nice man, nice glasses
Very nice man, willing to help...
overwelming at first,but gets much easier..curves grades at the end.very helpful
Great curve on tests. HW and quized didn't count for anything. Take his class!
Good guy. makes stat is easy as reasonably possible
Strange man, but a good teacher. Just pay attention. Curves tests
Class boring, he can't teach, the worst class I've had in my life.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BORRRRRRRRRING!!!!!!
study old tests and you'll be fine. will learn your name & helps a lot
So easy if you can remember formulas! Very excentric, curses a lot! funny
Very strange, study old tests..and make him learn your name, he remembers it..

Funny guy, swears alot in class, keeps it fun,easy A if you pay attention
make sure to double check test score-likes to drink wine while grading
Very helpful, cares about students
Strange man but a good teacher. Keep up with everything though. Curves at end.
Easy A if you keep up with him. Very funny and strange guy. Get to know him.

overwelming at first,but gets much easier..curves grades at the end.very helpful
Pretty cool guy, solid teacher, helps your grade a bit at the end of the semester.
easy class, funny guy, go to class and keep up or dont bother and just teach yourself from the book. either way you'll do just as good. Easy B, if not A
tests are fill in(or work out the problem), makes u define words on test and if its not the defn he gave in class, its wrong (even if it is what the book says). not too bad of a class/teacher overall though, just keep up
Can be confusing sometimes, but if you go to his office during office hours he explains it very well and is very very helpful.
Curses!!! Funny guy. Has word problem tests...no multiple choice. Easy B
The Best Damn Math Teacher!!! Hehehe..he puts you in such a comfort zone with such a confusing subject!!! Go to class, at least you will learn a joke or two!!!
Hard subject. Great Teacher. Wants you to succeed in class.
I definitely not one that does too good in math and I managed to get a B in this class. Great teacher!
Good teacher...he is alittle crazy..homework easy.. tests are kinda hard...study and you will do ok
Hard class, funny teacher, very helpful
Great teacher, funny, helps you if you need it, keeps class amusing, easy A or B if you do the HW
Helpful professor but lectures are not very useful. Can learn from the book better than lecture. He is fair and does his very best to help.
not very easy...gutta study a lot, especially throu HW and stuff...he's fuuny eventhu his "jokes" can be so damn lame !!
OK prof. I don't like him b/c he took 10 pts off my test for putting .5 instead of 1/2. So if you take him, just make sure you are precise and exact. Homework and attendance count very very little
great teacher. if you do homework will get good grade. will work w you if you have special circumstances. he makes you like math.
Hey, the material he is trying to teach SUCKS, but you have to give the guy credit for trying. Go to class and try to learn the material...you should do fine. He really does want you to succeed in the class
Do NOT buy da book....we didnt use it !!! the final was kindda hard, tests are easy thu, do a lot of HWs...he's funny but can be lame sometimes, hopefully a B
He cusses a lot and I think he may be a little off...let's be honest...he's crazy. But he is an excellent teacher. He is sincere and genuine in wanting to help. I made a D in statistics in high school, and I finished with an A in his class.
A syllabus was never provided, so we were in the dark for the whole semester. On the first test, a 70 out of 120 was an A. You won't have any idea of your grade until the end of the semester. I missed about half the problems on every test and made a B.
This guy is awesome, he makes Stats like middle school math. Do the homeworks because they help you. I would not take Stats unless this guy was your teacher. Kinda off, but he is funny.
He makes math a fun, relates everything to real life. Curses a lot. Knows every srudents by name if take more than one class. When helps after class, does not just give an answer but spend as much time as needed until you understand the concept.
Couldn't connect to his teaching methods.

He's very nice and funny. He makes the stat fun! But he'll make bring up like weird topics to talk about in class that has nothing to do with stat and he'll talk about them in the middle of doing a problem. hahaha!! always funny to watch his messy hair.
He's a great teacher and provides handouts for all the sections. Never had to buy the book. He's a little off and random with some things he says but he'll really help you out if you make an attempt. Highly recommended.
Nice guy. Amusing comments in class. I hate everything mathematical but I passed with a decent grade.
If you can take statistics in the summer it's pretty easy. It goes fast and you only are responsible for the important stuff, not the formulas you'll never use much less see again. Always available for help..just ask! He brought Oreo's to our class. Nice!
He's the BEST! I always hated math but I got an A in his class and I love stat now! Very helpful and HILARIOUS!:))
Anderson is freakin awesome, he is absolutley the quintecential crazy math professor. His hair is always messy and he never fails to make you laugh. He makes STAT easier and his antics get you to go to class. Do homework and study for tests and it is an easy A.
