DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!! There's only 2 test and a cumulative final. The test do NOT match anything discussed in lecture or homework. He isn't helpful during his office hours at all and could care less if you're struggling with the material. You could literally show up to class everyday, make A's on all of the homework and STILL fail his tests.
Do not take this course!! Avoid this professor!!! Does not give very much homework and gives multiple attempts. Lectures and homework do not pertain to tests. Be prepared to teach yourself the material. Does not teach, lectures about statistical theory. You can ask for all of the examples and practice problems you want but all he will do is ramble.
nicest teacher i've ever had. just pay attention and you will be good
As long as you pay attention in class you'll be fine. The only thing better than his test curves were his curves.
Has a very thick accent that you won't be able to understand. Homework is easy and you get a cheat sheet on the test, however anything he teaches you in class is not on the test. You will have to teach yourself everything. He also doesn't know how to solve the answers to his own test... so don't bother going to office hours. One of the worst profs!
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR. Be expected to teach yourself everything because lecture is a joke since he doesnt know how to explain anything. Thered be days where hed only go over ONE slide in an entire class period. Unless you have a tutor, youll fail.
Dr. Ghosh is so sweet. Attendance is absolutely not mandatory and he posts all lecture slides online. The homework helps you learn the material. He takes student suggestions and is willing to help as much as possible. Dr. Ghosh is genuinely one of the friendliest people ever and I would recommend taking him if you study well on your own.
This was the most caring prof I've ever had. No idea why he has a low rating. Also the class is a piece of cake. He lets you use a cheat sheet and he curves everything. It is hard to not make an A. Didn't show up to class all of November and still got an A. He truly wants to boost your GPA and succeed. I would take him again for sure
His lectures are the most boring and useless ever. You can go to class and do less and 4 slides. Most of my class skipped every lecture because it was so painful. His office hours are also the worst. I went in for help on homework and he couldn't even figure out his own problems. but on the flip side, his class was very easy if you already get it.
Alrighty ags, under no circumstances should you take him for STAT 201. There are a few good ratings on here, but don't listen to them. If you are like everyone else, aka the average student, you will lose your mind in this class. He is nice, but he is probably the worst professor to teach stats. Office hours dont help, no TA, horrible lectures
He was extremely caring and kind
This class is so easy, its very hard not to make an A. The lectures are very boring and you don't learn anything in class, but you get a cheat sheet for the test. You could only show up for test days and still be fine. He curves everything. Prasenjit is very nice, I love this guy.
Terrible Teacher. Curves everything and hard to not get an A
I went to class maybe 5 times (including tests), didn't watch any of his recorded lectures (due to COVID19.) Spent a couple hours a week going over the powerpoints and doing the HW. Curved heavily and offered lots of extra credit. Should be a pretty easy A.
His slides were pretty much gibberish and jargon, and I eventually stopped paying attention in lectures. Learned everything from the homeworks and doing practice tests. He lets you use a cheat sheet and online calculators on exams, which is great. He seems to really care, but just isn't a good teacher.
Professor Ghosh was honestly one of the, if not the, nicest professor I have ever had. He was always active on the GroupMe, answering question anyone had. He was very communitive and always made sure we understood the material. That being said, he was not the best lecturer. He quite literally read word for word on the slides. But it was worth it
He is such a nice guy and a nice teacher. He gives few assignments and the material is easy. He is AMAZING!!
He was an awesome prof. He sets up a GroupMe with students and responds very fast. He was also super understanding and cares a lot about students. Hell do everything in his power to help you out. I stopped attending lextures halfway through however his recordings helped out. He also gave test reviews that were identical to the tests. Awesome guy!
I learned next to nothing in this class. I would do the review the day before each exam and make an A. Never attended class. He was very accessible and willing to help always.. like 24/7. Students took advantage of this and moved test dates and got homework assignments dropped. I feel kind of bad for the guy. He tried. I think we all got As.
Such a caring guy and always wants the best for his students. However, his lectures were horrible! I learned nothing when I attended and eventually stopped going. The reviews were almost the same as the test (change of numbers) and gave huge curves. Occasionally would give hw. I would NOT recommend him if you have to take another stats class!!
His lectures are not that great but he is a very caring and nice guy. He gives massive (MASSIVE) curves on each test, and they are not too bad. He also sometimes moves exams. It may seem stressful, but it should not be difficult at all to get an A in this class because of all the curves.
