this guy is funny! he read someones notes from another class, it was hilarious! very good teacher. if you ACE both test, you don't have ta take the final!!! 80% is an A!!!!

He is a wonderful teacher. I had a him when I was freshman at CSUN. he has take home practice exams, practice those exams they are helpful.

He was more than fair and gave abundantly of his time to help anyone who wanted to learn. He cares about his students understanding of the subject matter and will continue to clarify until you understand.

hard class but he keeps it interest with good explainations and off the topic jokes. fun class, fun prof, just gotta put some study time in to read the book to understand.

If you need statistics but HATE math and are horrible in it, take this teacher. The material isn't easy but he is sooooo leinent and curves ridiculously!!!!!! Just go to every class b/c he takes roll seriously and do all the HW. If you do that you're good to go! I HIGHLY recommend him!!!!!!

By far one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. The calculator is a ridiculous price.. the bool alone was expensive. Although, the teacher is overall helpfull and has Senfeld-esque off-the-wall jokes that in py oppinion- is funny.

Nice guy. Lots of homework, tests kind of hard, but he explains everything clearly. Not the most exciting teacher, but solid.

Negative: Tendency to inform extraneous information (you'll know what I mean). Ridiculous price of calculator; can be direct and blunt (you'll know what I mean). Postives:DON'T need to buy book if you have access to problems. Sometimes humorous; tries to reduce class time often. Exams are straight-forward! Mixed: winks a lot. Conclusion: Good Luck!

He gives out previous semester tests, so you know what to study. There is a lots of homework and INSTANT INSANITY program for 40 cubes. I believe he is better choice compare to Henderson. He curves and as long as you get 50% of the material, he lets you pass. It is a LOT OF WORK.

2 midterms which are 90% exactly from the practice test. Seriously, word 4 word and number 4 number. Pass those 2 with an average of 75% and ur done with an A, no final. If u cant average 75% must take the final which is the two midterms put together. 5 group homeworks. Each person does 4 problems and you're done. All calculator no actual math. EZ

Make sure you attend all of the lectures or else you WILL be lost. Also be prepared to spend the $175 on the calc. Otherwise just study it's difficult curriculum and he explains it very well, he's one of the best

He is a great professor i was worried about taking statistics because of things friends said, but he is great. His desire is to see you learn and he makes it possible to understand a very complicated subject. He is a fantastic professor. The class is based off the TI89 calc.

Real nice professor. The only catch to his class is buying the expensive calculator. Show up, do the homework and pass his tests and you'll get a REAL GOOD grade

this is and easy class. Buy the calc (even though it's expensive) and go to all the classes. He posts the notes online and the tests are based of practice tests. highly recommended. and he's funny. Easy A. Do all the hw and learn how to use the calc and you'll be fine. :)

exceptional teacher. those who say otherwise are using him as a scapegoat for their inability to grasp the material. he is understanding, fair, and methodical when covering information in class, as well as assigning grades. one of the most enjoyable professors i've ever come into contact with. definitely an excellent choice to take!

Makes simple ideas more complicated, so you have to work hard. However, you know what to expect from tests. Program the heck out of your calculator !

He is the buffest math professor I have ever seen. He is also the most friendly. Overall, I love his teaching style. I never found him confusing. The material is tough, but if you're willing to take the time to ask questions (during office hours or in class), you'll do fine. Be prepared to spend a lot of time on this class.

I swear to god there are so many whiners at CSUN. Dr. Dye gives you supplementary excercises before each exam and selects directly from them for the exams (including the final). How much more straight forward do you want your exams? He makes very complicated topics very approachable. Excellent Professor. Would take again in a heart beat.

Dont get me wrong this class u have 2 study 4 but Dye is so good about helping his students. He gives several practice exams and he doesn't mind answering questions. If you do well on the first two exams you do not have to take the final which is pretty cool.The only thing is u have 2 buy the calculator which is $150 bucks,Great guy

Dye genuinely wants his students to succeed, but YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK. There is a lot of homework, but you can do it in groups. The practice tests are good guides, but you can't rely just on them. His grading scale is generous. I am math phobic and was able to score high enough between both tests (80 average between the 2) to skip the final.

This class is hard but he is wonderful. He does everything to help his students. Professor Dye is a very good person and wonderful teacher. Don't afraid of calculator TI -89, which you are going to use. Just follow his instructions and his lectures. At the beginning I had the calculator phobia but later on it's gone. I like him a lot.

this class is very hard but he is a very good teacher and a great person. take him and learn a lot.

class is hard but don't panic, pay attention . he is really wonderful teacher and a great guy, believe me if you would pay attention and do your work, you will pass. he is really good.

the subject itself is not ez but the teacher lays it down! I love Dye! Hes smart and hot! good reason to show up to stats class!he made learning so much fun TAKE him ull love him!

just go to every class. pay attention. do the homework. you do have to buy an expensive calculator. he gives you quizzes that he has given before and lets you study off them. the problems are the same he changes the numbers or rewords them up a bit. you dont have to take the final if you get good grades on the midterm. Awesome professor!take him!

