He is very helpful and makes sure the entire class grasps every concept, the only drawback is if you do understand you have to sit through him going ove it that many times.
awesome, awesome teacher! if we only had more teachers like him that do their job right! if you keep up w/the class there should be no reason not to get an a or b
Im absolutly horrible at math but I got a B in Social Science statistics, any teacher who can do that deserves a hats off
He is an enjoyable teacher and tries to put the concepts in everylife. He is funny but the material can be tricky.
He's a great teacher. Only downfall is the need to come to class and do the quizzes. Go to class and you should do great.
Awesome Proff... He was more than helpful and made the class so easy.. My advice Take Social Science Stats with this man.
Very good teacher, no book invovlved, but required palm pilot. They are very helpful!! TAs are nice too. His tests are very straight forward, and the TAs have review sessions before every exam to put you on the right track.
EXCELLENT...he makes class fun.. and the TA's help alot with the tests.
AWESOME! FUNNY, TRYS TO MAKE ****ED JOKES BUT HEY!!..WE NEED SOME MORE TEACHERS LIKE HIM.. EASY "A" GO TO CLASS PAY ATTENTION AND GO TO THE REVIEWS HIS T.A'S KEEP...HAVENT GOTTEN BELOW A 94 ON THE 3EXAMS I HAVE TAKIN SO FAR..YOU'LL BE FINE!
HE'S SOOO SOOO AND I MEAN SOOOO EASY...DO NOT TAKE STATS WITH ANY OTHER TEACHER...ULL LOVE THIS MAN!...HE DOESNT CONT HIS LESSONS UNTIL EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS HIM!
I want to cry for anyone who hasn't discovered this man to be the best prof at usf. Not only does he help you until you are comfy with the material- but hes a human being, shared his life with us and that def. makes a difference. I like how this prof wasn't out to see how many ppl he could fail.
Great Professor! Very helpful.
Great teacher..I highly recommend taking his class..He explains everything until the whole class knows it. Just go to class, do homework, take the quizes and go to the TA's reviews and you will pass.
GREAT PROFESSOR! Very helpful and makes sure EVERYONE understands...the TA reviews give you exactly whats on the test...offers some extra credit by doing surveys...there's a quiz everyday but he makes sure everyone knows the answers before he gives it...EASY A...I highly recommend it!
He is so funny and smart. Take his class!
Mr. Lunsford is a very helpful instructor.. if u think statistics is hard.. and for many it is... and if it is required for ur major then u should take Mr. Lunsford's Soc. Sci. Statistic class.. not its an easy course.. but the way he teach this course is very easy.. and I recommend him for Stats!!!
Great Class. You actually learn a lot! Palm piolet req. but helps on tests espc. Recommend him=)
Best prof. I have had at USF.Easy A, but you actually deserve the A because he teaches so well.Ta reviews are great.He is so good because he recently finished all his schooling himself and has a close memory of being a student.You will really learn stats and get an easy A.
Best teacher I ever had ........By Far, he's grabbed teaching by the nuts and isn't letting go anytime soon. Consider taking this class.
ya so i come to this site, find this teacher, see the ratings, take the class... and whopee! they are right. hes awesome. his TAs are awesom and the cool thing is..u can have anyone as ur TA and theyll help u with the study guides. he wont give a test unless EVERYONE..and i mean EVERYONE understands
Professor Lunsford, is a real good teacher. He's such a kind person. God Bless Him and his Teaching Assistants.
he is a very very good teacher! he helps you a lot as well as the TA's its a very simple class
He is a wonderful teacher and his TAs are great! Do not take this class if you don't want to work. It is only easy because of how well he teaches you. There is no book, only a palm pilot and it is incredibly useful. I highly recommend his Stats class if you have to take one and pass.
Very easy class if you are willing to listen in class, do the homework and go to the study sessions. He is a great and funny teacher.
Mr. Lunsford is by far the best mathmatics prof I have ever encountered. If you have to take stats, BEG and PLEAD to get into his class!
