Best teacher i have ever had. I don't like math, but he made it fun. He showed how stats can be used in everday life. It was an easy class, only if you did what he asked of you.
Wonderful class I HATE math and he made it really fun.
This class is tough. In fact I dropped it today. His curving the grade sucks. I studied and saw him many times to try to understand the stuff and still had to withdraw. I wont take him again. His office hours suck. Hes funny put the jokes get old real quick. He confused the**** out of me.
He is an excellent teacher. His lectures are very interesting and he has a great sense of humor. He does what needs to be done in order to keep you attentive and learning. If you need or want to take Business Stats I, I recommend you take it with Dummeldinger.
he's a really funny guy & will make this math class enjoyable. the tests dont seem hard but they get so confusing u never know what u get right or wrong. there are so many questions with answers that u dont know if they are correct. great teacher but really confusing tests. if u study and if ur lucky u do well :)
Awesome prof. Likes what he teaches, and does it well. Makes jokes, talks about most everything. funny man, and hot too!
Excellent techer. Explains the material in depth and his lecures are not boring. He makes class interesting and has a good personality. If you study for the tests they are pretty easy.
Gives great notes. Those are all you really need to pass the exams. Makes jokes all the time. Has reviews before exams and there are practice exams available. Overall pretty good teacher.
He is a great professor. He will help you on whatever you need, even at 8:00 in the morning. As long as you study and get help you will do fine. He is cute.
He is really funny, which makes statistics a little less boring. All you need is his notes. He's a great teacher. I don't understand anything from the book, but he makes it easy, and he's not bad to look at either.
I have never had a better teacher. Most teachers I do not give my full attention to but he makes the class fun, especially when he tells jokes, which he does a lot, funny guy.
GOOD TEACHER! DEFINETLY TAKE HIM.
Boring material but this guy somehow makes it extremely enjoyable to go to class. His jokes are hilarious and make the material memorable. If you go to class and take notes, you just need to spend some time reviewing the notes before the tests and you will pass. He is also always available to help with any problems you have.
EXCELLENT TEACHER. I would reccomend him for any class!
Best professor. Makes class fun and barable. I've gotten Cs in every math class I have every taken except this one...I got an easy A. I can't recommend him enough!
He may be a very entertaining professor, but do not rely ONLY on his notes!! You have to do the homework and I personally suggest reading the textbook!! His tests are difficult because the point distribution is unfair--exach question is worth 4 points on a 25 question exam! Do the math!! IMPOSSIBLE!!!
He's definitely a nice and funny guy but his class and lecture didn't click with me. He went fast and covered material we didn't need for test. He is probably the best stats teacher for qmb 2100 but that's probably not saying much. The test are hard and very tricky. Don't bother learning how to do all the formulas it's all about interpretations
Very laid back, nice, funny guy who knows about stats and also how to communicate. Would probably be even better if classes weren't so short for this subject (8 wks.)
He was a great teacher and really funny. I actually enjoyed this class. My favorite thing about this class was when we took notes, he wrote on this projector screen at the same time we were writing so everyone was at the same pace. His notes were very clear and understanding. Show up to all the classes you should pass with at least a B easily.
I will say that I loved this class because there was almost no computations involved! Imagine that, STATs without the MATH! Seriously. He was more focused on if you got the concept than the actual calculations. He has a very dry sense of humor, which also helps too. Definitely take him.
Statistics is somewhat abstract, and he's very good at taking statistics and making it concrete, which makes it much easier to understand. He's better than Sincich.
This class is very easy to understand if you attend all the lectures. If you are female (or a gay male), you might have a difficult time concentrating though... Mr. Dummeldinger is so cute!
Incredible teacher! He makes something like stats interesting and easy to understand. His tests are straight forward and from the notes. His project is simple to complete and an easy A. Not to mention he is super cute and it makes a three hour class enjoyable when you have some eye candy.
He is a very good professor with upbeat lectures. He cares about his students and will be there to answer any questions about the material. I highly recommend this guy!!
I had a hard time in stat, so I barely passed with a "C."However going to class was fun just to watch him teach! ; ) ...His lectures were interesting though & he tried to keep the interest of the students by cracking jokes.Come to find out he is my relative through marrige b/c I saw him at a family reunion(haha)...after he gave me the C! GOOD CLASS
He Rocks! I had to retate this class and got a D with another prof I got a B in his. His lectures where very helpfull and made the book make a bit more sense. The problems he suggested in the book where very close to what was on the exams. He has the Solution manual on reserve at the library. Also he made himself very avaible for student questions.
Best professor I ever had at USF! His lectures are so fun and he really knows his stuff. He explains very clearly and he makes the material interesting with his examples and jokes! Tests are not easy but study his lectures and you'll be fine. Don't buy the book but definitely take his class!!!
Mark is the man!! Im not too good with math, but he made Stats 1 so easy to understand. excellent guy.
The best stats professor EVER!!!
His lectures are fun to go to and they make a lot of sense. He doesn't care what lecture you go to if he has multiple ones, so if you really want a noon class but its full just sign up for another one and go at noon, as long as you go to the right section on exam day he doesn't mind.
The Best that USF has to offer!!!!
Def take this professor, he is HILARIOUS, fun to watch, want to actually go to class. I ended up dropping, only because I didn't put the time into that it needed. YOU HAVE TO STUDY. Very helpful, everything you need online. TAKE HIM!
very good teacher. he explains everything to detail and if you study from his class lectures and homework , you'll pass the class. he kool.
if u expect to skip class & just read the book u will be in trouble. he makes class very enjoyable--very fun, nice guy! subject isnt too exciting and u need to put in some major time studying. practice exams helpful but i found them to be easier than actual test. theres also a project that is easy. I got a B in the class but i put forth the effort!
I looooved Dummeldinger. He's great, very funny. I almost always went to class simply because I enjoyed it. Exams are entirely based on notes. I didn't buy a book. I think I got an A... not quite sure yet. Take him. Stat sucks, but he rocks.
dummeldinger is awesome. so far he is my favorite professor since starting college. he is hilarious and knows his material. i just think the subject sucks.
Take him! Do NOT take Sincich! You will understand everything with Dummeldinger. He is so funny and nice and he explains everything so clearly. Most people hate statistics, but he really makes the class enjoyable for such a bad subject!
Great Professor, Great person, and very funny. Go to class, study his notes and you will do fine. He does a good job teaching a tough subject. He was always willing to help students. Good Luck.
Funny and entertaining. He gives partial credit for "wrong" answers on tests. You only use the book for homework (which is optional). I got 86, 74 and 87 on tests but because I got A for the final (which is ****ulative) he rounded it to an A. If you show interest and go over his notes, you'll be fine. His lectures last until the last minute though..
He teaches in a very bad way. Shows you the hard way to do it, then shows you the easy way, and only wants you to know the easy way. You have to study hard. This was the only class in my LIFE I ever got a C in, it was a C+. I have never even gotten a B- before this class. I don't like him much. He thinks he is funny but is quite the opposite.
