Brilliant Teacher, helpful, and nice. Exams are crazy. One tips is try to do the **most difficult ** questions and ask him if you dont know how to solve them

Easy!!! I did no HW EVER. i slept 60% of the time, I crammed for each test the night before (and that means 2 hrs max of studying), and I got an A. LOL!

breakdown.3 exams and a final.and a Lab thingy you must do every friday.he likes to use applications (word problems) on his test.for me,this class was hard!he's nice,but i didn't like his teachings.i was lost like every class session.i don't recomend him.

He is really smart himself, also fun to talk with. He covers materials WAY TOO FAST! He expects you to know everything, 3 midterms are really hard! However, he gives A for the course to whoever scores 90% on his final, which is not so impossible!

he is very helpful and knows what he is talking about. He wrote the book which is easy to fallow. His test are hard but they are open book and notes. you can attent any math lab you want to get extra help. huge opportunity for extra credit. great teac

He is the most knoledgable in De Anza Math department. If you want an A, don't take him. If you want to learn what's Statistics and experience how a teacher can influence your whole life, DON'T MISS HIM!!!

He is pretty hard. better study!!!

great guy, fun in class, helpful. wrote the book and hw is everything in it but never checks hw or attendance. grade's based on tests alone, exchanges extra credit for lowest score. tests are very hard and based on lectures more than hw. but you do learn.

this is me: did no homework, got B on both midterms, didn't do the special extra credit homework, paid hella attention in class, Aced the final, aced the class. Yes, it is an easy boring class, his policy (summer 2002), no matter what your grade before final, if you get an A on final you get class A

He teaches very fast. If you show up everyday and act interested he will help you. Very nice man. Class is easy for math majors, but very difficult for everybody else

mr.soler is hella nice and helpful...i dunno what the rest of you guys are talking about..the class is freakin hard(dats so true) though...just do your work and show up in class everyday..ask questions!!!find some other resources that can help you in the class such as tutorial sessions...good luck!

good teacher

this was an extremely challenging class, but you have to admit the guy knows his stuff better than anyone else. read ahead and the lectures make much more sense. if you want an easy A look somewhere else, if you want to learn stats take it from this professor

Great teacher. Very friendly and helpful. Got an A in the class. Not exactly an easy A but it wasn't hard either.

Great guy. very friendly and funny. Tells a lot of jokes. He should be a comedian instead of a professor. He knows his stuff though.

This guy expects his students to read and learn the materiel, this is college after all. If you work hard, go to office hours and talk to him like a human being i guarantee you will like him.

he is extremely nice. really does have some decent jokes. some will get you laughing for a while. he is extremely helpful. i mean really great. any question you have he can answer. virtually any. but be advised he dislikes slackers. like w/any college class,if you arent comitted then y go 2 college in the first place. no EZ A but surely can b done.

to tell you the truth... all his hard lectures will be come in handy when you take stats at uc... he matches the level of hardness from ucs so that you wont struggle hard when u transfer to UC. THX soler u helped me alot! and all u have taught me are being practiced here at UCSD. without i will fail my stats class!i got an A in my stats UC class

ALthough math 10 is really hard subject, i got it because of his teaching. He helped me a lot. His class is trustworthy at De Anza college. If you get A in his class, almost all math teacher will trust your skill! People who don't study will dislike him because his class is really tough. If you wanna know what math 10 is, go take his class!

Great Math teacher. I can't wait to take him for calc. He really trys to prepare you. Nice guy, he cares about his students. He is difficult, but only because he excepts people to study and be prepared for class.

his book on stats is great! i dropped his stats class due to too much course load but i still have the book and plan to keep it because of how much i like it. his book is filled with real world examples, so that along with stats u increase your knowledge of what's going on in the world too. i think the book is fairly readable.