Lunsford is VERY entertaining. Each test is cumulative, so by the final you have to know a ton of formulas and it was pretty straining. Luckily, he offers a ton of extra credit and easy quizes, so about half of his students get an A. The Palm Pilot was a waste of $125; it didn't work half of the time and I resorted to using a regular calculator.
I have been a TA for Lunsford. He is a great man. The TAs help you and he keeps the classes very interesting. Take him if you can... it will be like no other stats class you have ever experienced!
This is one of the best stats teachers you can find. He has been a wonderful teacher, mentor, and friend to me while finishing my degree at the University of south Florida. This is some one who enjoys what they do for a living and makes it enjoyable for everyone around him. :)
This class was easy! Go to class, pay attention, do the homewor, and study and you will get an "A." Definitely a very easy class. If you need a math for gen ed., take this class. It's the easiest math you can possibly take. Actually...this class ISNT math AT ALL- and Lunsford will say that quite a bit. He's an awesome teacher.
I took his class during Summer B, so we had a semester of info thrown at us in about five weeks. So, it wasn't a walk in the clouds. However, his clearity and ability to treat students like people helped. A bit of advice, choose your T.A. wisely. Your T.A.'s teaching/grading style will effect your grade. Also, you will have to study. But Take HIM!
This class is amazingly easy...Lunsford is awesome and keeps the class so interesting...he is sooo laid back and when cell phones ring in the middle of class, he stops teaching and dances!! He also wrote his own book that costs like $12 at Grays book store. He cares about everybody and wants every single person to pass. He is amazing!!!
Great teacher! He truely cares about students learning the information and will go over something until the whole class understands. The TA's have reviews before the tests that help tramendously! Overall he really knows how to convey the material and doesnt try and trick you on tests! Highly suggested!!!!!!!!!
Really helps students. He will repeat things over and over again for you to understand, without getting annoyed! Funny, caring guy. You will pass if your not a retard. the T.A.s really helptoo
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS TEACHER! Not only are his classes interesting, but he makes you really understand the material. I failed Stat in high school, and I got and A in this class. Pick your TA's wisely and GO to the reviews. Need a palm pilot for the class, but the books are only $12. Take this CLASS!!!
AMAZING TEACHER!! DEFINITELY TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
I didn't mind his class, but I would not recommend him to others. He teaches you like you are in 3rd grade which gets very annoying. A quiz everyday makes you keep up with the material, and the last two tests are kind of difficult, but he definitely knows the subject matter.
This teacher is awesome!! He gives you quizzes everyday but it helps you to keep up w/ the class. He really does care about his students, and loves teaching the class. He was recently a student so he's VERY accomadating for any circumstances you may have. DEFINITELY TAKE THIS TEACHER!
He's a great teacher... I had him for the three hour night class and never once fell asleep. Doesnt make you stay the hole time and makes sure everyone understands the material.. He's a big goof but its a good class.. And make sure you chose a good T.A.
Dr. Lunsford is an amazing teacher who really cares about his students understanding the material. You have to go to class in order to pass, but he is funny and you wont fall alseep. Awesome TEACHER, its not just a class u pass, you will actually leave class learning the material! ps- go to the review sessions!!
Dr. Lunsford is by far the BEST teacher I have ever had the pleasure of taking at USF. Stats is a very hard class, but not with Lunsford. Go to class and you will get an A!!
The guy is a jerk, but his tests are fair. Go to class so you don't miss the daily quizzes, and definitely go to the review sessions. He knows the material, but wasted a lot of class time with us taking long surveys for his "thesis".
Know someone who's an amazingly nice person and you can't imagine them ever getting angry? This prof is one, and the comment below mine is probably the one guy in class who was so rude he actually did make him mad. Lunsford is a GODSEND to all who are mathematically inept but must take Stats. Im horrible at math but because of him I am getting a A!
He is so awesome! I love this teacher..the best I have ever had! Very easy, tests are easy, TA's wil help you! He will also squeeze you into his class if you cannot register for him!
