Former graduate who studying in University. I have to retake Stat II. All I want to say is Floyd is very capable of teaching Stat. If you have him, you are lucky!
Floyd is the best prof in the accounting program. He likes girl much and he never look at me when i am talking with him. He is an easy marker and his tests and exam are easy. I always suggest my frds to take his course for As.
Floyd is a bit koo-koo. He stands near the window for half the class, makes unfunny jokes, preferrs black & chinese people over anyone else. And then he tells us we are behind all other sections. Oh, please, Floyd. You aren't funny. Go chill.
He likes making jokes and voice strange sound in the class. You like his jokes or not that is subjective. His notes are clear and useful for preparing the tests and exam.
Simply the best
Students are likely to find him either very entertaining or very annoying. Obviously knows his subject very well, but he's not always easy to understand. He often acts as though he's doing stand-up comedy (or as if he thinks he's running a boot camp).
This prof knows how to teach! He makes statistics understandable and amusing.
Stat is obviously boring and complex, but he always tries to make it interesting and clear.
funny teacher
i like this teacher,he like to talk about jolie( her girlfriend), he is funny teacher, and he is great teacher....anyway thank for being so nice to us......anyway..stay cool.....
teaches well and makes sure u understand the material...tests are straightforward and he tells u exactly what u gotta know...only teaches you whats important and now the other crap u dont need to know...if u have him...keep him
hes pretty funny and he explain things fairly well but because he doesnt use the textbook he skips alot of minor things that could have been helpful, you need to self-read it yourself
Easy marker, excellent professor!
Are you following me? Do you understand?100%? Funny and know everything from the book, the best teacher i've never had
Ummm..I like this teacher he teaches very well...he wants everyone to understand the subject..eventhough he has some favourite words..such as "my friends." But he is Good!
"do u undretsand? 100%? or 100%-1%?", haha he is so good, take him if u can! stats are fun and easy with this teacher!
he's a good man, and students either find from him very entertaining or very annoying lol and he's quite fast pacing tho, be prepared b4 you go to that class, floyd rocks
are you a part of the chicken club ? and when you give a right answer, he goes, awwww so you are no longer a member of the chicken club eehhh? so much fun. he loves to talk about julie! sir you made my class so much fun this semester and you were very easy going !
AWESOME teacher! He teaches you what you need to know & only that. There is NO homework but you still have to review in order to succeed in his class. He is so funny & makes fun of everyone. Very fair marker & wants everyone to succeed. Don't be intimidated by him, take him if you have the chance!!!
sweeeeeeeeeeeet man. take him. u will got at least your B+
hes an amazing proff. He actually makes stats enjoyable. i would definetely reccomend him for stats. he wants everyone to do well, and is willing to help out even on his own time. I give give 2 thumbs up!!! : )
he is such a nice man. very fair marker. he so good in teaching. i got this proff on my QNM 222 & QNM 444. i got A on my both course.. also i am interested in math so ...:)

I dont know guys how u like this professor,but he is really unfear teacher.He is nice only with those students who likes to talk about nothing.His class like a circus.Chicken club,Julie,life is sweet blah blah...nothing serious,he just cant stop talking about those things. Very inaccurate in writin
Floyd is the greatest! He'll work your butt off until you feel like you've walked into boot camp! But he's an excellent teacher, and extremely fair on tests! His test questions are THE SAME FORMAT as what he writes on the board! Don't annoy him by skipping class or not paying attention.
Anyone who fails his class must be a really really lazy person. He is the coolest professor and always there to help his students. Teaches only what you need. He is a very fair marker. Anyone who hates stats, would like is with him.
"My Friend, Do you understand?, Are you sure? 100%?! Yea?? Yea??? Here take the marker, its free." These are phrases you should expect to hear in clas.. OVER AND OVER again! He's a freak, he has the textbook MEMORIZED. If you wanna save money take his class and you wont need to buy the textbook just the lyryx
ok teacher, spends too much time talkin instead of teaching. bad notes, all over the place, and talks really fast at times as if we already know everything.
