Very hard, but his buns are nice.

test are hard, but he gives TONS of partial credit. he is hot too!!

Best professor ever! Organized, fair, professional, understands all material well and teaches it well.

Dr.Schott is an excellent professor. He is always willing to help and the material he presents is in a very concise University level manner. I think he is great and I look forward to having another class with him someday.

Very fair class, lectures are boring but at least you'll know what to expect.

I have had Dr. Schott for 3 classes. Stat Theory I and II were very hard, and Categorical Data wasn't too bad. He is a boring lecturer, but is easy to understand and will go out of his way to help students. Is a very fair grader, but you had better study because the material is challenging.

Simply Awesome!

He's a great teacher. He lectures over exactly what you need to know for tests, and his tests are very similar to example problems in the lecture, textbook, and assigned homework. He also reviews briefly before every test and goes over homework questions. The material can be challenging but he makes it very manageable. I highly recommend him!

Challenging class. His lectures are pretty boring but pretty useful. You leave feeling like you did not learn anything but when you do the hw you realize that you did. Do/understand all of the hw and the tests will be fine. Your whole grade is 4 tests at 25% each. No comprehensive final. I always did better on the tests than I originally thought .

He is a wonderful professor. He teaches in a way that is easy to understand, although the content is difficult. Always available with office hours to answer questions, tests are open book and notes, final is not cumulative. If you can understand and do all the recommended problems, you will do fine on the exams.

Statistics: This is a pretty straight forward class. I would reccomend showing up so you know what's going on.. even though it is boring. No extra credit whatsoever, but tests are open note and open book. I'd reccomend him as a professor. He's very good at explaining things, easy to understand very willing to help and accomidate his students.

He was a pretty good teacher. He let us used a formula sheet and our text book on the tests which was helpful. You must do well on the tests because your grade is based on 3 tests and the final. I took the class over the summer and I was pleasently surprised.

Like earlier comments - exams were open book, and you could use a formula sheet. If you do the HW you should get an A. Attendance isn't mandatory, but if you listen in class you'll see that he pretty much tells you what kind of problems will be on the exams. I would definitely take him again.

First of all, keep in mind that 90% of the class will have past tests--there is a big grapevine for this class of past tests and since the tests are very different context-wise than the notes/HW, and the fact that the large amount of ppl with past-tests prevent a curve, I would say it is neccessary to make friends fast and get them. Thats my advise

Attend class, work the homework, and make friends who have already had the class, and you'll do fine.

If you do the homework, you should be fine. He gives you all of the homework the first day. He uses lots of examples and expains things well.

Stats is a hard class for most. Many professors cannot teach it in a way that makes sense. However this professor knows his stuff and can actually answer your questions provide you word them correctly. Prof. Schott uses powerpoints that summarize the chapters in the book. Read your book and do some homework and make a good formula sheet. Take him!

He is a pretty good teacher. He uses powerpoint and uses lots of examples and explains the topics very well. I recommend him for statistics.

Good professor! His tests are fairly easy and he lets you use a formula sheet that you can write anything on. All you need to do is review his notes for the test, I never opened the book. Easy A if you are good at math

I thought his class was pretty easy. I'm not a math person, however if you make a good formula sheet and just go over his notes, you can definitely get an A

Well organized and detailed lectures. Gives plenty of examples to go along with the lesson. Only grades are the 4 tests, and doing the HW is crucial to doing well on the tests, but he offers plenty of time leading up to the test to go over HW problems in class. You will have to work to do well in his class, but he doesn't just throw you overboard.

If you have to take this class, this is the professor to take it with. The rest of them are harder than him. There are 4 tests, all of which you can have a formula sheet for. The questions on his test are similar to the questions that you take notes on in class, so definitely attend class. HW is optional. Recommended.

I would really recommend taking Schott for STAT 2023. This was my second time taking it, and the first time was absolutely HORRIBLE with Uddin. He's notes are simple and to the point. Pay attention to his notes for tests, and make good cheat sheets for the tests! (He allows one sheet of paper for every test and two for the final)

Stat Theory I & II, 2 semester sequence. Each semester there are 4 tests, 25% each. Tests are difficult, and if you bomb one there's no coming back. 1st test of I is easier, gets more difficult from there. You have to study you're butt off for this class. Schott's a good teacher, but his tests are a challenge, even for the strong math students.

