Allows calculators for everything unlike some profs. Very likable guy.
He is the best math teacher I've ever had. If you do the homework you will do great. Take it from someone who failed this class with another prof. last semester.
he's such a nice guy. always willing to help and wants to make sure that everyone understands what's going on.
i am horrible at math and got an A in his stats class. he explains everything so well, which is very unusual for a math teacher at UWEC. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN
My favorite teacher ever! Very nice guy who cares about every student. He makes sure that you understand the material and is very willing to help you outside of class. TAKE HIM!!
Mr. Pressler is by far the best teacher I have had!! He is the nicest guy and will do whatever he can to make sure you understand the material and is definitely the best math teacher!! Take him!!!!!!!!
Great teacher. Good guy, really understands the students. Strongly suggest taking.
Great guy. Young and energetic. The class itself isn't easy because of all the calculations you have to do, but he makes it kinda fun and interesting. Definately take him for stats if you have the choice.
Presler is fun and easy to understand. He does a lot of interactive stuff which keeps your attention. He also writes on the board a lot which gives you a great view of his tight little butt. TAKE HIM!
Excellent teacher, would highly recommend.
Had him for 110 and 245, very helpful and makes statistics easy to understand. Take him!!!
I've had presler for several classes because he is very helpful and I like his teaching style.
Presler is solid. Teaches all the material really well and is very helpful. Class is very doable if you put in a moderate amount of study time.
Great teacher, explains things well and really gets to know his students! Would recommend!
Really nice guy. The topic is hard, but he is really helpful. Explains things as clear as possible. Definitly take him if you have the chance!!!
Fun and enthusiastic about stats. Cute and funny. Explains things really well, and very helpful. Just do the hw and you will do great on quizzes and tests. They are just like the problems in class, and the hw.
one of the best profs I have had at college, very helpful and enthusiastic, take him if you get the chance
GREAT guy. Very helpful, and really wants students to succeed. Teaches in a way that is very easy to understand, and makes the class go by quickly. Wish I could take him again.
Such a nice guy. Teaching style is a little boring because you just copy whats on the bored. But he's really friendly and likes to make jokes. Definitely recommend him!
Such a great professor! Stats is tricky no matter what, but Presler makes it SO much easier to understand. I'm not the best at math, but had to take this class for my PR major. His teaching style helped me get a high A. If you have to take stats, take it with him!
Very helpful professor, Explains concepts very well, Uses handouts so notes are minimal, VERY highly recommended!!!
Kris is AWESOME! Take him for Stats if possible. He took the time to learn everyones name and is the most approachable professor I have ever had! He is just a genuinely nice person. He is a really outstanding professor!
He is amazing. Take him if you can. I can't say enough about this guy. He is willing to help all of the time and willing to go out of his way to do it. I wish I could take him for every class.
Presler is a great guy! he is very willing to help you and give you the benfit of the doubt if you are assertive and ask questions! I HIGHLY recommend him if you take statistics! he explains difficult topics and makes them very clear. very good.
Kris is the ONLY professor at UWEC that has 100% positive comments. While that should be enough said, I'll continue to say that he was the most helpful professor that I have ever had. He makes Statistics(which I had to drop when I had with Reid) much easier to learn. While it was still challeneging to me, I could have never gotten thru it w/o Kr
He does an excellent job overall teaching this course. I am very bad at probability & he made it so easy to understand. He has group quizzes & homework due almost every week, so my suggestion is be on top of things & make good notecards because it'll save you time preparing for the final.
Great teacher, very personable and helpful. I went to his office multiple times a week for help and he would always drop everything to assist. Very clear when teaching, always willing to clarify. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
AWESOME class, AWESOME Professor! Take Presler cuz U won't regret! All quizzes were in groups so don't fret if U don't understand cuz most likely some1 in the group will know. The group quizzes were what pulled my grade up. The tests were based from in-class notes and group quizzes. MAKE SURE TO GO TO CLASS AND TAKE THOSE NOTES. they'll help a lot!
If you're like me and math isn't your thing this class is tough. Plan to do hw about 1-2 hours every day..if you don't do it you will be lost..and if you skip a class you will really be lost because that happened to me.Excellent prof. though strongly recommend you take him for stats I got a C+
He is awesome. He doesn't mind spending time to explain over and over. If you still do you get it, he will try different to explain until you get it. He is really educated and experienced.
The material is challenging but Presler cares very much that students understand it. He is always available during office hours and makes it a point to cover particularly challenging homework problems in class.
If you don't get a good grade it's not his fault. Awesome guy.
Presler is the man! He is so helpful, knows everyones name, and is a great person! His teaching is very good, and the assignments, homework, and quizzes that are required help so much with learning the material. Great Professor! Take him with no questions asked!!
Unreal teacher. Very helpful. Tests are not extremely hard but they are challenging. He really cares about your success and tosses in a few jokes when he can. Id say best professor at UWEC.
Kris is an amazing professor! He truly cares about students and provides you multiple opportunities to make up lost points. He also throws in a lot of humor which makes the class enjoyable too. I was nervous about taking Stats but he made it so bearable and actually a class I looked forward to! Take it with Kris!
