Best prof I have ever had! He is extremely caring and will meet with students one-on-one to work through questions every day if you wanted. He explains everything in the simplest terms and his lecture notes/example questions cover everything fully. I failed this class twice before and got an A with him. Yes - he's THAT good at teaching stats!!

One of the best profs I've ever had. Extremely helpful and approachable, with clear, organized, and thorough notes. Definitely recommend this awesome prof!

All around awesome. Super friendly and helpful.

Greg Wagner is a good prof, but I found him quite boring. He just reads off the slides. For a course that is boring already, his teaching style makes it even more boring. I had trouble staying awake for most of his lectures. Overall, not bad, but really really boring.

If you are going to take a Stats class, this is the Professor that you should it take it from. He's a really good teacher, and he makes stats crystal clear for anyone.

Best prof I have had so far. He is crystal clear, and welcomes all questions. He actually gets to know you if you talk to him. His notes are as simple and organized as can be, and he has some really cool examples. Can't wait to have him for 252

BEST PROFESSOR!

Most awesome prof at the UofA period. All around great guy. Explains concepts fully and isn't a complete bore in class. He helps you with questions you don't understand and assists with labs. Actually remembers your name after the class is over with. Practice exams are a lot like the exams. Pay attention in class and you'll do awesome.

Awesome prof, I got mono in the middle of the semester and he was very helpful with everything. His notes are very detailed and he clearly put a lot of time into making them. Highly recommend this prof for stats 151. Tests are easy if you study.

Such a wonder prof! Very kind and is willing to help when ever you need help. He'd try anything to help his students improve! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I've never had a more caring and helpful professor in my 4 years at university. Wagner is a gem; he may not be the most exciting instructor, but he will do everything he can to make sure you get what you need. Exams are straightforward and based entirely on in-class examples. Homework is brutal, but dictated by the department; not by instructor.

Dr. Wagner is one of the kindest instructors I've encountered in my undergrad! He has a heart of gold, is very approachable and goes the extra mile to help his students. His notes are very straightforward and explanatory. Lecture is a bit dry but he tries to liven it up with coral reef examples from his previous research in Tanzania!

One of the best prof's I've had through University!! Stat's sucks, but he made it SO much better than any of the other profs. He is the nicest and most caring professor I've ever had. He will do anything to help you understand the material. The U of A is so lucky to have him!

He had a rough time this semester and had to miss some classes as a result, but I thought he did a really good all things considered. The section-wide Stat 252 HW was stupidly hard and very time consuming(4 assignments and 5 long lab reports), so you should expect that if you take STAT 252, but he's a great prof & his exams are quite fair.

Extremely nice professor! He is always willing to help his students. Notes are clear and easy to learn and cover everything for the exams. Very kind to students. Exams are fair, prepare for them and you will do well. Strongly recommend!!

Exams were really easy, just go through his notes and make sure you memorize the steps. It's really easy to tell the kind of questions that will be on the exam. Doing the homework and labs was difficult since there were inconsistencies with how he would teach it to us, but going to the help room maximizes your potential to do well in the course!

He might not be the best at teaching, but he tried to cut some slack for the students. Greg fought with the prof from next class using that classroom just so we can have an extra 10 mins for our midterm, and then he bumped everyone's mark because "there were not enough time" despite our average already higher than every other stat class

One of my favourite profs by far. He is so helpful, kind, and really wants his students to succeed. From having a bad mark in Stat 151 to having an A in his class, it's clear that he really knows how to teach. Highly recommend him :)

Greg was an amazing instructor. I was dreading stats 252, but he made an experience that is reputed to be unbearable enjoyable. If you attend the lectures, do the practice exams, and go to him if you need help, you will do fine. You absolutely do not need the text of this class, I didn't crack it once during the semester.

Greg is the BEST STAT 252 prof possible. Do not take it with Cartledge. His notes are posted online with blanks. Go to class, and fill them in. They are great quality. Midterm and final were very based on notes. Lab exam bit tricky. Go to lab, only some TAs give step by step instructions to get 100%. Average GPA of 3.2 in Fall 2014.

I LOVED taking his class , very clear on what he teaches and he makes sure everyone understands the material. knows his students and he makes his notes and practice exam questions helpful. I have never had a prof that was so concerned about hisher students. outside the class he stops and talks to his students offering help. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!!!!

