Professor Cheema makes BUS210 very understandable. His lectures are straight forward with lots of examples done in class. Any basic statistics book can be used for class. He gives sample tests to practice on that very similar to the tests. He is always willing to go over the problems and wants everyone to understand the material.

This professor is great at explaining the material in class. His exams are based on what he goes over in class so a textbook is not needed. He gives sample problems before exams and goes over them to make sure you understand the material. He is always willing to explain things if you dont understand. 3 exams and many small quizzes take home online.

I don't like him as much as others do. All "assignments" are on Blackboard which are actually tests. Unlike other assignment systems that allows mutiple attempts and gives explanation, the questions are graded at the first attempt. To me it's not very fair. Repeats the same easy superficial materials in class many times, but exams are much harder.

Cheema was great! Didn't take attendance, but the lecture material was probably easier to follow than the book. He suggests using the book as a complement to the lectures, but if you plan on going to class, don't bother buying the book. He gave sample exams out before the exams and the format of the samples were identical to the exams.

Cheema's class is more based on statistics than Excel skills. The lectures are very dry but Cheema always ends the class early. As long as you follow his examples, you will be able to complete the homework fine. His sample exams look exactly like the actual exam except minor changes such as the numbers. Make sure how to do them to get A's.

Cheema is probably the best professor for BUS 210, at least in terms of getting a solid foundation for 310, which is a continuation of the course. The exams are heavily based on the practice exams, no surprises. Reviews material too. You get ONE attempt at the homeworks, which is a big chunk off your grade. Still worth taking him if possible.

The professor is awesome, but the lectures are hard to pay attention and follow. Attendance is not mandatory, but you are responsible for catching on the videos he posts. He curves 3 exams at the end and offers extra credit, in which isn't enough. This course seems excel heavy, i suggest find a different professor.

I don't know why this course seems to be excel heavy. It's hard to pay attention and study for the tests. He gives extra credit. All of the hws and exams are hard, they are not from the sample exams and he rephrases them. If you are an excel person, then this is the class for you.

Professor Cheema is a really nice person and gives you a favor if you ask him. However, his class was harder than I thought it would be. You really have to work hard for your grade. I thought I was gonna fail this class and ended up with a B. All in all, Professor Cheema is a decent professor.

If you are business analytics major, then this is the class for you. This class is mostly focused on excel and whiteboard lectures. Exams and quizzes including extra credit are hard, He does offer extra credit, but it goes up by 2%. At the end of the semester, he does the curve on all 3 exams. Please avoid this course!!!

He does not explain things well. I studied either from Google or self-devoted hours of research. I absolutely detest how his exams included things that were not even taught in class. Horribly unorganized on his material. I think he could use a lot more extra credit for covering his shortcomings. I watched his lectures 100s of times but in vain.

Taking his course was absolutely the worst!!! His lectures are difficult to follow, especially watching his videos. In which they are time consuming. Tests and quizzes are hard. He gives sample exams, but the questions are not on the tests when taking it. He gives extra credit, it's also hard. Now I have to retake it this fall. Ugh!!!!

Helpful, approachable, and nice professor. Started off rough in class but Cheema is there if you need help and is quick to respond to emails. He definitely gives you the ability to fix any low grades, get help, and improve. Has homework, quizzes, and three exams including the final. Videos and test reviews are also very useful and thorough!

If you want to get a good grade, you must put in a lot of work. His lectures are long and not that helpful. I will say he is a very nice man who responds to emails quick and helps you with the homework. The three exams were long and not a lot of time was given.

Replies quickly to emails. Lectures are kind of boring because he rambles on FOREVER, but attendance isn't mandatory. He posts lectures on blackboard anyways. Open-note exams. A few short homework assignments every week. DON'T buy the textbook because he doesn't use it. Easy class with a chill and caring professor.

Professor Cheema is the best professor I had at GMU. Attendance is not mandatory but important. He truly has a gift in educating because he is able to explain fairly difficult concepts in very simple terms. If you take good notes and pay attention in his class, the exams and quizzes are pretty easy because he explains everything in detail.

Weekly hw that's similar to sample questions he goes over in class. Material can be confusing but he tries to explain it thoroughly. If you still don't understand, watch his video lectures. Attendance isn't mandatory but going in person helped me. 3 exams (mcqs & excel) which he reviews with similar questions. Expecting an A or B.

He is very knowledgeable, but his lectures are very dry. He talks for 3h straight w/ no student engagement, which gets very tiresome. His exams were a little tricky and felt more difficult than what we were learning in class, but he did go over sample exams which helped. HW's due every week but other than that he did not give any extra projects.

He has free textbook replacements; don't buy the "required" textbooks. He's accessible outside of class, and VERY helpful with his feedback. His lectures seem tedious if you are math-inclined (he fills the 3-hours), but if you struggle with math or prefer in-depth lectures, he's amazing! Pre-recorded lectures are uploaded on blackboard too.

Professor Cheema is in my top 2 favorite professors. He provides every resource available, is patient, and passionate about assisting you with understanding the topic. Spent time on the text book that failed to convey a concept that Professor Cheema is capable of explaining in a fraction of the time. I strongly recommend taking any of his courses.

Took him for 210 and 310 that's how good he is. Open note exams, free textbook resources, hates the idea of you having to buy anything for class so free resources. Has recorded lectures regardless of online or inperson class. Does a good job explaining things 10/10.

Agree with the last review and also took him for 210 & 310! He's great and while his lects can be repetitive/fast (rarely), it helps instill content. You can have any sort of physical notes during exams which can include the sample questions, a reflection of the actual exam. I enjoyed his class and may consider changing my concentration bc of him.

Prof. Cheema was a chill guy. He replied to email in a timely manner. He was very flexible with exams between taking them in person or online. He gave optional extra credits that counted towards the overall grade. He had online recording lecture videos as well. The exams were easy overall. This class didn't have any group projects and presentations

HATED THIS COURSE b/c of him, tests were take home but SUPER difficult. I struggled to pay attention, talked to fast, never received breaks in class, homework every week was not terrible but took days to figure out simple answers. If you are calculus-minded, this stats class will be difficult. Would have failed this course if I had not dedicate ton

I honestly loved this professor. He provided pdfs of the textbook and had sample materials for the hw and tests. The exams were times, but it was not bad at all they were always in two parts and not worth that much. Missing a few questions on the hw brings your grade down. You could also start the exam, leave the page, and go back. He was great!

Professor Cheema is an amazing professor who is responsive, understanding, and easy to connect with. He grades by weekly homework, 3 exams (2 mid-terms and 1 final which are open-note!), and extra credit opportunities. I am taking him next semester for Bus 310, so I highly recommend him!

This professor just rambles in class; his teaching style is not effective at all. The exams are open note, which shouldn't have been a problem. For some reason, his study guides are starting to be different from the exams; he makes it way harder for some reason. I wouldn't reccomend taking this professor.
