made me love stats, so entertaining, and makes concepts easy to understand
Take Dr. Auer, He is such a funny guy
entertaining, helpful, fair tests, a lil off the wall
Quasi-Modo looking, but honestly one of the best stat teachers EVER
No Comments
Despite the rating, I really can't stand stats. The class moves lethagically through material and is, in my opinion, very very *boring*. On the plus side though, he's a nice guy and both helpful, and clear.
Great teacher, makes concepts easy and helps you out a lot. Funny guy, really random though, but makes you laugh. Take this class.

He's a great guy and I generally enjoyed his class. He's really random in his lectures and sometimes can be hard to follow but overall he's a great professor.
dr. auer is the funniest teacher ever. very random in his actions, always keeps you laughing.. makes class not so bad, even though kinda long. otherwise, he makes it worth it
Very nice, funny guy, who wants you to do well.
Great guy. Teaches a funny class. Pretty easy grader. Pay attention in class. No attendance policy, little homework.
EASY A unless you are really slow like some of the kids in my class. He's a good guy who knows his statistics!
Take Auer! He's a nice guy, is definetly willing to help you. I took AP stat in high school and this is much much easier.
very funny without trying to be...loved him...snorts and wears purple pants, but its fine...very easy class...def take him
makes funny noises
this guys crazy. easy class.
Nicest man ever, one of the best teachers I have ever met, he's incredibly helpful and really wants his students to do well, class is not hard if you put effort into it, I highly recommend him
This guy is the best stats professor that I had so far. Trying to take him for all the stats courses that I need to take. Makes class fun all of the time. Great person to drop by and say hi to. Will teach you a lot of things. Highly reccommended.
Auer is amazing! So nice and so jolly, although half the time I'm not sure I really even know what he is saying. Always willing to help and moves fairly slowly through content, giving you more then enough time to understand them.
Thought my brain was leaking out of my ears. Class drags, stupifyingly easy, but not a pretty sight. Probably a nice guy, but *boring*.
I'm not a math whiz but we have to take math in this sch...Auer's u're main...loves his job and tries to make it practical...Minitab sucks..and boy does he make an hr and half feel like eternity..but this is def. the class to be in..workload bearable...u won't regret!
Best teacher. Really funny, a very fair grader, and he lets you bring a sheet of paper to the final filled front and back with whatever formulas or notes you want. I hated stat in high school, and now i love it because of him. He goes slow and if you pay attention in class you'll do really well.
Awesome teacher! A lot of fun and very easy! Lays everything out very clearly. Tests are extremely fair. He's not out to get his students.
very wierd guy, class is easy
Haha Auer is the man. A weird guy, a bit eccentric, but awesome. Class is easy, and he makes it fun. Really funny, and always available for help. doesn't just teach how to do stat on the calculator, he'll teach you how to actually do it, and it's a lot easier. DEFINITELY take auer.
Easier then any of my high school math classes. He is very straightforward, puts all the work out there. Great, nice guy. Lets you use a review sheet for the final. I recommend him for into to stats if u need to take it. Class drags though but he does try to make stats fun which i'm sure is really hard to do :)
such a good teacher. so funny. i took stat in high school but did horribly & never understood it. now i actually get it AND like it. always willing to help & very straightforward tests. lets you bring a sheet of notes to the final! but if you go to class you won't even need it.
very helpful teacher. he does whatever he can to make sure his students do their best and that they understand the material. it's so obvious that he loves what he does. tests are fair... not too hard. as long as you show up for class and pay attention, you'll do fine.
Dr. Auer is the man! Classes can either be very funny or very deep pending on what he feels like doing. Material was a mere extension fo ST210, and tests aren't hard if you prepare well for them. The man loves his stats and can help you love them too. Lots of HWs and "projects"
Took this class with a couple of other guys from the soccer team... maybe in 2000... great class; Dr. Auer is hilarious and used to talk about "Big Brother" all the time and who should get voted out of the house. Not very difficult if you are mathematically inclined; I think I ended up with over a 100% average, after extra credit was included.
Great teacher, very nice guy, a little unstructured, but makes up for it in clarity. He wont try and trick you at all. Do the homework, follow the directions for projects and go to class. He makes class entertaining and helpful. Take Auer, you cant go wrong.
Crazy guy. Horrifyingly boring class. Rambles on about random stuff that doesn't have to do with stat. A bunch of pretty simple projects to do and homework every once in a while (once a week or once every two weeks). Tests are pretty straightforward. I guess I'd take the class.. I don't really have very strong feelings about it...
CAKE! he is boring tho and extra random
LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM! He's funny and makes statistics as enjoyable as its going to be. He explains everything well and it's easy if you pay attention during class. Definitely take him!
Auer is awesome! He is absolutely hilarious, which helps keep class moving. And he's very helpful, willing to help with homework or the material any time. Even if you're not into math, he explains everything thoroughly. Homework and projects are never too bad and he encourages you to work together. Definitely take him!
take this class
Probably my favorite teacher at Loyola. Taking his class is one of the best decisions you can make. He's able to explain everything so that it's clear and understandable. He's also funny and will do random things to keep attention on him. Some advice: talk movies with him. He'll absolutely fall in love with you. Take Auer for stat period.
