he is not a very helpful teacher but he is easy.
does'nt explain anything. u basically teach urself everything. tests are all based on assigned homework problems throughout the semester.
If you do all of the homework and study (memorize) the problems, you will ace the test because he uses the same EXACT problems. Know your formulas because they are test questions too. Calculator and allowed cheat sheet on test make it almost too easy
I enjoyed his class. Sometimes in his lectures his jumps around, but as long as you take good notes and keep up with the homework, you'll have no problem. His tests are homework problems, and he allows you to use a cheat sheet on the test. It's easy.

He's ok
He's a great teacher. All test problems come exactly from the homework. As long as you make a good formula card and learn the steps on your TI83 you should be able to ace this class!! If you don't understand something ASK!
HE IS VERY EXCITED ABOUT HIS JOB, EVERYDAY. HE IS VERY EASY AS LONG AS YOU COME TO CLASS AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
If you come to class EVERYDAY,do your homework,and learn how to work your TI-83, you will make an "A" in his class.Although you teach yourself, attendendance is VERY important. Try not to miss ANY days and you will be alright!
I never got less than a 101 on his tests. He doesn't really teach the material but the questions on the tests come straight from the homework. You get 4 extra points on each test for not missing class. I highly recommend him! I just relied on the math lab and the huge notecard he lets you use!
Doesn't explain the material at all, you have to teach yourself everything, his tests come straight from the homework, attendance is very important, expects you to know how to do the material in class, doesn't give good notes at all, if you ask questions to explain he gets mad, would not recommenend
The large index cards that he hands out, so we can use them on every test is very helpful. Make sure you do the homework problems (memorize themo for the test)
Out of all the stats teachers take him..
Class is pretty easy if your good at teaching yourself a lot of the material. He is real strict on attendance though, if you walk out to go to the bathroom he makes you sign a clipboard and then marks you absent. Otherwise he lets you use a card on the tests and question come straight from homework.
This is a kid that sucked at math when he was a kid and wants to get back at the kids that were good at math so he tries to make Statistics hard. Math comes natural for me so I got good grades but if you struggle with math then be prepared to study and make a really good notecard.
Good teacher!! He is very helpful and knows what he is talking about. Be prepared to work in his class because it requires a lot of work. Make a good note card for the test and make sure you know how to use your TI-83 and come to class. If you do this, you can make a good grade.
He lets you use a big notecard for the test, and the questions come straight from homework problems. He does help you, if he sees that you are trying.
Difficult class, but if you read the material, pay attention, do your homework, and take good notes, you will make an A. Looking back, I wish I had done my homework, but I still got a high grade. He lets you use notecards and drop low scores, so he gives you plenty of chances to succeed.
You definitely must come to class, he's real strict on attendance. You also teach yourself. He has a few ways to get extra credit like the notecard and attendance. He talks a lot about nothing, and u definitely have to do the homework.
He gives you every oppurtunity to make a good grade in the class. The material is not very hard at all. He was strict on attendance. But you need to come to class anyway to make a good grade. If you come to class and do your homework it is a very easy A.
This was the best math class I've ever had, and I'm math 'challenged.' Mr. Kerwin is extremely fair, gives notecards for exams, spends extra time in review, BUT YOU MUST DO THE HOMEWORK. TESTS COME DIRECTLY FROM THE HOMEWORK!! No Surprises! Fantastic class...wish he taught Pre-Calc!
he is corny...but he provides study guides that are literally i test format. A great teacher. take him for sta2023
he's a really nice guy.. kinda boring, but understanding. he's willing to help in any way he can.. when i took his class he didn't care if you came or not.. the material gets harder as the course progressses, but he lets you use note cards so its not too bad.. tests problems come from homework.. bring your ti83 to class EVERYDAY!! easy "A" !!
STUDY ALL TEST AND DO OBJECTIVES AND DO ALL HOME WORK AND YOU WILL DO GOOD IN CLASS HOMEWORK PROBLEMS ARE TEST PROBLEMS
He's a good teacher. I'm not at all good in Math, so if you aren't either, you gotta work for a good grade.
Good teacher, not enthusiatic(kind of boring)but I like the way he teaches because it is very helpful.Always willing to help anybody.
Overall this was a fairly easy class. It is a math class, so expect to study, especially if you are not inclined to doing well in math. I am not good at math but I got an A. Gives good study guides for test, and he explains things clearly.If you take notes in class and you do most of the homework you should do good. He also gives extra credit.
What a nice man! his class was a lot easier than i thought it was going to be. make sure to do the study guides before the tests and make good note cards! he even lets you use the note cards you made on the final!
Great teacher, very funny, you can tell he's happy with his job.
Awesome teacher! Honestly you couldn't ask for a better teacher than mr. kerwin. And the help cards make it really easy!
