This guy is super cool. He makes statistics fun, and is easy to listen to. He is a great teacher, makes class fun and always has fun examples or demonstrations in class. If you can't understand him, sit in the front! You can hear him a lot better.
Werner is an awesome teacher. He really wants his students to learn and excel in the course and he does everything to try to help you. Whenever I needed help with homework on MyStatLab, he responded to my question within 20 minutes. Class is sometimes a little tedious but attendance isn't mandatory. You should definitely take his class!
Werner goes out of his way to help his students. I am not good in stat so I went to his office hours where he'll give one on one tutoring. Very nice. Gives old tests for practice that are very similar to the actual test. 10 HW questions a week, not bad at all. No book needed.
Mr. Werner is the cutest man ever. The class itself is very easy, especially if you've taken statistics in high school. Tests are easy and there's plenty of practice material. You don't have to go to class but sometimes it's worth it cause Werner is so adorable. He tries to make it interesting with jokes/videos and he even showed us pictures of himself holding a baby lion. I love Werner it was my favorite class I've taken at UGA (also the easiest)
He is a great teacher. He actually cares if his students are learning and makes it so fun that is impossible not to like him or the class. I think he spoiled us by bringing M&Ms and cookies to the probability and distribution lessons :)
He is a great teacher. He genuinely cares about what he teaches and he really does want everyone to do well. He is very helpful and is always available if you need help.
He is a really caring professor. He makes theses cool/weird videos to help you remember the concepts. He is always willing to help you and wants you to succeed so there is no reason not to make an A or B in this class.
Loved him. Great teacher and really loves what he does. Extremely helpful and will make time to go through any questions any student has. Definitely take from him!
Werner is AWESOME!! Online homework, but no book needed. He schedules office hours when students want them and is extremely helpful at explaining material. Very interesting in class - uses funny clips, Hey Ryan memes, etc. to help liven up that material. SUCH a nice guy and a delightful professor. Take statistics with him for sure!! :)
Easiest class I have taken and I am 3rd year with a 3.8 GPA. You can just look over the study guides twice and there is no reason to not make at least a B. It is a shame that he is teaching such an easy class. Dr. Werner seem very intelligent and do not really get to showcase it. There is a bonus question on every test.
Go to class and pay attention. Do clicker questions in class for participation. Do homework, study the slides, and do the practice tests. You'll get an A on every single exam without spending a lot of time.
Dr Werner was a good teacher but kind of hard to understand in class because of his accent. In my opinion the material was pretty easy, but what made him a great teacher was that he was always quick to respond to questions over emailWebAssign and was very clear and understanding. Also, he's an incredibly nice guy!
So friendly and hilarious! Tests were easy if you do the online questions and practice tests. Go to class for points! He gives great example problems in class. Would definitely take again. Super willing to help. Ask him if you don't understand. You definitely don't need the book or stat crunch. Save your money! His notes were sufficient.
TAKE WERNER! By far the best professor I've ever had at UGA. I did my homework every Wednesday in his office hours and it was great! (he has really extensive office hours, 9am to 9pm) He gives AMAZING handouts in class that are EXACTLY the test. He is willing to help you, you just have to ask! Also, his videos in class are adorable
This class was very hard for me but I've never taken any kind of stat class before. I don't go to lecture because I've learned that I can self teach better than lecture teaches me. If you do go to all the classes you get 5% attendance grade, otherwise that's just made up by your test average. He averages the lowest test grade with test 4.
As long as you do the homework and practice quizzes, you'll be fine. He does take attendance, but you can replace the attendance grade with your test average. I stopped going to class after the first test because it wasn't really necessary Really nice professor that does want to help you as much as possible. He really loves stats and teaching.
Enroll in this class with this professor over ANY OTHER. He 's great at explaining things, gives snacks in class, and ensures that you really understand him. If you don't understand, just ask! He's great at responding to emails and is awesome in office hours!
Loved this guy. He's kinda dorky but he knows it. Uses videos and random voice-overs to keep you interested. He even danced one time it was hilarious. Once a week homework but its easy, literally teaches you how to do all of the problems, and the tests are just like it. If you study and go to class, should definitely get an A.
Werner was great. He was always there when you need it and taught the material well, although he has a stutter and an accent which makes him a little tough to understand. GO TO CLASS. My grade suffered because I tried to teach myself the material, and it didn't work out. Would've been fine if I had gone to class.
Currently in his class and I could not ask for a better teacher so far. Kind, uses awesome videos to help remember concepts, I feel like I can actually enjoy linear regression, and fair grader. nothing to not like tbh
Currently in his class and just got our first test back. It was a take-home test and everybody passed. He is a very fair grader, gives AWESOME notes, doesn't make you read/buy the book, his homeworks do not take very long, and he is hilarious. Definitely the best statistics teacher at UGA.
Dr. Werner is a great teacher he explains everything very well during lectures. Don't need a textbook or attendance (uses HW grade as attendance).
Werner is, hands down, one of UGA's best professors. He's part of that rare group who is friendly, engaging, clear, and would help you in a second if you asked him. Watch out for Test 2; it's a little tricky, but I underprepared for it. If I could take him for every class, I absolutely would.
Dr Werner cares about students' success - he wants you to pass. He hands out GREAT notes. He does have an accent, and he talks really fast, plus he is prone to mistakes on the board. But if you can get past those things, you'll pass. He usually has a cool video to show in class, and always includes funny cartoons on the homework handouts and online
Dr. Werner is one of the most polite human beings I have ever come across. He makes an effort to learn every student's name. He does a phenomenal job explaining the material and is very flexible. He is accessible outside of office hours. He has a lot of fun real world applications as well. I would take any class he teaches.
Lectures are important, but he goes over the material several times and makes sure everyone understands it. Good if you have to skip class every once and a while. It's easy to catch up. 3 tests and optional final. Shows funny videos in class. He's nerdy in a great way. Great man and a great teacher.
Such a sweet professor. He is the best for MSIT it seems.
Mark Werner made this class very enjoyable and actually made me want to go to class. He doesn't take attendance, but I still went because of his quirky personality and the funny videos he showed that were helpful in learning the material. Take Werner out of the 3 MSIT professors if you can.
