The subject matter of this class is a little confusing, but he is an extremely clear and helpful prof, he makes sure that if you dont undersand something, you can always get one on one help until you do. He is really entertaining in class and keeps class from being boring (because stats normally wouldn't be all that exciting) Plus he is ridiculously hot, so I always make sureI go to class!

This guy's class was a pretty big joke. All i did was go to class take notes and talk throughout all of that and not listen. Tests are pretty easy, mostly multiple choice on defs and problems and then a couple real math problems. Take this class and get an easy A or B with minimal to no studying.