This prof. offered a lot of opportunities to improve students' grades and he probably made the class more interesting than a lot of people. However, he made me hate the class because he calls on people randomly and can even be condescending. He made fun of me the first day for not raising my hand high enough. The key is to choose your TA wisely!
You will have to work for your grade but if you do you will get an A. Lunsford is a great teacher.
If you do not keep up with the work on a daily basis then you are f****d. All the information builds on each other! Be very aware of this. He is a good teacher and very passionate about helping the students. Attend every class, sit up close so you don't fall asleep, and choose your TA wisely.
PLEASE, PLEASE attend class and read the text. THAT SOUNDS LIKE EVERY OTHER CLASS YOU READ ABOUT, BUT IN THIS ONE IT REALLY MATTERS! He's a wonderful teacher - doesn't move on til everyone gets it. GREAT way to get a math credit. ALSO - IF YOU HAVE THE CHOICE OF hyasil AS YOUR T.A., CHOOSE HER! Her reviews are exactly like exam! Overall, easy A!!!!
I LOVED this class! The professor was amazing. He knows/understands that college students need to be treated like kids sometimes. He breaks everything down to the simplest form and makes sure all students understand before he moves on. He is definitely one of the best professors at USF.
He's a good teacher & he has alot of TAs to help u comprehend the material but the tests get harder & lots of studying is needed.
Very Helpful.
he made the class interesting. very caring and friendly. i became a TA the next semester after passing his class with an A!!!!!!!!!
So easy! I am horrible at math and got an A. Go to reviews and do the hw. He makes class fun and explains things until everyone gets it.
AWESOME prof. My advisor told me to take him-he breaks everything down, even if math isn't your thing, it's comprehendable and possible for you to get As on the tests. Interesting, comedic, and truly cares about his students-Gives very useful advice on grad schools and anything else you want to pursue. Extremely patient and talks down to nobody.
A very good professor. There are 3 exams plus the final exam. I definitely recommend that you go to the TA review sessions before the exams, the TA's prepare review sheets for you. But, if you have any important questions about the material ask Lunsford. Don't worry about the correlation and t-test you have to do to pass the class- you can do it!
Extremely friendly, wants to see you learn. knows what he is talking about. easy A.
He is definitely one of the best teachers I've had in college. He teaches with clarity and makes you want to learn the material. If you just go to his class then their is no reason why you can't pass with an 'A'.
Great teacher. Makes sure everyone knows what he went over. Will go over as many times as necessary so it's understood. Best way to get an A is to go to class (& pay attention) & definitely go to the reviews. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Gives quizzes everyday, but answers all questions the previous class. Awesome!
Lunsford is awesome! I wish I could take this class again just to have him teach me.
Lunsford is amazing! His class is not that hard - just pay attention and DO YOUR QUIZES! they can really make the difference at the end of the semester. He never moves on until everyone understands what is going on, and he is ALWAYS willing to help. Just make sure on tests you ask the t.a.'s for help if you need it. This class was great!
Lunsford is awesome. He makes sure everyone understands the material before moving on. TA's are great...go to the reviews and you will do great on the tests. Attendance is not mandatory but if you don't go, it will be difficult. Homework is mandatory and due before each test (there are 4) Must be able to do t-test and correlation to pass the class.
If you are able to take this class.... TAKE IT!!! I HATE Math and was able to pull out an A+. Make sure you get a good TA and attend class and you will do well. ;)
He's an awesome teacher. Definitely go to the exam reviews and you will do well. I hate math, don't understand it at all, and got an A. He is just that kind of teacher. Other professors should learn from this man. He's great. If he has a class available, I stongly recommend taking him.
Attend classes and go to the reviews. He's awesome. (By the by, he posts his book on-line, so...)
Interested in students success. You must do the homework or you won't be allowed to take the exam. Always available.