Take him. Stats is hard, but he is really good at teaching it. Office hour is also really helpful if you have more questions. Take him, you'll definitely like him.
This is a very difficult class. Despite that I got a B+ in this class, it has made studying for MFE so much easier. Kris teaches the MFE material better than the ASM manual does, in my opinion.
Professor Presler is a great professor who, as far as math goes, makes the class very clear and simple. The nature of the class is difficult, but Kris really does his best to make things easy to understand. If you go out of your way to ask questions, he will go out of his way to help you. The homework is excessive and not mandatory but very helpful
GREAT GUY. loves to talk about his daughters in class. Very very helpful. Goes at a slow paste so everyone wont get confused but YOU GOTTA STUDY AND DO THE HOMEWORK PRACTICES OR YOU WILL GET LOST. Other than that, you should be fine in his class. GREAT GUY. take him for stats 264
He was by far the best statistics teacher i've ever had. He made a very hard class a lot easier than it was. He makes topics a lot easier. The tests aren't too hard if you understand what each lesson is. Really good teacher. Gives a lot of group quizes (probably one a week). Gives positive reinforcement and makes lectures as fun as it could be.
I wasn't a fan of the group homework, but it did help me step out of my box. All quizes were group quizes, so that was nice unless you get stuck with someone that doesn't do anything. Quizes took the entire hour, and I felt were too long for a quiz. Tests were hard. I wouldn't have done well without the notecard we can use. Final was HARD.
Kris is an awesome professor! The semester consists of homework quizzes, but only couple problems per section so don't worry! also group quizzes (open note) are very helpful in learning! outside group homework was at first frustrating, but really helped me succeed! Exams were tough, but what math ones aren't. you are allowed a notecard which helps!
Kris is a great professor and is ALWAYS willing to help you in class or in office hours! I am not the best at stats, but he made learning it tolerable. There are homework iclicker quizzes, group quizzes, and exams (exams are tough so you will need to study!). Great guy and would definitely recommend
He is a really good teacher and does a lot to make you understand what you're doing. The homework isn't checked so you don't have to do it but you won't know what is going on if you don't. There are lots of in class group quizzes and outside of class group homework. You get a notecard for each of the 4 tests. The class is hard but Presler is cool.
Great professor, really cares about the success of his students. The courses he teaches are naturally very difficult but he does a great job of clarifying the ideas.
Presler is seriously the nicest professor and clearly cares about his job and students. Although the material is tough, he does his best to make it simple! Group quizzes help boost grades because they're open book! Make sure to pay attention in class.
Take him for stats! Such a great person and professor who's much more concerned with you understanding the material than getting a grade. Weekly homework is easy, some group quizzes but he will give you good help if you ask, and offers online make-up exams to boost your exam grade. If stats is required for you take his class and you won't regret it
Presler is an amazing professor who truly does care about his students and wants them to succeed. His lectures are engaging and the note formatting makes it extremely helpful to study along with the additional online quizzes and bookwork. The tests were pretty straight forward and easy and he was frequently available for office hours with questions
Clearly cares about his students and their understanding of the topic, not just what you can memorize for a test.
Kris Presler 's dad jokes make his class worthwhile. Stats is not an easy subject but I thought he taught it well. Exams are hard but the final was a breeze. Lots of opportunities to boost your grade through homework and test remakes.
Presler is a great professor who takes the time necessary to make sure students understand. The course is very test heavy, but he makes the exams worth 80% and has 20% as a rewrite to help your score. Highly recommended!
Since stats is required for my major, I was absolutely dreading it. But Professor Presler honestly makes it as fun as enjoyable as possible. On the first day of class he told us that he would do his best to keep us engaged and interested and he has lived up to that throughout the semester. I HIGHLY recommend taking him if you get the chance.
Literally such a good stats professor. Very very nice and caring. Teaches in a way that makes you want to learn. Does not go too fast through material. Makes sure everyone knows what we are learning! Great Professor!!!
Kris is one of my favorite professors I have ever had. He makes the class really enjoyable with his dad jokes every once in a while. Make sure to do all the homework and practice outside of class. This class can be tough, but if you go to office hours he helps you understand things a lot more.
Nicest guy you'll ever meet, a good professor, but his class is way too hard. Other stats professors wont go nearly as in depth as him and Professor Day go. They'll give out practice exams and reviews for exams, but they wont match the actual exam. If you're looking to just take stats and get out he is NOT the professor to take.
Hard subject, but he is a good professor. If you have to take stats would highly recommend taking statics with him!
Kris is so great. If you have to take stats TAKE KRIS. He is so nice, and even though class is long, it doesn't feel that way. He makes class fun with his jokes. Stats is a tricky subject, but he makes it easier to understand is always there to help. He is genuinely a good person. HIGHLY recommend.
Kris Presler is fantastic. He knows his stuff, and better, he knows how to teach it in a way that's easy to understand. He cares that his students comprehend the material, and he'll give you whatever help you need to succeed. There's no surprise material on the tests, and the main homework is MyStatLab (online), which is pretty straight-forward.