Wow hes a great teacher. He also allows you to use a 5x7 card on his tests and for the final you get to use all four cards. Very fun, and I wouldn't buy the book. We might have use it 3x. If you are not good in math take him. He is one of those teachers that cares for his students.
I had his summer stats course. He was VERY strict on attendance, did NOT offer any kind of extra credit (though he did replace your lowest test score with your final exam grade, if it was higher). 75% of the time he's incredibly boring, but the first 2 tests are fairly easy, as long as you make a decent note card. Study hard for the final.
He is a real good teacher, but gets a little upset if you are late or absent. I would take him again, because he makes sure you pass, if you dont then something is wrong with you.
This guy is very scattered in his lectures. He isn't very helpfull and if he calls on you to answer a question and you don't know it he gets mad. Must sign a clipboard when you leave class to use the bathroom. Aloud to have one notecard per test. Apparrently he is the best statistic teacher tcc has to offer! That's really sad.
Kerwin is a spectacular teacher!! Hes not really strict on attendence.. the reason why everyone says that he is because its part of your extra credit points that you can earn through out the semester. If you miss or are late to more than 3 classes, you have to give pretty good explanations or you will not get the full 5 points on the extra credit
This class was extremely easy! As long as you somewhat pay attention in class and look over the pre-test you will easily get an A! The questions come almost word for word from the pre-test plus you get to use an index card ! I didnt do one homework assignment and I got an A on every test! I would recommned anybody to him for this class!
ATTENDANCE!!!!!!! If you come late, even 1 minute, you are absent! Rude. Arrogant. The least compassionate person I have EVER met. JERK!
THIS IS ONE OF THE EASIEST TEACHERS AT TCC. HE IS VERY HELPFUL AND REALLY FUNNY. HE DOESN'T LIKE TARDY PEOPLE. HE GIVES TONS OF EXTRA CREDIT. U HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO NOT GET AN A IN THIS CLASS. TEST PROBLEMS COME DIRECTLY FROM HOMEWORK. I LOVED THIS GUY. HE REALLY CARES ABOUT STUDENTS PASSING. HE WILL ALSO HELP YOU DURING OFFICE HOURS.
This guy is a complete jerk. At the beginning of the semester I was in the hospital for a few days. I missed like a week of classes. Emailed him & everything. He was not helpful or nice when I asked for help on what I missed after I had gone over it. He told me I should have been in class. The tests are easy, but tended mark my right answers wrong.
Easy but he is very strict on attendence.
Who hates math?? I DO I DO..Pete made Statistics easy and believe it or not, fun...definitly take him...
Attendance is mandatory. Class is based on tests and thats it. Did let you have help cards though..tests were long and ran out of time. Helpful teacher though.
Kerwin is awesome! I don't know where the myth that he hates tardy students came from because he really is the most relaxed teacher I've ever had. Very understanding and all of his tests allow for one huge cheat notecard. I never did any homework in the class and left with an A. You would have to be a complete retard not to do good in his class.
GREAT PROFESSOR!! Extremely helpful!! I took him last spring and loved his class! Math is not my favorite subject but he makes it fun and easy! A lot of his test questions come from the homework and he always makes practice tests for you to study. If you do your work and pay attention in class you will definitely get the grade you want!!
I will start off by saying his class is easy and dosn't require a book. His online tools are extremely helpful especially the exam keys in which you can study from. Unfortunatley thats about all thats good. His class is extremely boring and he is big time smart a**. Word of advice Pete, stop trying to embarass people when they go to the bathroom.
His class is extremely easy as long as you show up for class... ok so I missed a total of 15 days and still got a B+ and I would have had an A if I wouldn't have slacked on test 2. He gives you a good sized notecard for each test and 5 for the exam. He grades fair! Do your homwork and go to class he likes that.
He is really good, hes always pleasant gives you extra points for being nice. All you have to do is smile and get an extra few points! His test are exactly as the problems he works in class, just attend class...An A is achievable in his class.
Really nice guy, very helpful. Everyone should get an A in this class. You get really helpful pre tests and you get to use a notecard on each test and five notecards on the final. He reminds me of a hippy, which is sweet. Be sure to show up and go along with the objectives.
He is an AWESOME teacher! 1. go to class with your calc and he will show you how to use it (very helpful) 2. his class notes (objectives) are just like the practice test and that is just like the actual test 3. you get 1 flashcard per test and you can put all the notes on it you can fit and use it for the test, what more could you ask for? He's gr
GREAT TEACHER. LOVES TO TEACH TRYS NOT TO BE BORING BUT WANTS YOU TO LEARN THE MATERIAL..I HIGHLY ADVISE ANYONE TO TAKE HIM
Mr. Kerwin was EXTREMELY helpful and such a GREAT teacher! He's accomplished effective teaching methods that keep the students engaged and informed. His teaching style WORKS and wonderful! I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Kerwin for any STAT class. The note card on tests REALLY helps!!