The best teacher ever. He is soooo funny!!! Take him for statistics!!
This was a hard class but he did his best to help us out. Whenever the whole class did poorly he did everything to re-teach us material. He doesn't really count hmwk, attendance or quizzes unless you need a grade boost. He's so freakin hot!! He wears the same blue shirt, black jeans EVERYDAY!!
This course is hard regardless of the professor... but Anderson can be unclear and his take-home tests and homeworks are seemed rediculous. My average was less than 50% going into the final, and I had tried very hard to do well. He is willing to help though, and he curves.
Dr. Anderson is a GREAT PROFESSOR!!! He is very cool,very, very HELPFUL just go to his office and he is always willing to help students. The BEST teacher I've ever had. I didn't like stats until I had Mr. A's class. He is a crazy guys and talk lots of Sh**. You'll love him once you've had his class.
Very easy just do your homework and stay on top of it. Easy to get an A he doesn't really explain his grading system from the beginning but all the homework helps you learn. Cool guy.
Prof. Anderson is a great teacher. He knows not everyone understands statistics and he goes out of his way to help students. The homework will help you so much on the test and he is always in his office to anwser questions.
Cusses like a sailor. He explains things pretty well though. I would recommend him over any other teacher. Do the homeworks without getting behind and you should be okay.
If you are not good at math you might have a hard time in this class. Fortunately I'm good at math so I made an A. He also has a huge curve at the end of the semester. Funny and curses a lot.
hes hard to understand and does not post answers to the hw in time for you to use them. TAKE SOME ONE ELSE!
Great guy! Just might save your GPA. Never have to turn in your hw on time! Is always there (in office) if you need help. Funny and does curse but not offensively at someone. At times, I got pretty shameful grades on tests and ended up with a B. Do yourself a favor.
funny guy, likes the F-word( he curses a lot but not at anyone), and calling people who dont show up for class. HWs must be turned in, but when u feel like it, he posts answers. He is very straightforward about his exams, and has a nice curve at the end of the semester. Very helpful and entertaining.
Really funny guy and so nice. I'm a history major (and not very good at math) and I still got an A. Very helpful and the online homework/quizzes are great resources for the tests.
great teacher. made class bearable. very very helpful. just ask if you don't understand something and he will be more than happy to answer your questions. and he is always in his office. unlike most professors on this campus

VERY COMICAL AND FAIR IN GRADING....VERY INTERESTING AND PROMOTED CLASS PARTICIPATION....HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR AND CAN COMMUNICATE WELL W/ HIS STUDENTS!
GREAT TEACHER! Recommended.
A down to earth teacher and very approachable and helpful. Highly recommended.
if you want to learn about chinese noodles and cats driking wine then take this class
Stats can be very boring but this teacher msakes it interesting and he has a lot of interesting anecdotes. Recommended.
Great professor. He is a very fair grader and his tests are exactly like the homework. If you do the homework you will do well. He is always avilable in his office if you need extra help. Really cares about his students. One of the best professors I've had at UNCC.
Excellent teacher! Cares about how all his students perform. Always available to help in his office. Always gives time for everyone! One of the best at UNCC.
GREAT teacher!
Very Very helpful. Makes you learn. He was good about telling me what I needed to work on.
Pretty cool teahcer, loves to cuss. I mean stats is a hard class to me no matter what. I stayed in his office but he was very helpful. Grades homework and gives you take home quizzes and sometimes take home extra tests if you done really bad on the real test. Just do the homework and study it and be willing to visit him in his office.
No need to buy the book he gives out handouts every class. If you go to class and do the homework you'll do well. Nice guy, interesting class. Make sure you double check your test against the solutions though and pay attention to definitions (they are always on the test).
He's a good professor, but explains things in a round-about way. Easy if you go to class and pay attention.
THE MAN!!
great teacher. he does not requir you to buy a book for the class. he gives you all the things you need to know in handouts.
Kind of silly at times. Not very effective at teaching. The book was much clearer than he ever was. He took 40 minutes to explain something unclearly that could have taken 5 minutes and been simple. Can be a jerk; on the day of the final he made fun of a girl on the verge of tears in front of the class who came to the wrong exam time.
Not Clear. When he tries to help he just tells you what you already knew you got wrong. AWFUL!
I'm AWFUL at any math, and had failed Statistics before. He is definitely the easiest and most helpful out of the Stat professors. Can be kinda round-about, but his office is always open for help. Don't expect any multiple choice. Homework helps your grade, and if you do better on the final than your overall grade, thats your new grade. Pretty good
hottttttttttttttttttt!!!!
