I enjoyed this class, he is so funny and makes dumb jokes which keeps students engaged. His math teaching skills were kind of confusing. Sometimes during homework I would look back at my notes and realize that there wasn't a problem like the problem in the homework in my notes. Overall the class wasn't hard, just study for the tests.

Nate is a great guy. I was worried about taking stats online, but he made it a breeze. He explained everything through posts that he uploaded onto the online teaching base, and through class discussions, we were able to have a real classroom setting. I would definitely take his class again if I had to. He is also very approachable, which helped me.

Nate was highly recommended by my mates. I couldn't take his online class as it was inconvenient for me. He still replied my questions via emails whilst he was on vacation, he was helpful and so kind. This says a lot about his character, to help someone he's never even met. I can understand why his students fancy him. Nate, thank you. xx

Professor Blecke is awesome! 2 out of the 4 test are open notes and open book and the other 2 tests he lets you use a 5x8 note-card. There is a lot of online homework but it's not very difficult, just time consuming. He responds to emails promptly and is very helpful. He is very lenient with makeup tests. I would definitely recommend taking him!

He may teach for 2 hours, but I still leave his class knowing nothing. He is not good at explaining problems, but if you ask he will give you a half hour explanation that makes absolutely no sense at all. The tests are so hard and have nothing to do with what he "tries" to teach. Be prepared to have homework every night.

Cares if you learn. Assigns homework that will spark questions so they can be answered before tested. If you don't understand a topic, he will explain it in different ways until you get it which helps a lot. He explains the kinds of problems he will put on the test so you can study those types of problems before hand. Overall would recommend.

If you take his class, don't take any others. He gives way too much homework and it's hard to keep up it all when you actually have a job and a life outside of statistics. There was paper homework and online homework and most of his tests didn't really reflect what was done on the homework. He words his test questions in a confusing way too.

His tests are sometimes difficult because he uses old material. If your final is better, he replaces it w/ the worse exam throughout the semester. There is a lot of homework assigned.