Very confusing, but has funny jokes. You must go to class, if you want to pass. I made the mistake of skipping class and had to end up dropping it.
I loved his class bc of him! this is a great teacher to have for a hard subject. He is very down to erath and no question is stupid to him. He jokes around in class and does a great job preparing students for his tests. I would love to have him again as a teacher!
Probably one of the best teachers I've had. Statistics isn't one of the easiest subjects to learn, but Dummeldinger's belief of "no math" mixed with his sense of humor makes the class very easy. He's very helpful out of class, and even gives practice exams that are basically exact copies of the actual exam with different numbers. Recommended++
Prof is very funny and helpful. Make sure you go to class and do the homework problems, the projects are an easy A.
He is funny, smart, and cute!!! I got an A in class by going to most of the classes, taking notes, and studying his past tests reviews, that he has available.
Very funny teacher... he makes class interesting. Just make sure you go to class and do the homework. The project is really easy.
What a wonderful professor!! He makes material really comprehesive. Go to every lecture,take detailed notes,and study by them. I did not use the book whatsoever.Studied my notes and got an A.I'm going to miss him :)
One of the best teachers I've ever had hands down. Very funny guy. Excellent teaching style for a hard class. His exam reviews are great. I didn't do any homework and did well on the class. Go over your notes and attend ALL his lectures and DO the practice exams if you want a good grade. I'll miss this class :*( FALL 2007 12:30 PM CLASS REPRESENT!!
I dropped this class first time around because I didn't go to class the first semester or take notes. Second time around though I made sure to TAKE NOTES and go to EVERYCLASS.Memorize the practice exams, and make sure you understand the concept for yourself instead of knowing how he explained it. You think you know it when he says it!I got an A
Best prof EVER! Makes stats seem fun. Go to class, take notes, understand practice exams. Got an A! Nice way to start my day ;^) Fall 07 9:30 class represent!
Great teacher. Attendance mandatory, do the homework and practice exams Try hard. Semi-hard WARNING: this class is not made for EVERYONE, you aren't guaranteed an A by doing everything... just aim for that 10%... I got a B-.
OMG!!! I love this guy...he makes the subject much more easier.
Dummeldinger was atrocious. The entire class time was spent listening to his rude jokes. My friend took this class before, and when I told him some of the degrading stories, he said those were the same things he heard last semester. All I can say is that he is a "man" that says the same putrid jokes semester after semester. Terrible.
Dummeldinger was awesome. He had a way of teaching the material that made you easily understand it, and he was always willing to help you one-on-one if you went to his office hours. Got an A in the class.
OMG by far one of the most hilarious professors EVER!! I'm going to miss him and class. He makes it fun and enjoyable and understandable. He's willing to help you out. You think you understand the material as he's teaching it because it makes sense, but go back and do other problems to learn it for yourself and the tests. AWESOME professor/class
DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!.. Great guy, but there is a TON of note taking and you must be exact when you answer questions on the exams which are all short answer. I received a B on the 3 exams and failed the final because it was multiple choice and a totally new format; ending up with a C in the course.
Great prof! Explains clearly plus very entertaining. Go to class and take notes and you will be fine.
Great teacher decently diffuculy class but i wouldnt take any stats class with any other teacher... YAH DIG!!!
Dummeldinger is the man. He always has an entertaining class, and it is stats. He takes extremely difficult concepts and boils them down to digestible ideas. I never did any homework, just practice exams, and still got a B. Take him, you wont find a better stats teacher.
Take him for Stats 1. He is funny and makes the class interesting. I wish USF had more professors like him. He is always willing to help.
There is a common final for all Stat 1 classes. If you want to be prepared for it, do not take dummeldinner.
Great professor, fun entertaining, and I felt like I actually retained something from the class. Really good professor. Material however is very difficult and can become overwhelming if you don't keep up with it. Still with that said hard class but with a strict, but fair teacher.
I would strongly recommend any other teacher available if you are going to take stat 1.
I learned more about statistics in my research methods class than I did in his class. Find another teacher.
The main focus of his course is his jokes that he apparently repeats from semester to semester. I would advise anyone to find another teacher.
Take any other teacher available. If there aren't any, put the class off until next semester. Dummeldinger as poor a teacher as your going to find.
Even though I dominated his class, I suggest to anyone who reads this to find another teacher.
His class was fairly easy. I can't stand stats, but he made it tolerable. Not the best. Not the worst.
Great professor... class is what you make of it! Attending class and a little studying can get you an A. I would recommend this professor to anyone!
Great Professor. The last comment was right on the money. You get what you make of it. Explains everything well. Need to study. Aren't you in a university to learn anyway? Things are not going to be handed to you.
Great teacher, fun class
Great Professor. Practice tests are just like the real test. Study hard and use his Eluminate live sessions and you will do fine. Stats is not an easy class, but he makes it understandable. Highly reccommend! Im taking him again this summer
The entire semester is spent trying to understand his odd jokes. Little time is invested in statistics.
Terrible professor. I would recommend that you find another teacher if you are interested in learning statistics.
One of the worst professors I have experienced yet. Dummeldinner needs to get his act together.
Dummeldinger is a great teacher. He truly cares about his job and does what he can to make sure his students understand the subject. The practice tests are extremely helpful and his "Elluminate" sessions really helped me understand the material. His sense of humor is very refreshing and I am glad I took Stat I with him.
Dummeldinner allocates little time teaching you the lessons needed for stat 2 and beyond. I learned this the hard way. He is a poor teacher.
he is really a cool guy who cares. Goes entirely out of his way for his students, but theres too many spoiled brats to realize it...eluminate sessions are SOOOO helpful...TAKE HIM
He is very helpful. His second test is hard, but he really does try to help his students. His two projects are good grade boosters and his elluminate sessions are helpful. He IS a good professor.
Great professor. Definitely, highly recommended. Very thorough and detailed. Will concrete information into your heads. Best QMB professor at USF. Always available and willing to help.Only teaches in the summer.
I can honestly say that dummeldinger is one of the worst teachers I have ever encountered.
I did not realize how little I knew about Statistics until I took Stat 2. Dummeldinger does a terrible job preparing you for what is ahead.
He's really a GREAT Math Professor. He explained the lessons well, & was funny while doing so. The math was a little tough but he helped ALOT. He gives curves at the end of the semester. He doesnt give you a minus grade unless it helps you, Instead of a C+, he would give you a B-. GREAT professor ADD ADD ADD!!
He does not prepare you for future math nor do his tests reflect what he attempts to teach in class.
AWFUL
Possibly one of the worst teachers I have ever had.
great teacher. his elluminate videos really help with the project-which are easy. his lecture are funny and he makes the class go by quick. you use the text for HW only
Dummeldinger does not teach you the skills necessary for future math classes.
