He was very unhelpful during the entire class. Unusual office hours. His tests were not straight to the point and too much confusion during answering the questions. Given that he has a strong accent he pretty much wrote and answered his own questions on the board. He did not give anyone a chance to reason. Very strict grading policy.

He teaches so that you can some what understand the content, but he tries to push too much at once.. The tests are not THAT hard, but he is a very hard grader and wants the questions he asks to be answered the same way the book states it... Basically if you dont have to take this class, then dont.

if you can actually sit through this BORING lectures you'll pass. i didn't but then again i never went. only 3 tests including final (which can double and replace lowest grade). writes small, heavy accent you sometimes can't understand, and DOES NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS. but he does teach really slow so if you pay attention you'll retain most of it.

He is one of the sweetest men I have ever met. All my classes closed and he was the only Stats teacher. He spent two weeks trying to get me into his class. I studied five minutes before his exams and I got super high b's and he gives you extra credit at. AWESOME TEACHER! TAKE HIM!

He's is a really sweet man, I'll give him that much. But horrible teaching style. I could not understand a WORD he said the whole semester :( I am horrible at math and I need to a really good professor that explains everything in detail well, and he was not the guy. So if you're not good at math, I don't recommend him. If you are, then go for it.

Classic old school teacher: Don't come in late. Don't use your cellphone. Don't talk in class. Just go to every lecture, sit in, and follow his powerpoints. He's really an amazing teacher and he doesn't assign homework. Everything is explained clearly! He has his power points in a booklet that you can get at the bookstore. I highly recommend him.

I'm not one to come in here and talk smack about a teacher. I got a B in the class and this class cannot possibly be easier. So you might ask, why did I not get an A? this guy took off points from each of my exams bringing them all down to a B for all the wrong reasons, and I mean questions with correct answers showing work and all! WHAT IS THAT!!!

let me just add to that I'm usually a straight A student, I don't have a clue how this guy gets away with this crap! I wasnt the only one in class he did it to, from other people he would take different number of points off having the same work done, which shows the grading is completely inconsistant! its like he dislikes giving A's where deserved!

Didnt really use the texbook in this class, but you do need the orange book with all his powerpoints. I studied off of that all semester and got an A. Pretty easy class, just study and take notes from the orange book and your good to go.

He is amazing. He's easy to get an A in if you go over all the note that you will use in class. They're already made for you. 4 tests, one extra cred quiz. If anyone hates him or did poorly its because they didn't go to class. Homework is not due but he gives supplementary homework which is almost exactly whats on the test.

Amazing professor that really knows how to teach stats. There are 3 exams and a cuml. final exam. Prof. Gomez does not believe in memorizing formulas, but rather getting the overall concept. If you pay attention to what's in the coursepack and know that to a tee, then you will do well on his exams. He is also willing to help students at any time

Here is a fact, if I don't like my professor I don't do well on his class. He suffers from some kind of rage/anxiety disorder, he humiliated me several in class.He is not a bad professor,he is systematic & organized. If you study like crazy, and he likes you, you will do well. NEVER get late or go to the bathroom without asking, you will regret it

Professor Gomez is very strict on having the coursepack and calculator. You need the book for the tables and mostly for stats 2 since it has the additional chapter at the end of the book. He is by far the best stats professor at FIU. Take him. Got nothing less than an A on each test. Just study and ask questions if you don't understand anything

Take him! First of all, let me start off by saying that I do not like nor am I good at math. I took college algebra (mac 1105) and ended up with a C. I took Stats 1 in the summer and ended up with a B. The last exam replaces lowest test score. Miss class DO NOT leave early. He WILL call you out. He did this to everyone who walks out before time.

GOMEZ is cool. His accent is strong however he is a great teacher and cares a lot about his students! He is very explanatory and will help you with anything. He has his own packet designed for the class so you don't have to take any notes. He is a great teacher and if you have to take stats- take it with him. Very easy to get an A if you try!

This guy is self righteous and irrational, can barely understand a word he says and yells at his students for going to the bathroom during class. He doesn't care about you or your grade and I have no idea why he even got into teaching in the first place. More of a predator than a teacher, with zero margin for error. DO NOT TAKE HIM!

Dr. Gomez is the best Stats professor in FIU. He makes everything very clear for you and gives a lot of examples, similar to those in the exams. His class comprises 4 exams, a Quiz and a final. All of them are very easy if you pay attention and prepare for them. Yes, he can be rude if you get late to his class, he hates it, but still take him!

Professor Gomez breaks statistics for you down Barney Level. There is really no way to not understand how to do the problems and he gives you all the formulas, not force you to memorize them. Also, he is always available to you during office hours or if you need extra times he will help you.

NO PHONES ALOWED, and you must ask for permission to use bathroom. Also if you're going to be late don't bother going he'll call you out.

I would recommend you to take this class. Professor Gomez explains very well and help you during his office hours if you have any questions or even if you do not know how to use your calculator. He reviews important information at the beginning of class and tells you one week before the exact day of the test.

He has a strong accent and it's sometimes difficult to understand what he's trying to explain. However he has a customized book that are exactly what he is teaching in class step by step so that helps if you follow along (you don't have to go to class). He really cares about the students understanding the material and is always willing to meet you.

Professsor Gomez was kind of obnoxious, in the sense that he treats his students like high school students; ask permission to use bathroom, humiliates you if he catches you on your phone. But he taught well and slow enough so that you really understood what he was talking about. Overall, a good professor. Would take again.

He is extremely BORING so keeping up with him in class is quite the task. There are only three exams and a cumulative final. The first two exams are easy, just study the course pack, the third exam, not so much. There is also no online homework or regular homework that needs to be turned in or anything, and the textbook is not mandatory.

Gomez is actually a good professor. He can be very boring and it can be hard to pay attention in class at times but he's very knowledgeable. The only grades for this class are the exams. There's 3 exams and a final, which replaces one of the lowest exam grades so you should do good in the class. I barely studied for the exams, passing is super easy

Right off the bat you could tell he is passionate and well educated on statistics, he enjoys teaching. His lectures are very thorough, he's always willing to help and is extremely kind. You will probably fail if you don't attend any lectures unless you're very good at math or do homework on your own. Stats lab is the only drawback but its helpful.