Okay, Professor Ghosh is a great man. He's kind and will help you out when you need it. That said, his lectures will be boring and he will spend 20 min overexplaining. He curves his tests A LOT. So listen well; if you just need one STAT credit, this is the guy to take. If you have future STAT classes, you may need to think about a different prof.
Made an A in the class. Didnt read a book or attend week in reviews. Lets you use a cheat sheet. Lectures are boring, and I feel like a lot of the material couldve been explained simpler. We went into more detail than needed.
10 homeworks all semester and for almost all of them he would upload a video of him working out the solutions and upload it before the due date. He curved the two tests we had 20 points. Easy A as long as you do the work.
I only attended one class, then stopped going. Never paid attention. I just read the slides, took notes, & practiced the homeworks at least 2 days before the exams. He's not very good at explaining, makes everything seem more complicated than what it really is. He gives rly good curves for every test. It's hard to not get an A if you do all the hw.
LOVED prof. Ghosh. He is by far the most understanding and caring professor Ive had at A&M. He genuinely has good intentions and works extremely hard at grading and zoom cloud recordings of hw. Lots of students took advantage of his caring nature which was annoying. He has a lot of extra credit and curves the tests well. He is GREAT.
Prof Ghosh is probably the most caring and accommodating professor I have ever had. He is active in his own groupme and very accessible outside of even business hours as a result. If you need to take more than an intro stats class, I'm not sure he is the right choice because lecture are confusing. However, if this is the only one, it will be easy A
super nice prof but don't take if you have to take more advanced stats courses. large curve... somehow got an A without going to a single class. you get a cheat sheet for exams, but could only be for covid. confusing so only take if you need one stat credit and want to get it over with. not a large workload. gave homework answers in office hours.
I went to class the very first day and never showed again. I do not know a single thing about statistics. I did not watch lectures or use the textbook. Just do well on the homework. He also curves everything by a large number of points. I could not tell you one stats term I learned. I got a B.
I didn't like his teaching style. It felt like he was just going through the motion and not actually teaching us how to do the work. He used a calculator nobody had and didn't show us how to use ours. LONG homework near the end of the semester. Exams were sometimes easy but I found them difficult. Large curves for exams which is how I did well.
Great guy but not the best professor. Did not learn much from him. Thankfully, he curved test grades for my class.
He will over explain things but just show up to class and youll do fine. You get a chest sheet for the exams and the questions are very similar if not the same as the homework and examples in lecture. The homework is once a week if that. Really easy class
Honestly, this class was not too difficult. Professor G. seems to really care about his students and their success. He curves tremendously, and always consults with the class regarding decisions. He's a really great guy. He encourages class participation & builds a relationship with his classes. I would take him again in a heartbeat.
Easy class, study the material he sends out to review for the tests and you will be fine. Exams are the bulk of the grade but he curves generously.
Professor Ghosh is so caring. He posts answers to HW before they are due. I did not learn a single thing and still got a B. He gives 20-30 point curves on tests and wants you to do well. It is hard to not get an A or B. I would not take him if you have to take upper level STATS courses, but if you just need one STATS credit he is the prof for you!
TAKE HIM!!!! I cant stress this enough, Ive had around a 114 this whole semester. As long as you memorize the reviews then your assured to get an A. Not to mention his 20+ curves on exams. Hes so sweet, genuine, and funny. If you just need to take this class because you have to for grad school then its a GPA booster!!!! Dr G > everyone else
Dr. Ghosh is a great man, I struggled on the last 2 tests because they were very formula heavy but thats just me personally since Im not good at them. However as the other reviews say he curves tests pretty heavily. I dont think anyone in my class failed and if they did its probably because they didnt go to class and/or didnt do the HW etc.
prof Ghosh's class is pretty easy to get a good grade in but his class is very boring and I found his lectures pretty hard to sit through so I taught myself most of the material on my own thought the homework. He gives like 10 point curves on his tests, but I haven't learned much from him.
His class was very easy with heavy curves. He taught things clearly and at a good pace. There wasn't much homework and he would show how to do each problem.
He is nice and understanding when it came to HW, but his lectures were hard to follow and I struggled to pay attention. He gave generous curves on tests which is nice. He lets you have a cheat sheet for tests, and I recommend writing out problems on it instead of vocabulary. I taught myself most of the material, but the HW does help.