Took him for Stat I and II. Stat I was not difficult, Stat II was a diff. story. Took it during the Summer. He focuses on 2 projects, 1 exam, 1 final (175) pts. (400 total) Very difficult, he curved our class (250 students combined) due to too low of scores. Awesome prof though. Really enjoyed his lectures - Elluminate videos are a god send.
I took dummeldinger for stat 1 and he was an atrocious teacher.
I took Mark for Stat 1 and 2. Stat 2 was considerably more difficult and it was like learning another language. The class consists of 2 tests and 2 take-home projects, so if you do poorly on one it is hard to catch back up. I took good notes, had a good partner, and studied examples (No HW though) and got a B, which I was happy with.
awesome teacher. you can get by without the book but probably only if you are math brained. i didnt work very hard, but went to almost all classes, and got an a. he is very clear and puts up elluminate presentations to figure out projects. i think he is an excellent prof.
Prob the best teacher ive encountered. I feel that I can teach the class after ive listened to the lectures and I havent even opened the book. Test questions are sometimes a little crappy, but overall id take Dummeldinger again no problem
I loved this class! Always looked forward to it. He is really funny :) And class is easy, just pay attention, take notes, and review the homework. I didn't read any chapters or anything
get him out of here
easy to understand, good sense of humor, uses real life examples, very helpful
One of the best professors I ever had. Read the notes and do the homework assigned for the test before it and will get an A for sure.
He is a very enthusiastic professor and makes business and econ stats about as exciting as it can get. I recommend 110%. No better teacher out there!
Mark is an extremely experienced professor. He's been teaching since he got out of college and does it extremely well. Material is easy to understand, just show up to lectures. Project is easy and also worth much of the grade. He's hilarious and very enthusiastic. Made stats very interesting. I very much wish he taught stats 2!
My only complaint is that he is not teaching Stats 2. Fantastic professor, very enthusiastic AND funny, knows the material very well. Exams/project is fair, he doesn't try to trick you. Go to the lectures, because they are definitely worthwhile. Final was not cumulative. Not an easy A, but he makes it as easy as possible. Definitely recommend!
He is one of the most straight forward professors I have encountered. He tells you exactly what he expects from you. If you attend the lecture and take the practice exams you should be fine. I barely used the book. He is very willing to assist you and does a great job in explaining the material.
the worst ever
great teacher. has a sense of humor. he has been doing his job for a long time so he knows how to put information out in an effective way. i have nooooo idea why the people above him said he was terrible. he was great.
Best math teacher I ever had. He goes above and beyond, making class interesting and fun. Great sense of humor. I'm a D/F math student currently with a B average! 1st time in my life I kinda understand what's going on in a math class.Definitely recommend taking his Bus Stats class for math credit even if you're not a business major.Great test prep!

This class is sooo hard! He made it harder than the other professors that offer it. I DO NOT recommend him. I took him over the summer and I guess maybe he's just much harder over the summer.
Amazing teacher!!! Tells storys that help explain the material & also helps keep your attention in class, assigns homework, but homework is not mandatory, two group projects that are super easy, multiple choice exams. Again he is the one of the best teachers I've ever had!!! Highly recommend this teacher =]
absolutely a terrible professor.
As long as you go to class and take notes it's an EASY A. One of the best teachers you could have. Keeps class entertaining and mult. choice tests make the class super easy. Highly recommended!
Great teacher, makes the class entertaining. He reminds me of Ross from friends.
I think he is the best teacher I ever had. The homework is geared at educating you. It starts from easy and moves up to the harder stuff, leaving you without questions. His class is also funny.
Took this as Online.Excellent Professor. Leaves nothing unexplained, answers all the questions and his online lectures are some of the best I've taken. He needs a new pen.;-) Projects and tests are appropriate to the level of the course and can be applied to business easily. Don't get behind, ask questions, he'll get your brain into gear. BRAVO!
Fantastic teacher. Makes stat 1 easy peasy. Take any class you can with this man. Not necesary to buy the book so don't waste your money. Do practice tests before each exam and you'll get an A!!
made math incredibly easy. i almost felt like studying wasn't necessary because i retained all the information from class. this was the first math class i've never been bored in
Took for both Business Stats I and II. Pulled a B in I and an A in II, after failing out of General Stats a year before. Take him, he is by far the best stats teacher on campus and actually explains things in understandable and relateable ways.
Great instructor- by far the best I've ever had. I took the on line class and his video lectures are really good. His tests are brutal so don't think you'll breeze through them but he does curve the grades at the end so I still pulled out an A. I highly recommend this professor especially if you really want to learn statistics.
For a math elective, this professor is the best. I truly stink at math, he is very helpful. Go to every class, really, and you'll do well on the exams.
Very clear with expectations, Very helpful-provides a ton of information, from printouts to video instruction. Go to class, do the homework and review all available material.AWESOME!
I guess I should say something clever...but I'm not as funny as he is. Actually made stats 2 fun and interesting. This was the first class in 3 years that I showed up to every last lecture. Take notes and knock the projects out as he goes over the concepts in class. Avoid the "squeaky desk" in rm 1048....you will get called out!
Excellent class, excellent instructor. Never once opened my book during this class or Stats 1 with Dummeldinger. His lectures are clear and entertaining, and his practice exams give you a good idea of what you need to do for the exam. Do not take anyone but Mark for any Stats class!
Awesome instructor. Great class Never needed the book, just go to class. If you don't leave Stats I and II with a B or higher, you're in for a rough school career. Or a short one. Don't miss the chance to take his classes.
I had Mark back in '01 for Stat 1 before this site probably existed. Math is my worst subject, but the entertaining way he conducts his lectures had our entire class captivated. He's one of the best Stat professors in all of USF (besides Dr. Sincich). If you can take Stat 1 with Mark, do it!
This guy is the best teacher at USF by far. He is funny and entertaining and teaches you exactly what you need to learn to get an A. If you need Stats I for any reason take it and make sure you get Dummeldinger. HEHE funny name too, and he admits it.
Excellent professor, possibly the best I've had so far at USF. He does a superb job at stimulating interest in the subject and is a fair grader. While a textbook is "required", his exams are based on the class notes which are far more helpful than the book anyway.
This teacher is AWSOME!!! He is very clear on whats going to be in the exam and gives lots of examples. I do recommend this teacher
Very good professor. He is very funny and makes class enjoyable. The only grades are a few group projects and a few tests, so make sure you go to every class and study. Also, try to make sure that all parts of the group project are correct as your grade is shared with your group. Other than that though, great Stats teacher, and I highly recommend.
Great professor. I can sit through his 3 hour course without leaving. Entertaining learning environment.
He is one of the best teachers I have had. Although I didn't do too well in the class and was totally lost near the end I recommend him. He keeps this boring subject interesting. Follow project instructions exactly, we lost points on something silly. I didn't spend much outside time on the class and passed.
I love me some Dummeldinger!! He's an amazing teacher, and hilarious. His tests questions are straight forward, however the multiple choice answers get tricky. He even warns you that he'll try to trick you. Just study and you'll do fine, definitely take him for stats 1 and 2 !!!