I have to say it's not the easiest class in DeAnza. I took him b/c I didnt get space in any other class. Nice guy and he does really prepare you for statistics. If you really want to learn stats learn it from him

His class isn't the easiest class. He expects you to study from books, and have unannounced quiz. His quizes and tests are all open book open notes and calculator allowed. His quizes aren't that hard either. If you are willing to learn, he helps you a lot. Just keep up with homework and you will do just fine. I got As in both classes. Wish h

He teaches a VERY difficult class. That being said, he does a good job of presenting the material in his lectures and will always work out problems with the students. Do not take him unless you are willing to study.

Mr. Soler is a nice professor. He presents lots of materials in the limited time. His explanation is clear, organized, and precise. Apparently, he knows the stuff very well. His book is certainly very interesting. He connects statistics with American culture. I feel very lucky that I took his class and enjoyed it a lot. I highly recommand him!

He is alright. If you are looking for a slacker class, this is not it. I missed a few days of class, but it was not difficult for me. Not exactly an easy A, but it was not difficult. I didn't really read his book and just did a few practice. Only around 20% get As. I got an A. You will too if you are not dumb or just study.

i admit, frank's class is not easy. but youll learn a lot if your really concentrate on the material. plus frank has really great personality. you might not like stats, but youll definitely like the person that he is.

He is a very nice guy but his class is very challenging you are forced to cram a lot of information in a short period of time. If you really concentrate and show him that you want to do well he will help you out. He is always happy to help if you visit his office hours too.

if you want an easy A, don't take this class. if you want to learn stats, take it from frank. he knows EVERYTHING about stats and is more than happy to explain/answer questions. his tests are challenging but fair. the key to succeeding in this class is doing practice problems. the tests are exactly the same, just with different numbers

i didn't like him at first because his teaching is way too fast and hard. the only way i overcame was reading the book ahead of class and work on the problems. if you read ahead of class his teaching is very clear. if you don't read, u'll get lost any second. he is a fast going teacher. not recommended for lazy students. muy smart, funny prof.

great guy. HARD class but once you get it, its interesting. HIS labs are pointless and they DONOT Help u on the test. MAKE SURE U DO THE PRATICE PROBLEMSSS!!!!!! also the book is really horrible at explaning things.

His class is made for people who are intuitive in maht and probability. If you just don't GET math very well, don't take his class. If you find math easy, you won't find a more relaxing class anywhere.

This class is NOT easy. The tests are open book and open notes. The tricky thing is that all of the tests are mainly conceptual. So just knowing the formulas isn't going to get you too far. Labs are pretty easy and what can save you in the class is doing the probs. Those are extra credit and if you do all of them, they will replace your lowest midt

this class is not for slackers. some people show up in class unprepared and expect to do well, and WHEN they don't, blame it on the professor. If you read the book, and you do the problems on your own, you will not find this class hard. Mr. Soler is very helpful and he really wants his students to learn. Just do your part!

Best math teacher I have ever had. Approachable, animated, great sense of humor although many students did not get many of his jokes because one must pay attention in class. This is a tough course and you will work hard. If you can get through it you will be prepared.

I've always been good at stats, and I generally don't take De Anza classes too seriously because of how easy most of them have been for me. Frank is hard though. The average for the first midterm in our class was 61! Frank is funny and he likes sports, and he always asks me about the Giants. It's a bit weird how he always touches us, but not sexual

Prof Soler is the best statistic professor, math 23 is definitely the class you want to take in De Anza if you want to pursuit your career in finance, business and many other disciplines. Math 23 is the course that is exactly the same as courses in university level. Definitely take it, you will learn a lot and be prepared for upper division course

doesn't take attendence. no hw. 2 tests which are open notes and one final. however even with that, the class average for both tests were 50. no curve. he's not a bad teacher because he's really smart; he's just extremely hard. to do well, it takes A LOT more than just going to class.

Nice guy, funny. If you already are good at stats, this is a good class bc he doesn't take attendance/collect hw, only 2 midterms and a final, and labs every Friday. But if this is your first stats class, you might want to take someone else, unless math is easy for you and you learn quickly. I would say easy B if you put effort, achievable A.

