His English is not the best, but you can get used to it. He's also very willing to help if you are having difficulties

he's a good teacher.

His English is not very good but he is still a very effective teacher. He is very nice and very helpful.

This is an easy class if you really pay attention to what he is teaching. He gives a lot real life examples. Also, you need to have certain math skills. Overall, he is a good professor.

You will have trouble understanding him at first. The tests are intense but he does everything he can to help you understand the material.

Let me start by saying that the class is not for slackers. The work is long and tedious but Professor Sun does a great job of making sure students understand the steps and helps you in any way he can. If you want to pass the class make sure to show up ready to work and take very good notes. Made an A in the class

The class is not easy, and his accent doesnt make it any easier. However, a cheat sheet and the book is allowed during the test and he has sample tests from previous semesters posted on BB which are almost the same as the ones he'll give you. He's pretty awesome, but i hear Massaro is better for stats1

Mr Sun does have an accent but it's not as bad as some of the people reviewing here would lead you to believe. This is one of the hardest classes in the business core knowledge and I think he's a great teacher. You do have to show up. To class and study hard but the past exams are online and he gives extra credit. Not a class for slackers

At first hard to understand but you get used to it quickly. lets you use book and notes on test, quizzes are easy and cases are very easy. sit up front because his writing is small sometimes. takes attendance sometimes.

Easy class as long as you attend class and take good notes. He does have a strong accent. He's very friendly and helpful. He gives good example on how to use the material in the outside world.

He does take attendance first off. He is hard to understand at first, but as long as everyone is quiet and pays attention, it's easy to overcome. He did curve, but it wasn't until the end, so I was worried about what exactly my grade was going to be. Practice the previous exams!

Extremely easy, almost your entire grade is from 3 tests that are open book and open note. Don't need to show up, he posts all his notes online, and posts test reviews that are exactly the same questions on the test, just copy them in your notes and you have all the answers for the test. Lectures are long and has a very thick accent though.

Attendance is taken for a grade, he has a thick accent that is hard to understand, and there is a lot of homework. HOWEVER, there is NO FINAL, all tests are open notes & book, and practice tests are posted up which are exactly the same as the test. Overall, he was a good professor! I would take him again.

His notes are very clear and easy to understand. Quizzes and practice problems come directly from the notes. He provides sample tests from the year before, and they are the tests but with different numbers. The tests are 90% of your grade, but if you do the practice tests you'll be fine. He does have a Chinese accent, but its easy to understand.

at the beginning, his lectures are confusing but eventually you'll get use to it. Exams are almost the same as the sample tests so make sure to study that. Copy all the notes so you can answer the quizzes. Make sure to do all practice problems and quizzes. he gives you a point everytime you show up to class.

Professor Sun is a great professor! He is hard to understand at first but you'll get used to it. Do all your HW, quizzes and attend class. Tests are open notes! He gives sample tests identical to actual test just with different numbers

He takes attendance at every class. You should show up anyway if you want to understand what's going to be on the test. He'll post the notes online, but you should still show up because he explains it well. He allows you 1 cheat sheet and you can glance at your notes and book. I would recommend him.

Dr. Sun is very genuine and has the longest tenure of any professor at UTSA. There is no issue with his accent because he writes down & posts, word-for-word, all lecture notes and textbook. Posts all 3 exams from prior semester and changes only the #s for the current semester. Open book, open notes, open previous exams for all tests! Amazing!

The class is made up of 3 exams worth 90% of your grade. He posts every exam with different numbers on BB. The tests are open note and nook. Do the sample tests on notebook paper completely worked out, take them to the exam and get an A in the class. The people complaining on here deserved their bad grade.

Just take write down everything he writes down. You don't even need to understand him, because I couldn't, but the problems he uses in his notes are like his tests. Also, do the sample tests, they are 95% like the test! Lots of homework though, some of the quizzes he gives you are longer than 50 questions, but gives you like two weeks to work on

Professor Sun was one of my most favorite professors here at UTSA. His class is super was fun and his lectures where really good. He likes to make jokes which makes your day better. Don't believe the bad reviews, this guy is a straight genius.

Literally my favorite teacher I've ever had. The only reason I would find his class difficult is because he has a thick Chinese accent

Took this class over the summer. I didn't like MS1023 but loved this class. He makes it easier to understand and you can really relate the problems to the real world. He's available if you need help and really takes the time to make sure you understand. His tests are structured like the sample but you have to be familiar with all methods. Take him.