Mark made MSIT great again! Dr. Werner's format during lecture is good. He has a boring PowerPoint, mixes in funny videos that he edits himself, and does practice problems. He can clarify the material very well, so go to class even though it is not required.
Class is boring and mundane and he tries to ask questions but nobody participates. Tests are straight from WebAssign (which is assigned every week). Pretty painless course.
This guy is the best teacher I've ever had. He cares more about his students then any teacher I've ever had. He is truly a very special teacher and guy and deserves multiple recognitions for what he is doing. He is how every teacher should be. 100% WOULD TAKE HIM AGAIN!!!!!
I LOVE PROFESSOR WERNER
Mr. Werner is absolutely hilarious, and he has a video for almost every lecture. He's very enthusiastic & passionate about what he's teaching. He genuinely cares for his students. The class is what you make of it, though. To get an A, you really do need to go to class, do the homework, and study study study for those exams. He doesn't curve!
Werner is such a sweet professor! He cares for his students and is helpful in and out of class. Although he talks a little fast and has an accent, I would definitely take him again. Easy A if you do the homework and practice tests
This professor is as laid back as it gets. Attendance is not mandatory, nor necessary really. I didn't go to class very much and still managed to master all the material by using the power points online. Lots of practice is available online as well and practice is the key to success on the tests. Do all HW & practice tests and you should be fine.
Dr. Werner will go out of his way to help-- meeting late week nights, after class, and even sundays. He tries many different ways to help you understand the material and is so understanding. He's a great man!!
I cannot say enough nice things about Mr. Werner. He's a wonderful teacher. Tells you exactly what you need to know for the tests and does so in a way that's straight-forward and to the point. He's really nice and always willing to help you. Sometimes brings candy to class and shows a lot of funny videos. Responds to emails quickly and politely.
He's one of the greatest professors at UGA. Definitely take him. He's extremely helpful and explains things so everyone understands.
Dr. Werner is wonderful! I had a different professor who taught us for 4/5 of the semester, but she had to leave due to maternity. Despite the fact that I had a different professor, Dr. Werner substituted for my original professor and he was great! I wish I had him the whole semester; I think the class would have been much easier with him.
I had a great time in Mr. Werner's class! He always has very informative and straight-forward lectures and his practice problems are very useful for test studying. Put in the effort and you're sure to get a good grade!
Amazing prof! Dr. Werner is hilarious - I actually looked forward to coming to his class each day! The material was very manageable and I learned a lot too. Teaches from power points and walks through example problems in class. Very accessible. Definitely second the comments below...
Amazing professor! Lectures can get a little boring but nearly every class he has a funny video summing up that days lessons so its worth it. DO THE PRACTICE TESTS. If you can do well on homework and practice tests you will do well on the exams. He is always available when you need him outside of class for office hours
Werner is easily one of the best professors at UGA. He is so caring, genuine, and wants to see his students succeed. He will meet outside of class time, and even on weekends for office hours. Attendance in not mandatory, but you'll want to go if you have him. Literally the sweetest human being on this planet.
HE IS SO AMAZING. He is so willing to work with you if you ever have questions (which you usually don't) and he will do anything to make sure you do well. I emailed him the day after homework was due because I couldn't finish it and he gave me a 2 day extension without question. He is truly the best teacher ever. You want to get an A just for him.
Wow, there is something about Professor Werner that makes you want to come to class. He is such a genuine, passionate, kind hearted human being. He is so invested in students and it just makes you want to hug him. He is such a good person and a great teacher.
Literally an angel. Don't take anyone else. He is super super nice and helpful, and is extremely accessible outside of class. The class is not too hard.
By far my favorite professor that I have had so far at UGA. He is so caring and kind. He's adorable and genuinely wants every one of his students to succeed. He's willing to accommodate any issues students may have like late work. He makes himself very available to students and literally pays for funny and relatable videos to be made. HE ROCKS!
Werner is great! He explains things so they are easy to understand and he shows a lot of funny videos. You can tell he loves stat which is fun. HW is easy and the tests are easy if you understand what's going on. Final is optional if you like your grade.
Werner is amazing! He works so hard to make the class interesting always showing funny videos and memes to try to explain the concepts. He cares about his students so much often offering to help go over homework with you if you're struggling or even push deadlines if you need to work with him! The homework easy and the tests aren't too bad.
Very easy course. I took AP Stat in high school, and there was no new material throughout this entire course. I stopped going after the first week and still got an A in the class. Easy exams and no attendance requirement.
Great teacher. Homework and exams are a department wide thing. But he is very helpful when it comes to asking questions and being understanding of late homework to grant extensions.
Werner is by far one of the best professors I've ever taken. He's a truly caring and helpful guy and he wants his students to succeed. Attendance isn't mandatory and the class is fairly easy if you do all of the homework and practice tests. I would definitely take him again!
Werner is the best human ever. He cares so much about his students--always willing to extend hw or meet with you even late at night to make sure you get a good grade. You don't have to go to class at all to get an A, but I always did because he was worth it. Tests can be tricky and count for a lot but his powerpoints have all the info you need.
Dr. Werner is such a nice guy, who obviously wants to help his students learn. He is also hilarious (he dressed up on Halloween). The class is not bad, just do all the test practices on webassign and you'll be fine.
Extremely nice and helpful professor who truly cares for his students. He'll do as much as he can to help you do well in the class. Class and tests aren't too bad!
Only attended the first class (add/drop week) and never went again, got an A. Just make sure you study for a couple hours for the test.
LOVE THIS MAN, he's so passionate about MSIT and its so obvious. Lectures are boring and you really don't need to go to class because all we did was go through notes. He tries to make the material interesting as possible though, sweetest man ever take him if you can
Dr. Werner is the sweetest man. One time Webassign graded my test incorrectly because of a rounding issue and he fixed it as I was standing there. I will say to not be deceived by the first test. The second test is considerably harder, so don't underestimate it.
Best professor I've ever had at UGA. Extremely do-able homework and tests, however some work is necessary to make an A. Dr. Werner went out of his way on multiple occasions to meet with me and make sure that I understood material. If I could take him again, I most certainly would.