I have taken two stats classes from Wagner, after dropping previous courses with other profs (Cartledge & Dessens). Wagner was by far the best from all three. Once I took 151 with him, I made sure to get into his 252 class. He likes to bump up grades for midterms and finals, he is always available at his office, really cares about his students.

Super nice guy, made stats interesting.

Always there for you. Prepares students well before exams.

If you need to take a 100 level Stats course, get into Greg's section. His notes are very clear, and he explains concepts well with lots of examples. He also made sure to leave time for review as a class before both the midterm and final. Greg made stats not seem as daunting as I once thought, which was greatly appreciated.

He was hands down the best prof I have ever had. He cares about his students and his exams are on the easy side. However his lecture is kinda dull but he is welling to help.

Greg is a really solid prof: he makes stats very understandable and manageable. His notes are excellent, he's approachable and organized. Does great review premidterm and final. Would definitely recommend him! Lectures are dull, but few people leave a statistics lecture feeling invigorated.

If you hate stats, Greg will make your life easier. Notes are systematic and easy to follow, must attend class to copy examples. The notes are not mandatory to pass the class, however, as the practice exams are identical to the actual exams. Very kind to students if you ever need him.

If you're taking a stats course, make sure you take it with Dr. Wagner. He was essential to my success in Stats and he will make sure you succeed too. Plus, no textbook! He sends you the notes WELL ahead of time and you fill in the blanks during lecture. The 50-minute class made the Midterm tough though (it was SO rushed), so watch out for that!

Amazing prof. Not throughout all the assignments or tests did I look at q question and say we did not learn that. Everything was completely fair. If you do need him out of class he is very approachable in office hours. You can tell this prof respects his students and wants the best for them. Great prof would highly recommend

I am by no means a stats/math student but I finished the course with an A !!! The midterm is really rushed but if you do the practice exams that he provides ( which tend to be the exact same format as the midterm/finals ) YOU WILL DO GREAT! Assignments are fair , the questions tend to be similar to the ones you will go over in class!

Amazing prof.! I could just pass the prep. course in stat 151 but got an A in 252! This prof. gave clear examples and exams were fair. Even though the midterm was rushed, he gave two ways to calculate the final scores so that you won't get a disappointing grade. Take stat with him! Attend the classes and take notes! Completely easy A!

Great professor. Very clear and procedural notes/examples. Assignments and notes are closely related to the exam questions. He made many concepts easily understandable. Just make sure to pay attention in class, read the notes, and do the assignments.

I asked to switch lab exam final day due to my personal issues, he tried his best to accommodate me on my desired day. His notes is understandable, and you need to be in class. He will not post any annotated lecture notes, so don't be late or absent.

Notes and practice exams are very useful!!!!!! These materials can help you do very well for the exams and homework.

Good looking guy. Two thumbs up

Brilliant! His notes are really helpful.

He is by far the best prof i have had so far. Skip the class, and just email him, he had send you all the notes filled out without even insulting you.

One of the best profs at the uofa. He is amazing! So nice and helpful. His notes are also so great and he is AMAZING at explaining. I got a C in STAT151 with a different proff but managed to get an A+ in 252. His sample exams and homework are extremely helpful for his actual exams.

Absolutely phenomenal. He puts so much effort into his notes - they're so comprehensive that the textbook is not necessary at all. Is willing to stop at any point to answer questions (and do so really well). Tests are IDENTICAL to his practice exams. If you have the chance to take 252 with the King of Statistics (aka Greg Wagner) then DO IT.

He was a great prof with very detailed notes. Definitely don't need to buy the textbook, just make sure you at least get the online code so you can access StatCrunch and the homework when you're not at school. Made a very detailed class seem simple, and he goes over lots of examples at every lecture.

What an awesome prof! The best one Ive had so far. Really easy to get hold of outside of class too. Labs were kinda a pain but def easy marks as well. Take him if you can!!

Prof. Wagner is the epitome of kindness, and approachability. His notes and lectures are easy to follow and provide detailed explanations of the concepts. Could not ask for a better stats prof. But, don't take this course if you don't like hypothesis testing. Also, there are subtle discrepancies in terminology between the labs and lectures.

Dr. Wagner is AMAZING He cares so much about his students. He was always easily accessible outside of class and returned emails quickly. I hated STAT 151 and he made it less intimidating and actually, enjoyable! His notes are very easy to understand and his class is engaging. 10/10 would recommend Dr. Wagner's classes.

