Prof. Greenwhich is a nice guy, but his class is kind of hard. I got a C because his quizzes are online and you have to follow a series of steps just to put your answer in, let alone trying to get the RIGHT answer. During class, he likes to go off on tangents about how important things are in life. Find another teacher.

It's hard to follow the series of steps online with his class, and then getting the right answer. I keep getting C's because I would forget to format the question correctly.
Hard tests.
I feel disappointed with CCSN, for hiring such a bad teacher and making us lose our money. Because there is no doubt that you will end up dropping the class. His class is the most unclear I ever had.
find another teacher
Gave online quizzes for an in-class course. A little hard, but he has high expectations.
Very nice man, HOWEVER, you must avoid this class! The entire "book" as well as the quizzes for the class are on WebCT. He wrote the book and it is not organized in a clear way that would make it possible to learn anything. Most of the class time was spent talking about his personal matters and that didn't help with learning statistics.
If you are a person that really does not do well in Math, do not take a class from him. He assumes that all students should understand what he says, he does not take into consideration that we are learning. I love Math but it took me awhile to get back in a class after this experience.
DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!!!!! His online quizzes are hard and if you make any tiny mistake, you get the whole answer WRONG. :(
I received an A in this DE class.This the WORST class I have ever taken.The textbook,written by the instructor,is filled with grammatical and technical errors.I have a 4.0 math and science GPA (including pre-calculus),so I knew how to sort through the garbage.Midterm and final exams are nightmares and designed to confuse!CSN should be ashamed.
Don't bother, you'll drop anyway..take someone else if you want to avoid the hassle..
calls himself a "country bumpkin math wiz." he wastes alot of time talking about himswlf. test are very hard and online. AVOID him!!!
This was a horrible course to take online. The tests were very difficult, a lot of quizzes (also difficult). Not enough notes, no online chat to communicate live with the instructor. I passed barely, and I did all the homework(even though it wasn't required).The CD from the book was a more helpful teaching aid.
This professor is fine as a teacher.I took him for the summer semester & he is similar to the online course instructors.If you have a problem and email him directly he will get back with you.I even had an answer that was correct on a quiz & it got marked wrong.I emailed him and he fixed it. As with all online course you basically teach yourself.
test and quizes are hard but everything else to me is fine
Mr. Greenwich is extremely helpful when you ask him for help. He's willing to take time to help with a problem you don't understand. The quizzes are online, they're sort of difficult, but you can ask for help. The tests are HARD and in class. You can use a calculator though.
okay so i recommend NOT to take this professor if you are not good at math. He is difficult to understand with the lectures and he doesnt give homework just quizzes and tests!!!! he doesnt even give partial credit! i knew this in high school and passed so thats the only reason i did good becuase i already knew the mateiral.
This class was so hard. Enroll if you want to drop out within the first week.
Online coarse was difficult. You basically teach yourself. 11 quizes, 1 midterm, 1 final. I do not recommend him unless you already know the material.
If you want to pass, go with another professor.
incompetent, course online system insufficient, would not grade on content of the answers, many students had problems with his on-line system but said "a competent college student would not have any trouble" (insulting!)
(online class) If you want to fail due to symbol input instead of Math learning content, pick him - otherwise AVOID Michael Greenwich. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!! Poor Teacher! Hated this class due to his personal math input schema. I had correct answers, he would mark them wrong. Will never take Greenwich again. AVOID AVOID AVOID
Beware of this professor's online class. Knowing the right answer to the question and trying to understand what notation the computer will accept the answer in on the tests is nigh on impossible, and he will not give you credit for correct answers if the computer's failed you. Very frustrating and extremely hazardous to your GPA.
This class is too much work. I also find it very hard. You basically teach yourself, with the help of online aids for his program. If you like to learn online, this is the class for you.
Quite possibly the worst math class I have ever taken. Like said from reviews earlier the online quizzes are extremely hard because figuring out what random symbol to put in for the answer is a complete nightmare. I have been an A student all my life in my math and I dropped the class within a month. Avoid this Class.
go to lectures and pay attention youll be fine. people had trouble with his notation for the online test but he tells you exactly how to put the answers in during his lecture. overall good teacher but it is a hard subject to learn..and he also has an accent, so if you have a hard time with accents find another teacher
DO NOT TAKE HIS ONLINE CLASS!! He makes it extra difficult with his symbols that he makes you use. The only "F" I've ever had is thanks to this class.