Take Werner. He is a kind and friendly professor. He's really wants his students to do well in his class. He's available outside of class all the time. Just do what he says and get extra help when you need it and this class will be an easy A.
Werner is a great professor that does his best to make class engaging and understandable. He's pretty geeky and is very into this subject, so he gladly meets with students outside of class to go over concepts. Attendance isn't mandatory, but please don't let his class be empty towards the end of the semester, he's too pure and doesn't deserve that.
Literally the sweetest and most caring professor. If you get the chance to Mark Werner, take him!! He is so accessible and literally the kindest professor I have ever had. His class is easy, and he really wants to make sure his students understand and do well. Love him
THE BEST. He is literally the sweetest human ever. Class is just a whole bunch of funny videos explaining stat, so class is kinda pointless, and all notes are on eLC. i never went, just looked through the notes, did webassigns, and showed up to tests. He is willing to extend webassigns anytime and responds so fast. Amazing teacher!
The teacher is great, and the material is super easy. Take a couple hours before the test to understand the homework and you'll get an A.
Overall great teacher. Material is not hard as long as you put a little time into what's in front of you. Took a little adapting for me since it was an online class, but overall it's very evident he has a strong passion for what he teaches. 10/10, would definitely take another class with him again.
Great teacher. Replied to emails within the same day and helped students if they could not figure out a project.
if you took AP Stat in high school and did well/vaguely remember then you can get an A in this class and never go to class once. Werner is a super nice dude, theres just no point in me going to class bc all his notes are online and I can teach myself the material since i learned it in high school
I have never seen someone with such enthusiasm and dedication to students. He puts so much effort into the class, and he makes each class as fun and educational as possible. He also took the class out to dinner at a restaurant of our choosing. He found ways to make the material as comprehensible as possible. If you can take his class, you should.
I highly recommend taking Dr. Werner's class! While his lectures are a little bit on the boring side (it's stat) his enthusiasm for the material definitely makes up for it. He uses funny videos to make the lectures more entertaining and puts in the extra effort to make his students succeed. If you need to take this class, take it with Dr. Werner!
Dr. Werner is the best!!! He is super passionate about the material and he will go out of his way to make sure you understand it. Sweetest professor at UGA!
Super flexible and caring and wants you to do well. He doesn't care if you don't come to class and puts all his notes online. If you took AP stat in high school, you can easily get away with reading the powerpoint on your own and doing the hw. Do the practice tests to study. He also gives options of when you want to take the tests during the week.
Prof Werner was great at trying to make a dry subject more interesting. Figuring out how to use JMP at first was difficult, but after a while you get the hang of it. Prof Werner really cared about the subject and us as students and I appreciated the effort he put forth in his lectures.
He is helpful and acesible outside the class. But, lectures are boring and long. He is not good at explaining the materials. Tests are heavy and includes questions that does not discussed in the class. I learned most of the materials by going to Dr. Case class.
Very dry subject, but he tries to make it interesting. The subject is rather hard if you've never taken an intro stat class and you really have to work to get a good grade in the class. Otherwise, he's a lovely person and gives really great feedback on your projects! Tests are a beast though and figuring out how to use JMP is half the battle.
Werner is amazing. It is a boring subject but he really tries his best to keep it exciting with funny examples and videos in class. Homework is minimal, and the tests are do require you put in effort, you are given so much material to prepare so nothing is a surprise. He's the best, and I would highly recommend taking him!
This is my second class with Dr. Werner and he is genuinely the best and most caring professor I have ever had. He is so passionate about what he is teaching and is very interested in all of his students learning, enjoying the subject, and doing well in the course. Posts all class notes on elc. I wish I could take every class in my minor with him!!
Dr. Werner was great! Homework was easy and did most of it during class. Tests are take home and very similar to homework questions. He always tries to make class interesting by starting off with some interesting video or article. He grades super fast! Homework or tests would be due Saturday night and hed have them graded and in our hands Monday.
extremely nice and ready to help you whenever you are confused. Great professor
This class is kind of boring (and repetitive if you've taken regular statistics), but he tries his best to keep you interested during class! Slides are detailed and posted on eLC. All the tests are online and are typically easier than the practice tests (which are also online). Really sweet professor!
Lecturers are kind of boring except the videos. He is trying his best though.
Professor Werner is the best! I actually had another professor for MSIT 3000 but I was really struggling and came to him for help. His slides are super informative and he is willing to help you understand concepts whenever, especially if you have never taken stat. I was not even his student and he really cared to make sure I understood everything!
he's literally so nice and is willing to help outside of class so you understand it. it isn't the most exciting material but he plays funny videos and tries to make it more fun. the material isn't hard if you do the hw and class questions. definitely take him he's so sweet!
Don't really remember this course too clearly since I took it last year, but he made stat totally doable (for someone like me who hates stat and math and sucks at both). If I remember, there was webassign and he seemed pretty chill. Recommend taking it online over the summer!
Werner is a great person, he is fun, excited about stat, and is very understanding. I highly recommend taking him but beware if you aren't good at statistics this is not a walk in the park. He does post all his powerpoints on ELC which is a huge help if you dont go to class.
If you have to take stat, take Dr. Werner because they all teach the same thing with same homeworks and tests. Will often bring videos to class which makes it go by faster. He goes over questions every class that are extremely useful homeworks and tests. Tests can be kind of tricky but if you study everything he gives you, you'll be fine.
Dr. Werner is literally the nicest guy ever. Do all the homework and study for tests and you'll do fine.
Werner was a great professor, but there was really no need to go to class. All lecture notes are posted online. Tests are on Webassign and are very similar to the practice tests. There can be a few tricky questions on each test, but it is not hard to get an A.
One of the best professors I've ever had! He's extremely caring and changes around the grading rubric percentages to give you the best possible grade. His powerpoint give you everything you need to know and are so organized. Go to class, study the powerpoints/hw and do all the practice he gives you and you'll do fine!
This professor was super caring and sweet of student needs. His class is fairly easy if you've taken any kind of college or AP stat. Tests are on Webassign, and he gives us many different time slots to take it.