Dr. Ghosh is a caring person. However, his lectures, especially during the later half of the semester, become unclear and honestly overcomplicate some of the concepts. I struggled near the end and had to teach myself the concepts. The exams are almost all of your grade, so you must study, even with the heavy curve.
Dr.Ghosh covers everything before the exams and emphasizes what we should put on the cheat sheet for the exams. Lectures aren't mandatory, but those who don't go to lectures tend not to do well. The exams are pretty similar to the practice exams and homework and there are very heavy curves for each exam.
Dr. Ghosh is an extremely caring professor in and out of the classroom. The content got challenging as the course progressed, but he was always available to help. He constantly asked if any of us needed clarity, and came up with creative ways to check in on how he could better teach us. Would definitely recommend taking him to anyone!
Dr Ghosh is a caring professor and wants you to understand statistics! I found stat particularly difficult and did not perform as well as I wanted to but the curves in place allowed me to get a B in the class even though I struggled with understanding the material. The course is test heavy so study well!
He cares a lot for his students and helps them in any way he can in order to get them the grade they want. He curves every exam (including the final), and there's not too much homework. I couldn't focus during his lectures, so I barely went to class (I think I stopped going after the first 2 weeks), but I still got a 103 in the class.
Dr. Ghosh is a good professor. The class is graded only by the 2 midterms, final, and homework so you really need to study hard for the exams. He has review questions for all of the exams and allows you to use a cheat sheet. All exams are curved and so is the class. I went to every class and I thought it was helpful but not many students show up.
Very nice and caring professor. I shook hands with him on the first day. Class is not mandatory and if u self learn better with math, you can learn on your own but I would attend class every once in a while just to see how far the lectures are. Very generous curves. Tried to give us as many chances as possible to get a good grade. Take him!
Professor Ghosh is an extremely caring professor and genuinely wants students to understand statistics. He is constantly answering questions outside of class and responds right away. I didn't attend class very often and winged the tests, so I didn't make a great grade, but if you go to class and ask for help, it should be an easy course!
Great person. A little confusing but does what he can to help us learn. Go through all the video recordings and try to come to class and you should be good!
Did not go to class after the first day. The homework doesn't really match the exam, but his exam review videos do. I suggest just clicking thru the videos to see the problems and working them out with the help of Google instead of listening to him because he makes everything much more confusing. Chill dude and allows you to submit homework late.
Difficult to understand, very lengthy lectures, has random attendance quizzes, his examples make it confusing
This class was HORRIBLE. His reviews were NOTHING like the tests or quizzes. My class had a class average on a 39 on one quiz. His wording was never clear causing lots of confusion.I had read that he curved a lot which made this class okay, but the most he ever curved our class was 4 points.
heard that in past years he gave huge curves. his semester he has only given one curve of 4 points. Confusing lectures. The exams/quizzes are what have messed me up due to them not being like practice ones he has provided. One of the exam averages was 68. would not take again. attendance quizzes and regular quizzes. not very helpful when struggling
I wish I had the same professor that previous semesters' reviews write about; I don't know what happened! Bloated lectures, confusing examples, difficult to understand, and does not budge on grades. Praying for an end-of-semester curve. I'm normally an A student. Don't take his class if you can help it.
lecture and test heavy. does not curve much. exams are not like the practice exams and the homework doesn't' help fully. go to class for class participation quizzes. it's a self study class so be ready to work. he's a nice prof just doesn't help our grade with 3 exams (2 midterms and a final). exams weigh 75%!
Test aren't hard if you follow the lectures on you're own time. Lets you use cheat sheets on exams which is super helpful and cares. The only thing is that his quizzes are the hardest part of the course.
Watch the week in reviews and work on making your formula sheets as good as possible. Many people counted on a curve and skipped class bc his lectures are long and can be hard to follow. Go to class, he's super helpful if you ask questions. I also had a study group that made things so much easier. This class isn't a blowoff you still have to work.
His lectures are hard to follow, but you can learn so much better by going through the lecture slides by urself. Sometimes the content is confusing esp on tests but he drops grades/curves/ and gives extra credit.
Mr. Ghosh is a extremely genuine and caring professor. The only downfall to his class is that he so thoroughly explains, that the material gets confusing. Lots of hard homework and tests are majority of grade. I can't say enough nice things about him, it was just a very hard class to learn, but he is getting better at explaining/teaching.