Mr. Lunsford is a great instructor. While he doesn't go page by page of the text book, he gives you what you need to know and understand in order to pass class. Sometimes his jokes are not the best, but he really tries hard to make the math fun. His TA's are all helpful. My fear of math has gradually subsided, thanks to him.
amazing professor, got me to like math which is unbelievable!!!! This is an easy A if you go to class and put forth the effort. Lundsford and the TA's give youevery opportunity to get an A. Its my first A in math in years! TAKE HIM!!!!!!!
AWESOME PROFESSOR, PROVIDES GREAT ASSISTANCE.ATTENDANCE ALL CLASS MEETINGS AND U SHOULD RECEIVE AN A. HE EXPLAINS MATH WITH GREAT DETAILS AND EXAMPLES.
THIS IS THE BEST TEACHER AT USF!!! professor Lunsford will sit with every single student until they understand the material. He makes class fun and interesting, you understand EVERYTHING he teaches you, and the materials hard so when you get an A it was because you understood what you were suppose to. I would recommend him to anyone! Take stats!!
At first I was worried that I wasn't going to do so well in this class due to the fact that I suck in math. But I was wrong. You just need to go over your notes and practice the problems. If you need any help just ask for it!! Don't be SHY. I have an A on all my exams.Great Class!!
Good teacher. Biggest drawback is you're forced to buy and use a PDA. You can use a different calculator (like the TI-83) but you'll have to teach yourself to use it (he teaches the PDA in class). Go to the TA review sessions, they help. He requires the homework to be done before you are allowed to take the test. Not doing it=no take test.
Exellent teacher! If you have to take statistics, take Lunsford! He makes statistics so easy. Everyone is assigned a TA and they are so helpful- GO TO THE REVIEWS! Put a little effort in and its and easy A :)
Really nice
Great professor! Makes statistics fun and easy. The TA's are really helpful and give great review sessions. Home work is mandatory, but it doesn't have to be right... just done. Take this class if you want to learn statistics and have fun doing so!
Awesome teacher! Stopped going to class and still got an A. Show up for the quizzes and do your homework. Review sessions are amazing. Ask him or your TA for help and you WILL do great!
I found this class difficult! But, I did get an A. However, it didn't come easy. I got an A because I attended every class and I went to every single TA session. You need to go to the TA sessions, they are amazing. Study hard, I proved you can do it, even if you have trouble with numbers and formulas. The key is to find a great TA!
AMAZING! He made everything very easy to understand. I am not good in math at all and the first thing he said was "This is not a math class" It really is fun and easy to learn! GO TO THE REVIEW SESSION! They do problems that are identical to the test just with different data. I failed 1 test and still got a B in the class.
Great professor! I needed to attend all of the TA sessions to thoroughly comprehend everything, but that's because I have never been good at math. However, I actually began to take an interest in statistics and found this class practical to my field (social work).
Take his class! He makes a potentially confusing course easy to understand. His teaching style is very engaging and he will answer any question you have, and works with you until you get the concepts. He tells jokes and keeps class upbeat. There is a daily quiz straight out of the book so if you go to class and do the homework you will do well.
In my 2 years at USF, Lunsford is definitely one of the best professors I have encountered. Not only does he keep the class lessons fun, but he makes sure that every single student understands the material before moving on. He actually makes you want to come to class!! Awesome teacher...take him!!!
Lunsford is awesome. Engaging and interesting, by far one of the best professors at USF.
Lunsford is a very nice prof.,the class is easy because of the grading system, reviews, and explanations in general.I don't have the most remote interest in statistics that's why I don't many things from the class, but that's just me. Overall, pretty much the easiest class you will ever take in you college career.
his social science stats clas was the best class math class that i have ever taken! the tests arent hard as long as you go to the TA sessions, and its practically impossible to fail this class, TAKE HIM, you won't regret it!
Get teacher. I wish he was a professor for all my classes.
Professor Lunsford is really a great teacher. He actually cares rather or not students understand the material. The TA sessions are extremely helpful, make sure you attend all the exam reviews!