While the course itself is not easy, Greg Wagner is amazing at explaining it. He does simply go over his notes in class, but his notes are extensive and very well made. Even if you have another prof for this class, get a hold of his notes. If you do think that you will struggle with the class, then make sure to attend every lecture.

I found Prof. Wagner to be a pretty good prof. At times it's tough to understand what he's saying if you aren't sitting close to the front, but he answers emails super fast and cares about his students. His lectures involve going through practice problems, and his notes are a great study guide. The class is very tough, but Wagner is a great choice

Mr. Wagner posted very detailed, helpful notes to print off and bring to class. These notes had questions that we did together in class, really helping to build my understanding. He managed in-class time well, and I found him to be a very friendly man. I wouldn't suggest reading the textbook. Pay attention in class and do practice questions.

Attend lecture to fill in the notes, review after every lecture and you will pass even this course is consider as difficult. Best prof in stat 151

Greg is an okay - good prof. He starts and ends classes abruptly and speaks very monotone. His notes so detailed I found they include unnecessary things. However, he is very knowledgeable and if you put the work in you'll be fine. Do the practice exams on eclass, they prepare you best. Overall a good guy, sort of dry lectures, but would take again.

Solid prof. I liked the organization of his notes after the midterm; they were meaningfully arranged. His stat 151 class is not curved (it follows the grade outline on the syllabus). Lectures might be a bit boring but he's funny sometimes. I was in a Tuesday Thursday class and we always got off at least 7 minutes early.

Dr. Wagner is the most caring and accommodating prof I have ever had. He cares SO much about his students and wants you to succeed. I was terrified of stats and he made me excel! If you are hesitant about stats in general, take Dr. Wagner. If you need to take stats for any reason, take Dr. Wagner. You have to work for a good mark, but it's DO-ABLE!

He is hands down one of the best professors I have had. My first stats course went quite badly, and I was quite apprehensive about statistics, however, Dr. Wagner was able to help me not only do well but enjoy the material. I am so thankful for his enthusiasm and superb teaching abilities which have brought me from fearing the subject to loving it.

Wagner was AMAZING. I have never been comfortable with stats before but taking this class instilled me with a lot of confidence simply due to how well he teaches. His notes are incredibly detailed, examples in class are easy to follow and representative of exams/homework. He is very caring and genuinely wants to see his students succeed

I took Stat 151 and Stat 252 which were taught by Dr. Wagner. I really enjoyed every lecture of both courses. Dr. Wagner is one of the best professor; He cares about students. Examples in his notes are clear and useful; You can get the idea of homework questions and labs by reviewing notes.

Very very fair exams that are the same as the practice. I personally love how his questions apply to real world problems like global warming. Great prof

favourite professor at the U of A, His teaching method is using fill in notes where you come to class and do examples with him. His midterm and final are the exact same as the practice midterm/final that he gives, if you're crunched on time just know how to do the practices! Also very caring supportive, and accommodating to your needs.

If youre worried about stats I highly recommend taking it with Dr. Wagner. As long as youre willing to come to class, take notes, and pay attention you will be fine. His exams are very straightforward and fair, and hes a super nice guy to talk to and is always willing to clarify things if you have questions.

The class is damn easy if you had STAT 151 figured out. It's straight up lectures based. Even if you don't attend classes, it's not a biggie, just brush up the lectures provided and you'd be good to go.

Probably one of the best GPA booster options at U of A if you take this class with Wagner. I literally did not attend a single class beyond the first couple weeks and ended up with an A no sweat. His notes are fantastic and the exams are completely identical to the practice. Take this class

wagner is amazing. He is so caring and that is so rare amoungst these uni profs. Because of him I changed my minor to stats. Please take him , he is probably one of the best professors at the university.

people who do not take STATS with him will regret not taking STATS with him, he is a king

a real gem!!!!!!!!!!

best stats prof at the UofA. if you are scared of stats: take his class, attend classes, just pay attention and put some effort into it and you will do amazing, wonderful prof

Gregory is awesome! Attendance is mandatory since notes are fill in the blanks, practice midterm is the same as the real midterm + he lets us know what's gonna be on there if any changes. Gives soo much help for assignments. Overall he's such a sweet prof he really enjoys teaching and wants to see his students do well.

Gregory is the best prof you could EVER have. He genuinely cares about his students understanding the concepts. If you need anything hes always available during office hours. Labs are super EZ. Midterm same as practice midterm and straightforward. GREAT PROF.