He is a nice guy, and we all know math is hard. But it is hard to follow him. You will have to learn this material on your own. Go to office hours, TA hours, do homework. Quizzes are harder than test, and the tests are confusing but can get it done. IF you do not pass first exam, you will struggle the rest of semester. Test are worth a lot!!
lectures are hard to follow and he often overcomplicates things. With youtube and the TAs it is not hard to get an A in this class, tests are fair and he is willing to curve/ drop grades. Just be ready to take the time to learn the materials cause his lectures are enough on their own.
This is a hard class, but the prof doesnt help. tests are wildly different form the reviews. lectures are full of proofs are arent on the test, the first time we are doing real example problems is the exam review. the homeworks are craaaazy. find the TA and be their best friend bc you will need them
He calls on you randomly to answer questions. Atendence matters. Homework every week. Mandatory quizzes every 2 weeks. 3 tests. Hard to understand.
This is a teach yourself course. His lectures are long, confusing, and it's hard to understand him. Tests are the majority of your grade, so it's hard to come back from a single mistake. Practice quiz questions/test reviews are given but usually contain mistakes that are not addressed until night before exam/quiz. Take stats somewhere else.
Professor Ghosh is VERY hard to understand and is incorrect majority of the time on both exams and lecture notes. I would definitely not take him again. The course is extremely test heavy and it is hard to come back from a low grade. He has a quiz at the end of each lecture, so attendance is mandatory.
Try taking a different professor if possible. This class was very difficult. Tests made up 75% of your grade and he curved very little and it was hard to understand his accent.
Out of all of the profs available for this course, Ghosh is the best. However, his method of teaching gets confusing and you may have to teach yourself some of the material. His practice quizzes and exams are helpful and he does curve the exams. Homework wasn't difficult but also wasn't useful for exams. Watch the WIR sessions!
The class was not too difficult, but the lectures were boring and difficult to follow along. The professor basically just read off of the slides so it was hard to maintain focus. He graded very generously - most of the tests were curved by a lot (like 10 or 15 points). Attendance was mandatory, and he took an attendance quiz at the end of class.
Although he is the best in the STAT dept, Ghosh is the WORST professor ive ever had. So many complaints. Lectures are awful to understand, he will pick on you with no shame, and he is not understanding at all. Tests are 75% of the entire grade which is ridiculous. Things like hw and quizzes that take hours to study dont weigh anything. Awful prof.
This professor really cares about student and is probably the best Stat 201 professor you could take, however, I absolutely do not recommend taking this class. Exams are 75% of your grade and it is NOTHING like the exam review, so if you are taking this class, study the practice quiz instead. The homework does not help you most of the time.
This guy's lectures are extremely hard to follow along with but the slides have worked out examples that basically give you what you need. With the homework and test reviews, there's alot of similarities on the exams. Exams are pretty tricky but there are some curves. At the end of sem the tests are more like the reviews (same questions)
Take stats elsewhere if possible. His style of teaching is not the best and you will have to learn all the material on your own time. Review questions were given for tests/quizzes but often had mistakes (also lecture slides often had mistakes too) that were hardly ever addressed. Tests are worth 75% of your grade, so don't mess up on a test.
Hard to understand, and even though he knows everyone is struggling he just marches on. Countless times where he asked the class if something made sense and no one responded with anything because we were all confused, but he moved on anyways.
This class has gotten so much harder in the past couple semesters. Ghosh seems like a nice person, but lectures are so convoluted its difficult to learn from him. The exams are also pretty hard, but he does curve them. The material itself is not too bad, just watch the Week In Review sessions, taught be another prof, and an A is very possible.
He's your best chance at an A in 212. It's a really hard class and the exams are the same across all professors but he curves a lot and is an extremely understanding professor. He really cares about teaching and his lectures are worth going to (although not mandatory). This is a really hard class that takes a lot of studying regardless of your prof
Go to lectures and just copy down proofs. They won't make sense, but will save you time on the homework that doesn't correlate to exams at all. All learning was from exam reviews. If you want an A take Ghosh (he curves an insane amount), but if you want to understand what is going on in the class take anyone else. If nothing else he is caring.
Don't take his class if you don't have to, especially if you've never taken a stats class. He is difficult to understand and makes topics more confusing than they should be. If you use the power points and youtube vids to study for the exams, you should be fine. I failed multiple quizzes but pulled through on the exams, and finished with an A.