Quality professor. takes time to break things down and answer questions. cracks the class up on occasion. I wouldn't call him easy though. But the course shld be manageable if you make all the lectures and keep up with your project
This guy is amazing!! very funny and helpful. made the class enjoyable and I wanted to go back every week. Great guy for Stats 1 & 2
I had him for Business Stats and he really does do everything he can to make sure you understand the material and to make the class interesting. He is a caring professor and wants to work with you to help. I had to drop the class as math has never been my strong point, but of all the math teachers, he makes stats very clear.
Great professor. He was funny and the class was completely doable. Never expected to get an A in statistics, but I did. Highly recommend him. He's a great guy.
Worst professor for online classes. DO NOT TAKE you will suffer. Doesn't teach material on the exams or projects. Literally had to ask where the information was located in order to complete projects. Had a 95% on all quizzes 1/2 way thru the semester and still FAILED the first exam. He seems nice though! JUST DON'T TAKE ONLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
easy stat, proff makes the subject very interesting also theres nearly NO MATH in this class only concepts. the proff really is good and knows how to explain every aspect of what he teaches in a way that is understandable to everyone. practice exams are just like that exam he gives.
Great professor... posts videos for practice exams explaining everything you need to know for test.
I loved this class, Mark enjoys teaching this subject and he really does a great job explaining the different topics. I never used the book though, so I hope to get some use out of it in stat II. Just 3 exams and 3 group projects. His video lectures and exam videos are extremely helpful.
He is hilarious and makes class go by quickly. I thought his notes were unorganized and were not helpful when studying for the exam. The projects are easy and he'll give you the answers to the questions.
He is very funny and makes lectures interesting. Even though I'm usually lost in class because he moves so quickly, once I take the notes and refer to the textbook, it all makes sense after. There are just 3 exams and 3 assignments. All are easy A's if you pay attention. He makes it easy for you by not making you use traditional stat formulas
BY FAR THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE HAD AT USF!!! He is REALLY funny, and he uses real life examples to help you understand the material! He posts videos going over problems to study for the exams, which made them really easy! I would DEFINITELY recommend taking ANY class with him that you can! GREAT TEACHER!
Mr. Dummeldinger is by far the best professor at USF I've had. He wants you to pass - and makes all attempts to help you! He is clear in what you need to know and he makes his lectures very interesting. When it's time for an exam he is willing to answer your questions. I got a B in the class with little to no studying.
The class is kind of hard if you're not a fan of math. However, he is a very funny professor and makes every effort to ensure you do ok. He treats you like an adult and gives you the opportunity to create your own fate. Help is there if you want it, but most of the learning will be on your own. He is a great teacher!
Great professor, definitely knows his stuff, great at explaining the topics clearly, funny. Go to lectures! Tests are not easy but if you listen and take notes and do the practice exams you will do well. you only need the book if you plan on doing the "homework" (which is not collected). Projects are very fair and relevant. Taking him for stats II
Incredibly funny and somewhat interesting class! Mostly went for his jokes and the notes he let's us copy every class. Basically dont even have to look at the book. 3 projects and 3 exams. He puts up a video illustrating exactly what you have to do for the projects and he posts practice exams that are SIMILAR to the actual exam
Definitely take him for Stat 1. He makes class enjoyable, even though the material is pretty boring. Three exams, three projects. For the projects GO TO STAT LAB they'll help you immensely. For exams, study the practice exams, notes, and watch the videos. Watch out for exam two. He loves putting the best wrong answer. Best math class i've taken!
He handwrites his notes everyday on a projector, so if you want the material you have to go to class. All exams are scantron, so it is all or nothing when it comes to partial credit. Overall, go to class, take notes, study the practice exams and you will be fine.
Not hard but not easy. Only gives points for tests and 3 projects. He makes class interesting with jokes. Def easy on the eyes sometimes made it hard to pay attention. Attendance not mandatory but all tests are based of his notes. Test reviews not helpful.
BEST PROF EVER!!!! Just take him, he is not hard AT ALL. Super funny, gives you different opperunities to have a good grade. His tests are only 20 multiple choice questions. His tests are very much like his practice test which he provides answers and explanation online. 3 group projects all semster and thats it! GOLDEN
Amazing Prof. Dummeldinger makes STATS interesting. This course has some challenging material, however of you put in effort there is no excuse not to pass. His teaching style is great, exams are reasonable, and the final will help tremendously if you study! Projects are relatively easy and his grading is more than just. Overall, TAKE HIM! He's Hot
He's a really nice guy and makes lectures go by fast with his great sense of humor. He makes a normally boring class interesting by doing so. His tests can trip you up since he always puts "good" wrong answers, but if you know your stuff you'll be ok. The tests are only out of 20 questions too, which makes each question really important as well.
One of the best professors I've ever had, that is until I started watching Game of Thrones and realized he looked just like Peter Baelish (Aka Little Finger), whom I hate. Now I have really mixed emotions.
AMAZING teacher. He is hilarious. The main reason I went to class was because he was so entertaining. I wish I was taking him for stats 2. :( I hate statistics but it was not that bad because he was such a good teacher. Make sure to do the hw even though it isn't mandatory. And go to the TA office hours to get your projects checked!
He is a great teacher. Statistics was very challenging fr me (im terrible at math) but he made it easier to understand. 3 tests and 3 group assingments. Go to thst stat lab and they help you a lot and get you 100's on the projects. 1st test is easy. Last 2 can be challenging. Best prof i've had at USF.
Effective teacher and cool guy. I had a healthy fear of Stat when I first took his class, but he made it all seem like no big deal. I got an excellent grade under his teaching and I fully intend on taking Stat 2 with him again next semester
Very funny guy, always had the class in a uproar. Easy as long as you go to class and pay attention. You will only need the book if you intend on doing the homework. I took him over summer and was only graded on 2 projects and 2 exams. All tests were multiple choice, but BE WARNED he writes very tricky wrong answers, he will tell you that though.
This guy is awesome. Best teacher I have ever had. Took him for stats one and two and I enjoyed his class very much. He's legit funny and keeps class very interesting. More teachers need to be like this guy.
Wow this teacher is the best math teacher I have ever had. He writes his test to exactly how he teaches the material. In some classes the only way to understand is by reading the book. In this class understand the teacher, do some practice homework and practice exams and the grade you want is absolutely obtainable.
Go to class he gives great notes and makes lectures fun. He is always there to help as are the TA's. Three exams and three group projects. Just do the homework and you will probably get the concepts. Exams are fair.
Hes awesome. Enough said
He is a great professor. He is funny and knows his material very well. He genuinely cares about his class. His exams are extremely difficult. This is not a class you can breeze through without studying. He always writes wrong answers that look right.
He is a great professor! Teaches things very well and I understood immediately. This class isn't easy though, definitely take time out to study and practice but Dummeldinger definitely took weight of my shoulders because he taught so well. He's pretty funny and I definitely recommend it!