Really likeable, one of the professors who really feels like they are giving their all. Remarkably relaxed, makes an effort to engage students. Material is kind of dull, but he definitely makes it better.
Prof. Werner is the nicest professor. The material is not very interesting but he tries his best to keep the class involved. He does his best to help you understand if youre confused. He hold office hours everyday. The tests are somewhat hard but theyre still doable. Every conceptual answer can be found on ELC and calculations on Web assign.
He is a nice guy, but this was a really boring class. Sometimes it was hard to hear him properly, I felt like he was teaching to the screen.
Such a sweet man. Sent a personal email after every test and at the end of the semester explaining why you got the grade you did. He was so encouraging. Best online (due to COVID) class I have had. Easy material if you have even somewhat of a foundation in regression. Super prompt at grading too.
Im currently in Dr. Werner's Stat 3110 class and couldn't be happier about having him as my professor. He bases his tests off the practice tests and allows for open note tests. He spends hours out of class making short clips relating to statistics to popular tv shows to make learning more fun and the topics more relatable. Best Teacher I've had!
I took his class bc he had good reviews but he was very ineffective at teaching the materials. I started skipping the class and started learning by my self. WebAssign assignments was really helpful and tests were very similar to practice questions. So it was not hard to get a good grade.
He means well and is probably a great professor under normal circumstances, but during the COVID era it was difficult to learn. Not a terrible class and not a terrible teacher. Everyone is trying to adapt to online, professors included.
The best MSIT professor. Power points clearly explain concepts and lectures help as well. Easy A if you put in minimal effort.
TAKE Dr. Werner if you can. He was extremely adapting during COVID and will work with you if you need more time on an assignment. He even made STAT 3110 more applicable to genetics major, which I really appreciate. 10/10
He is a good teacher and the material is not that difficult, mainly because it was all open note. Definitely take him.
Dr. Werner is the best professor I have had in college! He is very helpful and makes himself available to answer any questions that you may have concerning the material. If you put in the required effort, you should do reasonably well. His powerpoints, homework assignments, and practice tests are also similar to the exams, so study them closely!
very nice guy. I was nervous about this class since I had never taken statistics, but professor Warner assured me. The class is average difficulty, lots of homework and an optional final with 3 tests and 3 quizzes. Tests are open note. He provides lots of practice tests and problems. I studied for about 1 hour each night and got an A in the class.
super nice guy. he follows the same format as most of the other msit profs so skoolers will help for him. they added quizzes this year to help balance out weighting which probably made it easier. homework is not hard and very helpful for tests/quizzes. optional final that i did not take. always willing to help but really not too tough of a class.
Was a great class. You don't even have to really attend class if you grasp this kind of material easily. Take notes and really try on the hw and you will get it easily. His powerpoints are super helpful. He also seems really nice and like he cares about his students.
Professor Werner is probably the nicest professor I've ever had. He really cares and makes a huge effort to make the lectures interesting and more fun. He also is more than happy to extend your homework deadlines and is very flexible with when you take your tests and quizzes. Take Werner if you get the chance!!!!
He is the best professor ever. He is so caring and is willing to help everyone out. His quizzes and exams are similar to homework questions, so you will get an easy A if you do your homework. Take him if you can.
Mark Werner was an excellent Professor, he helped me every week with my homework, made sure I was ready for the tests and quizzes, and most importantly was a fun professor to learn from. He played the most hilarious videos in class to teach the material and it worked! Mr. Werner is by far the best professor to take a statistics class with.
Dr. Werner absolutely is the best Professor Ive had at UGA. Extremely caring about his students, and always responds to questions enthusiastically. Dont hesitate to ask him about material if youre not sure, he will gladly help you. Great human being, and awesome statistician. Take him, trust me!
Dr. Werner is beyond amazing. He is caring and is willing to help students. I told him that dropped my stat class last year because I'm so bad at anything related to numbers or math, and he checked on me before quizzes and exams to make sure I'm ready for them. Take him if you can!!! He is the best!
Professor Werner is the best. He does not make the material or class harder than it needs to be. He posts the slides so if you miss class you can still access them. The class gets a little hard as the semester goes on but it's not bad at all as long as you keep up with notes and HW. 3 quizzes, 3 tests, and optional final that won't hurt your grade
The best professor i have had at UGA, he's so so kind and caring. If you go to office hours he is so helpful and really cheers you on. I didn't really attend lecture but i learned through trial and error of the homework. Highly recommend taking his class.
Amazing prof with great lectures where he actually teaches. Notes were his own so no textbook needed and homework/exams were very fair (take home as well). He has funny lectures and was able to answer questions/troubleshoot R code with students too. Thoroughly enjoyed his class and thinking about taking 4240 with him too.
Dr. Werner is now easily one of my favorite professors at UGA. He makes his class on regression analysis fun and interesting, which speaks volumes on his ability to engage with students. Fair grader. Thorough lecture notes. And great at answering questions. Absolutely nothing to complain about! Hoping I can take another one of his classes.
Dr. Werner is a wonderful professor who will work with you as long as you are upfront with him first. His lectures can be a bit long on Tuesday/Thursdays but attendance is not mandatory and review is always posted online. One test can make or break your grade but he does an excellent job at being straightforward.
Prof Werner is super cool. He is available most of the time outside of class and he will try his hardest in order for you to understand the material. He also makes study guides and goes through in-class before quizzes and tests which helps a lot. I would 100% take him again.
Great professor that thoroughly explains all material. Not hard if you do the practice tests.
Dr. Werner is a great professor who takes the time to listen to his students and help them outside of class. He does not make you buy a textbook and attendance is not mandatory.
Homework once every 2 weeks, give or take. PLENTY of practice problems in addition to HW. Slides & in-class practice are posted to eLC; there's really no point to go unless you have trouble with material or won't do work otherwise. Class is boring except when he brings out Fiverr. Tests 70%; optional final can only help you. Overall, easy A.
BUSN 3000 was a very interesting course thanks to Professor Werner. Homework was preparation for the quizzes and tests, which were good if you studied well. Open note quizzes and in person tests, make sure to come to class and take notes even though he puts the powerpoints on ELC.
