I hate stats and because I was never able to wrap my mind around it, but Sellers is great man with a sense of humor. Class is optional but missing it will be crucial on tests. Note cards allowed on exams. Quizzes usually every week, also note cards. He is an old man, but he knows his stuff. Pay attention in lectures and you should be fine!

Sellers is a very kind hearted professor with heart warming stories. But i didn't find myself having this great time like these other reviews had. His notes are pretty scattered and its difficult to follow his train of thought sometimes. Make sure to do the practice quizzes because the actual quizzes are based from them.

He maybe old, but he really knows his stuff. He is very helpful when you need it. The quizzes are pretty much from the workbook so study that. Even though I find myself confused on some of the lectures, but having him and classmates is a lot more easier.

He is a very sweet guy. If you go to his office hours, he will remember your name. Sometimes he goes off track but at the end he makes things clear. Don't go the math lab and instead make a study group. His quizzes and test are easy. Make sure to do the workbook quizzes and ask questions!!

By far the best professor I came across. He is a "134" years old but is very knowledgeable. The textbook is mandatory. I came into this class thinking it was going to be hard but honestly he's really straightforward on what you need to know. Definitely recommend before he retires

I have since graduated, but had to come and back and say Prof Sellers is the best college professor in Sacramento across the board! He teaches to many different learning styles and is very responsive. I do not like Stats/Math, but I looked forward to every single one of his classes and got a B which is nothing short of a miracle! Take him.

4 tests. And weekly quizzes (straight out of the book) THATS IT. Plus if you get an A in the class you don't have to take the final. You can have as many notecards on the tests and the tests are super easy.

He is an amazing professor! There are quizzes about every week and those are almost the same as the study practice questions. He lets you use as many flashcards as you want for formulas and steps on the exams.

Sellers may have been a good professor at one point, but he's in his 80s now and is very forgetful and scatterbrained, which makes it really hard to learn anything in this class. Everything is so disorganized and he's constantly moving all over the place. He's the sweetest person but I'm learning everything from the math lab :(

I took Statistics 300 thinking I would get a low B or even a C. I am not a math person at all. Sellers made sure i understood the subject and made himself available before each class in the study area. By the end of this course i was convinced that i could be a mathematician. Highly recommend you take this class!

Professor Sellers is really good at teaching but I felt like I didn't really learn anything. This class was very easy because he wants you to pass and allows you to have note cards on the exams. He gets distracted a lot and is very funny but the class is very slow paced. He also makes the final optional if you have an A in the class.

Take another professor if you can. This professor is disorganized and doesn't explain the material well. If you struggle in math, DON'T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.

Professor Sellers made Statistics pretty simple and easy to understand! Your grade is based on quizzes and tests and if you have an A by the end of the semester, you won't have to take the final. Sellers is 86 years old, but he can definitely still teach!

Great professor. If you want to learn the topic thoroughly then pay attention during class and follow along as you solve problems together. He reviews worksheets with the class and offers extra credit if he thinks the class needs it. Some people can probably fake it till the make it but he actually teaches very well so why not put in the effort?

Professor Sellers is such an old sweet guy. Although he is forgettable and goes off topic at times, his teaching style is awesome. He listens to his students and you can tell he wants everyone to pass. Class isnt mandatory, but you should still show up because after all you are paying for the class. If you hate math just like me, take this class!

Really sweet professor. He wants all of his students to class and attendance is not mandatory. If you do not show up to class he will not hold it against you but you do miss a lot of the material. Highly recommend taking his class. Easy grade!

It's been a few years now. I went on to a BA in psychology. Sellers has the highest pass rate and is the best statistics teacher in Northern California (according to another teacher in the math dept). I still have the first edition of his book and use it as a reference. I've taken advanced stat from others but I wouldn't get it if not for Sellers.

I cant thank this professor enough for what he did for me this summer. He is by far the BEST teacher that i have ever had in college. Very understanding when it comes to math. Years and years of actual experience. Enjoys teaching and you can tell he wants to actually teach you and help you. Very light work in class, JUST QUIZES. I love this teacher