I was so nervous to take STATS since i have never taken a stats related course before. But Presler is THE BEST. He is so understanding and will explain the material over and over until you understand it. He also gives you a plethora of opportunities to improve your grade. TAKE him! He is seriously the greatest and i wish he taught every math class.
Very kind professor who is always friendly. The exams are hard though. Online homework and group quizzes are straightforward. Makes class enjoyable!
Great man, cares about all of his students and is accommodating.
Presler was the best professor I have taken a class with at Eau Claire. He cares about his students and really knows what hes talking about along with how to teach it. I would take him again in a heartbeat. I am not good with math and I recieved an A in his class due to his teaching abilitys and his help outside of class.
Best professor I have ever had! So I got a D in the class and have to retake it for my major. However, Im retaking it with him because hes a great professor. Hes very understanding and reasonable with extensions! I only did bad because of COVID-19. But before switching to online I had a B and was learning a lot! Super fun and nice!! HES THE BEST
Kris is a great professor and an awesome person! He was so helpful and kind when answering questions. He is very understanding because he genuinely cares about helping students understand the material. I had him for the COVID-19 semester and he was great for when I had him in person, and great throughout the whole process of being online.
Presler is a great teacher but being online this class was really tough to learn. Most of the material was watching videos and going through a course packet to learn the material. Weekly assignments. Exams are fairly hard in my opinion. If you can hold off taking Stats when it's not online, I highly recommend it because this class online sucked.
Outstanding professor! One of the nicest people I've ever met. Excellent communicator, mentor, and educator. Wonderful lectures, great humor, and immensely valuable actuarial perspective. Cannot recommend enough.
Prof Presler is fantastic. He made stats a very manageable class. His office hours are so helpful and you can tell he wants us to learn the material and be successful .He is also very approachable if you have questions. I am not usually good at math classes but with his help I was able to receive a good grade in the class.
Prof Presler was such a joy, considering he was my 8 am MWF. He was so nice and checked up on me to see how I was doing. If you HAVE to take Statistics, take it with him. Although, if you hate group quizzes, this isn't the class for you.
Professor Presler is a super considerate and caring teacher. He truly wants to help you learn. He is lighthearted and tries to make the lectures more relatable and easy to understand.
Stats is stats. It wasn't a walk in the park but I was able to get an A because Prof. Presler is such a great guy and makes things understandable. He is so wholesome and funny, and made my 8:30am actually entertaining. Definitely take him if you have the chance.
Kris is a really cool guy. He knows stats is hard and tries to lighten the mood with little stories. He respects his students a lot and knows we have places to be so won't make you stay late or waste your time. I ended up skipping this class quite a bit just because I thought lectures were easy, but it ended up hurting my grade a bit.
I really enjoyed stats with Kris. I went into the class wanting to die because I really suck at statistics, but Kris made the class very fun and the material easy to understand. He does his best to reexplain ideas when no one knows what is going on. If I ever had to take a stats class again (thank god I don't.) I would 100% take it with Kris.
Incredible professor! I am awful at math, but he made everything very clear and was always happy to help. He gives group quizzes and 3 exams and there is usually homework at least twice a week.
Would take every math class with him if I could. Tries to make class engaging and adds fun stories and jokes. Showing up for class is important. He always answers questions and helps you through the homework if you ask. If you go to class, pay attention, and work hard outside of class you should do well. Overall, great professor.
The best professor I've ever had. He genuinely cares about all students and wants to help you learn. You get a note sheet for exams and the final (cumulative). Homework is online with multiple attempts for each one. If you don't like your exam score, you can take an "optional exam" to help your grade. It never hurts it. Take his class if you can!
An absolutely wonderful person and teacher. Every class with this man was a gift. His humor and compassion is unmatched. He does his best to help you if you reach out both in and outside of class.100/10 person and 100/10 professor.
Presler is a great stats professor. He gives out daily canvas HW but it has multiple attempts and you can ask for help. He also gives out a follow-up optional exam after each exam so that it can improve your actual exam. He gives out group quizzes and many easy extra credit opportunities. He is also very funny during class lectures.
He is so awesome! Is very funny and wants you to succeed. Made statistics fun. Just ask questions and he is more than happy to answer. Highly recommend, please take this with him.
Professor Presler was just terrific. He was kind, caring, and knowledgeable. We had group quizzes that helped a lot in our understanding of the material. Presler was helpful anytime we had a question for him and he was more than happy to help or meet outside of class, all it takes is an email! I would absolutely take another one of his classes.
He is probably the best professor at this university. I went to his office hours, and it was so useful every time. He is the sweetest person ever, and I would make him a cake if I could. He will never make you feel stupid and explains everything so well.
very nice and awesome professor. group quizzes every week with randomly assigned people but they're not too hard if you do the homework. 2/3 homework assignments every week. you can have a cheat sheet with the exam. he's really cool and wants you to succeed. offers lots of resources to help people succeed.
Kris is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone
Kris was the best professor I had this semester. Not only is he great at teaching, he is also incredibly understanding and compassionate. He truly wants all his students to succeed, and gives us more than enough opportunities to ask questions and get extra credit. He knew the name of each student in my 90-person class and gives 100% every class.