Awesome Prof with very detailed notes on every topic, that give exact instructions for what is expected for any kind of question. He prepares his notes with the idea that you may need to actually use the knowledge from this class in the future, and so he includes some small parts that won't be tested on.

Would not take stats with any other professor at this university. Put in the time and effort and it's a road to an A for your grade. Do the practice questions, do the homework, do the labs. Notes were overwhelming at first but you realize they are actually all super good and provide very helpful examples. A gem of a professor among all others.

Wagner's lecture style is very good when it comes to Stat 151. His notes are all planned out before each year and focus directly on the midterm and final exam. If you study exactly whats on his notes you will not be surprised by any of the questions of any of the tests. He also takes his time explaining course material.

Greg made STAT 252 easy and enjoyable. His tests are nearly identical to the practice material he gives out and he provides extra resources so we're more prepared for the exam. He was understanding and spend time to answer questions when they arose. One of the best professors I've had at UofA. You won't have any worries taking 252 with Dr. Wagner.

The class was easy and exams were identical to practice. But his note packages were really, really dense and hard to study off. He also writes on the whiteboard in a large lecture hall so if you have poor eyesight, it's hard to see even if you sit at the front.

The course load is OK and exams are easy and similar to the practice exams.

Greg is easily the best stats prof I've ever had. He explains everything in great detail & the homework & tests are actually based on the things he taught, so studying is super easy. He was very understanding for online classes over the pandemic which I greatly appreciated. Defs recommend him if you have to take stats!

Greg is awesome. He explains the concepts VERY well, his notes are very clear, well organized and the steps are clearly laid out. I was nervous going into this course because I didn't do very well in STAT 151 but I enjoyed this course way more than STAT 151 and understood the concepts way better. He also really cares about his student's success.

He is amazing. Best prof I've had in 4 years. Somehow made Stats interesting and not scary at all. Very details notes and wonderful lectures. He is an angel from heaven and I am so grateful for him. I feel so lucky to have been taught my him! Definitely recommend.

Made me enjoy stats. You must practice!

Great & in depth notes. The notes are overwhelming at first but they're good!!! Labs/homework straightforward and exams are easy. TAKE THIS CLASS!!! your stats knowledge will increase tremendously

Dr. Wagner is one of the of the best profs I have had in my university career. He is great at responding emails and it is so caring and nice. He Makes stats enjoyable and not complicated. Midterm and final are just like the homeworks and his practice midterms/finals . 10/10 recommend as someone that did poorly in Stats 151 and did good in 252

Wagner is such a fantastic prof. His lectures are so clear and the homework assignments are just variations of the in class examples. Cut-off grades, so no curve. He is also very fast with emails. The labs can be a little confusing at times, but those are not made by him. Overall, an excellent choice of prof. Open book exams during the pandemic.

Can be pretty dry, but still is good at communicating material and he has very in depth notes.

Professor Wagner is very good at teaching statistics. No textbook required. His notes are pure gold and you can learn everything you need from his lectures and notes. It can be a rough course (its math, not my thing) and I took it online during COVID, but he was compassionate and made it easier for us. If you can get Wagner for this class.

As a 4th-year student taking STATS252, Dr. Wagner is one of the best instructors I've ever had in university. His lectures are clear, and he's always available for questions via Zoom (during COVID). Exams are super straightforward; rarely are there any curveballs. He respects his students and cares about teaching. Truly a gem at the UofA.

This was a consolidated course, meaning that all the stats classes had the same assignments, tests, and prerecorded lectures, but Greg also did his own live lectures which were really helpful. He's a great teacher and his notes go super in depth. He's always available to answer questions and it's clear he cares a lot about his students.

Take Gregs class for STAT252. His lecture videos are clear and straightforward. The assignments and tests will have exactly what has already been practiced. He shows the relevance of statistics to research and makes it interesting. Take it from someone who almost failed 151 - you are in good hands!!

Greg is by far one of my favourite professors at UofA. He has an amazing structure to his statistics courses that makes learning the material fast and easy. His tests are extremely well built and very similar to the practice tests. He also shortens lectures depending on how much he gets done. This means you can often leave class early!

literally, the best prof ive had in my 5 years of uni. absolutely fantastic, cares a lot about students.

Love this prof so far, taking him right now. Seems to care about his students and the material. But please keep posting your lectures online, many students are uncomfortable going to class during the pandemic, and most other profs have moved online.