Prof Werner is awesome. Very caring and accessible. He provides all his own notes and plenty of practice before the tests and quizzes! Do the practice tests and you will do great!
I would sacrifice my life for this man. He is one of the most caring and sweetest professors I have ever had. I never went to class (lectures are posted online) and ended up with an A. STRONGLY recommend.
During my entire time spent in college, I've never encountered a more caring professor like Werner! He is always looking out for his students making sure they get the most out of his class. He will quite literally go out of his way to help you succeed. I loved his class. He is an absolute sweetheart. TAKE HIM!
I'd already taken another stats class before taking this course so I found this course to be really easy. Although I feel like I had forgotten most of the material and the professor was really good at explaining. Loved this professor, one of my favorites. I recommend and I would definitely would take again! TAKE HIM, I PROMISE!
Professor Werner genuinely wants you to succeed in this class! I honestly couldn't reccomend him hire and if you have the option to take him you should!
This is the sweetest man alive. He is so funny in his lectures and he tries to stay engaged with him. The homework is easy if you pay attention and test are almost exactly like the homework and quizzes. Such a good professor!
I. LOVE. HIM. Not only is he as sweet as can be, but he enjoys what he is teaching and makes sure everyone understands before continuing. Hands down one of my favorite professors at uga. TAKE HIM.
Dr. Werner is probably one of my favorite professors at UGA. I absolutely hate statistics but his class was actually enjoyable. I never went to class and simply read his slides. homework was straightforward. quizzes and exams were very similar to practice exams. very understanding of personal struggles and is willing to help if you reach out.
Werner is honestly one of the most caring professors I have ever had. He is super funny. Lectures can seem a little slower at times, but he is just making sure everybody understands which I appreciate. Tests are pretty straightforward, just make sure to do the optional test practice and you'll be fine. Don't underestimate the quizzes though. 10/10!
I loved Dr. Werner, and I personally really enjoyed his class!!! If you didn't take AP stats in high school, you might find this class difficult but I promise Werner will make it at least semi-enjoyable. You have a homework assignment for each unit but each question gives you 4 attempts to get it right. 3 quizzes, 3 tests, and an optional final.
Do yourself the biggest favor, and take Werner for BUSN 3000! If you're struggling or even dealing with personal things, please ask for help. He is the kindest professor ever and just wants everyone to do well. He puts effort into making the class fun, and the workload isn't much at all. Just work practice problems for the tests and quizzes.
Professor Werner is the best! He actually makes STAT applicable to genetics careers and he really wants to get to know his students. He is caring and the tests are very doable.
Amazing professor. I had a million things going on this semester and still did better than I ever thought possible because he's understanding and works with you to make sure you succeed. exams are very straightforward if you do practice problems that he posts online. homework is due every week but usually pretty easy to do in a couple of hours.
Amazing professor. I wish I could take another class with him. He makes it so easy for you to get the best grade. I did not take the final, and I got a 99 in the class. Ridiculously easy and the best teacher I have had.
Professor Werner is super cool. Easy class and attendance is optional, and when I did go to class he was always super nice. The powerpoints get a little bit confusing, but you just have to do the homework and practice tests. Everything is pretty much on webassign, so I would just go over the powerpoints and study the practice tests and homework.
Lecturers are long and boring. I stopped going to the class after first test. The online videos are helpful. He sometimes confuses himself with concepts, but soon gets on the right track.
Favorite professor at UGA so far, highly recommend for Stat 4230
Absolutely one of the best professors at UGA. He really cares about his students and wants them to do well. He does problems in class and loves to post gifs that talk about statistics. This course was a bit more difficult than 3110 for me, but he was incredibly helpful and even bumped up my grade in the end. He was very kind and everyone loves him.
Teacher really cares about his students. Class is not mandatory but easy to fall behind if you don't go -- even though he posts everything online. He is so funny and actually tries to get to know everyone.
Professor Werner is the most caring teacher I have had at Georgia. Even though his class is all lecture based, he keeps students engaged. Werner genuinely cares about his students. Additionally, his class is weighted fairly between tests and homework. He provides all the material you need to do well. He is awesome.
He is awesome. Take him if you get the chance. Class is not mandatory and a lot of people do not go to BUSN3000, but if you go, he shows in class examples that help you understand the concepts. One of my favorite professors at UGA.
Dr. Werner is fun, caring, and an easy professor. He cares about his students, and is a very easy grader. The class was easy, and he was always available to give as much help as you needed. Attendance was not mandatory, and we only had a few homework assignments. No final exam either, just a project. He also brought treats and was extremely kind.
Great professor! I had him this past fall semester and am planning to end with a B+. If the material does not come easy the first time in class he will gladly try to answer if you ask questions. He is also quick to respond to emails and gives great help. Attendance is not a grade, but I would go. I would take him again. The Final is optional.
Hands down one of the most caring professors I've had. He is a fast responder via email. Homework was due every week with 3 tests throughout the semester. Quizzes throughout the semester and done outside of class. Final is optional. Attendance is not taken but in order to be successful, go and participate.
The best. He's so adorable and cares so much about students. I recommend going to class, so concepts are clear, but it's not mandatory.
Such a nice guy & very fair class. All of the BUSN classes are the same, but he definitely makes it enjoyable.
Dr. Werner is an amazing teacher. Attendance is optional, but you get snacks and funny stat-themed videos if you go. First test is easy, but class ramps up after that. Definitely recommend
THE SWEETEST MAN ALIVE. omg if you can take this class w him take it, hes the cutest man alive and genuinely cares that you enjoy the course material and understand it.
A wonderful professor! Empathetic, helpful, funny, and great at teaching the material.
SUPER AWESOME professor. The material we have to learn can be a bit monotonous, but he always tries to involve the class and make his lectures interesting. He cares about your learning style, about your other class exams/course work, and constantly is creating an environment that encourages a healthy work/life balance.
This is a highly overrated class with Dr. Werner. Lecturers are redundant and feel long and boring mostly involve going through the PowerPoint and solving problems. Best part of the course is the WebAssign and the practice questions. He gives you multiple attempts for the HW, and the practice questions are very similar to the exam questions!!