Just show up, take notes, and do your online homework/quizzes. There are a lot of online quizzes, but only 5-10 questions each. He goes through sooo much material each class, so don't be late and don't leave early. 3 exams, but you can make up a cheat sheet or open the book if you need it. Don't take too long on the exam; not a whole lot of time.

This class was an easy A. The homeworks& quizs are a lot easier if you have the textbook. For the 3 exams you are allowed to make a cheat sheet. He is a great professor. He uses iclicker, so go to class. Also, he does have an accent but after a week or so youll got used to it, plus he writes everything down& posts it on BB.

Pretty easy overall. Went to the class for attendance and taught myself the material before the exam with the example he provides from a previous semester. Good option for any MS course.

it was hard to follow his lectures, bc of heavy accent. 200 people started, only 100 passed? Had an A going into final, got a 66 on final exam, Final test was HORRIBLE& i guessed curved to the hilt? Go to SI sessions it's the reason I passed. Tests are HARD!!!! & he takes attendance for a grade. This course weeds out the losers from COB.

I've taken Sun twice for Stats 1 & 3 and I would recommend him. He has a thick accent, but if you sit close you will learn to understand him. Attendance isn't mandatory, but is EC and it helps to write his notes. You're allowed to use your notes on all 3 exams, so as long as you understand what you wrote and how he got the answers, you're golden.

Sun is smart and so pleasant! He has a thick accent, but uploads all his notes so, you SHOULD be fine. His tests are the Quizzes/pract tests, with little deviation, and his homework is hell because of CENGAGE glitches, but he compensates for that in the long run. Set aside time to learn and it'll be a sure A. Excel portion is difficult.

Takes attendance, but for extra credit. Difficult to understand at first, but you become accustomed to his accent. All homework (some time consuming, so be ready) and quizzes are online and he posts his notes from class. Goes off topic sometimes, but is interesting and funny. Loves beans.

He is pretty difficult to understand. There is a ton of homework and quizzes, but he pushes back the dates so we canget it done on time. I felt as if going to the lectures wasn't always necessary. He also let us use our notes and the test review was the same test with different numbers. need time outside of class to really understand the material

Sun cares about making sure you understand the material, so he allows you to use your notes and a cheat sheet during tests. There is a lot of homework done online but he extends the deadlines a lot (sometimes at the last minute.) The tests are very similar to the quizzes and the sample tests. He's very sweet but I recommend to sit in the front.

Great professor but challenging material. He will help you pass.

Professor Sun makes his class as simple and easy as possible. He lectures for the entire class period, gives detailed notes on each topic, and works sample problems on each topic. He also posts the class notes to blackboard, along with sample quizzes and tests. The quizzes are the same problems we work in class and the exams are open notes!

This class can be confusing at first due to his heavy accent but if you go to lectures a lot, do your homework and take notes, be understanding towards him he is a very caring professor that is actually concerned with your grades. Extend deadlines a lot too. Will try his best to get you to pass. Test is open notes but make sure you go to class!

Super nice guy, but you won't learn anything in class. Your learning will come from the massive amounts of homework online. Its all worth it though because if you do the quizzes and practice exams you WILL make an A on the exams. AND he allows you to bring notes, samples, really anything. Content isn't hard. If you wanna pass with an A take him.

Dr. Sun is a caring professor. He frequently pushes back homework. The exams are exactly like the sample tests he posts on Blackboard. He lets you use your notes on the exams. Everything is pretty much on Chegg. Attendance is for extra credit. The people who are complaining about not hearing/understanding him are the ones who sit in the back!

If you want an easy A take him! I almost dropped this class the first week because I thought it was too hard. IT'S NOT I PROMISE. Homework and quizzes are on Chegg. if you don't have Chegg the homework is easy if you watch the videos it provides. Exams are easy bc the review is exactly like the exam and you can bring it to the tests. Super easy A.

His attendance was extra credit, people say they can't understand his accent but just follow along with the notes and you'll be fine. Tests are all multiple choice so it makes it so much easier. Taking him again for stats 3.

