Mickey was a very laid back professor. If you actually go to class and put in a good effort towards understanding the material, you should do just fine. Sometimes his answers to questions would be a little vague, eventually he'll go through enough examples to where you'll understand. Tests are on the difficult side, but its dept. standard.

He rushes through our problems in class and if you ask him a question, you get an answer that has nothing to do with what you asked... or a sassy remark.

Dr. Dunlap is the best Stat2000 professor to take. His lectures are very helpful, go to them! He will post his notes, but you won't understand them unless you show up. There is always at least one trick question on the tests, but those are departmentalized. Homework is fair and easy to get a 100, same with lab and these are great grade boosters.

Dunlap is a great professor and probably the best choice out of the stat2000 professors. To be honest the entire stat department isn't that great and the tests are terrible and way harder than what we learn in class. But if you have no choice but to take stat then definitely take him. If you don't have to take stat at all, stay away.

Professor Dunlap is a nice guy who genuinely wants you to learn. Honestly, it does not matter who your stat teacher is because every class has the same tests and notes. Be sure to go to class because participation counts as a portion of your grade, and study the reviews/do the extra web assigns because the tests are basically the same.

I feel bad for Dunlap. He is passionate about stat and I think he wants us to learn, but has NO people skills. If you want a question answered, find a tutor. My advice would be take your time on the homework and make sure you know how to do everything. Side note: if you fail test 1, DROP the class. Test 2 and 3 are significantly harder.

Professor Dunlap is clearly very knowledgeable about statistics. The lectures are easy to follow, and even though the course may not be the easiest, you can get an A if you put in the time. One thing to note is that he uses Tophat, and missing one class can lose a lot of Tophat points even though attendance isn't technically mandatory.

This class isn't that difficult, but his use of Tophat during lecture is infuriating. He often puts up questions that are accuracy based and gives you very little time to solve them before he closes them. If you do well on the webassign and tests (which aren't that hard) this shouldn't matter because you can replace your participation grade.

Tests are open note, and the tests are usually just like the examples we do in class. He offers office hours to help with the homework, and he usually gives you hints with similar problems to help with the homework. He's easily available through groupme, emails, and office hours.

The class was entirely videos that he uploaded to eLC and you watched on your own time. One pretty easy HW every week and a few open note tests. I thought the videos were easy to understand and to the point, and he provides a lot of examples. Super accessible as well. If you put in even the bare minimum effort you should have no problem.

I registered for this class with it saying it was hybrid. The first thing we were told was to not come in person. If you are like me and need math classes in person then don't take him. Also most of the videos, notes, and all of the labs were not made by him. And just as a warning, HW, labs, and practice exams are NOTHING like quizzes and exams.

Dr. Dunlap is a very picky grader. Even if something seems extremely obvious or implied you must state it exactly the way he wants or points will be deducted. I think he thinks that the concepts in class are hard for students (they aren't), the only difficult part is figuring out which JMP add in to use when. He doesn't seem to understand this.
