Loved taking Professor Crosswhite's class! I definitely was able to see math in a different light. He clarified concepts that used to confuse me in high school. Class isn't easy, but it is fun. He tries his best to get to know all of his students personally. However, if he sees you're not putting in the work, he will call you out on it.

He made it easy for me to grasp the material. He's the most straightforward professor I've had. He doesn't take roll, doesn't offer extra credit, asks for students to bring ID to exam days (3 exams) and a final. You can tell when he talks that he's chill, kinda funny, and teaches using a powerpoint. He makes you feel that you have a chance to pass.

He's really just a great professor. Honestly, he's the only good math professor I've had a CSUN. He explains stats in a super clear and simple way and seems to enjoy what he's doing. There's a clicker quiz in almost every class but if you do the assignments it's extremely easy. Wish it wasn't online though

I was worried stats was going to be overwhelming but it was honestly the best class I had this semester. I feel like I actually learned something in his class. it wasn't like the intro stats class but he focused on real uses of stats and not formulas and calculations. He really knows his stuff and is very nice and helpful.

Although he is helpful and nice the class is way to fast paced and he will not slow down. He says "exam questions are exactly like on the homework" this is false! It is similar to the lectures but not like the homework. I studied the homework many times and did not start doing good on exams until I taught myself the work.

Prof Crosswhite is a great professor. He is a funny guy. The class was still hard, but he made it doable. Class consisted of many hw assignments, 3 exams, 6 quizzes, project, and the final. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but it's up to you to catch up. I highly recommend you take this professor.

I took him for my CJS 280 class and i would NOT recommend him. He doesn't explain things well and his homework assignments are too much. No matter how well you do on your assignments your grade barely goes up, but the minute you miss an assignment your grade drops like crazy. His final project is 6-7 pages long and complicated.

This class will be easy if you study. I recommend just practicing the homework problems since the quizzes and exams are really similar to those problems. We had 6 quizzes which consisted of 2-3 problems. There's also 3 tests and a final. Make sure to not fall behind and you should do good. Going to lab was helpful for extra review.

Professor Crosswhite is pretty relaxed and keeps things as simple as he can. There was a mix of in-class assignments, homework, exams, and clicker questions. The assignments really help to prepare you for what will be on tests so take his feedback and ask questions. If you ask him to review your assignments for mistakes before you submit, he will.

Homework I found easy which he gives it on pearson. I recommend studying the material in the book a lot and going to tutoring. He also provides office hours.

For an online class with lectures, he is really a gem at CSUN. Unlike other stats prof at CSUN, he basically follows what is covered in the powerpints and sometimes skips some topics too. He says you have to be able to carry yourself with the SPSS, but there were some students who had trouble remembering what to do and he never got mad at them.

Easy class if you just pay attention to his examples and put in an hour or two a week. Gives in-class/homework assignments which are just like examples in lecture. Two exams that are 95% identical to homework problems. Not as easy as other CJS classes but all the others I've taken have been a complete joke.