I had Dr. Lunsford for social science statistics and loved it! I took it in high school and didn't understand any of it but he made everything very understandeable and the testa aren't hard at all if you go to class and the reviews and actually try. He's a great teacher and very entertaining as well!
So much fun!! He will keep you laughing the whole time! Plus, he makes the material easy to learn! Love him!!
This class was one of the best classes that I took at USF. Not only did we have the professor there to help us, we had the TA's. Very funny and easy going class. If you need a math credit, this is the class to take.
I am an English major and find math very difficult... this teacher made math so easy! He was more than fair in grading. Teaching style goes above and beyond- he wrote his own *cheap* textbook that really caters to every the left and right brained individual. I hope I am half as successful an educator as he was for me and the rest of my class.
Great teachers, have teacher assitants who help you. Easy class, must come to class due to quizzes.
Awesome professor! Easy A but you actually learn the material. Math was never my thing, but he makes it easy to learn and makes you laugh as well
Very invovled professor, very help even outside of class. Will help you with question over the phone. You won't find a more knowledgable teacher for the class he teaches. Every question is answered with the approach of helping you understand fully what is taking place within the class.
He's an awesome teacher and a lot of fun!! He makes the class fun/ interesting. It's been one of my favorite/ easiest classes that i've taken at USF! take him he's awesome!!! :)
Mr Lunsford was such a great teacher. He made sure everyone in the class got it before he would move on. He taught reallly really cool ways to memorize formulas and steps for the tests.I definately did not mind going to his class everyday. Its so easy to get an A by just going to class everyday.By far my favorite professor here at USF!!!! TAKE HIM!
Lunsford was a great teacher. I enjoyed the fact that he never moved on until every single person in the class felt comfortable with what he was teaching at the time. He took it slow and that made the course easier for people who are the worst at math. I would recommend him to anyone even my 4 year old niece...THAT'S HOW AWESOME HE IS & HE'S FUNNY.
Definitely one of my favorite professors at USF!
Attendance was not mandatory, but you had quizzes that affected your grade. Great teacher, though. Absolutely wonderful at getting information across, and very helpful with questions. Highly recommend him!
Great Professor! He is very easy to pay attention to and is very funny. He also knows what he's talking about!
He is an awesome teacher! I loved his corny jokes - and after passing his class, thanks to him, I was able to learn even more by becoming a TA for him for the next Stats class. I would definitely recommend his class - and if you want to Ace it - go to the TA reviews. Professor Lunsford is my favorite teacher at USF!
At first, the way this professor seems very elementary and low level in the way he teaches. However, as the difficulty of the course increases his persistence of each student understanding the material is extremely helpful in doing well in the class and in thoroughly understanding the material.
Very good teacher, one of my favorites at USF. Be careful when choosing your TA and go to the TA review sessions. He is always willing to help whether it be through his TAs or just him. Although attendance is not mandatory, this is a class you must attend to pass. You must earn your grade but he makes it easy to understand.
Wonderful instructor! Although the material might seem difficult at first glance, he explains it clearly. The class is not hard but it requires effort. He doesn't take points off for attendance but in order to get a good grade, attend class. He has a great personality and he is funny. Make good use of the TA review sessions. Good luck
Best instructor around! Friendly,outgoing,funny and most of all intelligent.Always there for you when you need him even if you are no longer his student.
Greatest professor I ever had! Really made statistics a breeze.Got a 100 in the class! Still remember the material and am now a T.A. and a tutor for Statistics.
The class is easy but your best bet is to attend on a regular basis. He wrote the book himself which was very helpful and he "dumbed it down" as he would say so it's pretty easy to understand.
He is a very nice professor and made sure that everyone understood the material before we moved on. It seemed kind of silly at first, but his methods must have worked because plenty of people did very well in his class, including me. I don't like math and he made it really really easy and even fun! :)
Professor Lunsford prides himself on aiding his students and was successful in doing so. He chose capable TA's to assist is students and I was very happy with my performance, and his teaching methods during the course.