AMAZING professor. Makes class really fun and truly cares about his students and wants everyone to understand the material. If you go to class and do the homework, the quizzes and tests aren't bad at all. Super high energy and made class fun!
Don't even consider looking at another professor for BUSN3000. Werner is the BEST professor at UGA! Material can be difficult to digest, but he makes it fun and truly cares for his students. You'll use WebAssign for HW, quizzes (at home), and exams, and it fully prepares you for the exam! TAKE WERNER!!!!
Have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Werner! He tries to make lectures fun with funny videos and class participation but most importantly he really wants you to succeed. He will always answer your questions either in-person or via email and was overall just a really great teacher. Highly recommend taking him.
The most caring professor! Such an adorable & sweet man! Definitely take him over the other professors. The material can be difficult sometimes. However, it's most definitely an easy A class as long as you study ahead of time & show up to class to learn how to use the statistical sftware (JMP). He brings snack if you show up!
The sweetest, the most well-meaning, and the most qualified professor you could take. Truly cares about your success both in his class and others. Takes time to remember names. Tries hard to make the class engaging and relevant to all. Always takes the first part of class to give out snacks and discuss pop culture. Overall very cool guy!!
This dude is just flat out awesome. He is so nice and caring and willing to help you succeed if you are struggling to grasp the concepts. Honestly the professor for BUSS 3000 does not matter at all this class is just Web-assign and JMP, just do the practice test multiple times and the quizzes to succeed.
If you're taking BUSN3000, take him. He's truly amazing. Homeworks are easy (you have multiple submissions). Attendance isn't required, however, do not miss the first few classes (learn how to operate JMP). JMP is easy. Other than that, do the practice tests/quizzes and the test will be easy.
If I could take him again I would. He was super nice and very helpful outside of class time. You are graded solely on HW, 3 tests, and an optional final. He made his slides very easy to understand, and he even has practice tests that you can do that are VERY helpful.
He is the best Professor ever. He is super hilarious and helpful. He made his slides easy to understand. Multiple submissions for homework. He is super energetic in class. Love him so much.
Dr. Werner is the best professor for BUSN 3000. He cares about his students and makes an effort to learn everyone's names in a 150 person lecture. Content can be challenging but Werner is accessible and does his best to explain it simply. Do the practice tests and study hard and you don't have to go to class, but he's so nice you'll want to :)
Mr. Werner is an amazing professor and he cares so much about his students. The class is very easy just make sure to attend the lectures and do the practice exams on JMP. Definitely would take this class again!
Extremely easy class. Werner was extremely nice and all the information you needed to know for his tests was on his PowerPoints so you did not even have to show up to class. If you did, he occasionally gave out snacks though.
Nicest man ever. Do not really need to go to class, I basically just used the notes to figure out homeworks then I was 100% ready for tests and quizzes. If you go to class though, he brings candy a lot!
ADORABLE GUY!! He is so sweet but lectures are boring and hard to follow. Doesn't really matter what BUSN prof you take though, everyone is graded by the same stuff. Do the practice exams because they are very similar to the actual exams. HW was once a week, everything (quizzes, hw, tests) is through webassign. I'd cram study everytime and do well
Dr. Werner is awesome. He does post notes and plenty of practice before quizzes and tests. It's not super test-heavy and honestly really easy, especially if you go to lectures (I did not). He's also HILARIOUS. He makes these little videos that he shows at the beginning of class about the topic of the day that my classmates talk abt for days.
Dr. Werner is amazing, and easily the most caring and helpful professors at UGA. You can ask him anything, and he answers compassionately and goes through things step by step. It's already an easy class, but seriously, oen of the best professors at UGA.
Dr. Werner is the best professor I've had at UGA. He cares about his students and brings cookies to brighten our Monday morning. If you submit before a deadline he gives feedback and allows resubmissions before the deadline. Tests are fairly easy and attendance isn't required. Highly recommend! I've had him for three classes!
Best statistics professor I have ever had! He always got the class involved with the material in a fun way. Usually, he printed out extra copies of the worksheets/quiz reviews, which was really helpful for in-class learning. The extra practice and self-test questions were really helpful for test reviews. The professor cares about what he teaches!
Super nice guy, very enthusiastic about the topic. He feels very approachable and understanding. He taught the material well without giving too much homework or worrying about attendance, this class was not stressful at all. He is super funny, shows videos and memes during class. Take his class if you can, anybody will love this guy.
Werner is an amazing professor!! He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He goes through the material clearly in class and its available on eLC.
Dr. Werner is a nice guy, but the lectures are pretty boring. I stopped going to the class after the first test and only did practice questions and practice tests.
The most understanding and caring professor I have ever had. He explains the material very well, and he is hilarious. He makes more than enough time for students outside of class by offering in person extra help as well as online zoom extra help. Super sweet and encouraging!
He is such a wonderful professor! So caring, so understanding, and replies to emails within 30 mins to an hour. His tests are also just like his practice tests. Overall, an amazing teacher!
Professor Werner is a super nice guy who makes the material engaging. While lectures can be a bit dry, the practice questions and tests are straightforward. unstuck ai was a lifesaver for extra prep!
Dr. Werner made a non-mandatory class enjoyable to go to. The grading scale was the same for all sections of this course, but he definitely made it easier than others. Overall, one of the best professors I have had in college. Your grade is how much you apply yourself.
Genuinely the nicest professor I've ever had. Weekly homework, but he lets you resubmit if you didn't get 100 the first time. He's answered every email almost instantly. he made us cookies! He loves stat and can explain things well.
Extremely hard to understand. Class is not mandatory and no one goes. Tests are just like the quizzes, and I don't think the professors matter that much for this class. Would potentially take someone else for this course.
Dr. Werner is amazing! His in class reviews are super helpful for the text and quizzes (along with the online homework). Criteria is laid out clearly. In class, Dr. Werner takes the time to get to know everyone who comes to class - and will really look out for you if you do attend! He always plays funny videos and sometimes passes out dessert.