I am horrible at math, but professor anderson never let me give up. His door was always open for me to go and get extra help and he sincerely wants his students to do well. He made statistics as interesting as it could be and is an all around nice guy. He is by far the best math professor I have had at this university so far.
Incredible curve on the final! If you blew all you past exams, your final exam will be used as your final grade! No need to buy text book! He gives hand outs every class, where tests are based on. His pre-test, and quizes are basically same as the test itself. Fast-paced, so pay attention! Cranky-lookin man, but very fun~ TAKE THE CLASS!!
From all of the other stats proff. he is the best 4 Stat. You rarely use the book, but if you pay attention to class and the handouts he gives, and try to do the homework he gives every class, you will have an A! Very FUNNY in class, always makes jokes! If you need to take STATS take it with him if you can... Helpful office hours...
Go to class, do the homework, easy A. Cusses like a sailor but funny. Don't need the book because he gives handouts every class, and I mean every class. Three tests and a final. Keep up with his homework and stop by his office every once in awhile.
No need for textbook, he gives handouts everyday with everything you need to know on them. Keep track of those!! Posts HW solutions online!! Study the HW and HW solutions for tests and you're golden. Really cares about his students, and cusses like a sailor. Best instructor to take STAT 1220 with.
Do not buy the book for this class!! You do not use it. He gives out a tree's worth of handouts over the semester. Great final curve. I had a F going into the final got a B on it and that is my grade for the class!! Good teacher but hard material.
Very nice and funny teacher. Some of the material is dry so he tries to liven it up with a joke. He is very helpfull if you just ask. Homework every night but very lax on it. You do not need the book because he gives you notes everyday on what you need to know. Class is not mandatory but attendance will help you at the end of the semester.

Dr. Anderson is a great professor! He takes a course as tedious & confusing as statistics and makes it EXTREMELY easy to comprehend. No textbook required, flexible office hours, class attendence recommended but not required. If you're like me & you struggle with math of any kind, take his course!
Nice guy, good teach. Often funny, makes class fun.
Best Stats prof. at UNCC..funny as hell
Has a great sense of humor. He is very creative and lively in class. He makes you think. I dreaded this class until about two weeks into the class and I realized what a great prof he is.
Just go to his office daily and you'll get an A or a B. Seriously, it's that easy. Just show you are trying and always turn in your homework. Go to class and let him see you in there. He's a great guy just ignore his vulgor comments and foul language. DO NOT BUY THE BOOK!!!!!!
I don't know if he is easy or not because I have tremendous problems with math. What I do know is that I gave it my all and I passed with a C. It was a fair grade, I think. Anderson realizes that not everyone is good at math.He is very likable, nice, and caring. Can be very funny too!
Attendance is not mandatory but go to class it will help a lot just do hw you will fine on the test which is almost same as hw. i got more than 95 every test. but have to study for common final exam. if you get A on the final test you will get A even you fail other test.
he is a great teacher.. very understanding.. will work with u as mucha s u need! dont buy the book or the clicker... he never uses them at all
He is the man. He makes you work but he is brilliant and cool as can be. He told me he rewards improvement and he meant it. Take him, you will be fine young jedi.
Awesome. I HATE math, and this class was fairly easy for me. He tries to explain all the concepts, which can be pretty confusing, but if you just focus on how to work the problems, you'll do fine. Try to come to class because if you miss a couple of days it's kind of hard to catch up. Don't buy the book or the clicker!
He might as well be foreign so if your taking him because he is english GOOD LUCK. Hw every class. rushes through material. hold you till time everyday never leave early...People may say he is cool because he drops the GD bomb every other word but he is very hard to understand. Take a 30 person class with foriegn guy before you take him!
One of the worst classes I have ever taken. Grading wasn't explained/didn't make sense, cannot teach (although he is a cool guy), and gives homework that "may or may not count." He talked about worm fossils and other useless info instead of teaching the info that was on our tests. No book needed, printed notes, no multiple choice, STRESS CITY...
Take him! Native English speaker. Gives notes for every lecture. Don't buy the book. Final grade based mostly on the final exam. Attendance rarely regulated. How to get an A: Go to class, get the notes, do the homework, and if you don't understand the material, go to him for help.
Likes to stress theoretical understanding so you'll see a lot of theorems and formulas. He can be difficult but that is to weed out the less serious students. Has as a very loose grading system so if you come to his office, attend lectures, and make an honest effort to do well in the class you will walk out with an A. Curves test grades too.