I took STATS 301, he did our homework during the lecture so that we understood. Exams were questions from homework and reviews. He curved 15-20 points on every exam. Gave tons of extra credit. Allows 3 pages (front and back) of cheat sheets on exams. Graded on HW, Exam 1, and Final Exam. Take him, you will get an A.
We got a lot of extra points on exams and homework. Exam questions were similar to the reviews and homework. We also could use a 3-page sheet (front and back) on exams. He posted recordings of the lectures. He was flexible and took suggestions. He frequently either read off slides (which had some errors) or overcomplicated things during lectures.
Honestly, going to his lecture is such a troll. Literally, actually do the homework, and you will learn everything. If you wanna be safe, you can go over the slides the day before. The extra credit is crazy; prof is handing it out like Opra, "You get extra credit, you get extra credit, and you get extra credit, EXTRA CREDIT FOR EVERYONE!".
If you want to learn anything whatsoever I would not take him. The homework & Midterms are pretty straightforward which is the only assignments. The lectures do not correlate to any assignments or Exams and attendance in class is not a thing. If you have time to figure out the class on your own you will do fine.
This man's lecture material is extremely disorganized and requires a gross amount of time to interpret. Furthermore, his tests focus on material that wasn't covered in lecture or on the homework and has no partial credit. Even if you are well prepared, you will get nuked on the exams. The class average on the second midterm was a 47.
There is a lot of HW as well as some extra credit. Tests are very similar to the review and can also use a cheat sheet on the exams. I would say stuff a lot of your HW because he goes through a lot of material fast.
Class was okay but instructor was xenophobic. Stay away if you can.
Class lectures mainly cover the slides but the tests are similar to the reviews so it makes studying easy.
VERY boring and overly complex lectures. I learned absolutely nothing about statistics, I only learned how to solve the problems. Usually, a webassign hmwk due every week that is super easy (not good at all for preparing for the exams). I recommend taking someone else, like Crawford.
Not the best lecturer (overcomplicates concepts a lot and is very monotone), however, he was extremely responsive on discussion boards and often showed very detailed solutions to problems if asked. Gives really generous curves on everything, especially on the exam 2 which was rough this sem. He may not be perfect, but mans trying his best to help.
Ghosh's class was very easy, but I don't feel like I learned a lot. Exams were just like the review, and he curves a lot. His lectures were boring, and he tends to overcomplicate concepts, making them difficult to understand. If you want an A, take Ghosh, but if you need to build up a basic statistics knowledge for later, try for someone else.
This guy is the goat for STATS. The exams were so easy as they were just copy paste from the review. To add on to this he gave 20-30 points on every exam to EVERYONE. So if you made a 90 on the exam he would curve it up to a 120 in canvas, which gave you a lot of leeway for other exams. Just make sure to study the review and you're set for class.
DO NOT TAKE HIM!!! His accent is so strong you can't tell what he's saying, he reads directly off the slides, and his handwriting is awful so you don't know what he's writing. I had to teach myself everything and if you screw up on one exam you better pray you do well on the next one. He also keeps class 5-10 extra minutes for literally no reason
Dr. Ghosh is not the worst teacher in my opinion but he could be better. He overcomplicates topics and is sometimes difficult to understand. He gives quiz and test practice exams but doesn't always explain the answer on it. He goes over by 5-10 minutes every class and then gets upset when people leave? He's annoying but not the worst.
I had never taken a STAT class at A&M, and I will never take one again after taking this class. He was always teaching something different than what they were doing in the Week In Review, and he overcomplicated stuff every single lecture. If you take this class with him, you will need tutoring. Get it early.
This class had no reason to be this difficult and he did not teach me a thing. Luckily curve is nice but besides that you will have to teach yourself everything. Truly have never had such a bad experience in a class that should be easy, he is sweet but so incompetent.
Dr. Ghosh's lectures usually end up confusing students more than helping. I taught myself most of the content and googled calculator tricks to help solve problems that he overcomplicated. Almost every quiz had 1-3 questions with no correct answer and he would have to throw them out/give us full credit, which was nice but frustrating during the quiz
Professor Ghosh is caring and willing to answer questions, however, his lectures can be hard to understand. His handwriting can also be a bit hard to read, so if something isn't making sense be sure to ask him. The quizzes are just like the practice quizzes and examples from the slides. The test questions are from practice quizzes, tests, etc.