Dr. Wagner is such an asset to the university of Alberta. If I could take every class with him i'd be happy. Dr. Wagner takes a systematic approach to statistics that makes sense. If you are lucky enough to get a class with him don't waste it. 10/10 would take again.

I love Greg. He is really really nice. Best class of the day. Best stats prof for sure. <3 u Greg.

Best professor at the UofA. Midterm and Final were both extremely well represented by his practice midterm and practice final. His lectures can be dull, but his notes are fantastic and have absolutely everything that you'd need to know. Email him anytime if you're confused about the labs or lecture material. HE IS EXTREMELY NICE AND HELPFUL.

For stat 151, I would recommend Wagner to anyone. Makes your introduction to statistics very easy as long as you're willing to put in the work. Such a sweet man who's passion for his work clearly shows in his lectures. Very well organized and clear notes as well. Perfect balance of explanations and examples.

Best prof ever! His notes are amazing and he is so sweet! Loved going to his lectures :)

He clearly wants his students to succeed. He will spend more time on concepts the class has trouble understanding when needed. The assignments and labs aren't difficult but can be time consuming. The practice midterm/final provide an extremely close representation of the actual midterm/final.

Although the notes were quite heavy, he went through the more important sections in class. He also spent a while on examples in the notes that were helpful for the exams. He did have a midterm and final review class where he went through questions on the practice tests and explained the important concepts and how to approach different questions.

Dr. Wagner is such a caring and sweet prof who wants his students to succeed. His notes are too detailed but he goes through examples in class in a careful and detailed manner. He's accessablie outside of class and takes the time to provide any extra help you may need. Although I didn't do as well as I hoped, I would 100% retake this course w him!

The nicest professor I've had! Notes are dense but very detailed, examples provided (some with answers, others solved in lecture). Expectations and instructions were clear. Never makes you feel dumb for asking questions. Tests are easy to practice for. The homework and labs are time consuming but straight forward.

I am so bad at math but Dr. Wagner's classes made math make sense. He is the best math teacher that I have ever had and taught in a way that I actually understood the concepts. He is such a nice human and really cares about his students understanding the content and doing well in his class. By far one of the best profs that I have ever had.

for me he wasnt a great prof for 151, but he is definitely the best 252 prof. the concepts are explained super well in class, and the in class examples are very similar to the assignments and exams. he doesnt post annotated notes but every time i was sick i could email him and he sent the notes for the day i missed. highly recommend for 252

Dr. Wagner was an amazing stats prof. I dreaded 151 but he made 252 easy to understand. Also, he is extremely helpful in his office hours. Very caring, understanding prof. He also makes cute jokes which made class enjoyable :)

Online course due to COVID - 19, entire section collaborated with every other STAT 151 section. Studied and only passed due to having access to another professors lectures that were available online. Had to put in an extreme amount of effort to even pass this class but not due to the professors, I'm awful at math.

Amazing professor! Dr. Wagner has clear notes and lectures that really make statistics a lot easier to understand. He is also very kind and helpful. 10/10

He explained concepts clearly and provided many examples and practice questions that made studying for exams much easier. He is funny, kind, and he genuinely wants his students to succeed.

He really understands that a lot of students fear/hate stats so his goal is to make it as approachable as possible. In that he is very successful, almost everything he teaches is with concrete examples of when and how to use the tools, its an easy A if that is all you want. If you want to actually learn applied stats its also amazing for that.

Wagner was definitely the best 252 prof this semester. The lectures were reasonably interesting, and the course was very easy, because all of the exam questions were just like the homework questions, and all of the homework was the same as in-class examples. The labs and homework are somewhat time consuming, but not very hard. I 100% recommend him!

Great lectures! Has many examples and goes step-by-step to ensure that everyone understands. Can get boring if you understand the content easily, BUT it really helps consolidate the content. Would 100% take him again. He explains his notes in great depth during lectures, so make sure to go.

Sweet prof but course is tough... 30% worth of midterm paper with 30 marks worth questions. 50% final with 50 marks worth questions. Grading is tough because of that. Group projects are a huge pain and absolutely useless and needlessly tough to navigate. would never take the course again

Stat 151 can be hard for some people like me but Dr. Wagner is the best. Although his lectures are sometimes boring, he tries to make jokes mid class and tries his best to explain the course.