This professor is awesome. I would recommend not doing the homework, it's pretty useless. I got an A in the class by just studying mainly my notes and looking over the practice exams. The first exam is pretty easy, but the second and final can be tough if you do not study a lot. The projects are easy, but go to the TAs to have them check it.
This is the best class I have ever taken. I learned so much and he actually teaches you. Take the class. He's also funny.
Professor Dummeldinger made this class so enjoyable. I went in dreading Stats, and I left wanting to learn more. The class consists of three partner projects and three exams. The first one is easy, but the last two are very difficult, and you must study to pass. Attendance is not mandatory , but go to class if you want to fully understand material.
Easily one of the best professors that I have had before. Lectures are funny, engaging and you actually learn something new, that being said, the content isnt easy but he gives you plenty of good resources to learn the material. 1010 will definitely take another one of his classes.
Not a bad class at all, he makes stats much less painful than in would normally be. The lectures are quite interesting and he knows how to keep an audience listening. He's really quite hilarious most of the time too. The tests are clean cut, and mostly reflect the material you learn in class very well. That said, pick a trusted partner for group pr
One of the funniest teachers ever. Wish he was teaching stats 2 in the spring but sadly he is not. Would definitely recommend him.
He is the most amazing instructors I've ever had in my entire life. His class is so much fun, and not too boring to watch like many other instructors. He is a fair grader as well, never had a biased attitude in class. He is awesome and attractive as well
Amazing Stats Professor. The only thing is his tests are small and most people walk away with a C. Funny guy.
Has videos of review exams, super helpful
This class is very difficult... i loved having him as a professor but this class is tough
really liked being in his class, felt like heaven
He is awesome
Would make you fall in love with math. If you're not willing to start loving math, don't take it with him. But if you want to learn very well, I strongly recommend having him as an instructor.
This class is challenging! You are only graded on 4 assignments, 2 projects and 2 test. If you a hard time in stats 1 you will not do any better in this class. Would recommend taking it with a professor that offers more opportunities to pass such as homework assignments and quizzes.
Not a bad teacher but he definitely makes you work for your grade, goint to the TA's is a must if you want a good grade on the projects which are a bid deal in this class.
By far one of the BEST math teachers at all of USF!! He is hilarious and does his best to make sure that students understand every topic. He is always willing to help! He also allows you to go to any section you want except for exams. The only con is that the grading only consists of tests and projects, which leaves little room for messing up.
Great class.
One of the few math professors that are actually great. Engages with the class irregardless of size. Very funny and personable, keeps the class interesting while not getting off topic. Explains everything very clearly and usually more than one way. One of the most enjoyable lectures I have had while learning at the same time. HIGHLY SUGGEST.
Dummeldinger is a pretty good professor with an even better last name. He loves what he teaches and make us laugh along the way. If you've never taken a statistics class before (like me), you will have to work a little extra hard for the grade you want. There are only 3 exams and 3 projects (with one partner) on the grading scale. You can do it!
This is a hard class. Attendance isn't mandatory, but go if you know what's best for you. Professor is willing to help and replies to emails fast, plus provides resources to help with studying. You definitely have to work for your grade as the only grades are three exams and the final.
Dummeldinger isn't the typical math teacher. He understands that most students don't enjoy long computations, so he doesn't make us do them unless necessary. Very dry sense of humor, entertaining. Three tests, three projects, that's it.
Do well on the projects. You have 3 of them and 3 exams and no other grades. Dummeldinger understands that college students don't love math and he pokes fun at it. Show up to class and take notes, it will help you tremendously. His lectures are very do-able because he himself is entertaining. Very down to earth guy, easy to understand.
If every professor was like Dr. Dummeldinger we'd already have the florida preeminence designation.
If you do not have a good project partner, or do not already have a good comprehension of statistics before entering this class beware. Your grades are determined by four things only, and if you fail one of them you fail the class with no chance at recovering without taking the class again. If you are already not good at statistics you will get a C
Regardless of how you feel about statistics Dummeldinger is a fantastic professor! If you show up to class he is very funny and make stats slightly less boring! Also, the reviews are very similar to the test. Make sure to do the homework problems and study for the tests and an A is definitely attainable. Also, ask TAs if you need help with projects
I abhor math, and by the end of his course I seriously considered going into statistics. He made every class fun and enjoyable and I learned a lot. Easily the best Professor I have ever taken. I took summer school I didn't even need just so I could take Stat 2 with him instead of in the fall with someone else! 10/10 would take again.
Great prof. and makes Stats easy. Be aware that there are only 6 grades for the semester- 3 exams, 3 projects. He literally gives you the answers to the projects in class, so if you don't go, or make your partner pick up your slack and they bomb it, you can only blame yourself. The TAs will also check it for you if you visit before the due date.
Dummeldinger makes stats enjoyable. I had him at night for three hours and still he made me smile every class. He is very funny and even more helpful. He responds to emails quickly and offers extra help constantly. Class is based off three test (one is the final) and three partner projects. Attendance is not mandatory but vital for understanding.
Good teacher, difficult class. If stats doesn't come naturally, it will be a difficult class for you. He will grade you on 3 exams (somewhat difficult) and 3 group projects. The projects are easier than you think because it is only one partner and he makes a video outlining what he is asking for. Solid teacher, but get ready to work
Doesn't believe in minus grades and will give you up to 3% round up on your final grade if you do really well on the final exam.
Mainly exams and group projects (3 of each). He's an alright teacher, sometimes goes a bit quick. He makes a lot of jokes, some are really clever which is appreciated. Lots of stories that he makes relevant to the material. He's been teaching for a while. His TA's aren't very helpful which is rough.
He's funny, really likes statistics, and overall a good professor. Get ready for lots of random off-topic stories about the 80s. The class itself isn't that hard, but you should definitely learn the basics of the subject in the first few weeks so you aren't behind. Test 1 is easy, Test 2 sucks, and by the time the final comes you'll know your stuff
Easily the best teacher I've had at USF. Had class every Monday 6:30-9:15, but everything class he mad interesting and made everyone laugh a few times. Stats could be boring especially for 3 hours at a time, but Dummeldinger really makes the class fly by. Hilarious stories and examples as well.
SUPER EASY CLASS! I only went to three classes total, only the test days, and I got an A. The tests are exactly like the practice tests but just different number. Super easy just study those and you will pass with flying colors! Also go to the STATS lab for the projects and they will basically do it for you.
Dummeldinger ROCKS. (Disclaimer: stats is my favorite math.) Took him for Stat 1 and then Stat 2 over the summer. Pros: Hilarious, very clear, responds well to questions, doesn't require homework. Cons: Gives you more information on a concept than necessary, Bad TAs in the spring, sometimes requires partners on projects (esp. in stat 1)
Took over the Summer. Couple projects, great lectures, really wants to help.
Professor Dummeldinger is truly a great teacher. He jokes a lot, very sarcastic, but also very kind and respectful. He doesn't give hw, but be ready to do some projects, which are easy if you pay attention during lectures. The exams are tricky though.