This class is great! the info is a bit difficult for some. go to s.i., do the HW with the gta's and you should be FINE! im doing well and i skip most of his classes. his tests are 16 ques. multiple choice. knw ur stuff n he wnt trip u up!

I thought this class would be easy, but it confused me a lot on what formulas to use. If you know which formulas to use in all the situations you're set because you get a formula sheet. Not that bad a class, but still would have liked an A over the B I got. He's a good guy.

This professor is awesome. Clear and to the point teaching. He moves fast, but will stop to go over something over and over if necessary (so ask questions). Tells exactly what will be on exams. Exams straightforward and no tricks (make good formula sheets). Very helpful during office hours. An A is very possible with some effort.

He is very straightforward and you have to go to class to get his notes (no powerpoints on webcourses). I found him very easy and tests were easy if you practiced all the recommended problems on the syllabus. If you have a question, ask. He is good about clarifying and explaining. If you give it some effort you can get an A.

His lectures are great and tests are fairly easy. He definitely does some curving. I calculated my grade to a B, and somehow ended up with an A. Make sure to view tests to see what you miss, they definitely come up in the final again!

Take his class in the summer, it's a MUCH better experience. I took his class twice, & my grade improved a whole letter grade by taking it in the summer. He's much better in smaller classes vs. auditorium classes. In the summer the exams are written vs a scantron so it helps get extra points. GOOD TEACHER! You'll appreciate him & his notes later!!!

Stat Theory 1 and 2. Pretty tough classes. No accent, very clear on problems. Exam questions come from homework and in class examples. Goes word for word by the book, and a little dry but I'd still recommend going. Very nice, but be prepared to be a little bored in his classes. 4 tests, 25% each. No cumulative final.

I had to retake this class because the professor last year had such an accent I could barely understand the class. This guy is CRYSTAL clear and makes the course so EASY to understand. I CANNOT believe it and I am terrible at Statistics. Take his class..

Took this in the summer. Honestly, this class is pretty easy. He's clear and concise. Makes everything easily understandable. He gives you an 8 by 11 piece of paper for exams you can write anything on. I did the homework the night before exams and got A's on all the tests. Super easy,

Great professor. Doesn't crack jokes or play around in class like "cool" teachers do but he teaches you and that what you need out of a math class. Lets you make your own reference sheet for tests and he does no like trick questions. Very helpful and is always prepared to answer any questions. Definately suggested.

Straight forward, lectures are very boring though. All exams open book open notes. His notes are pretty much the best study aid. Do the suggested homework problems for extra practice. Easy to get an A if you put a little bit of time into studying and paying attention in class.

Awesome professor. His lectures are pretty boring but very straightforward and to the point. Easy class if you study your notes and do the suggested homework problems. Try not to make stupid mistakes on the tests since they are only 16Q multiple choice.

Excellent professor. Lectures are succinct, yet information dense. Tests are challenging but reasonable. Professor Schott devotes plenty of time to answering student questions.

Dr. Schott is great. I was forced to take this course, so my interests weren't there, yet I EARNED an A. I'm not a stats major, but Stat theory is a math course. Proofs and derivations make the class easy if you're a math major. He derives everything in class, and proves all results, which is great. His lectures were excellent, and well prepared.

Fair and fun teacher. He's clear, uses power points, and is happy to further explain anything not understood in class, after class or in his office. Hardest part about the class with the small number of questions on the tests, which is the only thing your grade is based on. 15 or 17 a test, and mistakes are easy to make if you're not careful.

This class is not hard, you have to attend every class and take notes. All grade base on the exams, but he allows us to use a note paper for each exam. so just make sure you write all equations and importance on that paper. then you'll be fine.

Your grade is based only on 5 exams. He is straight forward with everything, and always offered to help. The exams weren't that tough, but if you don't go to class, you most likely won't do well. He was funny at times, but a majority of the time, he was just reading the PowerPoint and giving examples and explaining (kinda dry, but good lecturer).

Pretty good teacher. Make sure you go to class; his powerpoints are not posted online. As long as you pay attention in class, take notes and do the homework, the tests are pretty easy.

