A wonderful instructor! Makes statistics and math easy for anyone. His lectures are clear and understandable, and he is very helpful. One of the best teachers I have ever had. I reccomend taking any of his classes. He makes math fun for anyone!

Great teacher. He knows what he is doing, knows how to teach, and knows how to make math fun and understandable for everyone.
Best teacher I ever had. I would recommend him to everyone.
Ok, rumor has it that he is the best statistics teacher at AVC. when you listen to him you will learn, yes learn. No attendance but you must come to class to understand whats going on. He is goofy but clear so you can take very good notes. this is a hard math course so I recommend him big time
Incrediable! You don't really have to buy the book. Everything he teaches will be on his lectures. Best math teacher I had ever had.
This class is not easy for everyone. For ordinary students like me, he is very hard, and can't explain math clearly.
I hate math so much and he made it almost. . .easy for me. He's great, very helpful and a pleasant person as well. He does his best not to make students feel intimidated and truly wants to help us learn, not make us fail.
I AM NOT A MATH PERSON. I HAVE NEVER FOUND IT TO BE EASY AND AMAZINGLY ENOUGH THIS GUY MADE EVERYTHING CLEAR AND EASIER THAN I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. HE IS A LAUGHABLE, INTELLIGENT MAN WITH MUCH KNOW ON THE SUBJECT. HIS CLASS IS A MUST-TAKE! I LUCKILY CRASHED THE COURSE AS THE LAST NUMBER PULLED FROM THE HAT, I WON 2 ROUNDS WITH ONE NUMBER!
This is the best math teacher I've ever had in my life.
I would def take this teacher again for any math class. He made stats so easy to understand and he is a easy grader as well. Very approachable.
Quite possibly the best Stats teacher in the WORLD. I suck at math and I hate it and failed Geometry twice. I took this class after not having taken a math class in over five years and got a B! He makes is incredibly easy to understand and will go over something a million times if you need him to. TAKE HIS CLASS!
great teacher
Professor Seiger is awesome. He makes class interesting and understandable and gives a lot of help. I know many people who highly recommend him
No Comments
he is a very cool/ funt teacher with a hysterical laugh and i would recommend him to everybody because he is a great teacher
Wonderful man, great teacher. Do you homework and you'll do well. You have to be proactive about it though. Don't get lazy like I did - that earned me my B . . . :}
This guy make Urkel look like the heiht of sophistication
He makes class easy, although you've got to read your book to understand 100%. he's highly recommended by many people and he's pretty easy. if you pay attention, you will pass.
Mr.Sieger is off the hook!!!! He is excellent at teaching. I was afraid of taking this math class and he has eased my fears. He explains everything step by step, even how to input the equation on the calculator!! No one will fail in his class if you do your homework, and take all your tests
he brakes stuff down really good
He loves teaching this subject and is willing to answer all questions in class, but he's not to helpful in one on one help. He throws out the lowest grade from 1 quiz and 1 exam. This bumped my grade from a D to a B - cant complain!
I thought stats was going to be hard, but this guy makes stats easy and fun. I have a three hour class each week and I love it
he is great i like him, very easy just study the notes and do the problems for hm and show up for the review and you shall pass, goood man.
I wasnt sure about taking stats. I heard it was going to be incredibly hard but after having dr. siegar explain everything. Piece of cake. I got 100 on my first test, 99's on my 2nd and 3rd. And i never did one homework problem. As long as you take notes on what he goes over in class.. you'll be fine!
I can not believe how incredible this guy is. He could teach statistics to ANYONE!!
I suck at math and I was able to pass this class. He actually stayed after to help me, nice. Test are multiple choice. he tosses out the lowest grade and give xtra credit. Although I still had to get a tutor I would have never taken another teacher for this subject. Seiger rules!!! passed with a B
I took his statistics class, and was actually a little bored. However, he was a really good teacher. If you're not very good at math, i would recommend him, because he explains the subject more than one way, which is why I was bored, I understood the first time, but sat through the rest still. He's weird, and seems hyper, but really nice.
He is such an awesome teacher. Im horrible at math.. and passed his class with an A. I didnt do one homework problem. You just have to make sure you show up for the reviews and study the notes he gives and you'll do fine. I wish i could have him teach all my classes!
I was not sure what to think at first, but he is a great professor. He is brilliant, and he has an over all excitement for math. Its refreshing to see someone so excited for the subject they teach. The class is difficult if you don't study, but he comes up with great techniques to help you remember formulas. I learned alot. Definite recomendation.