Sooo boring. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. This dude will call you out if you do not come to class or if you are late. I hope you read this so you get a sense of how boring you are.
Great teacher...tho ya gotta be committed if you sign up for the 6-week-course! Contrary to the previous post, Prof. Kerwin is NOT boring. I'm sure that the person was one of the many students who failed to attend class - and then probably failed the course. Oh well...grow up! :)
kerwin's class was extremely boring, but he's a helpful instructor. take him if you're not strong in math b/c he's very clear on how to use the calculator and how to preform certain problems. it's an easy A if you show up to class, ask questions if you don't understand, and do the homework and practice tests!
Awesome professor. Makes learning statistics very easy and effective. HW is optional but very helpful. Hes very organized and you can tell he enjoys what he does; very few profs like that exist anymore. If you get the chance take him, you won't regret it!
The class isn't bad just know the practice test and make a good note card for the test. Doing homework does help because test questions are form it but it is optional. If your lazy and good at math you can just study the practice test the night before make a good note card and you will probably get an easy B in the class
Loved his class. Mr. Kerwin is the man.. trust me take his class. He gives extra credit and helps out big time... I promise you can't go wrong here.. Come to class, do the hw and just listen.. he even gives extra credit on the test
I DIDNT ENJOY HIS CLASS, ALLOWS U 2 USE A NOTECARD ON TEST, HOWEVER HIS GRADING IS EXTREMELY HARD. HE GOES THRU INFO 2 FAST. HE GETS UPSET IF U DONT COME 2 CLASS AND HAVE READ THE MATERIAL BEFORE HAND!!! GIVES 2 PTS XTRA CRED 4 UR TCC ID AND COMIN 2 CLASS EARLY ON TEST DAYS!! GIVES HW BUT DOESNT COUNT 4 ANYTHING, NO OTHER WAY TOO IMPROVE GRADE!!!!!
VERY VERY LIKELY TO GET AN "A" IN THIS CLASS. AND I MEAN VERY!! HE GIVES YOU 4 TESTS AND A FINAL, HE ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE A NOTE CARD FOR EACH TEST TO HELP YOU AND GIVES YOU A PRACTICE TEST WHICH HAS SIMULAR PROBLEMS THAT WILL BE ON THE TEST. ALL YOU NEED TO DO TO PAST THE CLASS WITH AN "A" IS DO THE PRACTICE TEST ABOUT TWICE AND DO A NOTE CARD!!
Mr. Kerwin is a great teacher, I would highly recomend him.
Great teacher pretty likely to get an A or B. Make sure you come to class he takes attendance
The class is easy to pass if you do the homework and take the practice tests. He puts all of the day's notes up on Blackboard in case you've missed something. Very good teacher.
He makes you feel bad if you want to come talk to him about the class, but the class was easy with the note cards you get to take to tests and all. I'm just not a good test taker, so I'll have to retake it, but I would def. retake class with him.
RECOMMEND. He allows a help card for the tests, posts class notes for review on coursecompass, is friendly, and wants each student to come to class ready to learn. Made statistics not so intimidating.
Super easy! Take him! He lets you use a help card on the exams, and they are all multiple choice. He also gives extra credit if you show up to class.
He is a good teacher, tests are easy if you go over the study questions and the practice tests. You get to use a nite card in each test. Online homework is easy just study for all the tests no matter how easy you think the work is
His class is really easy. I recommend him for anyone. He lets you use Note Cards for tests. Make sure to do the homework to help with your grade, and do the study guides and practice tests(those are so helpful plus they look exactly like the test). Be sure to go to class EVERYDAY! He is really strict on attendance. For tests, bring student id.
He is soooooo goofy!!! Class is super easy! You get a 4X8 "helpcard" on every test so theres no reason to get lower than a B!! You must go to class HE WILL DROP YOU!! Also you get extra credit for attending class.
Very informative. He can be pretty sarcastic at times I.E if you constantly come to class late. Attendance is mandatory he will drop you, and at the end of the semester he will give you extra credit just for coming. Homework assignments each week. He is very helpful though, will always email you back with ways to solve problems. Definitely reccomen
Wierd man in a way! iF YOU GET LOWER THAN A "C" SOMETHINGS NOT RIGHT WITH YOU! HE LETS YOU BRING A BIG 5 BY 8 NITE CARD AND GIVES EXTRA CREDIT!!! JUST COME TO CLASS ON TIME. he gets kind of irritated if you ask him question in the class. Easy Class! no need to waste your money on a book... just go and but the coarse compass code...
