He's lazy and doesn't like to grade anything meaning that you don't get it back for a long time. He strans A LOT off topic. His tests are harder than his reviews! He got lazy at the end and dropped a test. During the final, he corrected our tests before we handed it in. He was too lazy to grade them all. Got a B but deserved a D. Good luck!

By far, Kostyrko is the worst teacher I have ever experienced. He never arrived to class on time, in fact, on numerous occasions he either didn't show up until the second half (of a 2.5 hour class) or arrived 30 minutes late. He then proceeded to hold the students over up to 30 minutes after class.

He is good at explaining math. If only he would've stuck to teaching MATH! He talked too much about us using the correct math words in sentences (i.e. We will multiply-Not-We will times, etc...)If he spent more time on math than on English - I would've stayed in his class, but he went on and on about English and it was a waste of everyone's time!!

I respect Professor Kostyrko. He is very straight forward & blunt. I found him funny but you can' take his jokes personally or else you will be offended. You have to speak up bc he can't hear that well. Other than that, grading is easy. Mid-term & Final is okay. He doesn't require the bk but the access code for online hw & quizzes.

If you need to take a stats class, take it with professor Kostyrko. He is so understanding, and will help you no matter what. He will always open up past homeworks, quizzes and even exams to make sure you get the grade you want and he also provides so many attempts. There is no reason why you shouldn't succeed in this class. You won't regret it.

This class was overall pretty easy. You are required to purchase a textbook that has all of your coursework. There are a few homework assignments and one quiz each week. Professor Kostyrko lets you retake quizzes and exams. I would recommend this class to everyone!

Such a great class and professor. There are 2 homework assignments per week and each homework has 5 attempts overall, and 5 question attempts within. In addition, there are 5 extra credit assignments that you can do or you can take the final exam. Other than that, there are no quizzes or tests.

First 2 weeks for site is free but you must choose whether to drop or pay $50+ and continue the class. Learn from your mistakes and you'll do amazing as there are tons of attempts on everything. Learning how to use stat crunch is a must in this class so ask the very kind/caring professor, or watch youtube vids on how to do the problems with it.

Take this prof if you want an easy A. You still have to do the work but he gives you SO much time to do so. Hw is available the whole semester (recommend doing them on time w quizzes tho since some of the ?s are the same), 1 quiz/wk but usually gets extended 3-7days, 6 attempts & 4hr each attempt to take a maybe 20 ? quiz. Very understanding prof

Awesome teacher that cares about his specialty but is also understanding about people's situations. All assignments available from start of semester. Used Pearson for assignments. Keep in mind that astronomy is a tough subject: a lot of reading and numbers. I skimmed other reviews here and they generally seemed accurate. Questions in final = assgnQ

This Professor is very sweet and easygoing. This class was very easy, full credit for late work. You have to stay on top of your work cause hmwk is pretty hefty, but you have plenty of chances to get a good grade. Easy-ish A.

Honest opinion here: This professor is extremely understanding with his students. Miss a deadline for an important exam? No problem. He will work with you and even extend it. No need to stress in this class. You have plenty of attempts for each assignment. As long as you put in the effort, you will get an A. Also, STATCRUNCH is a life safer.

This guy is so chill and nice. Honestly, you use Pearson to do all your assignments/tests for this class. You can retake anything as much as you want pretty much and he usually always gives extensions. USE STATCRUNCH AND MYMATHLAB ON YOUTUBE. Your grade is pretty much based on how much time and effort you're willing to give.

Not an easy class, but the professor is great. Need an extension? He readily provided it, and he even extended the deadline for all assignments until the end of the semester. Struggling with a question on homework or a quiz? He would review it in class, and we were allowed to retake quizzes as many times as needed. Attendance is not mandatory.

Super kind, understanding and FLEXIBLE. Learn how to use StatCrunch, it will SAVE you. Make sure to look through his notes. Gave us multiple attempts on HW (re/take ANYTIME), quizzes, midterm, and final. I took pictures and YouTube, no notes. An A possible, it depends on your effort and time management! Very good if cannot attend in person :-D

We were required to purchase different websites to do work. It was straight forward with reasonable time to do every assignment. However, it was easier to learn through youtube rather than the professor.

This professor is extremely nice. If you were to forget an assignment or fail the assignment, he most likely will extend it till the next week. Same with quizzes. By the end of the class, he will most likely extend all assignments until the last day. So you have as many attempts as needed to pass.

I took jacek over the summer, even though my counselor said not to. It was fully online, but he made it easy with notes on every chapter on Canvas. Plus, he was super understanding when we needed an extension, and I was able to complete most of the assignments the last week to get an A. He's a great prof that gives you multiple tries on everything!

Midway thru SU24 semester I dropped the class with a W. After the class was OVER, he reached out to me and said if I wanted to finish the class, he would make sure the W would get changed on my transcripts! I finished the class with a 75%! And my grade became a C as he said. He has a heart of gold; I've never had a prof care so much about students!

Flexible professor who gives multiple chances to succeed. Use StatCrunch and YouTube - they're more helpful than the textbook. Effort and time management are key for an A. Unstuck study is also a great study aid.

I recommend doing the in person class if you truly want to learn the material. The way he teaches is VERY easy to understand. He's probably one of the best math teachers I ever had. You get multiple retries for the homework and quizzes and test, so the only way you can fail is if you don't try.

This class was really hard at first but this professor is awesome. I got dropped from not doing assignments on time but within a few days from calling him about the situation, he was able to put me back in. He gives lots of opportunities and EXTENSIONS for students to pass the class so if you do not pass it, I honestly would be surprised.
