Super straight forward, wants you to succeed. Attendance is mandatory but also it helps you learn when you actually show up. Graded on 3 tests, gives you extra credit problems! He does a review and goes over all the exam questions before the test. Such a nice guy!

Great prof, homework is not required but is more often than not extra credit so do it. He really is passionate about statistics and just wants you to succeed. I would take him again.

He is an older professor so he can come off a bit passive aggressive when responding/teaching but he has no ill intent. The majority of the exam questions were multiple choice, there were extra credit points with the homework. He did not use blackboard but would show us our scores on exams the next class.

This is the best math class I've ever taken. It's easy if u pay attention in class and ask questions. If u do good on the two test, you don't have a final. You are allowed a cheat sheet and barely homework and lots of extra credit.

Best stats professor I've had. He is so simple and easy to understand. Exams are clear and curves it based on how students do. Study guide are given before each exam, usually same questions on exams. Extra credit almost every week which helps ur grade a lot if needed.

Graded only on 2 exams and a final and homework is extra credit. Teaches “his way” and not by curriculum. Yells at class and hard to keep up and is all over the place. Wont give out reviews for exams, claims his class is enough of a review. Hard to keep up if you miss one thing. Whatever he posts on BB is all messy. Avoid

If you're quiet or sensitive I wouldn't take him. He comes off abrasive, but I *think* he means well - He's just old. Participate, go to class, do your homework to get the extra credit, put in effort on the project, and write EVERYTHING on your exam cheat sheets. He doesn't use BB so try to keep track of your grade yourself.

Prof Kinsella is channeling but fair. If you have more then three unexcused absences, you will fail. you will learn a lot from him as I did. one of the better profs.

C+ on 1st and A on 2nd test, awaiting final grade. never grades hw so its useless buying the book he has slides. don't miss a class. PLEASE. Do extra credit assignments. stats phrases questions differently so know your terms. 3 tests so every extra credit counts. when he gets heavily engaged, he starts to yell😂 so don't be too worried do ur best.

if you're able to, take stats at a community college, it will be easier. kinsella is a good prof, 3 tests, one project, and multiple extra credit opportunities. don't miss class or you will fall behind. record lectures since he says everything out loud and doesn't write anything down for you to copy. it's doable, just show up & you'll do fine