He is hilarious. The class is interesting but I particularly think it was hard (if you miss class it's really hard to understand it later). He gives practice exams and makes videos solving it, and they are very similar to the test.
Dummeldinger is the Robert Downey Jr. of the teaching world. He is super friendly, care free, and loves his job. He also happens to know what he is doing. I'd say his lectures are mandatory due to their helpfulness but he doesn't care about attendance. There are only a few assignments though, so you really have to pay attention and take your time.
Great, I never imagined that i will understand and enjoy stats until his class. He explains how to do projects in class and his practice exams are similar to the actual ones. Very thorough and entertaining lectures, and a charismatic personality!
he's a cool guy and he's funny. his lectures are entertaining but it's 3 projects and 3 exams and if you mess up on one of them, you're kinda done for! work hard and ask questions
Really funny. Fair grading and does as much as he can to help you pass. Love him and frankly miss his class.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. If you go to class and take notes you'll get a good grade in the class.
You need to make sure you review the materials. Final is non-cumulative, but concepts build on each other throughout the semester. Funny guy who explains concepts clearly. Make sure you take notes or ask to take pictures of them after class.
Really great professor, very clear when it comes to what he expects. The tests are not particularly hard if you take the practice tests before taking the actual exams. The group projects are fairly easy and reinforce what you learn in class. I also recommend to go to every class and to take notes because his lectures are very helpful.
Hardest part is there's only 6 grades and tests are short & MC-only. Went over each test 3 times to make sure I didn't make any careless mistakes. A few questions wrong and you're already staring at C territory. Do practice problems from txtbk and class notes to prepare. Also do not pay the $100 for the book, found mine online for $30.
Easy class. Honestly just pay attention and ask questions and you will be fine. Material is not hard but make sure you understand it. Do the practice homeworks and study! If you do this you will do good. He's a really cool professor and it will be a good class if you pay attention, do good on projects, and the exams.
Took him for 1 in the spring, then did 2 online in the summer. Tbh I was a little nervous ab doing 2 online, but it was way easier than 1 was in-person. Imo this is the way to do it: take 2 as soon as you finish 1, the last topic in 1 is the foundation of 2. Mark is also hilarious and his lectures are great, wish I could have more classes w/ him.
One of the best teachers! I had him for summer A so it was fast paced & lecture was around 2 hrs 30 mins, he is hilarious and I never got bored. I mostly relied on his online videos & in class lectures. You are able to find how to solve everything in the chapter study guides(fill in ques). Test was mult. choice. Our TA was very helpful too.
Great professor, top tier quality. But very tough material to understand, even for a marketing major who is good at math.
I took the evening lectures from 6:30 to 9:15 and I thought it would be terrible, but he is such a great professor that it wasn't a problem at all. He is really funny, super easy to talk to, all the lectures make perfect sense.
He was one of my favorite professors I have ever had. He is super caring and his lectures are funny and interesting. The only downside is your graded on three projects and three test that's it so if you fail something you're kind of stuck. Suggest studying and paying attention.
I was repeating this course after failing with another professor. Mark was caring and respectful, the course was presented in a very organized manner and everything was concisely communicated. I went form failing with and F to getting an A-, that says a lot about how great he is. It is lecture heavy, but you will definitely understand everything.
Professor Dummeldinger is the best professor I have ever had. So understanding and genuinely willing to see his students learn and succeed (esp during COVID). I had him for QMB 2100 in the spring then QMB 3200 in the summer. Extremely helpful and broke down the material very well. I am genuinely sad that I will no longer have him as a professor.
Great professor
Terrible "professor". I don't know why everyone acts like he's the best thing since sliced bread. He is such a hard grader on projects, and don't even try to get your grade moved up by a point or two, god forbid.
Before QMB3253 I had never taken any stats class not even in high school, and I'm extremely bad at math. Advanced stats is hard but Dummeldinger is very fair and logical, if you watch the lectures and do the homework, he writes everything out step by step in the lectures and it is exactly how to format the answers for the homeworks and tests.
Super nice professor, very thorough in his notes/lectures. Proctorio isn't on the exams so your "privacy isn't at risk". Only issue is his projects are kind of annoying. They are difficult and no matter how correct your answers are, the TAs will take off points for dumb stuff. Mr. D himself is great, wish he taught stats 2! :,(
Ive taken this professor for two different semesters online and both times he has made the TAs accessible and even will go over specifics in class if you ask. Responds extremely quickly to emails, if he doesnt it is unusual or because his classes spam him. Overall an amazing teacher
Graded on 4 projects, 4 exams, a few quizzes that aren't worth much. Very tough grader. No extra credit. His posted lectures get confusing. He makes himself available but will make you feel like you shouldn't need his help. I do not know why these other reviews are so high. He's not the nicest person and definitely NOT understanding. No Proctorio.
He is awesome. His instructions are clear and very simple! There are weekly comprehension quizzes but they are easy and he allows 2 attempts on each. There are a total of 4 projects and 4 exams and with the final exam being cumulative BUT he gives practice exams for them all that help immensely! Awesome professor and will take for QMB3200 if I can.
Professor Mark is by far the best professor I had. Finished my QMB 2100 with an A and took QMB 3200 with him as well (also finished with an A). He is really fun. He is super organized with the way he teaches. You cannot not understand his lectures! He is just the best professor. Whenever you have the chance, take your classes with him!!
I took him for Stats 1 and 2. He has been amazing both terms and I would highly recommend. All exams were open notes, no proctorial. For stats 2 we had 3 homework assignments, 3 exams, and 7 quizzes. He gives 5 points extra credit if you get above a 70 on the hws and 5 pts for quizzes too. Drops the lowest 2 quiz grades. His lectures give examples.
It's a tough class, but he is potentially the best professor at the university. He is kind, willing to help, and passionate about what he does. He provides videos that will assist you with working with a data set that is the core of each homework assignment throughout the course. You will still have to study and work hard to achieve an A or B.
I took him for both Sat 1 and 2 and he was a great teacher with a fun attitude! I am so happy I had him for a professor over any other and he made the material very easy to understand. Just pay attention to the lectures and attend the stat labs if you need help, and you'll be all set!
Mr. D is one of the best professors at USF! He took over after my assigned prof quit, and I'm so thankful he did. He makes a lot of dad jokes lol but he keeps things engaging and fun. His explanations are really helpful, and the TAs are good at clarifying things. Don't miss the opportunity to take a class with him!
Good professor, no Proctorio, TA's grade the HW/Projects and they are tough grades.
Practice exams and review are literally NOTHING like his tests. His tests are difficult and short. Extremely tough grader. NO extra credit opportunity. No forgiveness if you have to turn something late. He isn't the worst but he is not the best. You WILL have to work extremely hard to pass this class if this topic does not come easily to you.