Mr. Greenwich is probably the worst math teacher I've ever had. He assumes that all of his students already know everything he's teaching & therefore doesn't explain his processes & jumps all over the place & it is difficult to understand him when he speaks.
This was the worst Math class that I have ever taken. He wouldnt even let you take the tests or quizzes until you did 80% of each homework assignment, which come to find out he dosen't even give you points for doing the homework at all! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! It is way too much work unless it is your only class he sets you up to fail.
I honestly dont understand what everyone is complaining about! He states very clearly what is expected of you and gives you instructions on what to do. I was paranoid taking his online class after reading all the negatives but came out quite satisfied. If you are having a hard time with the symbols then you clearly have a problem with instructions!
This is a waste. The English as a second language textbook written by the instructor is incomprehensible. I agree the Midterm and Final are designed to confuse. The guy is sarcastic in his answers to questions. His online exams require "proper" grammar though the use of proper grammar thoroughly escapes this man. In short it sucks take another.
Took Stat 152 online. He gave some decent examples to explain some of the concepts, but sometimes he was very unclear. He has a lot of grammer and other kinds of errors both in his text and on his tests. The quizzes were sometimes frustrating because you had to enter exactly what he was looking for. Not the worst professor, not the best.
He is a poor presenter and makes many mistakes as he tries to teach. His demands in regards to notation are fair, but, if you are not already good at this type of math, it will make things infinitely more difficult. He also says things in class that do not exactly match his syllabus, which is a red flag as well. Do not take his classes!
You can't understand a word he says. He teaches on thing and test on another. Very poor teacher DON"T DO IT I am am A student
Worst math class ever!!! I got a 97% in my last math class. I am good at math and I enjoy it...I took it online. Not only does he require you to get an 80% on every hw assignment, you get no credit for it. The only scores that go toward your grade are the Tests and Midterm and Final. NEVER AGAIN!!!
Took this class in summer online session. Pretty self explanatory, lots of homework to do that you don't get point-awarded credit for. Tests, midterms, finals were very easy if you did the required homework. Lots of work is expected so do not take unless you are planning ti spend some time on it.
I am actually really good at math and love to do it, but this teacher was the worst. The online hw was impossible to get thru because his own answers were wrong, and even when he corrected his mistakes, u still had to completely redo it. Also, the problems on the tests are always ones we did not go over. Not worth the frustration and time!
His text still has poor grammar, a lot of typos, run-on sentences, spelling errors, poor word choice, and math errors. His writing style often makes it hard to figure out what he is trying to convey. The text needs a good editing by an English teacher. Then maybe less students would drop and class averages on tests and exams might increase.
I've gotten an A in every math class prior to this one, never had trouble understanding equations until now. He is no help, and makes it very clear he does not want to be bothered w/ questions. I would not take another class w/ him.
By far the WORST teacher I have ever had in my life! Maybe he's good in person, but he is absolutely awful via online class. I would not recommend him or ever take his class again.
He's a total jerk. I took the class online, and when the computer froze during a test from a technical glitch, he basically said tough luck. I forgot parentheses on a few questions, he gave me a D for the test, not the B I earned!
Taking 95 right now and definitely stay away from this teacher if you are able to. He doesn't seem to pay any attention to his online course and has incorrect answers on his own assignments.
He gives a lot of problems which, confuses you. But he helped me out lot to bum up my grade. I am very thankful.
This was only offered as online course. The book is written by the professor and very poorly at that. The book hardly made sense and when I asked for clarification it didn't help much. Not very helpful in my opinion. I absolutely would not recommend this professor unless you're already a STATS whiz.
Some of the things said about him are true. He can come across as sarcastic. However, he has spent more time helping me pass than any professor I have ever had. The secret with him is to show that you are interested in succeeding. He responds very well to people that are really trying.His tests are tricky but he will do whatever he can to help.
I hated this class. Everything was online and the test answers had to be so specific in certain formants. He's a nice guy, but don't take him if you can help it.
His hours of availability was ridiculous and he does not provide information for incorrect answers. This was an introductory course and it was very difficult. We had to use his book which was not congruent with other stats books I bought to assist with this course. CSN should offer multiple professors for this course.
Just a Bad Teacher. Poorly speaks English, difficult to understand, evasive when asked a question. The online portion is impossible to answer because it has to be answered so precisely. Don't take him, save yourself the headache.