Take this professor! Tests were basically straight from the review (almost word-for-word), and homework was minimal. The tests are monitored throught lockdown browser via camera (He let's you have 3 front-to-back note sheets though). He offers a bunch of extra credit, so it's almost impossible to do poorly. I ended up with an 101 in the course.
I couldn't get into Crawford's class so I got stuck with this guy. He's not bad, but his online lectures are so boring and honestly you could just copy the notes from the slideshows and never go to class. The HWs are long but help you understand the material, and the exams weren't bad except for conceptual questions, very similar to exam reviews.
Terrible lectures, overcomplicates everything, even the easiest topics will seem hard when explained by him. Although said to be "accessible" outside of class, he tends to pick & choose which emails and questions to answer. HW answers would be wrong frequently and even when emailed, will not fix your grade for points back. Do not take if possible.
He tends to overcomplicate lectures, but his slides have all the information you need, and attendance isn't required so you can just study the class on your own. There wasn't a substantial amount of extra credit but he did curve at the end of the semester. I felt the class was more challenging than other profs STAT211s, but you will learn a lot
Professor is hard to understand and teaches simple concepts in the most complex way possible. However, he gives very generous curves.
Look I know the lectures can be a little longwinded, but honestly its not that bad. The exams are just like the web assign homework so you can just crunch the practice problems and score 95+ on each exam. Its just about the effort you put into practice problems that will determine how well you do. Professor lets you create your own formula sheet.
Ghosh's STAT211 has a reputation for being an easy A, thanks to generous curves and exams that closely mirror the review material. While lectures can be dull, using resources like Unstuckstudy alongside the course materials can help make studying a breeze. Overall, a good choice if you want a stress-free statistics credit.
Made me realize I didn't want a stats minor. You will need to put in a great deal of effort, even if it is online. Lock in and solve the homework problems out if you want to learn. If you want an easy A, this isn't the professor for you.
One of the better Stat professors. Pay attention in class and do the homework and you'll easily pass. Exams are just like the review and with a cheat sheet it's very easy to get near perfect scores on exams.
He's a decent professor sometimes he rambles on a bit. He records everything so you don't have to go to class at all and there's only hw and exams. The hw can be long but as long as you space it out and review the practice exams and hw since the exams are really similar you'll get an A easily.
Pretty decent professor. His lectures are pretty useless, as he reads directly off the slides like clockwork. I would recommend not showing up to class, as he uploads all lectures on Canvas. Homework is very long, sometimes up to 30 questions per assignment. Tests are very easy. Honestly you can't go wrong with this guy, STATS 211 is an easy class.
Super nice guy, unfortunately his lectures are quite boring, but I do wish more people would show up just so he has more people to teach because you can tell he enjoys teaching. Super easy class as long as you show up every now and then, but my grade is mostly self-taught.
Don't let the reviews fool you. I got a 98 and I'm not even great at stats or numbers. Most people don't attend lectures, which probably explains the low averages. The exams are very straightforward, but they make up 80% of your grade. Honestly, if students put in a little time and effort, they would probably do well and enjoy the class a lot more.
He just reads off the slides and lectures are long/boring, so I stopped showing up early on. Exams are similar to review. I used youtube to learn everything.
Dr. Ghosh is a really good professor. Attendance is optional, and he posts all lecture material on Canvas, including lecture recordings, so it's easy to catch up. There are two midterm exams and one final, all online and taken from home, and you get to use cheat sheets. For STAT211, take him 100%. It's an easy A
Don't have to go to class bc lectures recorded, boring and monotone. Doesn't actually teach, just reads off the slides. Take someone else if you actually care about stats.
601: please take another prof. If you can't..my advice - master every practice problem set he gives. but it will be hard bc he posts 100 problems b4 each exam LAST minute on top of having theory heavy, hard to understand lectures and extensive hw problems. you will have 0 time to breathe. he does curve tho. lowest test avg's were in 10's…
Lectures are boring, reads off the slides. Stats is standardized right now. So any prof is going over the same material. Go to another lecture. Or watch Scott Crawford on yt. That's what I did and didn't attend a single class.
No attendance required, if you cant get scott crawford then Youtube University this class because he just reads off slides and work gets messy during his lectures. Overall nice guy and accessible and the exams are similar to the practice exams.