He seems like a nice guy and he definitely knows his stuff. All tests are open note and no proctorio. You have 4 projects which vary in difficulty. The T/As grade them very harshly for no reason. You have 6-8 boring lectures to watch in the span of a few weeks which gets old. Definitely watch and write down everything though. Not good but not bad.
Took it over summer, very practical and funny professor, would take him for another subject, but unfortunately he's into clownfish breeding. This is a tough class though so keep up
As long as you go to the lectures, and take notes on what he says, it's an easy A. He offers a ton of time with office hours where both him and the TA are super helpful. I recommend printing out his notes prior to class. A lot of the notes are redundant but still important, so having them prior saves you so much time. 100% recommend taking him.
took class during summer (6 weeks). I took him for QMB3100 too and its the same deal. Very funny and explains material very well. Take him if you can, he's awesome.
I took this class over the summer and he was amazing! He goes into depth about anything and would make sure you would feel confident about the topics presented. Another perk is that he is hilarious! He makes statistics fun even though I struggled at times to understand. I would recommend anyone to take his class.
One of those teachers you look forward to seeing!
Best professor ever! Makes the lectures interesting and keeps the class engaged. Material isn't necessarily easy but it isn't necessarily hard, once you pay attention to lectures you will be fine! Would recommend him to anyone!
I ery well on only to get back a 10/20 and confusion. I
Mark Dummeldinger is a great professor that truly cares about his students. He has office hours twice a week to answer questions and gives out bonus points although it is rare. He is so funny and always helps when you ask him questions about homework in person but you must do the work to succeed. He goes kinda fast so make sure you write it down
Hardest teacher ever. I have never experienced a worse grader in my life. On the projects. You could do everything right and put a extra 0 and it will be wrong. The test feel so rigged. You do the checks and get good grades the test comes around its like the same thing and you fail it. Its terrible take someone else
Loved this professor, very easy to get in touch with and explain emergencies. You have enough time to complete all work, and he tells you exactly what to study for so tests are graded heavily but they are not as difficult. His lectures run on but theyre really easy to follow through and understand.
Horrible subject, horrible professor. The professor knows he teaches a difficult subject, and refuses to adapt to the students struggles with it. If you want him to curve the your grade, forget about it. I took the online course, watched every video, and still struggled. If you care about your GPA, take a different statistics professor.
Solid professor, hilarious guy. Good teaching ability, ties in his life stories to make the content entertaining. Has a project before every exam that is kind of a review, then exams are open note so the class isn't too hard. Extremely fast responses to any emails, good at helping people during office hours. Rounded me up a couple percent to an A.
Lectures are interesting, and he is very funny. Gives study guides/practice tests with videos explaining the problems in case you need help. Projects are also given with videos that guide you. Gives you feedback on the projects before test. A couple of extra credit opportunities, but not a lot. If you email him about notes, he'll give them to you
Mark is entertaining in lectures but is unapproachable and uncaring. If you didn't take stat in hs and he's your first stat teacher, forget getting a good grade from him. TA's are elusive and his attitude is passive-aggressive. Do not miss any of his competency checks and always double-check the grading on projects and tests.
good teacher. he's a funny guy and the lectures were okay. if you attend classes and take notes you'll be good, but at the same time, some people either understand stat or do not understand it. also, I never used my textbook.
I was amazed by Prof's innovative teaching ability that sets students up for success. Aside from mostly engaging lectures exuding positive energy, he administers competency checks for students to test their understanding. Moreover, a practice exam and explanation video precedes every exam and project that is extremely helpful. Definitely take him!
The work isn't bad. There's 4 mods which have 1-3 question easy quizzes. Each module has a project, you make a data set and complete a worksheet. He posts videos for each project that shows you what to do. Theres only 2 exams, they're open book. He is really helpful and wants you to succeed. I just didn't do well because I didn't put in the work.
Dummeldinger is an engaging professor that makes all material easy to understand. He answers all questions and makes sure everyone understands. It is kinda hard to fail his class when he gives step by step of everything he is expecting. Not only does he go over projects and deadlines in class but he also provides videos for each project/module.
Dummeldinger is probably my favorite professor I have had so far. He teaches a difficult subject but manages to keep everyone engaged with visuals and anecdotes. I do not think anyone can explain stats as well as he can. His YouTube videos have been very helpful as well.
Terrible he literally ate my homework and poisoned my dog when I asked for an extension.
Mark Dummeldinger is the best teacher ever. He's very funny and he makes the subject so easy to study. Love him so so much.
weekly mini quizzes (2 tries each), 4 projects, and 4 exams (3 online and final LIVE). Attend lectures and project reviews, actually try on everything, and ask questions you will do great! Prof is enthusiastic about what he's teaching and tries to make it simple and funny for you to remember concepts. If you take notes and don't cheat your fine.
Not fond of his teaching style because he taught based on what HE thinks is the best way rather than thinking about what might be the best way to accommodate the preferred learning styles of most students. The hardest part of the class were the projects, because they don't always line up with content we are learning in class, then the tests next.
Provides detailed lectures and notes to fill out. As long as you understand his lectures and do well on the short quizzes you will do well on the exams. But if you need extra practice he provides practice exams. The projects were a bit challenging because some parts were not clearly defined. Overall manageable class.
Definitely a great professor, has the "work smarter not harder" mentality and teaching style. Very thorough in lectures and each topic builds on top of the previous lesson. Quizzes 18-20 questions.
I did not use the textbook once, so I do not recommend buying it. He is easy to listen to. There are Practice Test Review videos before each test, making it very easy to study. As long as you study and do the practice test a few times, the tests are not bad at all. For the projects I recommend going to the TA office hours, they are very helpful.
Best teacher in USF
Professor Dummeldinger is a great teacher to have QMB 2100. Lectures are great and is very clear and concise on the material he teaches. No HW for this class but weekly quiz's due Sunday nights that are very easy. Communication is great and gives out reminders for assignments and holds online sessions for questions we may have. Highly Recommend!
I am pretty bad at math, however I took statistics my senior year of high school then this class my freshman year, so the information was still pretty fresh in my head. However, if I were a beginner I would probably be a little confused. However, the workload is very light and relatively easy. Professor is also very funny. Would recommend!
He literally thinks that he's all of that when in reality, he gives his students study guides that have NOTHING to do with what will be on the actual exam. He did this for every exam especially the final. I went from having an 88 in the class to a 76. The average in the class was a 66% and NO he did not decide to curve it. It is never that deep.
He spends 80% of the lecture time telling stories none of us ever ask for. BUt hey, I laughed a little during class. My life would be easier if I took a different professor for statistics 1. I hope he reads this.
Funny, straight-forward lectures, tests have fewer qs than most, making getting good grade hard if you don't know exactly what you're doing. No hw, practice tests usually good, projs easy bc he gives tutorial for making print-outs & revs what he's looking for. Content is tricky, but not impossible to learn. Concept checks easy, dont help grade alot
Prof Dummeldinger cares about his students and wants you to pass. His two in person exams were pretty hard so I recommend trying your best on the projects and weekly quizzes (also the practice exams help a lot). Honestly, the course was not hard to pass but getting a good grade might be difficult.