Its the hard stats and i feel like his class was easier than if i would have taken with someone else. His notes are really good because those examples in the notes are the questions he uses for the tests. Make sure you do really good on all the test because the final is the deciding factor. Do all the HW probs before a test and youre good

Professor Schott does his best, but with 300 students it hard to appeal to everyone's specific needs and different ways of learning. Honestly the hardest part about this class is that the test are so short. They're usually 16-20 questions. so if you don't know how to do one concept from the chapter and there are two questions on it than you fail.

GO TO CLASS! His slides arent posted online and theyre how you learn. RECIPE FOR A: go to class copy slides yada yada, DO THE SUGGESTED HW THE NIGHT BEFORE AN EXAM (MOST ARE ON EXAM DIFFERENT SCENARIOS/ NUMBERS) and have an organized formula sheet. My exam Grades: 100 93.75 93.75 100 Final 92.5. The final was cumulative so make sure to prepare!

His powerpoints are not online, so go to every class so you can get the formulas (I rarely went and got a C) Copy the notes down, and keep an organized notebook, it will help you study for the final. He allows a formula sheet for each test (4 of them). He assigns homework problems but they are just to help you study, he doesn't collect it. Take him

At first he was difficult to understand. However, he takes the time to clarify when students asked. Always respectful and courteous. Tests are exactly like problems from lecture. Doing homework problems helps you get an A on the tests. No quizzes or extra credit.

Grading is 4 tests (with 7-10 questions), each 25 % of final grade; so you will know exactly what you need on the final to pass the class, or if you should drop. Test questions are exactly like exercises from the book, even problems that weren't assigned show up. At least 1 proof is on each test. Schott himself has a stern appearance but he's nice.

You can use an 8.5x11" piece of paper with WHATEVER notes you want on it for every test. His lectures are super clear and his tests are pretty easy with examples exactly like he goes over in class. If you go to class and take good notes, you'll pass with flying colors and never need the textbook.

Prof. Schott was very straightforward in his explanation of the course material and handled questions very well. He would engage the class in asking questions of the material to make sure we were following along. 100% of the grade is test based but they are not terribly difficult. He allows a formula sheet for each exam. The class is HW free! :)

He's very organized and is more than happy to help if you reach out. Stats Theory is tough by nature but I feel that his test were fair. Make sure you study what he goes over in test reviews. ALL OF IT. I can't imagine a better teacher for the course. Mrs. Schott was great too! What a power couple :D

Professor James is great. He cares a lot about his students. I am not good at math and I passed every one of the tests including the class. My honest advice do the homework, study his lectures and go to class you WILL NOT fail his class. He lets you use a formula sheet for every exam and two sheets on the final. I will definitely take him again!

Dr. Schott is very straightforward, and that is awesome! His exams come straight from his notes, but do come to class since he doesn't post these notes online. He's very open to questions during class, and he always gives enough time for everyone to copy down the notes. I wished more professors were like him.

Went to class about half the time and received an A. He does not send you the powerpoints so I would recommend going to class to copy them down because the tests are about the same as the questions in class with different numbers.

Professor Schott is an excellent professor, and is also a fair grader. Make sure you go to class because he doesn't put Power Points online. Make sure you use the textbook to study practice questions in the back of the book. I would happily take another class of his.

Schott is great. Entire class is 4 exams. Gives homework that isn't collected, but youre going to have to work to do well. Exams match the homework problems and his grading is fair. The class is difficult by nature, but he does a good job with teaching and giving the materials to succeed. I would recommend this professor for any math class.

Really wonderful professor. He truly wants you to succeed and will spend time with you if you go to his office hours. He is really patient as well as being knowledgable.

He's a good teacher. Lecture is strictly based on copying his PowerPoint notes; he does not put them online. He gives homework, but not for a grade, but it's a good studying tool. There are only 4 exams and a final. His tests are very similar to the examples he does in class. Study hard and review his examples.

Most straightforward prof ever. Both classes (4321/4322) have 4 tests, about once a month, each worth 25% of your grade. Does derivations and proofs in class, but also homework problems in class. If you attend class a good amount, study the material, do some of the hw, and do well on the tests, you'll pass. Accessible during office hours. Cool dude

Schott is a great teacher. The tests are pretty easy, and don't cover anything he didn't teach. He recommends doing practice problems from the textbook, but they aren't required.

Lectures were super easy to follow, understood everything he said. Was a great teacher with clear expectations. If you go to class youll be prepared for the exams.