One of the best teacher's in school. His classes are fun, we get a lot of laughs. At the same time people who hate statistics, like i do, would definetely like this teacher. He is a fair marker. All u got to do is pay attention in class, do ur homework and i gurantee u will get a minimum of B.
you do not have to buy the book for his classes cause he teaches from his mind. he can be funny at times, and he can also be very angry at times. overall he makes sure the class gets a high mark. he is an easy marker. gives good practice tests.
Take him for stats you will pass, great teacher. Tells you want you need to know. Just go to class you will do good.
I did not learn anything or forgot what I have learned in QNM222. After taking QNM444 with him, I understand the QNM444 materials as well as understanding what I had in QNM222. Take math with him if math is your weakness. His explainations are vey clear. His tests are fair-easy, if he makes them any easier, he will get fired.
He teaches well but gets VERY angry if people do not do homework. His ta tou tou thing is really annoying too. You will see. Overall, a good teacher if you go to class
wop wop.. My friend, he is a very nice professor and knows what he teaches. Helpful and fair marker. Did you understand? 100% minus 1? I had him for my QNM222 and QNM444, I learned a lot from him and got "A" in both my classes. Do not like math? Take Floyd my friend you will like it for sure.

I can't believe no one has rated him hot.....He's so hot!
Very funny and outgoing....But he refers to every student as "Hey my friend" and uses the word "Yes" a lot....So my friend, I say you take his class, yes!?!
Funny guy! Good Prof. Fair marker.
Great teacher, funny person. But you have to do your part to get A or A+
He is a good professor and very good in explaining stats.GOD BLESS HIM.
one of the best teachers you will ever have. he knows his stuff. is very easy to talk to and will help you as much as you need. fun guy. clearly explains everything and shows the work on the board. choose him if you can. he can make a very dry subject like stats into a great learning experience.
guy was always hating on me cuz i got the girls attention away from him.
GREAT!

This guy knows what hes talking about. He doesnt go by the textbook, so dont even bother buying one. He wants to pass everyone, and honestly if you fail thats because you dont come to class. Just come to class and you'll pass, do the work, do the labs..and your good! Apart from him coming an hour late usually to early morning classes, hes one of th
D GUY IS SIMPLY D BEST.BEST PROF BUT AS ALOT OF MOOD SWINGS! ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY... HE IS A FAIRLY EASY MARKER BUT FAIRLY RUDE SOMETIMES WHEN U ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT A TOPIC HE THINKS IS EASY! OVERALL THOUGH HE IS A VERY GOOD TEACHER, NICE MAN !!!!
BEST TEACHER! HAS ALOT OF MOOD SWINGS ALWAYS LATE FOR EARLY MORNING CLASS BUT TEACHES WELL.
really he is nice and helpful. if u go to class and do ur review, you can get good mark. he is nice with everyone, so don't scare to ask any question. do n't miss his class
awesome teacher.. explains everything really well.. good sense of humour.. doesnt use the book.. so no need to buy the book.. gives practice test before the actual test and the test questions are almost exactly the same..!!!
He is the best ever (Nice, fun, Fare)
Very clear and concise in his teaching. Very helpful in explainating. Conduct class in timely manner.
Very helpful teacher. No need for the text because he explains better than any text does. He knows his stuff and is always available for extra help. Great teacher for a difficult subject!Great sense of humour and keeps the classroom fun. You wont want to miss class!
Great prof and guy, really wants everyone to do well...but don't waste his time. If u have the chance, take him.
best class to get an A, enough said!!!!
This teacher is cool! U need to study his practice tests and u will get a good mark. Also attend his class, do not miss his lectures. He likes to joke, but i think his jokes are kinda stupid. My mistake was that i bought a book, never used it. Got an A! However math was always hard for me. Take him u will not regret!
SIMPLY THE BEST !!!! AWESOMEEEEE !! ... his teaching is jus so nice .. explains everythng clearly ... a fun type person .. his classes are approx an hr long .. very easy markeer .. if u get him .. dont even thnk abt chngin him .. u ll never get below B if u study well .. chances are to get an A+!!... he makes u want to go to his class !!
I dont recomend to anyone to tak this prof.Yan get A+ ifth you have some frind took his class befor. he is lazy to chang the test or any material he teach.it is not interesting to go to his class...all he ask student is if they want MARKER...didnt know wt he meant ..he is just another stupid raciest.Cant belive that seneca hire this kind of prof.
