Prior to taking Stat, I have to admit that I was freaking out because everyone I knew that took it, said it was hard. Maybe it was the professor they were taking but I'm taking this course with Kris right now and things seem to be going good! I aced my first test, he is very easy going and he makes stat easy to understand. AND he's HOT!!!!

I took statistics with Kristopher. He has a masters in stats so he knows his stuff. He is super smart, super funny and a blast. Stats is hard but he does a great job breaking it down. 5 exams and homework. Don't miss class or you will get behind. Don't buy book, use the online version as you will need statsportal. A+++

Statistics can ruin your life. However, Prof Marcus knows what he's doing. He breaks down the material to make it easier and always offers help. He's generous with grading and definitely curves giving credit for method rather than answer. Weekly hmwk and 5 exams. Attendance not req, but if you miss a class, you'll struggle. Walked away with an A.

I had dropped out Math stats class before due to the Teacher (T. Encheva) was terrible, her class size went from 36 to 9. I was not looking forward to this. Kris was very helpful, explained the material well. If I didn't understand it, he welcomes to ask questions and helps before/after class. Grading is extremely fair. Take Kris's class for this!

Awesome teacher! I was not the best at math but I got an A in his course. His grading method is like this: each question he looks at and says "does this person deserve an A, B, C, D, F for this question". So if you do all the math right and flip a negative sign somewhere on accident your still going to get like 80% credit for that question.

Speaking as someone who had to repeat Calculus 1, I emerged from Mr. Marcus' class with an A.

Kris is an amazing stats professor. He broke down the class into 5 tests, which I think made it easier for us because he didn't pile up all the material into just one test. It's not an easy class, but if you show up, take notes and pay attention, it should be an easy A!

One of the best professor's I've ever had. Do not be scared to take statistics online. The perk is that you can go back and watch the lecture again if needed. He is great at explaining the concepts needed, and very clear exam reviews are given so you know what to expect. If you participate and complete all the homework assignments you'll do great.

I didn't find the lecture videos much different from what was presented in the book, but it's a good idea to skim through them in case he mentions something about the exam.

Professor Marcus is the best! The grade I received was on me, and not him, but the material is very challenging. I taught myself from the book and homework, and did not attend any online lectures or view any lecture videos. I recommend making time to view the online lectures and stay top of the material and don't get behind.

I enjoyed taking Prof. Marcus' online class! He's super funny and class was always entertaining! Homework was due every Friday and was pretty easy. We had a midterm and a final and as long as you do the practice exams you'll be fine! He's a very easy grader! He's available and willing to help outside of class as well! I would recommend this class!

Really enjoyed his class, math is not my strong suit but he made it feel approachable and the lectures were not boring despite being long. I felt that Professor Marcus cared that we learned and the SI was also helpful. He is a generous but fair grader, gives credit for effort and showing work.

Professor Marcus is great - makes stats engaging and understandable. Lectures are helpful, and he grades fairly. Unstuck study was a useful tool for study prep. Definitely take his classes if you can.

It was my first college-level math so I was nervous, but couldn't have asked for a better professor. Engaging, understandable, wants to make sure you understand. Always gave detailed instructions when asked a question via email. Lots of time-consuming hw, but it isn't busy work. Very generous grader. If you put in the work, you'll get an A.

He is a kind of professor every professor should be. He not of those who gives review in exam but prepares you very well. Easy grader and you laugh and couldn't have a better professor than him for the hardest class of my life.

Amazing professor, Only grades homework and tests. You are able to have one piece of paper for study notes while taking your test. Lecture videos, which are not necessary. I would mainly study for the practice exam before I took the test. If I needed more help, I would look at lectures where he goes over practice exams.

AMAZING, kind, wonderful considerate human being. He managed to get someone like me who barely passed Precal and Cal 1, to get 100s on Exams...he's magic. Of course, it's a lot of work for the course but I couldn't recommend him as a professor more.

This professor's teaching methods benefited me as someone who has Dyslexia and ADHD. He gives a 5-minute break in the middle of the lecture to serve as a brain break. As long as you keep up with the homework and show up to class, then study for about 2 hours every day the week before an exam, you should pass with flying colors.

Lectures are recorded and saved. Gives so much partial credit it's kinda crazy, def saved me on the series test. If you genuinely want a nice Calc2 experience, PLS take this professor. Lots of HW, but it prepares you for test since no reviews. Older brother took him and I can understand now why he wanted me to take him so badly. Amazing professor.

4 Exam test worth like 88 percent, math homework 12 percent. Stay on top of assignments, first week is fairly easy but as it progresses it does get harder. You'll start with the simple linear equations and then by the end know how to Evaluate Finite and Infinite Geometric Series. Spend 1-2 hours a day practicing potential exam problems.

I had to withdraw late due to a family tragedy, but Prof. Marcus is the kind of professor students remember years later. HW was due on Thursdays, with the lowest grade dropped. He even said that if 3 test scores were strong, he'd average those instead. I felt awful leaving his class, especially given how much redemption he offers.

He is by far one of the best math professors I have ever had. It's been YEARS since I have taken a math class and I was genuinely worried about not passing. He offers videos and notes of the full lectures if you miss class or prefer to work from home. You can pass! It's just a lot of material that is covered. Keep up with the homework and study!

Professor Marcus was by far the best math professor I ever had. He was very understanding and extremely lenient when it came to grading homework, though he assigned quite a few problems. He posted all his lectures as videos with notes and went through detailed problems in class that were relevant to the homework and tests. Take his class!!!

Normally, I really dislike math. I chose to do statistics since it was the part of math I understood best. Professor Marcus made statistics understandable and he was always willing to help! He made sure you understood how the formulas applied to real life! I do not think I would have done as well in statistics had I not had him as my teacher.

Best math teacher I've ever had. He makes the longgg lectures feel shorter. Be ready to hear his jokes and short anecdotes. There's LOTS of hw but its just to prepare you for the tests. If u want to pass the exams I recommend re-doing a few of the hw assignments and MEMORIZE the formulas for each unit. Great professor, wish he taught Calculus 1 🥲

One of the best Math professors out there! He explains the topics so well, plus the lectures are recorded, so you can watch them later if you can't make it to the meetings. He makes the class super enjoyable through jokes and connects textbook problems to real-life situations. Just make sure to go over the notes, videos, and homework before exams.