Best STAT 252 prof at the UofA! Lectures were really clear and concise. Attending class is really important, as the questions he solves there are identical to the questions on the homework and midterm and final. As long as you write all that down and do practice questions, you should do great. Also really accessible outside of class!

Dr. Wagner is an excellent STAT 151 professor. He is super accessible during office hours and is excellent at teaching concepts one-on-one. His lecture notes provide every example you need to do well on assignments and exams.

Dr. Wagner is an incredible prof. Homework and labs were fair, and accurately reflected the material covered in lecture. He doesn't post the full notes, you have to attend class for those. However, if you miss a class, he will be happy to provide the notes for you. Exams were just like the practice. My whole class clapped for him on the last day.

Wagner is GOAT! He probably is the best professor I have ever met. I had STAT 151 with him as well. Very detailed, caring, and patient. He also responds to emails as soon as possible. He didn't post notes tho, so just make sure you attend classes. Once I missed 2 weeks of classes cuz of getting sick, then he emailed me all the notes that I missed.

TAKE HIS CLASS BY ALL MEANS. We had bi-weekly written assignments and Labs (4 each) which were decent. The exams are really similar to the practice finals but remember the topics are not hard, very easy with practice especially.

Amazing amazing professor! He made sure to give students time to ask questions and try questions on their own during class time. He was always available outside class time and through email. He is a super friendly professor too and very caring of students. Would definitely recommend.

Prof Wagner is an amazing professor! He genuinely cares about his students and will spend as much time as needed to help them. He would talk to me and help with my accommodations regularly. It's refreshing to see a caring person like him in the intro level science classes.

Professor Wagner is an amazing and caring professor. He is always super accommodating with questions and takes his time explaining concepts. Most of his notes are completed in class but if you email him he will send you the notes. His notes are always super similar to assignments and his practice exams are as well! Best Prof! Recommend to Everyone

Greg is the GOAT! He responds to emails super quickly, explains examples thoroughly, tells you exactly what you need to know, and the homework is super useful! I had a C in 151 with Fok, but Wagner showed me that STATS is sort of fun :)

Great guy, his notes are very detailed and his examples are pretty much identical to the homework. Not a hard course, but does have a fair amount of work (assignments and labs are long, but you get plenty of time). Labs were probably the most time-consuming part, as sometimes it's not super clear what they want for output. Overall easy class.

if you're taking stats TAKE HIM he is so caring and explains concepts very clearly

very sweet

Gregory is one of the best teachers I've had here at UofA. Knows the subject well and has been teaching it for many years. He's very kind and understanding. Show up to class because most notes are filled in the blanks. Not a huge STATS guy but Greg made it a breeze for me. Would take another class with him any day

I think he is the best stats prof there is. Although I still am not good at stats he got me through this class better than I would have ever hoped for. Definitely go to lectures. There is too much homework but I think it's the stats department who chose that not him

Nice prof, took 252 in the summer, and the course is a breeze, and midterm and final look very similar to the practice questions, and very enjoyed the content as well (a lot of hypothesis tests and analysis).

Best prof for Stats 252, I was originally in kowaloskis stats class and then switched into Wagers which was the best decision. Finals and midterms, even though were long was overall easy. I got a B in stats 151 but in this class I was able to get a lot higher. 100% recommended this course with this prof.

He is such a kind, helpful, and wonderful person! The assignments and exams are fair and similar to the practice questions and in-class examples. It is a very organized class. I highly recommend him!

He teaches the material in an easy-to-understand manner and tests very fairly. He's really chill and accessible outside of class. Ngl this class was basically a GPA booster.

He is the best professor for stats! He is the most caring and kind hearted professor. He makes sure that you understand every step. The course itself requires a lot of hard work and practicing but Dr. Wagner makes it easy. Also, he always and replies fast to your emails! Definitely reccommend him the best professor I ever had!

Very caring professor made this course so easy to get an A+, if you do the examples and the practice questions

He's so great. I went to his office hours almost every week and he never got annoyed or anything. He does not post filled notes online so attendance is mandatory if you want to do well. Overall a great professor with very fair exams. He is super sweet

Such a great prof! The class was structured clearly and his notes were precise. I was a bit worried since I didn't do that well in stats 151 but I found this class much easier and more interesting too. An A+ is achievable just by reviewing notes and doing all the practice questions.