Awsome! A concept that your average professor would make extremely complicated, he can break it down to his students in a way that makes them confident, even enough to explpain to someone else.His tests are straight forward and class is never boring :)
Great professor, you will learn and understand and he is willing to help if you dont. he is very funny too not dry at all. if you have a choice take him!!!! no one else
Absolutely loved the class. Take it!!!!!
He was great at explaining concepts that I had never heard. I thought I was going to fail stats but actually ended up getting an a and being a TA for him the next semester.
I was really nervous about taking a Stats class,but I needed it for my Major. I was so relieved when I go Dr. Lunsford as a professor. Him and his staff of TA's were amazing. He made it so easy to understand.I made some good friends in the class which helped a lot.I recommend Dr Lunsford to anyone that needs Soc.Stats
Anything that has to do with Math might as well be written in a foreing language for me. Professor Lunsford makes Stats extremly understandable, he teaches the course in a way that its easy to comprehend and interesting to learn. This is the only math class I ever got a good grade in and he has a dozen T.A.'S to help you.
Excellent teacher! He goes over everything in GREAT detail, and will aswer the same question a dozen times if you need it! I def. recommend him!!
There is a reason Lunsford's classes fill up so quickly. He is an excellent teacher and does everything he can to make sure every student passes his tests. If you get a bad grade it's because you weren't trying. He will answer a question 20 times if you need it and is just an all around nice and understanding guy. I definitely recommend him!
You're Very Funny! :) You made that long night class less boring!
Professor Lunsford was an incredible teacher. The first time I took stat, i failed for many factors that had nothing to do with his teaching. the second time around, I utilized his study methods, did all the homework and went to tutoring sssions. The class was very difficult but he kept up interest by using real life applications.
I HATE stats!! I went to every class and got the only A of my life in a math related course. The professor makes it really interesting to learn stats (trust me I never thought I would ever say that)
Awesome professor! He made the information easy to understand. He gave many examples and was very willing to re-explain things. He was also very funny!!
This professor is amazing! I was a little hesitant about the class because I figured it was going to be tough. Hoever, Prof. Lunsford's teaching method made it so easy to understand statistics. He is very funny and is here for us to get a good grasp on the concepts. If you're taking this class, he's definitely the way to go.
Mr. Lunsford is an awesome professor! I was a student who "hated" math, and was dreading taking this course. I ended up with a B plus in the course. His teaching method is great, class is NOT boring, you use his book-so its not going to cost you 100 bucks, and the TA's are very helpful. You learn to see how interesting and useful Stats is in life.
I had professor Lunsford last spring. I'm not a math person by all means. However, professor Lunsford makes math fun and interesting. He keeps you on the edge of your seat and breaks it down in a way that is easy to understand. You WILL have to focus and apply yourself to pass the class, but the effort is worth it. Expect to take LOTS of notes.
he was a great teacher and explained eerything. his book was inexpensive and because he understands how difficult it is so he actually teaches it and doesnt say just do it
I took his social science stats class and stats have never been so clear
real easy going professor. fun to learn stats class. TA'S are the best they help out with everything. if bad with math ,take this class - you wont be disapointed.
OMG! Professor Lunsford is AWESOME. Before taking this class I was horrible in ALL math and thought for sure I was going to fail this class. His lectures are hilarious and he makes you want to come to class. He is so clear and if you dont understand he will explain it to you until you do. Really easy going. I am a TA for him now. DEFINITELY take hi
I took his class because I had to. I hate numbers and formulas. I passed his class with an A+ and was a TA for him for a semester. He is hilarious and is an awesome mentor to have! I would take the class again.
Prof. Lunsford is one of the best instructors I have had at USF. He makes the material so easy to understand and won't move on until the entire class understands. I am not a math person, but he made things interesting. Make sure you attend the TA study sessions!
Lunsford is an effective professor. He makes statistics clear and simple. I have retained a lot of what I learned in his class and it has helped me in other classes.
really helpful and gives you plenty of opportunity to catch up, correct any failed grades.