Pros: -Willing to give extensions on everything! -Tests have curves + open notes! -Very caring and genuinely wants you to pass. Cons: -Heavy accent + soft spoken -Went really fast; was not on pace with the syllabus. The lectures didn't match up with the homeworks/quizzes being assigned. -My SI wasn't helpful :

There are HW and Quiz every week. There are also three tests total, he gives two tries on each test, so that was easy. Overall, the class was very easy. I didnt even stress about it, the tests are just like the quizzes in my experience. It was an easy A.

I have always enjoyed taking this class with this professor. Super kind and helps you out. As long as you work hard, you got this.

Not an easy subject but Professor Sun is always willing to help. Pushes the homework and quizzes to a later date all the time, which is helpful to take more time with the material. The lecture notes for the online class could be better.

An extremely nice professor, always giving extensions. Personally I believe people took advantage of how kind he is. He's always open to all questions and people who say it's hard aren't even trying. For the exams I use excel, it helps A LOT! The quizzes are online and don't have a time limit which is great. Practice tests are similar to exams.

If you have questions ask him, he's more than willing to help. Super nice guy, his accent isn't even bad and he puts up captions so that people can understand him more. Overall a great professor

Prof sun is a good prof with a heavy accent, but i respect him for being able to teach still. He lets you have open notes during tests, sends you a review with answers before a test, and he always allows extensions with quizzes and homework. I took him twice and both times he did the same thing i just listed. TAKE HIM if youre taking stats. EASY A

Professor Sun was a great professor, he extends due dates for HW and quizzes all the time. He also gives answers to all quizzes before the test. Very easy A if you do the work.

Great professor once you get past the heavy accent. A little hard to understand but he ensures to make his class as easy as possible. Knows what he is talking about, would recommend!

Dr. Sun was a good professor overall. He shows his solutions for every problem, extends hw/quizzes, gives extra credit for attendance, shows you how to do it on excel and his exam review is almost identical to the exam. The only downside is that he is a bit hard to understand and he's slightly monotone. But definitely a good teacher.

The best and nicest professor at UTSA. Tests are multiple choices and he gives two attempts. Extends the homework every time students ask him for an extension. Highly recommended.

By far one of the best stats teachers I had took, he extended the class deadlines and cares for his students

Took him for stats 1 and 3. Amazing guy. He is who you want to have. Do the homework and you'll pass. The quizzes are like the homework. The tests are exactly like the quizzes, so if you know how to do the quizzes you are golden for the tests. He will extend anything and cares if you contact him at all. Such a good guy. Glad to have had him.

This professor was a breath of fresh air. He made things very easy and even gives 2 attempts at the quizzes and exams on BB. The second attempt has all the same questions also. You still have to work for a decent grade, but it is much easier with him. I wish I could take him again in the future.

You will have to figure out everything yourself because his lectures are from 1999, grainy, and he's accent is really thick so he's hard to understand. However, he's very nice and will extend hw and help you when you ask for it.

Professor Sun is a solid choice for this class. He is very understanding that we have a life outside of school, and he will extend due dates if needed. The course itself is very difficult but the professor is definitely there to help, I recommend him and would take him again.

Professor Sun was incredibly structured and organized. He extended deadlines for homework and quizzes which was very beneficial because the content was hard. He was highly accessible and responsive to emails which was a plus. The content was pretty hard for not being a stats major, but I think anyone get can get through it.

The class was average professor extended assignments multiple times throughout the semester at the request of students. Quiz/Homework every week and multiple exams.

Dr. Sun was a fairly well professor. He always extended the deadlines for assignments each week because he cared about his students. All homework was on Cengage, but the quizzes and tests were on Canvas (and they weren't fairly hard with the necessary resources). Overall, a lenient professor who offers extra credit at the end of the course.

10-wk summer course. Schedule was not consistent, but the workload was not bad. He consistently extended due dates for the entire class. His lectures were unwatchable, but his notes and the textbook were good. Quizzes (2 attempts) are not timed. Three regular tests with no final. He was approachable and communicated with the class. Would recommend.

Taken online and contains: 11 modules with a homework assignment on Cengage (multiple attempts) and quiz/quizzes (2 attempts) and 3 test (2 attempts). Easy class and work load is maintainable.

His Teaching Notes are incredible and helped me fly through his homework assignments.

The lecture videos are about 30 years old, so THAT is my biggest gripe. There is a bit of a language barrier but he is always willing to help you out if in need. He kept adjusting the class schedule to accommodate the students behind which is NOT fair to those up to speed. The material is hard but you have the internet to give you answers.