Moody. Jokes too much with the noisy students which condones their disruptive behaviours. Knows his stats,poor teaching skills. Rationales are often unclear when introduce new concepts. Fair marker. He is a big kid, good for partying with, not professional as a college level teacher. I was disappointed with his calibre as a professor.
Moody. Condones disruptive behaviours by his participation. May Kknow his materials but poorly taught to the students. Played down the textbook's material. Very poor rationale when introducing new concepts. His opinions are grandiose. If I have a choice, I will not choose to have him as my teacher again.
Great prof! Really nice guy who loves to joke around with everyone. No homework & straight forward tests. He always makes sure every single student understands 100%. He's almost always late, though. Like, really late. You'll only ever be in class half the time since he always missed the first half. But he's a great prof, so you're lucky!
He is a very good professor!!!explain every thing clearly. Really funny and nice!! take his class, follow him, you will get at least B for sure!!!
The best teacher in Seneca!
Nicest and funniest prof in Seneca so far. Are you his friend or his enemy? It doesn't matter, he'll still give you a G minus. Sutherland is awesome.
I didn't like him at all because he make stupid jokes every single minute. However it is easy class to pass just because his test are easy and in addition he is a very easy marker
Horrible...doesnt use the book, doesnt use blackboard. Doesnt answer questions. Miss one class your ****ed. Smart guy knows his stuff, too bad the course is about teaching us to know the stuff something he just isnt good at.
Do not take him.Lazy ,lazy,lazy. You really have to learn by yourself after class.
Really good teaching philosophy. Does not believe in giving a lot of homework. Go to class and you are guaranteed to pass. Really friendly.
best stats teacher ever. just go to class, listen to his lectures and you'll get an easy A. hardly uses textbook at all so don't buy one. always gives practice test before real test and is an extremely easy marker. if you get a chance, TAKE HIM!! no, seriously, take him if you want to get an A for stats.
He make really stupid jokes in the class and he is a big distraction! but a good marker.You will get A+ from this course without really learning the course!
101 MINUS 2 PERCENT? That's only 99% and that's all I remember from that class. Ended up with an A anyways (mostly though textbook use). But he does give marks, if you can show you know what you're doing.
He's an alright! As long as you follow his methods you can get a good mark. He always gives you credit where effort was givin
err...to tell you the truth, i cannot stand his attitude. Always making ridiculous jokes and complains about the students not doing their work. But on the bright side, he can teach really well and his tests are kinda easy if u actually attend his class and write his notes.
Very helpful & a great proff.
A poor professor considering his foolish behaviour and racial jokes towards some students. This professor was close to 20 to 25 minutes late everyday. As for textbook usage, just forget about it! If you're a student that enjoys following everything by-the-book, this professor definitely, without any given doubt is not your choice.
very funny and helpful.you can understand everything easily in his class and more importantly,he s a very easy marker~best professor ever.
Sutherland is THE BEST! He really cares about his students & who cares if he makes jokes,he does it to make the subject interesting. People who write bad things about him didnt go to class or didnt do the work. He comes late but you always learn what you need to, never behind. his tests are just like his practice questions, no surprises!
Great, humourous teacher! down right hilarious! haha he gave me Julie's number. "101-2% is only 99" "G-" "life is sweet" As always, get used to these quotes. "did Julie give u any money to give me?" "people unnu cyah not do the H.W." Big-up yuhself Floyd!
He will help you as much as he can. If you cant take humor take another teacher. His overall environment is relaxed. He will always be late for morning classes but when he does get there you will be taught quickly. Overall he made this course easy
I LOVE HIM .. QNM IS THE HARDEST COURSE IN SENECA AND I HATE MATH SO MUCH AND GUESS WHAT I PASSED THE COURSE .. HE'S SO CHILL FUNNY AND COOL HE WILL HELP YOU AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE BOOK .. WHATEVER HE GIVRS YOU STUDY IT .. THAT'S IT .. HE HELPS A LOOOT I MEAN IT .. TAKE HIM NOW .. UR AN IDIOT IF U DIDN'T I SWEAR
I was afraid of taking this course, but finally I got A in QNM222. I like Floyd because he cares about his students a lot more than other teachers and has no discrimination and prejudice at all. Choose him if you want to successfully pass this hard course as you are not strong at statistics.
he is a funny man and give us a relaxed environment to study! like him and his teaching style.
