Terrible. He teaches stats like we have already studied it. Says it's "easy" when it's not. Makes stats more difficult than it should be. A nice guy though, don't get me wrong. With his accent you REALLY have to listen to him. Stats is hard enough but to have to sit there and listen that much closer.. you end up missing things. I will never take him again. Somewhat helpful.
