Though he seems to have the student's interest in mind, he is very confusing and inconsistent. He lacks proper communication skills and changes his mind about assignments and due dates frequently.

This professor means well but his class is very disorganized. Assignment due dates frequently change and he isn't very accessible outside of lecture. His lectures get a little preachy and he tends to go off topic a lot. The only reason I survived this class was that I read the textbook and I snuck into another professor's lecture.

While Dr. Adepoju is a nice person, he is not a great professor. He tries to be flexible, but that makes the class super unorganized and confusing. Though it got better as the semester went on, he sometimes taught things beyond the course level (which did not appear on exams, making confusions only) and even mistaught some easy concepts.

Kazeem was an AMAZING professor, probably one of the best I've ever had! It is extremely clear that he cares deeply about teaching, his students, and statistics. His passion for the subject made every class a statistical party! My one complaint is that sometimes he was hard to get ahold of outside of class, but other than that he is awesome.

Terrible professor. When explaining stuff, constantly repeats the question and irrelevant concepts without actually solving the question, then suddenly gives the answer. Spend 50 minutes explaining something that takes 10 minutes. Very bad accent, difficult to understand. Do not accept any sort of feedback either. Just don't take his class.

The difficulty of the exam is average, it is not easy to get an A, but it is easy to get a B+ or A-. If you want to get easy A, don't use him at 4051, try to take him at 3000level.