GOOOD.he is awesome. but he loves make fun of students. he is a easy marker. believe me. every time i did a quiz. and i got wrong answer for that, but if i did the right formula. he would still give 4/6 mark for that question. he would give you the mark as much as possible. i wish all the prof can be like him. LOL.
Really awesome prof! Makes jokes in class and keeps it interesting and lively. His notes are helpful. He gets mad when people don't do their homework. DO YOUR HW PEOPLE. His tests are fair and he gives part marks. I would gladly have him as my prof again. HE ROCKS!
very nice prof. Helpful and clarity. You will go smoothly if you follow the schedule.
Very very nice prof. Test and midterms were the exact same as the reviews he gives. Really helpful and caring prof. Strongly recommend him
Great professor, if you show up and do the homework you can get an A
Hes good prof but talks too fast.
He helps make difficult concepts more understandable. He goes through the steps to a question slowly, so everyone will understand. If you have any questions, you should ask him and he will go over the answer again. His tests can be hard, but you should get a good grade if you go to class and take notes, do the homework, and study.
Good teacher, but if you participate in class he mocks you, so no one wants to speak and then he gets annoyed that no one is answering. Is consistently 30+ mins late and always an excuse as to why. He hasn't referenced the textbook once, and he doesn't use the online stuff. Don't take his class if you can't learn on your own!
By far one of my Fav profs at seneca, make sure you go to class and take notes, do the homework questions he asks you to do, hes a really fair marker, interact with his discussions and youll pass!
Not a great professor @ Seneca, his jokes were not very funny... In class, he did not clearly explain or teach the procedure properly, and discouraged students from going to learning centre because he thinks his methods are superior over others. I basically got my marks from going to learning centre.
He is a very hard marker and expects a lot from his students. To be honest if you do his homework, attend class and participate you'll be fine
The most awesome prof for QNM222! Please take him! He will pass you even if you are failing. He will help you out no matter what! Also, he loves his bubble tea, if you want to get some good marks buy him bubble tea from Bubble Tease!
Some students don't like him because the level of the professor is above those dumb students. You come to class, you excel in the course. There is no better professor than him in the college. Just take his notes and you will definitely get A+ in the course.
He is one of the best professors I've ever had. He is very knowledgeable and dominant on the material. If you always show up to his lectures and make notes of every example he does in class you can easily get an A+ in this course. He is also very caring and helpful even after the class if you face difficulties doing a question he'll be there.
He is an amazing professor! I am short of words. Take him if you want to learn and earn an A grade. He is the Best!
The subject is hard, but the professor is very careful whether people are understanding or not . If you do not like to take things seriously, forget about it.
He gives good lectures. If you don't understand anything he will explain it again for you
If you can stand his jokes, which a lot of the time I didn't find funny, he is the teacher to choose. There is no better teacher for QNM222/444. Although he didn't post much on the online Blackboard system, if you can do the practice tests he posts, you should be fine for the test. Also, he cares about his students understanding the material.
Great prof! Very friendly and helpful!
woooowwww he is like the best prof i have ever had in so far at seneca i am extremely sad that he does not teach any other courses. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Floyd is an amazing professor!!! I am short of words. Take him if you want to learn. He is awesome!!!
Professor Sutherland is really a good professor. his lecture is helpful and he takes responsibility for his course and he knows his stuff. But, i learned a lot from his general tips and life advice rather than a course. if you show up his class and do his homework, you should be walked away an easy A
Floyd is an amazing professor!!! I am short of words. Take him if you want to learn something. He is awesome!!! Furtunetly I have him for QNM444
He knows his stuff. He teaches well, but he is rude. He makes bad jokes and this is very annoying.
Floyd really cares about his students. He wants everyone to understand what he teaches but when you ask him questions, he gets mad and expects you that you should have understood the lecture. He gets angry when his students are not doing homework(understandable), take pictures of the notes he wrote on the board, and miss his class.
He's alright. Always late to class. He's quite loud which I guess kinda helps to make you focus! he'll help you as much as you can! He's funny and tries to speak in many different languages. Just make sure you do your homework or he'll get mad.