Professor Lunsford is AMAZING!He makes the class fun and entertaining.He doesn't move on until everyone understands the material and will explain it over&over until you get it. He explains material very clearly and its easy to understand.I became a TA for him, which was a great experience and would recommend his class to everyone.Lunsford ROCKS!
great professor. period.
Best professor I have ever had!!!! I absolutely love the way he teaches and how he makes jokes in between to make the lesson FUN!!!! I have never fell asleep in that class and I look forward to going to his class because he is such an AWESOME teacher. His work isn't too easy and it isn't too hard....students can definitely do well in his class.
Good Professor just a difficult class but he makes it as understandable as he can.
GREAT PROFESSOR! His TAs help a lot and always available to help. Attend the study sessions and pay attention. He makes the material really easy. Its the only "math" class I ever got an A in! You have to pay attention and go to class, this is not a class you can skip. great, sense of humor, easy to talk toG understanding. Great teaching methods.
Amazing professor!! Although I had zero interest in the subject, he was always animated, super entertaining and willing to go over things over and over until everyone understood. Would highly recommend him!!
He was one of the best profesors Ive had. Even though its a boring subject, he made it easy to learn and understand. I would def. recommend him.
Professor Lunsford is a great professor, I think that I get very good all of the concepts that He explains in class. He teaches in a way that you can enjoy the class and understand everything without loosing yourself. Stats is very important for our future so I think that USF has a great adventage having this professor here.
Very Funny! He really wants you to learn the material he is teaching. He is always willing to answer questions (no matter how many times they are asked). There is a quiz at the beginning of each class, but they are printed in the book. Lecture are VERY HELPFUL! Tells you what is on the test, but you still need to study.
He will make you love math again! If you cannot pass this class which he basically spoon feeds to you then maybe you shouldn't be in college.
Easiest math class. So easy to pass, the teacher wrote his own book, I didnt even have to buy it since he posted it up on blackboard. There are 4 tests, got high A's on the first 3 so far. Highly reccommend this class, the TA's help out alot. Lunsford however is a lunetic and drifts off in every lecture sometimes annoying but good teacher
amazing teacher. adopts you into his family!!!!
awesome professor. awesome class.
Something is wrong with this guy. He makes things easy to understand yes, but that's his only plus. If you don't pass one question on the exam (even if you get A's on everything) you FAIL! It's crazy. He's always using eating disorders as examples, if you have one or have had one this can be very triggering.
He was a great teacher very entertaining it was good to get a little extra than just the regular boring lectures I had everyday all day...the TA's were very helpful also. As long as you came to class you could easily pass all the tests the only thing was when I took his class I had to have a palm pilot which I never used again after that class!
If you want a teacher that explains the concept on a level anyone can understand, take Lunsford. He makes Stats so simple its insane. He wrote the book, so it's easy to follow along. The TAs and Lunsford answer emails quickly and are quite helpful. The TAs have review sessions that also help, and answer any leftover questions. I highly recommend.
I took this class with him several years ago but I can still remember him. He is funny and the TA's are also very available for help. The PDA he "requires" also makes the class soooo much easier
Excellent professor who takes the time to make sure all students understand the concepts. So clear, that even with missing three weeks due to unavoidable surgery, I was able to pick right up. If only he taught Stats 2, I'd relax more about taking it! If you're a graduate student and need this course, Dr. Lunsford IS the instructor you want!
I took his class like years ago when. Went to USF! Great class , great TAs, and he made the subject easy I understand . I've never said this about math before, but his class was the first math class I actually enjoyed going to and I actually learned and understood the material!
He was disorganized and very confusing while teaching. The professor never used the textbook. Wouldn’t recommend taking this professor if you actually want to learn something about statistics.
I tried to avoid taking STA2122 because I believed it to be one of the most impossible classes ever. I proudly earned an A, not because of my abilities alone, but because Dr. Lunsford was such an incredible and thoughtful teacher. Unlike most professors, he WANTS you to learn, and he WANTS to explain things in a way that makes sense! Loved him!
Good class