Very nice dude and very into Math.
Quirky, but funny sometimes. class is clear. good professor
easy easy easy! funny teacher but class is sometimes boring. tests are easy if you study and you can be on your phone the whole time in class
Maybe it's because I'm in the easiest stat class here but Auer is EASY! He is a great teacher who can make you laugh (even in the 6pm section), and is always there to help. If you're a student who is starting stat for the first time, or is not into math and needs a math course, take Dr. Auer. He's truly the man!
Easiest math class of my life. We spent a week on mean, median and mode. Also, Auer is hysterical. He's so clear about everything, and on the final you get a piece of paper with any notes you want on it. Only counts 3 of 6 quizzes. Loved this man so much. If I needed another math I'd take him again in a heartbeat.
In terms of shear teaching, Dr. Auer is one of the best professors I have had at Loyola, and one of the best math/stat professors I've had in my life - and I'm not even a math Major/Minor. Fair, understanding of students, and one of the funniest/quirkiest people you'll have the pleasure of being taught by: "I love the pull through parking space".
Auer is AMAZING. Hysterical, helpful, quirky, explains things with so many visuals. EASY. Homework is given with each chapter, but never collected, he emails the answers so you can check them. You basically can just study his answer sheets for quizzes without doing hw. Drops 3 quizzes out of 6. Personally knows you by name. WORTH THE 6:00 CLASS!!!
Genuinely great guy. Really cares about his students doing well. If you have any questions he will clear them up during office hours and you will do very very well. I would highly recommend taking Dr. Auer.
Prof. Auer is so enthusiastic about stat and loves what he does. He wants everyone to do well and is always in his office if you need him. This class is a breeze if you go to class and pay attention. Really easy to get a high grade in this class. He's out there and hilarious, which always makes the class fun!
Dr. Auer is a great guy, cares about his students, and really wants them to succeed. However, he can be very unclear in his lectures and occasionally goes on tangents. He makes it relatively easy to get a good grade. I would highly reccommend him if you have already taken statistics in high school or have a good background on it.
Truly a great teacher. Not a harsh grader and teaches you everything he expects you to know.
I LOVED him! Great teacher! Makes the class so much fun and is just such a goofy guy (in a good way). You will definitely be laughing during his class. He also drops some of the quiz grades and you are allowed to do homework with a partner and put both names on it. Knows every persons name which is nice. I would love to take him again if I could.
Very clear teacher, makes stat easy to understand. Very positive, extremely fair grader, makes sure you get lots of practice. 6 quizzes but he only keeps the top 3 scores. I LOVE HIM. He loves statistics
Dr. Auer is the wackiest professor I have ever had, but he really knows his stuff, teaches it well, and is ALWAYS willing to help you. There are 4 quizzes and he drops your 2 lowest grades, and he gives extra credit if you hand projects in early. The class is super easy and you don't really have to pay attention in class. Take this class!
Dr. Auer is the best! At first I was a little skeptical because he was a little goofy, but he ended up being a great teacher and made math fun- who knew? There wasn't much work outside of class at all and he was a very fair grader. He takes time to know all of his students and their interests and has so many great stories. Would 100% recommend him!
Wackiest guy ever but thats what makes class fun and interesting. He genuinely takes the time out to get to know all his students and assist in any way possible! 4 quizzes drop the 2 lowest grades, 4 projects, 2 midterms and final, seems like a lot but all were unimaginably easy. BE READY TO LAUGH!
"Wacky" is definitely the right word to describe Auer. Two pieces of advice: Go to his office at least once, and establish a relationship with him. Get to know him and you'll hear some wild stories, and may even see your name in your next exam!
Ricky was the best professor I ever had. He was very passionate about his job and was always there when you needed him. He stays late throughout the week, so even if it's super late, he's probably in his office. He always offers extra help sessions before quizzes and exams. He is also full of jokes. Be sure to ask about Jeremy if you take him
Dr. Auer is my favorite teacher! If you don't like teachers who tend to go off-topic he may not be for you, he's a bit quirky but I had the best time taking his class. He gives 3 tests and 4 quizzes but he only counts your 2 best quizzes. He gives projects that are very straightforward. He goes at a pretty slow pace and makes the class very easy!
He made statistics into something that was fun and accessible for everyone. He had clear grading criteria and was really great at breaking down and explaining complex math subjects. He wants students to do well and would often explain something in different ways to make sure everyone got the concept
Dr. Auer was one of the best professors I've had so far. If you're not good at math or just looking for an easy A for the requirement I would 100% recommend him. He's really goofy and super nice and grades super easy. He posts everything you need and truly tries his best to let everyone get a good grade.