Everything he does comes from kindness. From the way he tailors each class to the majors and career goals of his current class, to the kind messages throughout his homeworks, lessons, and even exams, to baking his students sweets and hosting class dinners, I have never had a professor like him before and I don't think I ever will again.
Dr. D is amazing! His in class reviews are super helpful and always knows how to make the difficult concepts easy to understand. He plays funny videos and do fun activities in class. He also provides lots of materials to help you succeed.
This course is super cut and dry, easiest class required to apply to Terry. All you need to pass the tests and quizzes is to do the homework and practice tests. The lectures are a little long winded and don't really blow you away with content but get sort of monotonous, but Werner brings good energy. Sounds confusing at times when speaking fast.
Love love love Professor Werner!! Easily the goofiest, funniest professor I've had so far during my time at UGA. Attendance wasn't mandatory but his personality made me actually want to go to class. As far as the course material, it gets exponentially harder after the first test so definitely don't slack off after you ace the first one.
STAT 3120: Attendance isn't mandatory but I went anyways because of how nice of a person he was. He allows you to resubmit the hw after its been graded so theres no excuse to not get a 100 (make sure you turn it in early). Exams are copy/paste of the practice exam so go to class the day before exams because he doesn't post the key. Highly recommend
Dr. Werner is so sweet and compassionate. He is so genuine, straightforward, and kind. He gives out so many treats/snacks and does whacky/funny things to cheer up the class like dressing up and dancing. The class is super easy and exams are 1 for 1 with materials/lectures and practice stuff done in class. PLEASE go to class, Werner is so so nice.
Sweetest professor, HW are easy and less time consuming (30 minutes maybe), tests are similar to practice exams and HW. Class is based off how much you practice the math and materials and not on the conceptual. Quizzes only 3 are also based off homework practice, practice, practice. Overall take him he will email quickly, and he cares for all!!
One of the best professors at UGA. He cares a lot about his students and emails back very quickly. The class itself is not hard and the homework is all you need for the exams. I would take him again if I could!
Werner is the GOAT. His lectures are great and always accurately reflect the exams. Out-of-class assignments are also extremely similar to the exams, so it's easy to be well-prepared. Most of all, Werner is the nicest man ever and checks in on his students after every exam.
Professor Werner is awesome. He's got a great sense of humor and really knows how to keep the class fun. If you stay on top of WebAssign and do the practice tests, you'll be set. He goes out of his way to make the class enjoyable by handing out free candy or doing something wacky and ridiculous to lighten the mood.
My favorite professor at UGA so far. He is extremely accessible and makes the class very understandable. The class is also easier if you go to class, which I recommend since he often gives out food and dances in class.
Amazing professor hands down, he tries to make the class extremely engaging and is always available to help students that are struggling, definitely the best teacher for BUSN 3000.
My favorite professor so far at UGA. He is great! He makes the lectures so interesting and attendance isn't required but a lot of the time I wanted to go to his class anyway.
Mr. Werner is simply one of the sweetest professors I have ever had. He is so caring and understanding toward all of his students and works to make class enjoyable. If you follow along in class, you will do great. This class has a very light work load. I highly recommend taking him.
Mr. Werner is a fantastic professor and always comes to class with a smile. He makes lectures fun and exciting and even baked the classes cookies one day. He shows students a lot of attention and does his best to learn everyone's names. Class overall is very easy as long as you go to lectures and follow his practices.
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. At first I was nervous because math isn't my strongest subject, but he makes it sooo easy. All the notes are exactly what s on the homework and tests. If you do the practice tests, homework, and unit assignments you will do amazing! He is so nice and energetic. He gives out food and his videos are funny/ interesting.
Very sweet and goofy. Always gives out snacks. I find him a little hard to understand sometimes because he talks quickly. I felt bad that people don't answer his questions. :( Goes over most of the homework (25%) in class before it's due. Two take-home tests (30% each). One final group project (15%). Attendance not required. Notes posted on eLC.
Professor Werner feels like someone who likes his job, he comes into class excited and does a great job on making lectures interesting and entertaining. He often gives out snacks before class starts and breaks out into dance. I would move my schedule around specifically to take his class again.
Werner is incredibly enthusiastic. He takes great care in making sure people are following along to his lectures. He is so enthusiastic about teaching. His tests and homeworks are easy, great and all connected together. So long as you're paying attention in class (don't just shrug it off) and are consistent on the practice, you'll do well!
Mark Werner was hands down one of the best professors I've ever had - not just because he made statistics bearable, but because he actually made it fun. Somehow, he managed to turn dry concepts into entertaining stories and relatable examples. If every stats class came with snacks and Professor Werner's energy, I'd take it again in a heartbeat
Hands down one of the best and caring professors I've ever taken. Covers quiz and exams material before the assessment and actually makes a boring class interesting. You can tell he wants you to succeed. TAKE HIM!
Mark Werner is the goat. The class itself could not be easier, but he goes out of his way to make it enjoyable. He dances every morning and brings treats every single morning.
Professor Werner has been my favorite Professor I have had so far at UGA. He always comes in with a smile on his face. He goes over numerous examples in class which look like the quizzes and tests. He is always available for questions, he brings cookies and granola bars for those who come to class! Awesome dude!
Professor Werner is actually the goat. he is always in a good mood and explains things very well. he's super chill on assignments and makes sure everyone gets the content.
Dictionary definition of an amazing prof: Dr. Werner. Has tons of practice problems and resources, engaging way of teaching stats with comedy AND serious parts, and goes over SO MANY PRACTICE PROBLEMS in class. If you have room in your schedule, TAKE HIM 100%! It's a pretty "sweet" class.
Does his best to make class entertaining and keep his students engaged. Can confidently say he cares for his students and is lenient. Take him.
Very kind, cares a lot about the material he teaches.
take him! absolute goat
The best professor I've ever had!!! Cares deeply for his students and even took us out to a class dinner!! Seriously cares about how you're doing in the class and also takes interest in you as a person. Very understanding and the best ever!!! Would definitely take his class again!!!
Dr. Werner is the kindest professor I've had at UGA. He genuinely wants the best for his students: he brings in gifts for students' birthdays and would bring us granola bars every day just for coming to class. Sometimes he brought homemade cookies! He makes content understandable and always tries to add videos or memes to make it interesting!