His class is very hard, especially the online portion. However, if you do the tests early and ask him questions after class, he will show you exactly how to do them and will try to help. The tests are what hurt everyone and once you get the hang of this class, it is easy but otherwise avoid if possible.
Although this course may be hard due to the tests online,he LOVES to help you if you need help. His lectures aren't great, and it's hard to understand him. Independent study will be required if you want to pass. Asking help from him, doing a little tutoring, and repeatedly retaking my tests is what really raised my grade from a c to a b.
Worst class I have ever taken. He wrote the book, and it is garbage. His online quizzes take forever, and are fill in the blank; so if you don't type exactly the same thing that he has recorded as the answer, it is wrong. Please, do not take this class!!!
Very confusing. I would advise you to NOT take this professor
i don't understand how people say he's hard. I find his class very easy and got very high grade. just need to attend class and take notes and do the online homework til you get a high grade
I would not recommend taking this class because Prof. Greenwich doesn't communicate well and also he gives too much online homework, in which doesn't count towards your grade. Furthermore, he's exam does not align with the assignments and test that he assigns.
The textbook written by him has grammar errors, poor explanations and is confusing. Online test are difficult you must fill in the blank with the exact words he looking for. Which can take a long time some questions have nothing to do with the main idea. you'll have to find examples and concept explanation elsewhere. Try avoid taking his class
His lectures are hard to understand. If you can avoid this class you NEED to. He is condescending and will never give you a straight answer. Take Hutchenson. Hes fantastic!!! This teacher has zero empathy for your learning and grade.
Doesn't actually lecture in class, even said attendance isn't mandatory at all. Must teach yourself the material from the textbook. Homework is very easy but the tests are killer. Almost nothing on the tests are covered in the textbooks. Be prepared to spend countless hours studying just to barely pass. Would NOT take again, I suggest you avoid.
Got an A on every test & quiz. I didn't read the book. Everything you need to know is from his lectures & ppts. Go to class, listen, and take notes. Those who fail this class are those who did not give full effort in understanding the material DURING lectures. Hard to understand the material by yourself so go to lectures and listen. Tests are easy
The textbook was free as a part of the online course. The quizzes online could be taken multiple times which was great. The issue is that his text book is very unclear yet is needed for the quizzes and both exams. The class wasn't too bad if you make an effort to pass. Just know he can take some time to respond if you need help.
24 years out of school & never even took Pre-Algebra, so I'm sure it was more of an uphill battle for me (almost gave up a few times despite being determined to work for it.) HW (non credit, but you should do it) was an insane amount- I did about 5 hrs/day. Tests were tricky, but he ALWAYS responded to my queries. Stay CONSTANTLY on your toes-
Feckless, a complete stickler for insignificant rules, and hard to communicate with avoid at all costs.
Although the homework is optional and not graded at all, I'd recommend doing it anyways.
I took this class and I failed. It was hard to understand how to learn algebra due to his accent. I'm not that great at learning math, nor a great test taker. Some of the students passed, but I was one of those students who struggled.
I took this as an online class. The homework is not graded, but I would recommend you to complete the homework assignments becuase that is truly they only way you will learn. The videos are great and explain how to solve every problem step by step. You can take the tests multiple times expect for the final but they are time-consuming so try to get
Textbook all over the place
I took STAT 152 online because it was the only Stat class available. He wrote the "book" himself, and it's hard to read. Examples aren't clear, and there's no reference book to read instead. The tests don't make sense, and there's nothing to study before them. You do get unlimited tries though, and he gives extra points on exams.
I do not recommend him if you struggle in math. His lectures are not mandatory, but they arent much help either. He makes numerous mistakes that detract focus from his teaching and will make condescending remarks. His accent makes it hard for some to understand, too. Take him if you understand the subject beforehand and/or willing to self-study.
I loved that he gave us timelines and due dates and that was it; he let us work at our own pace and I loved that!
His online class was amazing, you only had to do the 5 tests online and the final and everything is due on the same day.. He was such a pleasure
Professor Greenwich doesnt explain the material well at all. He makes numerous of mistakes and only changes them if a student catches it. I dont understand how the students were correcting the professor. He makes a lot of bad comments about how you will fail if you dont understand but gets frustrated when you make an effort to understand.