I don't know if he is not a good prof. or the course itself doesn't make any sense. he explains everything very fast and his hand writing is bad too, so if English is not your mother tongue, then you'll have problems. if you attend every class and listen carefully to him and do all the homework, you might be ok and get a B or something similar.
nice guy....
Floyd is an awesome prof! He makes the class very fun and he is really funny! Make sure you do the homework and attempt the practice test because if you do not do it, he will get mad, so make sure you attempt it and it ok to make mistake. Overall, a great professor
Makes a lot of jokes in class and gives bonus marks at times. Great prof would take again.
Floyd may come off as slightly strict and intimidating, but he's a prof who truly takes his work seriously and wants his students to excel. If you pay attention in his class, put your phone away, and do the homework he assigns in class, he will respect you.
The best Pro in Seneca!!!!
Floyd thinks he's funny, so his classes include a lot of cringe humor. I didn't enjoy him much as a person TBH. However, he is a really good professor. He teaches his course well and cares about students understanding every bit of the info. He makes statistics simple. Went from a C+ in QNM2222 to an A in big part to his teaching.
He has been a great mentor and a very nice person to have a conversation with. He is very much inspirational and tries his best to help his students achieve the best. Overall, one of the best professors in Seneca.
Amazing Prof! He is really funny and really caring of the students. If you do your homework and come to class and ready to learn, he will respect you.
Amazing Professor! I think he is the only one that care a lot with his students learning in class. Classes aren't dull and he is humorous. Won't regret taking this class. I struggled a lot because I missed a lot of classes but he still helps. Just listen to him and do his practice questions and you will be good!
Floyd Sutherland is an amazing professor! I did have him for QMN222 before and he still an amazing professor. He gives examples in classes that are similar to quizzes and mid-term. If you do the homework and come to classes every day, then you would not have a problem of getting a good mark
its all hands on, and lots of practice
Best Pro ever
Floyd is that professor who will not move forward with the lectures until everyone is on the same page. He will make sure that all his students have understood the topic being taught. Sample tests really help, relatively decent exams. Oh, he is definitely one of the humblest professors at Seneca.
He is not much helpful, hard to understand and a hard marker!
Very good professor, is my second time taking a class with him! If you follow his lectures or recording classes and actually pay attention, you will notice that is like he opens your brain and put everything in! Pretty straight forward with what you need to pay attention and study for any test or exams. You wont regret taking his class!
you can get a good grade by watching the videos on the website,I understand nothing from his lecture. Not answering emails . Be aware if something happens in the day of your test, he is not responsive!I don't suggest him
Professor Floyd is a nice person and makes sure his students understands well in class but he does not prepare you for difficult or different kind of sums. His quizzes are easy but midterm and finals are super hard. If you don't study you are bound to fail, not to mention even after studying most of us find it difficult and is a tough grader.
This prof is okay, the lectures are pretty longer but if you're taking Stats you can learn everything through the websites the course provided need to pay $40+ for that though in order to pass the course worth 15%. I attended his lecture 4 times only.
Floyd brings a lot of energy and passion when teaching stats. You will have to buy and outside course that teachers you everything in stats so showing up to class is kind of pointless.
No mutual respect and trust if in person class. Class environment is hostile. Sometimes lashes out at a student for unknown reasons. As long as you study on your own and use the given material you will pass. Overall won't recommend
Straight to the point
Just study how to use Excel data analysis by myself after nearly failed in Mid-term. He is heavy in manual solutions but it doesn'l help for the test at all. And he wasn't clear about how to practise the test. He keeps telling us to do the questions manually but he gave scores base on Excel's result.
Had a really tough time sitting through his lectures in all honesty. Guy always shows up late. I mostly learned on my own, which isn't advisable because he doesn't update blackboard about test dates until the last minute. Still got my credit if my math is mathing. Tests were softball up until the final. Hate to say it but I'm glad it's over.
He was often late for class, didn't respond to emails, and distracted students by frequently asking if they were listening. Mostly, I had to learn the material on my own. The exams and homework were not difficult, so they could be managed through self-study.
Professor Floyd Sutherland is a very nice person, and I had a great experience in his class. The tests are fair and easy if you study properly, and he genuinely wants his students to succeed. He is down to earth, and I highly recommend attending his classes or watching the recordings if you miss one.
