He is the best Stats teacher at UMSL. Register for him early to get him, hard class, but he makes it easy. He is wants everyone to pass, so if you go to class EVERY day, you will!

I got an "A" but didn't learn anything in this class.

Not an easy subject, but Dr. Jamal helps you to understand. Ask questions, go to class, turn in assignments, and you should be okay!

I really like Jamal's class. I didn't do very well in my undergraduate statistics class and he made it seem easy for me.

Jamal is a very nice person and a good instructor. He is also very funny. It is a hard class,but if you study, attend his class and do your project you will pass. He has a great attitude and a beautiful smile too.

I agree with everything already posted (except the negative comment) he is a GREAT teacher. He keeps the class going, despite the boring content. Ten minute review of day before, 45 minutes teaching, ten minute reivew after new content, go home. A++

Totally approachable...makes hard material interesting. Nice set of buns. Go to class and you will pass.

I believe he is great teacher very clear on the subject. He'll work with you on problems but make sure do attend classes. Every single one of them, otherwise you'll be lost. Make sure spend lots time to work on the homework problems.

He obviously has a clear understanding of the subject he is teaching. I am very happy with the way he presents the material, however, his assignments and tests are much more complex than his lectures would lead you to presume. Overall he is good.

Very nice professor, willing to help and makes class fun.

Jamal was one of my best professors. He always tried his very best to help you understand the topics and has a genuine concern for his students.

Very good professor

Good teacher, makes it easy for you to pass. be sure to come to class and he will pass you.

Very nice guy...he really wants to help you. I highly recommend him to anyone who doesnt like stats but wants to do well in it. Very funny guy.

Great Instructor, with a good sense of humor.

Jamal was an excellent professor. If you are willing to learn, he's willing to teach. I recommend him to everyone that have issues with stats.

I loved having Jamal for this class. I really learned alot. He always look's professional (good) and also, smell good.

LOVED his class! He really makes you think during the class. He curves helps you out during the test. He will give you hints whether you answered a question correctly. He is always willing to help you to get a good grade in the class - just show interest in the subject matter and show that you are trying. He smells good too and is funny.

Best teacher

This is a tough course, but come to class every day and you do well. He is more than willing to help if you don't understand. He is evasive about his grading policies (curves, ex. cr., attendance) but it appears he expects you to be in class and turn in homework. The short of it is... go to class.

Very good teacher. I did not know what I was doing in that class and I still passed. Just show up for class and turn in your homework. He is very funny, too.

Never had a teacher like him at UMSL, Very clear, organized, explain very well. don't miss his class

He is the easiest Business Statistics professor at UMSL. He will pass you if you attend class every day and try your best. PLEASE BUY TI83+, believe me, it will pay off. You are allowed to use the graphing calculator on exams, and a cheat-sheet with equations. If you take this class, take it with him, other professors will fail you.

This prof. is awesome. I loved him!

Great prof :-)

He is the best statistics teacher at UMSL. He is very helpful, nice, funny, and oh so fine ;-)Boring subject, but he makes it interesting. Just looking at him for an hour makes it all worth it.

One of the best, if not THE best, b. stats teachers at UMSL. He mostly teaches off of PPT, but he goes over them in class and makes the material much easier to learn and goes around in class to make sure people understand class examples. Very approachable and funny, easier than the others; worth taking on Sat or at night.

Said lots of thigs to us (like that we could use a note card, that the test date was moved back) and then changed his mind at the last minute. Terrible ethics if you ask me. Also, if you want to see the actual paper version of a test you'll have to shake him down for quite a while.

Highly recomended

BEST TEACHER EVER!!!

Makes business statistics very easy to understand. He uses real life examples and is very clear in his explinations. I recomend taking good notes because the tests will be very similar to the notes. Overall He was an awsome teacher and I would def recomend him.

Awesome professor wants and helps you pass the class.

Class time is spent well. Syllabus will change, but I recommend him over any other stats or OM professor.

He really challenges you to think on the exams. OM was much easier than Bus. Stats, overall if you attend class regurlarly, you should do fine. He has a great sense of humor and he's nice looking too.

I took him for Business Stats and Intro to Operations Management... One of the best professors at UMSL...

Jamal is a great teacher! I took him for bus stats and intro to ops mngmt. I ended up passing both classes. He cares about you learning and also has a sense of humor, which makes the class more fun. Definitely take Jamal for these 2 classes! :)

He's awesome. Funny, and keeps it easy.