Dr. Auer, or Rico as his students call him, is one of the greatest professors at Loyola. If you're not great at math, DON'T WORRY! There are endless opportunities to succeed in his class. His lectures are fun and light hearted; sometimes you forget you're learning math! Would definitely take from him again.
Rico is one of the best professors I've had. He makes stats easy to understand and is extremely willing to meet with you outside of class. Sometimes he gets lost in his tangents, but he always finds his way back. He tells you to buy a textbook but you don't need it, better off using his practice problems.
I love rico! He is really willing to help you and wants you to succeed. As long as you study the quizzes and homeworks you will be fine on the exam. He gives you a number of homeworks throughout the semester but drops the two lowest ones, same goes for quizzes. Such a character and will talk your ear off about bingo or music. Really caring.
I didn't like the way he taught, but it is helpful for studying. He prints papers with everything you need to know and goes over it for 50 minutes. If you study the material you'll be just fine and he gives you SO MANY STUDY MATERIALS. Tests/quizzes are EZ if you can deal with the mostly pointless lectures. very helpful after class too
Rico is the best! Always singing pop songs and can go on hilarious tangents. He drops 1 or 2 trabajitos (weekly assignments very easy & can work with a partner) of the 5. Provides many opportunities to get bonus points like turning in on paper or early. There are 3 exams that are simple and he provides study guides. Cares about DSS. Made stats fun
Rico is an amazing professor and makes Stat really easy to learn!I have never taken a stats class before and taking him was the best decision!Although he requires a book, we only used it once and all other handouts were on moodle. Quizzes, exams are easy and study guides are given. He helps with the Trabajitos and they prepare you for the exam/quiz
While he is really friendly and easily accessible for outside help, he can be difficult to follow in class. Rico will go on tangents about off topic things or not clearly explain certain concepts. He also required a textbook we did not use. Overall is a great person but can be confusing as a professor.
Rico is one of the funniest people I've ever met and a great guy. He truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. You do have to do the work to get a good grade but it's easy. The only thing is his wording on assignments can be confusing but gets easier to understand over time.
Rico is very funny and interesting, but easily goes off topic in class. Sometimes I found myself having to play catch up and it was impossible to understand some handouts. He is very understanding and cares about his students just very confusing at times.
As someone who struggles with math, this was not the class for me. Rico's enthusiasm was awesome and he is a great guy but it was often difficult to get the help I needed. His handouts were often unclear and the Trabajitos (mini assignments) were sometimes difficult to understand. The class was bearable but unnecessarily difficult at times.
great guy,funny but when it comes to teaching I don't think ive ever struggled so much in a math class. He easily gets off topic during his lectures which makes learning hard sometimes and you have to try and catch up before a test. He doesn't update Moodle but hands out where you are on slips, practice/study and go tooffice hours if you wanna pass
Rico is so funny! Enjoyed the class and if you do all the work, grades are easy. He usually drops a few things and that def helps
Rico is a kind hearted man. He wants all of his students to succeed and makes it very easy to as well. His tabajitos get a little bit difficult at the end of the semester but he drops a large amount of assignments through the semester. But get ready to hear about Olivia Rodrigo.
Rico is one of my fav professors. He is SO passionate about teaching and really loves his students. He tends to get off track in class but he's very accessible if u have questions. He drops a lot of grades, and the exams are very straightforward. He gives u everything u need, take advantage of it, and establish a relationship w him!
Very nice man. Lectures will put you to sleep. Gets distracted easily but tells funny stories. Doesn't tell you what you got wrong on assignments/tests. Assignments can be confusing. Go to office hours.
He makes every class memorable and prioritizes his students. He'll crack jokes and start singing randomly. Pretty laid back as you're respectful. Don't order the textbook. Small weeklybiweekly assignments called "trabajitos" and provides a rubric for what to expect to be graded on. Lots of chances for extra credit and rounds up most exam/quizzes.
One of the best teachers I have had starting back in Kindergarten, STATS 110 is super easy with him. You have to take it
favorite teacher highly recommend taking
He is honestly my fav prof ever and his corny jokes are the best. He is such an easy grader and if you communicate with him and show effort then he will help you. He has helped me study and raising my grade because he knows how hard i worked for it. coming from a non-math person- take his class.
I can see why he has so many good ratings, but I had a different experience with him. He is very funny. I personally struggled because I'm a visual learner and he just sits at the front and reads to you what to write down or draw. Especially with math I need it shown on the board. He also got sidetracked so so much.
LOVE Rico. If you are already kinda good at math this class will be a breeze. Goes off on a lot of tangents but spends a lot of time making sure we know the material. Mini projects every week and you get extra credit just for doing it with a partner. Definitely take his class he's always doing something crazy so you won't fall asleep
Amazing. Take him. So easy.
If you want to learn stat, don't take this class. Didn't take stat in high school and couldn't have been more lost. Funny guy, but also super weird. Questions are worded in such a confusing way. You won't learn any of the material in class. You can only know your grade by a TINY slip of paper he hands out with tiny numbers. Not structured well.