I really enjoyed his class, he makes it fun and refreshing. You do have to study, but he teaches exactly what's going to be on the test. I recommend him to anyone taking Math 115.
He will do whatever it takes to make you do well. His quizzes are just like the homework, and his tests are just like the quizzes. He goes over every homework assignment (which is not even turned in). I think he is fun and fair and I do highly recommend him as a teacher!
Really great teacher. I dropped stats before because I thought it was so hard, but then took it again with Siegler and got an A. He spells it out for you, making the math easy. As long as you attend his lectures consistently, it is very easy to get a good grade. Don't even need the book if you take notes and show up everyday.
He's the greatest professor. REALLY EASY!!! He spells everything out and tells you exactly what will be on the test, alot of the ?'s are on the weekly quizes. He's awsome. Anyone can pass his class. Loved him.
I honestly do not know what to say. I thought this would be a fairly easy class after reading all these comments about how easy he is. The class was extremely hard, the tests were very difficult, and he really does not prepare you for the tests, other then telling you to review the quizzes. Thank god I will never have to hear that laugh again.
My advice to you is to buy the book and do the unmandatory homework.The way he lectures is a little useless if you don't.
Just the word "Statistics" makes it sound easy- 4 out of 5 dentists surveyed" ... the subject is quite difficult. Professor Sieger was a big help to me, and made himself available for answering questions. Not really a fan of math, but this professor got me through it, so I am a fan of his.
Excellent teacher! would recommend him to anyone, makes class easy to understand and explains in different ways until you do understand. HW is optional, but recommend doing it, bcuz it helps with the quizzes/tests. Super easy class. Recommend his 100%!!!
MR SIEGER ROCKS!!! He is so helpful and he knows his stuff! he is by far the best teacher i have had!! he goes over the non mandatory homework in the beginning of every class and does the problems that will be on the quiz the test are just like the quizzes but with different numbers and the final is just like the tests. MR SIEGER ROCKS... got an A
He is a great teacher. The notes are what is on the quiz and the homework is also whats on the quiz. He makes the quizes really easy. He also tells you six of the 13 problems that will be on the final and you get to drop your 3 lowest quiz grades. AND your final replaces your lowest test grade! If you do the homework & come to class you'll get the
Very good teacher. Do the homework and use it to study for the tests. You will do good. I did not read the book at all and got an easy A.
PROFESSOR SIEGER IS VERY HELPFUL. HE MAKES A COMPLICATED SUBJECT VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND. HE REALLY CARES ABOUT HIS STUDENTS. THIS TEACHER IS A GENIOUS. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS CLASS.
Okay hes a total goofball, but he really keeps you on your toes! Best Teacher at AVC. Please please take for Stats. If you love math you'll love him, if you hate it, he'll change your mind and make it fun! No freakin joke I hate math to all extends but he's great! Wait to get him if you can you gotta get in his class!
keeps it simple, but there is alot to remember. very good at prompt grading & feedback. Vwry organized.
He is a very good teacher. He teaches at a good pace. If you do not understand a problem he will take the time out to make sure you do. He gives homework but you do not have to turn it in. His class consists of quizzes and tests.
He makes everything so simple that a monkey could understand him. Take him.
Professor Sieger's statistics class was incredible! He is so nice and always smiling. His class is inviting and joyous. He has a way with making math seem so simple and understanding. I loved his class and I love him as a teacher. I recommend him.
Took him for Stats. Great professor, sort of a goofball but very sweet and he will remember your name even if you don't think he does lol. Very helpful though!!!
As a math major, I found the lectures to be rather tedious and boring. The homework isn't collected, so I never did any and I ended up with a very easy A.
Mr. Sieger is an AMAZING teacher. He is so helpful. I don't understand what all these other people are talking about him being boring?? He explains everything in complete clarity. I suck at math and he makes it seem so easy. Take him for statistics you will not regret it.You save $200 because you don't need the book.
this teacher is amazing!!!!! he's my favorite teacher at avc. he explains the material extremely well and is always there to answer your questions. i realllly recommend you take this teacher if you want to learn and get an A!
Mr.Sieger is the graetest math teacher I have ever had!I had him for stats, and it was the last math class I needed.I wasn't looking forward to this class,but he made everything so much easier.He has his own way of teaching, I'm not really sure what it is...but it works!Take Sieger if you wwant to understand math, and enjoy it as well :)
Had him for Stats....he's great.I hated math until i took his class. He made it easy for me.I HIGHLY recommend this teacher.
This teacher can make people laugh without telling jokes. Zero also happens to be a pizza without toppings. Highly recommend.