I took him for Biz stats and Ops Mngt...he was awesome! I attempted biz stats with another professor, and Jamal took the time to ensure each student was up to speed before he moved on.

Instructor makes sure you are keeping pace with a few homework problems each day you need to turn in and a quiz at the beginning of some classes. Neither seemed to count for anything, but kept you on track. For a couple of the tests, sample tests were provided that were extremely helpful for the real tests. Come to class and take notes.

Jamal an outstanding teacher. He will make every effort to help you if your lost. He is sexy, and smells yummy too. I've had him for 2 classes, and hes amazing.

Great instructor! He was extremely helpful, kept the material relevant and wanted his students to succeed.

Possibly the best professor at UMSL. It's easy to tell that he is extremely knowledgeable in his area of expertise. Makes material crystal clear, assigns homework relevant to the exams, and gives students the opportunity to succeed.

Great leader, inspiring and clear with his teaching, will help anyone....oh and he is oh so so so hot!!

He is a good teacher. I hated that he did not let us see our test and he didn't go over the homework or provide answers to the homework. The test were hard compared to what he taught, so don't underestimate him. You have to put in some work and time for this class. He's really funny and helps each individual.

This class is 10x's EASIER than his stats class!!! The test avg probably went up 15 pts per. He is an awesome, funny guy and he knows his stuff.

DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HIM. He is funny and very helpful but his tests are not easy. He will stay after class and answer any questions that you may have. He does not return the exams, quizzes nor homework so it's your job to ask him questions on things you are unsure of. It's not too hard to get a C but anything above that you will have to work for.

If you show you are putting forth effort, you will pass the course. You MUST ask questions if you're lost and he will make sure you understand before continuing class. He is the best teacher for this course. His exams are difficult but he curves the final grades. PAY ATTENTION!

Best stats prof ever! I learned so much!

He is a really great teacher! The class is very easy. He never tells the class this, but he always posts a practice test on my gateway before the exam. USE IT!

This a hard class, and his tests are terrifying, but he truly makes it as easy as possible. He's funny and clearly very knowledgable, and is great about answering questions. Very friendly and willing to work with you. Do all the practice problems he gives you, and do the homework even though it's not for a grade and you'll be fine.

This class is tough. Exams are not easy but, you are allowed to bring a index card with whatever you want on it. Show up to class, take good notes, and study hard for the exams.

He's a really good teacher. He helps when you ask and makes the lectures very interactive. He's definitely the best stats teacher at UMSL. The class isn't easy, because it requires comprehension but it is definitely the BEST option.

Took him for 3320 online over the summer. I highly recommend going that route. I did the HW and test reviews, looked over the power points, and watched the lectures. Assignments were due every Sunday by 6PM and we had 3 tests. As long as you put in a little effort there's no reason you shouldn't get an A or B.

Overall he is a good teacher. He cracks jokes all the time and he does not make the class too hard for the student at all. He would lecture first and let us do some problems and go over them in class. His exam is not hard at all, all multiple choices! If you go to his class and do the problems, and spend 2 hr before exams, you will get a good grade

If you answer a question incorrectly during a lecture, he'll tell you to do 20 pushups in front of the class as a joke. He likes to tease students by telling them to prepare to retake his class next semester if they don't do well on their HW or exams. Good and funny teacher but a challenging class.

Great teacher. Only a few tests and they have a large impact on your grade so make sure to do good on all of them. Really funny teacher.

Great professor that wants you to succeed and makes sure you understand what is going on. Makes class fun and interesting. He is very kind and actually cares if you have a problem in the course.

He was great! His lectures and tests are pretty straight forward. If you show up and turn stuff in on time then you will do fine. I had an issue where I had to take an exam outside of class. He totally forgot even though I talked to him in person and emailed him twice. It was a hassle to get him to send the test to the testing center.

Funny;Passionate about statistics and wants students to be successful; encourages you to ask questions; lectures are slow and you copy a lot from powerpoint that he doesn't post online; allowed a notecard "cheat sheet" for multiple choice tests; Show up, take biweekly quizzes, complete online homework, and you will do well;

He's a great teacher and actually cares about students doing well in his class. The quizzes are for extra credit so don't stress out about them too much, he stops giving out homework towards the end of the semester, and he scales the tests quite fairly. Just make sure to do the practice problems and the class will be an easy A!

Sometimes a little hard to understand.