He is a helpful person, but to get a good mark you need to work hard and attend all of his class.. if you want to take statistic take from him, because you will get a lot of achievement.

This class will be hard if you're not naturally good at math, especially word problems. Soler lectures precisely by the book since he wrote it himself. Attendance not mandatory but it's crucial, missing one class will result in a lot of confusion. Go to the tutoring sessions, they help a lot. Easy B. Hard tests- average was in the 60s-70s.

He is a funny teacher, and explains things well. I liked the guy even though he threw a marker at me for asking a silly question in class. I recommend taking this instructor for statistics.

Frank is a good teacher. Although his class is sometimes hard, if you really take time to study then it shouldn't be so bad. He's more than willing to help during his office hours. He's a very nice guy who cracks jokes occasionally. He's easier than Mosh, FOR SURE.

He explains the materials very well in general. It is not an easy class. But this is MATH! It is not suppose to be easy. Frank trys to teach student in a more interesting way. He grades student strictly. The highest grade he gave was B in my class.

Attendance is Mandatory!! You will be lost if you do not go to class every day. Trying to understand the book without his lectures is difficult. If you go to class, then Stats is EASY. Also, don't be fooled because first 5 wks were so easy I never opened the book, then came Central Limit Thm and my grade plummeted bc of it, so don't slack off!

The best professor ever! He's materials are hard, but is extremely helpful once you transfer. Upper div. Statistics is almost the similar level with his class. If you are wanting to know the material, then study, go to his office hour. He is there because he loves to teach. He just solely love students.

Frank is not an easy teacher. However, he's more willing to help during his office hour. And his like a grandfather-figure at times. But I don't think I will take another class with him again, final exam was SUPER DUPER difficult.

Frank is a really good teacher hands down. He's an overall nice dude and does a good job of explaining the concepts which really shows his passion for the field. Just show up to class EVERYDAY, and keep up with the reading, you should be fine. I suggest taking the 730 class for more hands on attention, and if you're a baseball fan, you'll love him.

I don't know who wrote the comment below me, but we are in the same class and I have to agree! Frank is a great teacher and he takes the time to explain the concepts. I would take his class all over if I had to. Also make sure to read the book and go to class or else you'll be lost.

One of the greates teachers in De Anza college. My grade is far lower than I thought,but I know it is my own problem. He gave us very clear explaination.Although I don't like math, I loved the Math10 after taking class with him. He did the surgery on Wed, but he still insisted to give us class on next Monday. You will feel guity if you don't study

Professor Soler teaches a college course in statistics. He is organized, prepared, knowledgeable, and fair. Quizzes are unannounced. Also, computer lab projects, 2 midterms, and final. He returns graded papers on the next day. Everything is open book/notes. Questions are not easy and require deep understanding. The course prepares students well.

Frank is hard, bottom line. He goes through sections VERY fast and makes you study hard. Tests are challenging as well. But he is absolutely HILARIOUS. He makes Stats a fun class since he's always joking. He's very organized and as long as you keep up with the work, you should be fine. Just remember, STUDY. His tests require thinking.

Frank is actually a very nice guy. He goes through the material pretty fast but willing to help you with any question. His test is not easy and you definitely need to read books. He never takes roll and doesn't drop people for not showing to class.

Well, I think I personally do understand the people under thought, but the thing is that college maths is hard, you can't look forward to pass the class easy if you are not concentrate, either you are not in a math related major which I would like to suggest stay away from him, otherwise, he is a really nice guy and would like to help if you ask.

He is a very nice and kind professor. I often laugh in his class.

Frank is definitely a great professor that I'll recommend. He is charming ,humorous and he explain all the concept well. However, it's in a fast pace so read the textbook prior to or post class is mandatory.He is also thoughtful as he will give reminder for important events.I think I'll probably take his class again if the grade is not satisfy:)