Such a sweet teacher! His lectures are so clear 2 understand. Makes jokes along the way. HW not mandatory but its best you do it for practice cuz u get quized every week. Exams arent super hard,I got perfect scores all the time (plus extra credit) & I have a hard time understanding math. Just study what he gives you. Best math teacher! Take him! :)
Great teacher, very helpful, makes Math the easiest subject ever. No need for book, only study from homework, if you do, easy A.Take him you wont regret it!
He was a GREAT teacher ever !!!!!!! He is very helpful and nice :) If you know how to count, you will get an A in this class.
He is such a sweetheart! One of the sweetest ever! He'll definitely make you laugh. He's a genius at Math, although isn't the best at explaining. But it's easy to figure out on your own. Take him, you'll love him!
Great teacher. I can't say enough about him. Clear lectures, homework not turned in but weekly tests on homework or notes. Actually made statistics easy. Very sweet and kind but sticks to his rules. Will go out of his way to help you if you request it. Homework and tests graded promptly.
He made've been goofy (and at times, annoying), but he is really a great teacher. Homework not mandatory because he does it on the board the next class section. But it is recommended to do so. Plus if you don't get the assignment, ask him and he will help you. Overall, a very good teacher to have for Statistics.
He explains everything SO clearly! He is a great teacher, and he's very sweet! It can get a lil boring especially if you're good at math but I guess it helps the "slower" folks...Subject starts getting harder towards the end, but just do hw and study and you'll get an easy A
This is the only professor you should take for Statistics! I am not really interested in math and I wanted to take calculus with him because if any professor could teach this subject and help the uninterested succeed he could!Enjoy!
AMAZING professor! He is so helpful and explains things so well! Even if math isn't your thing, you should be able to comprehend the material with his methods. Take him!
He is easy. He does the homework at the beginning of class so I never had to do it. Everything on the quizzes is what will be on the test so study the quizzes. Tests are only 10-12 questions long and one of them is a bonus. Saturday is the best class never stayed the whole time and had more time to plus he follows his syllabus.
He is a great professor, very easy to understand but if you wanna get a good grade in his class you gotta do the homework.
Professor Sieger is so awesome that I took the time to come rate him! He is such a sweetheart. Completely helpful & charismatic. He will make sure you understand what he is talking about. His quizzes and tests are easy as long as you understand the information and they are short as well! Homework isn't mandatory. I completely recommend him! :)
If you don't like Math and you need a class to transfer, take him. You don't need the book, you don't need to do HW, you have 4 quizzes, 3 test, and the final. Notes will help for quizzes, quizzes + notes + ask for a review the day before the test will help you for the test. His laugh though, it does get annoying, great guy though.
Professor Sieger is AMAZING! I was really scared to take a STATS class because I have never really been great at math, However, professor Sieger makes everything so easy to understand, and he gives you hints about what questions might be on your test. He also goes over the homework during class, and what he goes over will most likely be on the quiz
Best math teacher I've ever had!! Btw don't waste the money on the book. You absolutely never use it. Just take notes and listen to everything he says and u will pass with little effort at all. He is great at explaining things and there is No Homework ever!!! This class made me love math again :)
Mr. Sieger was recommended to me by another AVC instructor. Very good instuctor. Loved the class. There IS homework, which you will need the book for. Tests are from class lectures, so write everything down he writes on the board. That helped me alot! I was not bored & looked forward to class. If u r lazy & dont study, u deserve to fail.
The most amazing Math teacher I have ever had. Sieger is extremely kind, extremely helpful, and extremely smart. He makes things easy with his kind of teaching. The book is not required, since he writes all the homework problems. If you have to take a math class, take him! This professor is true to his students, and wants to see you succeed.
Best class ever! You do NOT need the book. I never used it and got an A. Just take notes and u will pass. NO HOMEWORK EVER! That's the best part of the class. Your grade is based on 3 tests, 4 quizzes and a final. Easiest class I ever took.
Professor Sieger is one of the best teachers I have ever had. Although I already enjoy Math quite a bit he makes it comical, less cumbersome, and even exciting. You don't need the book at all except for the homework (which he provides the first 4 weeks of in the syllabus). He is very thoughtful and kind. TAKE HIM IF YOU HAVE THE OPTION!
I have so much respect for this teacher. He really knows stats and explains it really well. Don't think its an easy A though a lot of people did fail because they did not pay attention. Pay attention and you are sure to pass. Homework is optional and there's quizzes every week.