He is EXTREMELY anal about attendance and tardiness. You better not miss classes, and you can't ever be late. I take the bus to school so was almost always 1 or 2 mins late for class but he didn't give me the bonus points. I should've gotten a B in his class but lost 10 percent points on 2 tests for tardiness which was unpreventable on my side =[
He was a really cool teacher in the beginning of the semester but the closer to the final it got the more rude he got. Even if you leave the classroom to use the bathroom he will call you out when you get back. He is a good teacher and the class isnt all that hard. He just has a crappy personality.
Go to class, take notes, understand the questions. Easy. Well, I guess I'm asian, but I'm not saying that has anything to do with it. Just pay attention, and KEEP REDOING the online homework if you don't get it. It's the best way to learn in my opinion. Don't just breeze through it to try to get it done. Extra 10 points added if you do homework!
Take notes and never miss a class!! If you have some questions good luck trying to get it answered !! You pretty much have to be self dependent b.c he is not helping !
Pretty easy class. Just do online homework and come to class for extra credit (he still wants you there though, and will ask why you missed if you want extra credit). Class is very boring though, probably because he lets you use a cheatcard on the tests and final. Nice guy too, as long as you come and are not late.
Mr. Kerwin is a good teacher and he puts all of the notes online and you can use a help card on tests. Although attendance is not mandatory he really wants you in class and wants you to tell him why you missed if you are not in class. He is a nice guy but can be a little scatter brained. He also gives 10 pts. extra credit for good attendance!
Easy class and overall nice guy, a little neurotic but whatever. Explains the material pretty well, just study the notes, do online homework, and make a good help card and you should do well. How hard can a class be where a teacher lets you use a cheat card on tests? By the way, don't bother getting the textbook just buy the Course Compass code.
Take him if you're required to take stats. Super helpful, allows use of 5X8 notecard on every test. There's no reason to not make 100% on every homework and it's counted as a test grade. If you show up, there is no reason to not at least make a B in the class. Stats is difficult. Kerwin is the man.
Great teacher! Gives you a 5x8 help card for the test! Homework each week but online and easy 100. No reason you can't get a B or higher in this class! Take him!!
He is a good teacher. I slept everyday in class and still made a 100%. He lets you use a 5X8 notecard so that helps. TAKE HIM!!!
Lets you use a help card on test. Can be a duche. Goes off on tangents at the beginning and then rush towards the end. Takes off ten points if you are a minute late for test days. Office hours are pointless to go to. gets distracted easily. book is not neccessary but online packet is. 25 question test. can NEVER ask him a question, gets fustrated!
Just the worst. He would go off on pointless crap at the beginning of class and than in the last five minutes wants to teach a whole new chapter. He doesnt like to answer question. If you go to him for one on one he tells you to figure it out on your own. if your late on exam day 10 points are deducted from your test! Can be extremely RUDE!
REALLY good teacher! Stats can bsuper confusing but he teaches it really good. I would DEFFF recommend him as a teacher
When I say he is the BEST Professor ever !!!!! When I say a MUST HAVE Professor trust me he is a really GREAT Professor!!! Don't hesitate take him :)
Great teacher! He does count attendence for 5% of your grade. He gives 4 tests (you can use a help card while taking the test)and homework online that you can make easy 100s on. I recommend him for sta2023!
AVOID AT ALL CAUSE!!!!!!! HE GOES OFF ON THINGS THATS NOT IMPORTANT! GO TO HIS OFFICE AND HE TALKS ABOUT RANDOM THINGS PLEASE AVOID!! DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON HERE... HES HORRIBLE!!!!!!!
He's very nice and supposed to be the best Stats teacher at TCC. For me, though, this class almost had me banging my head against my desk out of boredom. Regardless, it's not that hard, and you can make a help card for tests. The only bad trait of Kerwin is he might stutter up what he's saying. Other than that, I have to say he's a good teacher.
easy class, can get boring listening to him because he repeats his self, attendance is manditory, and you can use a help card on every test..
Come to class, BE ON TIME and visit his office hours do all online work (REPEAT). The work was fair and in class quizwas easy. I really didnt study hard for this class.He has his Crazy outburst but Good teacher he wants his student to learn and know this stuff. He is Fair do your part and he will help.Always helpful to me.
AVOID!! Worst teacher! Class is soooo boring! He talks really fast and he's really fidgety. It's weird. You HAVE to study. His test are not easy. He gives a quiz almost every day! Although he does let you use a help card on tests. This class is overall hard, especially if you're not that good in math.
Very well organized notes, he obviously has been doing this a long time. Very much cares about attendance and lateness that it's distracting when he stops class to mention it all the time. Spends a lot of time on reminding us not to be late ect. that he runs out of time to explain material. Compared to Coll Algebra, this class was much easier.
I'm not that good in math but I passed it. He does seem to always be moving fast, " don't know why." He's an ok teacher.