This is the hardest class I've ever taken. The examples in the text are not clear, the exams are extremely specific. I don't recommend taking this class, it is hard, unclear, and I have not found any source of tutoring for the topics we cover. I have never struggled more with a class. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE
I dont know why people are complaining. You are allowed to retake all quizes, as many times as you need. He uses his own textbook, which is FREE. Statistics is not an easy course, that has nothing to do with the professor. If you are willing to work hard you will do well.
I dont recommend him at all. He makes a lot of mistakes when explaining which makes you confused. Take another prof if you want to pass.
THICK accent! Uses textbook he wrote himself that is free online. 8 online tests that has unlimited tries before due date. 2 in-person, closed-book exams. I did terrible on half of the tests and okay on the exams. Still passed but prepare to be in confusion for most of the semester. Look for a different professor if you can.
Homework is optional but helpful to learn material. You are only graded on 5 tests and a Final. The Tests you have unlimited chances to improve your grade and he uses just the top score. The Final, you only have one chance. All Tests and the final are 20 questions with 2 hour time limit. Everything is due on the last day of semester. Easy A
Great Professor. I took his online Math class 95 in Fall and 96 in Spring. He was awesome. You use Mymathlab Pearson for the classes all online. It is cheaper to order through Amazon for the code. It is at your own pace and everything is due by the last day of the Semester! You can finish the class in a week or 2 if you are committed. GREAT PROF!
Michael Greenwich is an awesome professor
Worst teacher I have ever had. I barely understood what he said because of his bad accent. Also, his lectures a bad, bad, bad. Do the homework if you want to pass. Tests are pretty similar to homework. Good thing, you don't have to attend his lectures.
If you struggle with math, like me, take professor Greenwich! Took his Math 95 and 96 online - received an A in both classes. I believe there were 5-6 tests (cant remember now) and could work at your own pace. Tests had unlimited attempts, Final had two attempts (highest grade was kept). As long as you try, you will pass!
6 "tests" that you can retake as many times as you want, and Test 6 can replace your lowest score. 2 exams, a midterm and a final. There is homework, but it isn't for a grade. It's for practice. The best way to tackle the class: watch the book's video lectures with the provided lecture slides. Do the examples from the slides. A good class overall.
There's homework but it's not graded but you are ONLY graded on the 6 tests you will take for the semester . The class is simple BUT definitely needs to be taken very seriously. Everything is done on MyMathLab. To pass with a B or above, you will definitely need to be on the top of your game with studying and FOR SURE knowing each concept.
Everything is due at the end of the year, so DONT procrastinate, if I wouldve started right away then I wouldve been fine but I was rushing with everything. Im also terrible at math so even though the homework wasnt required I had to watch the lectures and do the homework to understand the math. Overall it was fine, as long as u keep on top
His speach has a heavy accent you cant understand what he is saying .He is funny he jokes about taking a cold one in class his test are somewhat easy if you take the notes from the test and homework practices he shows he shoes the work in a longer version for examples then shorter for the practice:)
He left lots of resources for every lesson to help you learn the concepts and while it takes a while to get through them I recommend you do all of them. During his recorded lectures he always went over a practice test at the end so I would watch those before taking the real quiz. There was no final exam and he lets you retake up to 4 quizzes.
The course was very clearly structured - read the material, do exercises, take multiple attempts home work and 1 quiz on the end. Do not procrastinate tough! every assignment has a due date, and late work is not accepted. Easy A
Pros: FREE ebook. You can study and answer quizzes in advance. You can retake HW as much as you need. Clear grading system. Lessons are easy. Cons: His thick accent makes him hard to understand. A small disagreement that irks me to this day: I pointed out his mistake on a quiz. He won't admit to it & just contradicted his own book lol.
MATH126E - Math26. Lecture for 1h40m 3 days a week, stopped going and decided to sleep in. Everything is due through Pearson, homework and quiz for the unit due same day. I procrastinated and got everything done day it was due without attending and still got an 87%. Professor is a bit hard to understand, but very nice, also posts recorded lectures.
The Professor is very nice, though I cannot understand a word he says half the time. The course is very well structured and easy to follow. He provides helpful resources, and if you watch the videos and do the assignments, you will get an A.
He is a good teacher, although he has a thick accent, he cares about his student's success and is always willing to help if a student needs help. Overall, I had a good experience being taught by Prof Greenwich.