SCI 201 is amazing! It teaches essential research skills and prepares you for future courses with research components and grad school. No prior knowledge needed; exams and homework are fair and manageable. The mini-project is a fun way to apply what you've learned, with lots of support and feedback. Dr. Wagner is kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

Great prof! Very friendly and helpful in office hours. SCI 201 was a good overview of the scientific process. We got to pick our own topic from whatever field we wanted for a research project, and went through the planning, experiment, and writing parts of research. Fantastic class. Very useful for students interested in research.

SCI201 was extremely beneficial in preparing me for research projects in future years or grad school, as the centre of the course was a research project itself. The workload was not too heavy but I also felt I genuinely learned a lot. Dr. Wagner was consistently available outside of class and your work reflected in your grade. Highly recommend!

SCI201 breaks down the scientific process and goes into depth about each step, very beneficial for writing research papers for other classes and grad school. Dr. Wagner is an amazing prof, he really cares about his students' success. Class notes are detailed, exams are extremely fair, assignments are clear with abundant support. Highly recommend!

Dr. Wagner is definitely one of my favourite professors at the uofa. He makes it very clear what to focus on for exams and provides very good feedback for projects. I found SCI 201 to be an especially helpful class as a student in honours psych. If you want to do anything research related, I cannot recommend this class enough, it was very helpful

Really useful course for experiencing the research process. You'll conduct your own mini project on whatever topic you choose and will receive valuable feedback on all your work. The lectures, homework, and project all connect together to enhance and apply your knowledge. Choose a topic that interests you, and the main project will feel light!

One of the highlights was the opportunity to develop and present our own research projects. Dr. Wagner is a very caring prof who creates a very supportive learning environment, providing us with clear guidance. The exams are manageable and fairly easy. Highly recommend this course to anyone before taking any 299 or 399 research courses.

Great guy, just follow his examples and you'll do good! Very helpful in office hours too

He is the best Professor I have ever had. Just because of him, I found this course easy. Just follow him, and try to do practice questions that are posted on e-class.

Gregory Wagner is a fantastic stats professor. His class is well-structured, with clear notes and fair exams. Attending lectures is a must, but it really pays off. I found ChatGPT and unstuck study super helpful for exam prep, alongside the practice questions.

Greg rocks so hard! Stats is not an easy thing to teach and from someone who struggled so much in 151, he does an incredible job teaching the material. His notes seem heavy but are easy to follow and describe everything you need to know.

The notes and practice problems are exactly like the ones on the exams. I found it super easy to follow the notes and apply the knowledge. Yes, he does just go over the notes in class but still helpful and listens to his students. Never found stats easy and but Wagner makes is super simple

Tests are exactly like the notes/practice problems. He goes over the problems step-by-step in class so you know exactly what to write on the test. Easy class but a lot of work with the homework/labs/practice. Gives you hits on what's on the test

Very clear lectures and homework/labs. Annotated lectures are not posted so you need to attend class, but he is forgiving if you miss the odd lecture and will email you the notes. Homework follows the examples closely and labs have instructional videos for computer output. Midterm and final were representative of the course.

Dr Wagner was a great prof who made things very clear in a tricky subject. my grade is not a reflection of his teaching i was jus going through it.

he's one of the best profs in my whole undergrad! will def take courses with him again!Hes also very professional and office hours are really helpful

This course is not for you if you are looking for mathematical stimulation. It is about understanding logic, processes, applications of statistics, and repetition. The midterm and final were reflective of the course content. Most of the homework was similar to the practice problems. All labs were individual. Attendance was necessary for notes.

If you liked STAT 252, this course will be enjoyable too. Don't stress about selecting a topic and writing reports, everything is very formulaic and you can make your topic about anything. It was very helpful to talk to him during office hours or after class. Thank you Professor Wagner for a wonderful semester!

SCI 201 is a great class option if you are interested in doing research ! It will help prepare you to do research projects in other courses as you get to conduct your own "mini research project". Dr. Wagner is also a very caring professor and you will get lots of support.

If you anticipate having to do research in the future, definitely take this course. It gives you the knowledge to feel more confident when conducting your own research and Dr. Wagner clearly cares deeply about his students doing well in the course. The mini research project might seem daunting, but it is actually fun if you pick a topic you enjoy!

The GOAT, if it's one of his course take them without a thought, at least for STATS

Fill-in-the-blank PDF notes are provided, as well as tons of practice questions. I recommend attending class, so that you can fill in the notes during the lecture, since the filled-in notes are not posted(but you can email Dr. Wagner if you miss class). I also suggest attending the lab help sessions. The assignments and labs are fairly easy.