Great statistics teacher! Explains everything so well! If u go to class and copy what he puts on the board you will pass the class! Super weird funny guy! Love him, highly recommend
BEST STATISTIC PROFESSOR EVER. MATH HAS NEVER BEING SO EASY, SO BREAK DOWN, SO HIGH LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING UNTIL I TOOK PRO. SIEGER CLASS. THE MAN MAKES MATH CLASS LIKE PE CLASS. HE KNOWS HIS STUFF. I LOVE U PRO. SIEGER
One of the most talented teachers at AVC. You can tell how good a math teacher is by how many times they are interrupted with questions in the middle of the lesson. No one ever asked anything during or after lecture. He taught everything with perfect clarity. Take him if math is hard for you, or if it's easy! It was easy for me because of him!
The class was engaging and well taught. Although we didn't use the book at all, he derives his own material from it. It's very similar to the book, so it can be used as a reference. He was clear in his teaching, exams directly reflected course material (notes and homework), and class exam averages were always good.
Prof. Sieger takes some getting used to at first, but he's really a good professor. Personally I found the class to be really easy, so I rarely showed up to class and got an A in the class. The grade is all tests but most of the students do very well on the tests. When I took the class as high as 60% of the students got A's on the tests.
Dr. Sieger was one of the most informative and best teachers that I had at AVC. I would HIGHLY recommend this professor!
This is one of the easiest classes you'll ever take, even if you suck at math! If you have to take statistics, take this guy! *IMPORTANT* DO NOT BUY A BOOk! Because you simply do not need it. Home work is not required either. That's right, everything comes from his notes. How I got an A -> Right Down every thing on the board! study notes and quizes
Mr. S is the BEST! I could not comprehend math until his class. Material can be a challenge, but he makes it easy. He grades fair and if you remember formulas, write them on the test he gives a little credit. At first he seems a little off, but when you get to know him he is extremely intelligent in his subject area. Take him you will not regret!!
Mr. Sieger is wonderful teacher! I am not, in particular going into the math field & was worried, but Mr. Sieger taught so well I could understand every thing in the book clearly. The book wasn't as helpful as Mr. Sieger & besides he has a special personality. U will have to study though and remember the math. Take time to study each chapt & guide.
Best mathematics professor ever! The first time I not only understood math, but understood the professor's math jokes, too. He's awesome!
Class was so easy!He is a really good teacher, straight and to the point. Mr goes over the homework assigned during every lecture. Homework is not mandatory, but I would advise to do it for good grades on tests and pop quizes that he announces hes going to give. he sends out an email saying the book is not required til like the 6th week.
Great teacher! Will definitely make you understand stats with no problems. He's a very goofy guy too which makes the class fun! He'll make these corny jokes and laugh at them himself haha. His laugh reminds me of Sheldon Cooper's laugh! :p But overall, great teacher! Very helpful! Definitely recommend taking him.
Great teacher. He is very clear and will answer all your questions. There is a small quiz after every class that is used on the test. Also the final is made up from the quiz/tests so study those and you'll ace the final. He is honestly the best teacher.
He was an excellent professor very funny and gave great notes never needed to go to tutoring or use the book. He gave 4 quizzes and drops the lowest 2 and he hands you back every exam quick and writes good notes and the answers to the problems on the back. There is no homework just need to really study and do good on the exams. Amazing professor
Makes it easy to learn
If you HATE math, and can't do well in it, TAKE HIM! He is the best at professor, he does not exhausts you with all that info like most math professors do. no need for book so that should be a big plus since the book is very expansive. You will have to try hard to fail his class. Take notes that will help you ace the tests and quizzes!
HW given in packet form. We never used the book. He tells you exactly what he wants you to know, but you still need to study. 3 tests 1 final. If any 3 tests are lower scores than final the final grade will be doubled and the other grade dropped. Class wasn't too easy or too hard. He does say it is made for the "C" student. 4 quizzes, 3 best kept.
Great, humble guy. He really wants every student to succeed. Textbook was good for practice problems, but not required in any means. Grading criteria is clear; quizzes aren't difficult, tests aren't that bad if you STUDY. If you aren't great at math, go to his office hours. Otherwise, pretty typical calculus class!
Great teacher. Provides a homework packet with the answers. He really wants everyone to pass his class and be successful. The final is cumulative. After each test he provides a packet with the answers that you may use as a study guide for the final. Take his class
I took him twice and would definitely take his class again. He is always willing to help even if it is something simple or that he's already explained several times. Homework is optional but it definitely helps to do it.
I took two classes with Richard Sieger in the 1990's. He teaches math so well and makes it seem so easy, that I actually thought about going back to earn a degree in mathematics. By the second class, I not only understood and laughed at his math jokes, but was doing calculus in my head.
