Very responsive prof who is kind & caring. I am appreciative of Prof Matt Lorenzen. He is a great teacher in so many ways. As many here say, he teaches Stats so it is easy to understand & easy to succeed if you put in the effort. I learned so much in this class that I will take with me for the rest of my life. He truly is the Academic Success Guru!

Online lectures, quizzes, discussions, and exams were well formatted and easy to do. Follow his SPSS instructional video identically and you will receive a great grade. Offers 30 points of extra credit. Quizzes and exams are all multiple choice. I recommend this class.

Professor Lorenzen is amazing! I went into this class absolutely terrified and by the time the class was over, I was an expert in statistics and received an A+. He actually responds to email and genuinely wants students to succeed. Super nice guy and fantastic class! Highly recommend!

Probably the worst class I've taken so far. Quizzes felt super difficult to study for. The worst part of it all is the fact that Professor Lorenzen takes 1-2 months to grade assignments. The same can be said with emails. He responded to an email I sent regarding the midterm, and he didn't reply until three weeks before the Final. Would not retake!