I struggled in 151 & got a B. With Wagner, I got an A+. If u are confused, THAT'S OKAY, just GO TO HIS OFFICE & ASK FOR CLARIFICATION. He's ALWAYS available to help (& doesn't get annoyed!) so if u don't use him a resource & are unhappy with ur grade, that's entirely on u ngl. He'll HELP you succeed, u just need to reach out - u CAN do this :) !!!!

Hes 10/10 and and he's tests are very fair.

Dr. Wagner is very patient, easy going and approachable outside of class. He does not try to trick anybody with his exam questions and designs his classes so that his students will succeeded. I had him for STAT 252 as well and he really works to ensure that everyone can keep up in his classes so long as they put in the effort.

SCI 201 really helps in the preparation of research projects that you would need to do in other courses. The individual mini-research project is the highlight of the course which is not a heavy workload but rather provides the opportunity for a hands-on experience in conducting your own project! A very fun class with lots of real-life applications.

Dr. Wagner is an excellent professor! I took his SCI 201 class to help with my future research goals. The material was manageable, exams were straightforward, and his office hours were very helpful. Overall, a fantastic course and a great introduction to research.

This was one of my favourite classes last semester, and what I'd consider a fairly easy A. The course doesn't require much, a few Hws and one self-directed research project that you have full control over. Dr. Wagner's lectures are very straightforward, and he sets very clear expectations for exams, assignments, and projects.

This course really breaks down the scientific process and builds a solid foundation in research. The professor made the topic approachable and took the mystery out of research methods, making things feel a lot less intimidating. It's a great course for anyone looking to get a clear roadmap for diving into scientific work.

Professor Greg makes SCI 201 a really fun and easy elective to take if you're looking for a 200-level science course! The mini project might look daunting but it really isn't a lot of work, choose something you're passionate about as your topic, and literally anything you can't figure out, just go to the prof's office hours and talk it out with him

greg is the most amazing prof!!! he is seriously so kind and empathetic and his lectures are super easy to follow. his exams are very fair and are quite similar to the practice. he made this course so enjoyable 10/10 recommend!!!

After taking both Stats 252 and Sci 201 with Dr. Wagner, I couldn't recommend him enough. Truly the best professor at the UofA, he wants all his students to excel which is reflected by his detailed notes and lectures. He goes through every problem, so that questions on exams are never a shock. I wish he taught more classes!

10/10 prof, my only problem with him is that he doesn't release his lecture notes, you have to go to his classes and take notes. However his exams are very fair and representative of his HW and has detailed notes.

One of the best profs I've had. Made sci 201, super interesting and really easy to follow, even if you haven't taken stat 252. The research project seems like a lot of work but you do it in increments so its super manageable and really interesting. Take this class if you can and if you want to get into research, it'll help you a lot.

slow paced lecture. I don't like how he sets up his notes(one pdf for an entire topic, ~60 pages). while reviewing the notes it is hard to find specific concept or example. most of his examples are biology related, which made things more complicated for people that stopped taking bio after grade 11.

Wagner made the course so interesting that it makes me want to take another stats course for fun. Never felt rushed during the lectures, we went through all the material throughly. He is able to draw connections throughout the course so at the end you have a holistic understanding of the material. Just don't skip out on lectures

Lectures are well structured and easy to follow. The research project is really rewarding - you get the freedom to dive into a topic you're actually interested in, and there's lots of support if you go to office hours. Great course if you're into research! Exams are also fair and pretty similar to the practice material

Wagner is a very caring prof who wants his students to do well. If you are unclear about anything, he's very willing to explain concepts and always gives a lot of tips on the research project too. The concepts were very fair and informative, it will help if you'll do research in the future; the homework prepares you well for the midterm and final.

Easy course, prof give practice questions which are similar to exam

Dr.Wagner is by far the best professor I've had during my undergrad. He took a topic I used to hate (stats), and made it something somewhat enjoyable. He's super caring and super understanding of his students. He also makes his exam and other assessment requirements very clear. 11/10 prof

dr wagner made stats so so fun, if my 1st year self were to hear me say this she'd lose her mind. Dr Wagner is soso kind and is always happy to help out. His note packages + the practice materials were just chefs kiss. The exams all fair