Amazing math teacher. A lot of people did badly in the class because they did not show up to class and were lazy. Just go to class and focus and it will not be hard.
I was terrified to take this class because math is not my strong suit, I took the 6 week summer class, and it had been a while since I took Stats I, but Prof. Dummeldinger did a great job at explaining what he wanted from his students. The class is labor intensive, but his lectures and the resources he provided made it a very positive experience.
One of the best professors I've had at USF! I took him online over the summer and felt it was very manageable to get an A. His lectures were to the point, understandable, and thorough. I highly recommended going to office hours as they are extremely helpful when completing projects/studying for exams! You don't need the textbook.
Prof. Dummeldinger was the best teacher I have had at USF so far. I took this course in 6 weeks during the summer and all we had were lecture videos. Download the notes, follow the videos, and write down the info. Exams were open notes and honestly not bad in comparison to some other math exams. Just take your time. TAKE HIM!
DON'T TAKE HIM!! TAKE ANYONE ELSE. He is funny in class but unfortunately, that doesn't make up for the teaching aspect. He gives practice tests and practice questions that have nothing to do with the exam. I'm not bad at math either its just his class his exams are made to trick you which is sad.
4 projects and 4 exams as well as quizzes every week. The projects are detailed and easy to do they build off of each other. The quizzes and first 2 exams are open note and online. The 3rd exam and final are in person and he allows you to bring 1 cheat sheet. He does not post any lectures so you have to attend class. Overall he's a good professor
Teaches very well. Dont skip class, he doesnt post notes and so the notes you can get are either from class or the stats lab
the videos are long and tedious and do not help with the test or homework. i barely passed. worst grade i have ever gotten in a class. the night when the project was due, everyone was struggling and panicking. doesn't really have office hours
Took Stats 1 and 2 combined, used no formulas, not much hw, everything was easy hw's were explained word for word if asked, tests were the same reworded questions and open note. Did not work more than 30 mins a week outside of class. Did not study, just take notes.
He's awesome professor and knows what he is talking about. He can simplify the material in a way that anyone can understand. Super funny guy. Don't try to ask for forgiveness though, he has heard enough of it lol
Attendance isn't mandatory but I would not miss his lectures. You learn so much and he makes the material so entertaining. Great professor who is amazing at his job.
He is very funny and extremely nice. However, I would avoid taking his class if you don't already have an understanding of statistics. His lectures were long and tedious, and I had a hard time understanding the material. There are 4 projects and exams that make up your entire grade. The project software is terrible and he is an unforgiving grader.
The class is graded on 4 projects and 4 exams which are difficult and graded harshly. He doesn't make exceptions and even though the project software is bad, he blames you. I wouldn't recommend this class unless you already have some statistics experience because his lectures are long and he provides few examples of how to actually solve problems.
Dummeldinger is awesome. Great sense of humor that keeps me interested in the lecture. Cool, down to earth dude. The content is difficult but what statistics course is gonna be easy? But he explains it well and will go over things with you. The TA's can be a little harsh when grading though. Very accessible and wants you to succeed.
Professor Dummeldinger is a really funny teacher, stat is a really hard subject to understand but he does a good job explaining things but if you get behind your definitely going to get behind. Definitely recommend taking him
great teacher but made it easy to skip out on class so i never went. exams are online, not proctored. tip: dont buy chegg for the exams, everything is wrong.
Probably my favorite professor in college so far. He has a great personality and teaches well. Exams are open book/notes. Just attend classes and you should have an easy time. He also provides extra credit opportunities.
He is simply the best teacher if you put in the effort! Take him!
Laid back professor who is knowledgeable, accessible, and humorous. Class is super easy given you put in the work to complete the projects, assessments, and score decent enough on exams. If you use all the inperson and online resources, you should get an A in the class no sweat. The goat of business stats 1 and 2. i never touched the textbook once.
Prof. Dummeldinger is great. If you have to take Stat 1 or 2, this is the guy. He takes a boring, somewhat difficult subject and makes it accessible and a little bit interesting. It's not an easy class but he gives you exactly what you need to do well. Lectures and practice problems help a lot.
Professor Dummeldinger keeps the class engaging with his great personality. The content can be challenging, but he explains it well. Definitely attend class - the notes and resources like unstuckstudy ai are crucial for doing well.
Cool professor. Attendance not mandatory, but is recommended. A textbook is also recommended, but I never used it since class notes were enough. 3 projects, 3 exams, all of which are doable given you pay attention during class. Professor also has office hours. Dummeldinger is entertaining and does his best to keep students engaged. I'd recommend!
The professor is funny and teaches well but very fast, so pay attention. There are 3 easy assignments and 3 online, open-book exams (not honor-locked). Classes aren't mandatory, but nothing is on Canvas—ask the TA for notes. He has a YouTube channel for missed lectures. Chill class overall! Don't have to pay for textbook.
overall good professor. Made stats pretty easy. doesnt give hw and also never used the textbook so i wouldn't buy it. 3 projects, not that hard but i thought TAs were picky about answers. quizes every sunday, open note and no honor lock same with exams, only three.
Show up to class, because if you don't its going to hurt. Shouldn't be a problem since he is very engaging and fun with his lectures. Exams and quizzes are taken online at home with no honor lock.
Hes a great teacher but he does not give the best feedback for the projects. There are 4 projects and 4 exams that are not the worst but you do have to try a little bit.
Great teacher, definitely recommend taking in person. Funny guy, teaches well, and give hints to answers on projects during class. Projects are tedious, but if you listen you will get a good grade. No honorlock.
Super easy class. There's an 1 online quiz every week, 4 simple projects, and 4 non-proctored online exams. I would go to class if you want to learn rather than cheat through his class (although you could) but he actually explains concepts well and is entertaining.
Prof Dummeldinger made stats pretty easy to understand. His lectures are helpful, take notes to use on the quizzes & tests. He responds to emails quickly. Don't bother buying the textbook. Projects are simple but TAs can be picky, go to the project Teams meeting to have 1 on 1 help, literally no students were ever there & he was so helpful.

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
hello sir see you again
Took this a few years ago and I didn't do well but he was really awesome and is the only reason I passed. Dummeldinger 4 lyfe
Very Nonchalant. He passes class material during his lectures, therefore you'll have to attend, he gives open note books exams and is very understanding. easy class and fun professor definetly would take again.
I really liked this class he's really funny, does projects and short open book exams which he provides alot of preparation for. He's very helpful w understanding the projects if u need it. Honestly hard to fail.
Prob the best professor I've ever had. He really wants you to have good grades, cares about his students, has a good sense of humor, and makes it easy to understand difficult concepts.
Prof Dummeldinger makes the class very easy and accessible. Exams were given online, over multiple days, and no honorlocked was used. The "most tedious" task was one quiz a week, but even that is light work. Overall if I could I would rate 12/10 take him if you can!
