Very helpful, always helps with homeward before every class, tests only what he thought and his final exam review is very clear. Jon in very funny and an interesting teacher, I'd definitely take his following course if that would be required. Homework is graded but he helps with it online, in person and before class so no prob with that. Take him.

By far one of the most engaging professors I've ever had. I actually WANTED to get up for my 4 hour Saturday morning Stats class. He incorporated a sense of humor into his teachings and often called himself a nerd for his love of video games, comic books, etc. He made statistics something easy for me to grasp and understand.

Jonathan Wherry is an excellent instructor. He makes math easy to understand and handle. He is always happy and ready to help. He is very patient. He always gives feedback quickly with very clear and systematic explanations. What he teaches has exceeded my expectations. I strongly recommend someone who want to take math choose Jon's class.

Stats is a very challenging subject for me but Prof Wherry is the greatest. He really breaks things down and uses examples anyone can understand. The homework is light and feedback is great. He is flexible and caring and just genuinely there to help everyone pass his class. It's hard to find a teacher like him.

RUN the other way!! Only a select few showed up for the final... THE REST DROPPED THE CLASS. Says a lot abt an instructor. Jonathan has no concept of remote teaching and will harass you abt time spent in D2L that is not accurate. Do urself a favor and protect your mental health.

Wherry definitely has great reviews, however, be aware that his teaching style may not be for you. His recorded lecture video are slow and a pain to get through. He goes over homework the next class, but no answer key. Test reviews do NOT help the exam, but they help the quizzes. He's a very nice guy, but learning styles vary. Don't be fooled.

Such an amazing professor! I hadn't taken stats in 7 years, and I was nervous to take stats 2. I struggled, but he was willing to help, and I worked my ass off and got a B-! Lots of hw, but it really helps you learn the material. I'd recommend his class because he cares about the success of his students.

I took Math 243 in person, and it was a really good experience! Mr. Wherry is quick to respond to emails and wants students to pass. You're allowed a 3 by 5 card for exams and finals, and there are also many opportunities to earn extra credit, so make sure to do that!

I couldn't have asked for a better professor for stats. I came in with zero knowledge of this topic, and at the end felt prepared for the final exam. A lot of studying, but professor Wherry made you feel like this class was a team effort between you and him.He was always there to give feedback and respond timely to emails. He was very supportive!

Jon is nice but the lectures are painfully slow and I feel like he treats his students like he's teaching a 5 year old. Its honestly kind of degrading. He has online lectures and then goes over the same material in class. This style might be good for some people but for me it was painfully slow and boring.

best math teacher I ever had period! made me feel like it was possible to pass his class. I don't leave reviews but I had to because he actually cares if you make an effort. I have struggled with math all throughout college and this class made me feel comfortable with learning. Make an effort, do the work (which isn't a lot IMO) and you'll do great

He is INCREDIBLE! Best teacher I've ever had. I've always struggled with math and he would meet with me outside of class. Graded assignments fats, my final was graded overnight. Responds to emails quickly, and his lectures are good. I cannot recommend him enough. If you can find a spot in his class, take it, you won't regret it.

Was very flexible with due dates. Every week you have a quiz (unlimited attempts), lecture (1-2 hrs), and worksheet to complete. Exam 1 isn't proctored but the other 2 are and you can have a flashcard during the exam with formulas. He is super nice and understanding, take his class if you like cats :)

Absolutely loved taking MTH244 with Prof. Wherry. His online lectures are very applicable to the homework and tests and he displays the information in a very relatable and digestible way. Very accessible outside of class to help you understand whatever you're missing. Very accommodating of different learning styles. 10/10!

Jon was fantastic! His lectures were extremely detailed and organized, and homework assignments were quite fun! Workload was not very heavy. Great feedback on assignments/quizzes. Go to his office hours if you ever have questions- he is more than happy to help. I am not good at math but I understood the material so well. He clearly cares a lot.

Jon is genuinely one of the best math teachers that I have ever had. He takes things slow, loves to answer questions and makes it easy to learn. He really wants every student to succeed and will accommodate your needs. If you put in the work (especially with the extra credit assignments), it is impossible to fail. 10/10.

I can't even think of a good enough compliment for this professor- very caring, quick to respond to emails, accessible outside of class, lectures are at a good pace. Would definitely recommend. Fair warning, the midterm and final exam combined account for 50% of your grade for the class.
