGH TIME!. He has to understand everyone does not read at the same rate, comprehend and apply all the same. Im an honor student and I read really fast but he will have you running out of time on these exam.

Professor Beaulieu is an amazing professor! He makes his own PowerPoints and and tests. He tries to take the anxiety out of testing and does't assign much homework- just 3 short assignments throughout the semester. Tests are long and need to be studied for but are very straightforward, if you put inn the effort your grade will show it.

Professor Beaulieu is one of the best teachers I've ever had, he is super caring, patient, and he will give you chances and help you even after the end of the semester. If you record the review with the study guide that he'll give you, you'll make an A. His lectures are hilarious and suuuuuper interesting. Don't miss the opportunity to take him!!!!

Great class! He makes stats so nonstressful and easy to understand. All assignments, including exams, have unlimited time and are open notes, so its so easy to make an A. He also gives out abundant opportunities for extra credit. I dedicate around 2 to 4 hours on this class a week and still learn so much, so I highly recommend.

Dr. B. takes advantage of every minute of lecture time. Be ready with printed power points and take extensive notes. Do not miss class as a lot of extra content is covered that will be on the tests. There are many online assessments that will also be included on the tests. Does give extra credit by points by early essay turn in and test reviews.

A lot of busy work but he breaks down formulas & concepts very well with his Powerpoints & PDF summaries. Unlimited timing on tests & hw. Very accessible via email. Extremely generous extra credit assignments (which are mandatory) that add points to your final grade. 3 exams total (includes the final). You have to earn your A but def doable.

He always finds a way to include something interesting within them so the concepts will make sense. Very easy grader in my opinion, but studying is a must.

I took Dr. Beaulieu's winter mini-mester and it was great! He gives you the powerpoints and the quizzes are straight from that. I used my online textbook minimally but I received a trial period so I did all my readings during that time. The tests were just a combo of questions from the quizzes. Super easy course!

Def, not the worse prof. I have ever had, however, if you need to take this class I would not recommend taking it at LoneStar because he is the only professor. Test was pretty hard and he doesn't give you a review and he never goes over the material w u. When you take a quiz he doesn't tell u what u get wrong so u dont know what to study later.

I took him online in Spring 2020. He used locker(forgot the name) and webcams when taking tests.
