Professors Majeske is an amazing person truthfully. I am in my senior year at OU and have had multiple professors, I can say he is the best professor I've ever had. One of the funniest person I have ever met, and possibly one of the smartest. Exams are just like the notes! Study a bit, go to class, do the HW, you'll get a good grade. Amazing!

Absolutely AWFUL for an online class prof. As a senior, I have never dealt with a worse prof in my whole time at OU. The online course is extremely convoluted, relies solely on Cengage, and does laughably minimal lecturing. If he does respond to emails he offers no help and won't work with you. You will be teaching stats to yourself essentially.