Dye is awesome and always willing to help you out. He even offered to go over my final with me almost a semester later! Do all your work, ask questions, learn your calculator, and you'll be just fine. He makes stats painless and simple - even my genius father was shocked I passed ststs the first time (he didn't).

Honestly: Dye is a great guy, very passionate and asthetically caring. All classwork and some HW problems are asked on the test, make sure you save them on that $$$ calculator. Does go off topic a lot but it makes class content a little easier to take in. I would recommend him. If you don't understand material, ASK! Learn all calculator functions!!

He is more difficult than he may seem at first, but he is very helpful and really cares about students doing well. He does require an expensive calculator, but all in all, I would recommend him.

He is a very nice, approachable guy who cares about his students. BUT-If he asks if u want to take a 15 min break in the middle or cut the class 15 min short, just TAKE the break. It LITERALLY takes 30 min 2 go over a problem that would take 5 min if he didn't get SO sidetracked. & since he still has more lesson, u end up staying to the end anyway

This professor is awesome. He responds to his email very quicky. He expains very well, if people make an attempt to listen. The topic is not that hard and he great at what he does. Totally recommend.

Hotty! Hotty! Hotty! Gives lots of help if you want it. Best to be serious about the learning process. Expect to spend lots of time on the course material. I would take him again!;)

Fun teacher, Tend's to reuse material from advanced classes. Hopefully he does not curve to the extent a 30% in the class is passing. If it is so, i wonder if my degree will be degraded by everyone else...

I would recommend this class..but take STATS with this professor ONLINE..you wont regret it and you will pass the class?trust me..im not the best math person in the world and I got a B out of the class..but if I would have tried I know i would have gotten an A..you have plenty of time to complete your quizzes and tests and homework..but yah if ur g

Def. take this class online?like the person said below..u wont regret it..i am not the best math person and I managed to get a B+ in the class and I only took it once?STATS is a hard subject and if you take him online you will pass the first time and with a good grade?I would recommend study groups that helps a lot..the down side is that he doesn?t

A *wink* to the genius who gets it

Great professor. I took his class online. If you improve, he will give u a better grade. I did horrible on quizzes but did well on final so he gave me an A. 5 hw packets about 20 problem each, 10 quizzes, 3 tests

Plain and simple math is not my thing. Got a c in the class. Good online class though. The professor and his aides seem kinda rude but overall the class structure is good and glad I used the online textbook extensively for what I paid.

This was a hard class. I would recommend getting the book early and reading it. It is not possible for the professor to cover everything, because there is so much to learn. Contrary to how most feel, I think John Dye is a great professor.

This is a hard class, maybe the hardest class in the CS major; it is also really important for getting a good tech job at top-notch companies. Professor Dye does a great job teaching it. Having taken his class, I managed to get a job at a world-renowned company. I had to talk algorithms during my interview and thanks to Dye, I knew what to say.

This is THE HARDEST class that you will face through your comp science major. Be prepared.With Dye, there is no room for slackers nor for lazy minds.Work hard and show that you are putting enough time to grasp the subject and the professor will encourage you. He is available during office hours so make sure you go there if you have questions.

This class is really hard, but if your a CS major, this is the class where you're going to be fine tuned in CS and algorithms, so you really need to know this. I would recommend going to the MIT website and watching the lectures related to the topic you're on, because this class is taught on the same level as MIT (which is really great thing).

Take this class for an easy A! I took this class online and found almost all the assignments online so I just copied and pasted the answers. You need a 55% for a C and a 75% for an A so if you cant pass this class you are an idiot! He is so easy! Only problem is he doesnt return emails, but who cares if you get to take an easy class!

Hey! if anyone reads this can you guys tell me more about how Math 140 is please I am taking it online because I dnt wana take it in class! I am okay in math! How are the tests or quizes or hw. Thank you guys!

Difficult subject, but he is more than willing to take the time to explain it -- ask if you don't understand! Attend class, download ALL his material from previous classes (moodle) and study the material and examples. Do read his notes and review ALL the work from previous semesters (yes I typed that twice on purpose). Ask for help, he is nice.

I didn't think I would like this class much going into it, but Prof. Dye is the man! He makes learning this subject interesting and fun. The class content so far is difficult but I seem to be getting the hang of it. The first test is coming up and he has done an excellent job preparing us for it.

Funny guy with lots of odd stories to tell. Teaching wise, he is a bit iffy. Prof Dye, knows his stuff there is no denying that, but often he is unclear in his lectures. Study all his old exams and you'll do fine. Only need 70% to get an A in the class.

I am currently taking this class online and although it's stats, the professor and the textbook do a great job explaining things. Grades are posted up after every entry. Easy class to keep up with. Even though it's online, you always have help from students and the professor. I would recommend both the class and teacher.Just be careful rounding.