Take him for BUSN3000
Super cool and sweet guy. Cares a lot about his students and just wanted everyone to learn something. Would bring in lots of treats and snacks as rewards for coming to class. I had a hard time understanding what he said sometimes, but it wasn't a huge issue. Grade is just homework, two take-home tests, and a final project that was lowkey cool
The sweetest professor ever! Super caring and really tries to make lectures engaging. Exams are very similar to practice questions and in-person notes. Do yourslef a favor and take his class!
Dr. Werner is the absolute BEST professor I have had for statistics at the University of Georgia. He is funny, presents information to the class in an accessible and easy to understand way, and is just the best person! He cares about students and truly wants you to succeed!! Take his class!!! He is the BEST!!!
I would not recommend this professor for Business Stats. The teaching style is hard to follow, and the material is often presented in a confusing way. Despite the positive reviews, the class feels disorganized. Expect to spend a lot of extra time on your own trying to make sense of the course content.
His lectures are alright, he is very energetic but I have a tough time understanding what he is saying. Good thing the material is not hard to pick up on your own. He does care about his students and is very accessible outside of class.
This class is needlessly hard and complicated but its not Professor Werners fault he is very nice. The material is super confusing and hard to find study material outside of what you are given. This is one of those classes where you ask yourself "when am I ever going to need this". I suggest taking it online if you can, maybe its easier.
Professor Werner is so amazing and really cares about his students. He explains everything really well and tries to give you specific wording that will be on the test. The content is not super exciting but he gives out prizes and dancing every single class. definitely take him for busn 3000
Professor Waner is nice and helpful, but the lectures are kinda boring and hard to follow. You don't really learn much, but the test reviews are basically the same as the real tests. Just memorize them and you'll get an easy A.
I absolutely LOVE him. My favorite professor so far, and he SHOWS he genuinely cares about his students. He makes lectures engaging by showing us funny videos and engaging us in fun activities. He would pass out treats every lecture and holiday surprises. He also remembers his students and sends encouraging, sweet emails after exams! TAKE HIM!!
Werner is the best professor I have ever had. He made the class fun with interesting data sets and is genuinely just an amazing guy who cares a lot about his students. I highly recommend, I think the class criteria is clear and easy to follow.
GOAT of the stat department! Awesome guy, pretty good lecturer who actually cares about what he teaches. Cares about his students a lot, does daily wheel spin prizes for chocolate, emails everybody to get to know him, and dressed up as Spiderman for halloween! Very easy class if you just study with the homework and problems he works out in class.
Content is not interesting but he tries his best to make it as engaging as possible. Simply going to the lectures, and doing the homework should ease your way to a good grade. The tests are also similar to the practice test provided several days before the test.
This class is extremely easy just study right before the test. The professor doesn't really matter bc you have access to all the professors materials.
TAKE HIM! My favorite professor this semester. He actually cares about students
Absolute goat professor, cared about his students deeply and was always accessible outside of class if you needed help.
Course is very easy, and I don't think there's anything hugely wrong with this professor. However, many of the existing comments below seem unusually positive and don't reflect my experience. At times, I found the communication unclear and had to figure out on my own. That said, I would still take him.
Dr. Werner is hands-down the best professor I've had at UGA. He starts class by dancing to get everyone hype, then spins a wheel with our names for a chocolate granola bar. I'd never even introduced myself, yet he still knew my name. He even emails after each exam with encouragement. 10/10. Seriously the most genuine person.
happiest teacher I've ever had, all BUSN3000 has same tests but he is best lecturer to have
He's absolutely so funny and really cares about you on an individual level which not many professors do. He does talk fast and sometimes it's hard to catch on to the material, but he always answers questions and makes sure to do practice in class. He's so sweet and will talk to you if you're concerned.
Great guy teaching an ok class, but he is by far the best at it. He is ready to help with some sometimes confusing concepts. Get Ready to use R-studio, but there are usually only a few things you have to figure out. 10/10 would take again. He also brings snacks to class, what a legend.
Professor Werner was one of the best teachers I have ever had. He truly cares about his students and goes out of his way to make sure class is enjoyable. HW is short, the and tests look identical to the hw. I took AP Stats last year, and this class is pretty identical if not easier. I did not learn anything new in this class. Overall, TAKE WERNER!
he's a nice guy but all of these reviews are not accurate. this class is not an easy A like the reviews say. i studied by butt off for the tests and they were barely like the practice tests that he tells you to use to study. he told my class 90% practice tests and 10% powerpoint when studying. nothing like a required course to drop my GPA
Mark Werner is the easiest busn professor to talk to. He works hard to engage with his students and to try and make his class fun. This semester had some hiccups since it was the first time they introduced the program R into the course, however Mark made it easy to learn and get feedback. He often rounded exams and my overall grade. Take him.
Best professor in the Statistics department. Extremely caring and understanding of his students, lectures are entertaining and worth going to, and homework/tests follow lectures. Very responsive to emails, quickly grades assignments, and for homework allows you to resubmit it based on feedback for a better grade. Take him for any class.
Great Professor, cares very much about his students, gives good feedback. Sometimes a bit hard to understand but makes up for it with great practice tests that are super helpful.
No notes. Entertaining lectures, guided examples, 3 tests with plenty of practice material for them. Homework due about once every week or two, but unlimited attempts on it and feedback when you get it wrong so you can do better on your second attempts. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!!
Great guy took a different teacher for the class who wasn't great but his study materials were super helpful and are what I used for the entire thing. Also he is very responsive via email and has open office hours.
The material itself I found to be difficult, however the tests and homework are pretty identical to what the questions look like on the test. Definitely do the practice tests and go to class because attendance is weighted pretty heavily. Professor Werner himself is amazing and answered all of my emails so personable and thoughtfully.
Professor Werner was by far the most amazing professor to take for BUSN3000!! He truly cares for his students, and is always willing to help you when you have questions about the material. He responds to his emails in a timely fashion, and always gives good feedback about whatever questions you have. I would highly recommend taking this professor!!