Study past exams and you should be fine. Helps you get an A if you try hard.

Moodle is helpful.

Statistics is a hard class in general, so if you've never taken it before, I don't recommend taking it online. If you need help, he is always available and helpful in office hours. The class itself is very structured and he grades on a very generous curve! I would recommend him!

It's not free A by default. As you all may know he is a really tough grader:rarely gives partial credits unless mistakes are really minor. But in his 320 class, your grade is base on 3 mid-terms and 1 finals., and if you get 75% or above A. Make sure you understand all the examples he shows in class and check csun emails a night or 2 before exams

As long as you pay attention in class and take notes on what he wants you to know, you will be 100% ready for the tests. Good grading scale, always there at office hours, and responds to emails. He enjoys teaching the subject and honestly tries to make it fun, enjoyable, and actually applicable to real life problems/jobs.

Essentially Dye is teaching you how to think instead of giving you a direct answer. He always pretends he doesn't remember stuff and needs help from class but in fact he is trying to make you think as hard as you can. Really cool guy overall. But you will get rekt pretty hard if you drop your guard in this class.

He is very nice guy and knowledgeable, I took math 482 on summer and it was fine for me and most of student in class

He tends to rabbit trail/jump around topics, so you'll need to make sure your notes are better organized than his lectures. However, if you do that, you'll find that he goes over everything he wants you to know in lecture. He makes many old exams available, and gives an overview of the questions on each exam, so there's never any surprises.

I took his online stats class and it was hard because it was stats. online. not because of him. Whenever I did see him for midterms or the final he was really nice and genuinely wants to see his students succeed. 75% and up is an A which is very lenient

I really liked the professor, he always answered questions on the online forums. This class was hard because it's online and it can get confusing if you don't do a good reading of the chapter. The 2 midterms are online in a computer lab and are open book and the final is the common final on paper. You have 3 chances to do the homework.

Professor Dye is an amazing person and very approachable. There is a generous curve of 75+ ( A ) & 81+ (A+). Midterms weren't bad at all, 40 easy MC questions . Just do the chapter readings, know how to use a Ti-83/84 and you'll be set. GL

Hes really nice only met him once since I had online course, answers emails right away, easy exams if you do the quizzes before the exams most of the questions are from there.

I really like this professor. Tests are very hard and stressful but he provides back exams and study guides. If you put your time in, you'll do fine. If you don't do fine, he offers extra credit to boost your grade. Take good notes in class. Much of the material is not in the textbook. Wants you to learn heuristically. Scattered lectures.

I took his online class which was of course hard because its stats but if you put in the work you will pass. The good thing is that his grading system is VERY curved you need at 75+ to pass with an A like whaaa but overall good teacher.

Professor Dye is such sweet and understanding man; it's very hard to come across professors like this. He is encouraging to all of the students to pass this class. Just like any other class, invest your time and you'll get what you want. Stats online requires double work since you are basically teaching yourself with Prof. Dye notes as guidance.

Professor's teaching style is unique. He treats students as math-mature so you might get the grad-level course vibes. He relates things to real-life examples very well, which makes the class entertaining. He gives a lot of ungraded homework and will help with it. He is very approachable so ask him if you don't understand. Came unprepared sometimes.

Prof. Dye is a very nice man. Homework was optional, but recommended as well as looking at old tests he provides. Exams had no surprises, know the study material and you'll ace everything. He tends to go on tangents a lot though. And would often mess up in lectures (more towards the end when things got more difficult). Overall, would recommend.

I love his chaotic energy and engaging lectures. Urges you to figure things out by yourself instead of just giving the answer right away. A very heuristic way of teaching. He's not everyone's cup of tea, but by far and away probably one of my favorite professors ever.

Prof. Dye's class was certainly unique; It felt like a puzzles class where he wouldn't give you the answer, so you go out of your way to find the answer. That's the key to this class. He posts all his previous exams and his keys, so practice on those 1 month before the exam. It is very easy to score a 100 if you put in the effort.

Probability is one of the hardest math classes at CSUN. John Dye doesn't collect homework and you're likely to get between 40-60 on his exams. But you'll also likely get a C if you hang until the end.

The class had 3 midterms and a final. You can opt-out from the final exam if you have more than 85% on all 3 midterms. He has a list of math he solves and the exam is mostly likely to be based on the given list of problems. If you want an easy A just practice the given list of problems.

Prof. Dye's classes are like puzzles - you have to put in the effort to find the answers. But with his practice exams and helpful grading scale, an A is very doable if you stay engaged. I also found unstuck ai useful for test prep.

I took Professor Dye for Calc 1 last Summer and he's a really nice guy. He made getting an A a 70% or higher, so he's an easy grader. But my MAIN complaint is that many times he goes on tangents and goes off-topic often. So many times it's very difficult to follow along. I don't think he's a bad teacher, but also not the best. But I recommend him