I am absolutely terrible in math and he helped me soo much. He tries to make it as fun as possible with jokes and is very care free. I didn't make good on any of the tests and still made a C.
I wouldn't say he's a bad professors, but he's okay when it comes to teaching. Expect a lot of hw in this course and some are pretty difficult, however hes relaxed when it comes to due date. Exams are both take-home and in-class and he gives a huge curve on each. To get an A or B in the class, do your hw on time and make sure he knows your name.
Dr. Anderson was great! I am terrible at Math and I ended up with an A in the class! All you have to do is do all the homework..which you can turn in late..do pretty well on the test..which come straight from the homework. Highly Recommend!
Professor Anderson is a nice guy..gives you a copy of the notes every class. You don't need the book. Hw every class but you can turn it in late..and the 3 tests come directly from the hw problems.is willing to help you if you go to his office. Tries to keep the class somewhat intersting with his random stories :)
please, please let me make it through this nightmare. If you are a math major, do not take MATH 3122 or 3123 for your upper level credits. Period. Next to Rothe, this guy is the worst math professor here, at least for these two courses. Nothing he says or writes on the board makes ANY sense, and thus all the homework will leave you clueless.
Tests are different harder than the problems provided in class. Final determines your grade. HW, quizzes, and take home tests are not used to help your grade, they are just for practice.
A funny guy. He makes stat actually interesting. I would suggest him to anyone.
Final determines your grade
Dont lisfen to all of the good reviews on this guy, hes impossible to understand, he doesnt exaplin anything, he prints notes but you cant read them, we got a replacement teacher towards the end and it was the first time i had understood anything in the class all year. The only upside to him is that hes a math teacher that actually speaks english.
HARD. doesn't use the book...but maybe he should. God a D and i went to class everyday and did all the homework. doesn't make sure the students understand the work at all
I LOVE HIM!!!! HE IS A GREAT TEACHER BUT SOMETIMES HE IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND BUT HE IS FUNNY TO ME..... ATTENDANCE WASN'T REALLY NECESSARY..... HOMEWORK IS A PAIN.... OVERALL, HE IS OKAY.....
Anderson's teaching method is terrible! If you are the type of learner who needs explanations then do NOT take this profesor! He doesn't explain anything about the notes, he writes super small on the chalkboard! Unless you want to teach yourself Statistics, then sign up, otherwise skip this profesor!
He is a good teacher, however, teaching to some 90 students at a time can be challenging. Especially mathematics. He does not use the book. He's helpful if you go see him. I personally still think I failed his class though.
Probability at this level is difficult and It is very easy to get lost in this class quickly. However, Anderson is ALWAYS helpful and willing to work with students in his office. I found myself in there starting with 3122 and still visit him even though I am done with his classes. Love this guy!
Pretty decent professor considering the difficulty of teaching math/stats to a class size of 150+. Do the homework & study and go see him during office hours for help if needed and you'll make an A. And for your benefit, your final exam grade can be your overall grade if your class grade is low going into the final.
First do not buy the book, he hands out 200 pages worth of handouts with great notes on them. It's a big class and is loud, so if you want to do well, sit towards the front! Tests are very long, you will use all your time. DO THE HOMEWORK, or you will fail. Hard subject, good professor. He does well explaining, and uses good examples.
Really good class, no use in buying the text book, gives you tons of notes. Also homework and attendance are optional and most quizzes are take home quizzes. The final is most of your grade if you do well, if not he will try to average it to give you the best grade possible, would recomend to anyone.
The worst thing about this professor is he is retiring at the end of this semester. I would have liked to have more classes with him. Great guy. I am going to miss him a lot. He didn't just teach statistics he taught life lessons. Anyone who went to his office will tell you that. I learned a lot from him in and outside the classroom.
He is the best professor I've had in college. Gives printed notes at the beginning of every course and homework at the end. Homework doesn't factor into your grade but is helpful. Exams are easy as long as you follow the homework outlines. Final can replace your entire grade, so no sweat if you're not doing great, cause you can replace it. A+
Pretty simplistic approach to statistics. Definitely the best bet for this class. Homework doesn't factor into your grade but it gets you on his good side (85 with all your homework done gets you an A). Final replaces the test. If you're somewhat coherent during class and make an attempt at doing the homework you should do well
Professor Anderson is by far my favorite professor I've had at UNC thus far. He is very helpful in office hours and in class. He is very passionate about what he teaches which makes the subject matter more exciting. He really wants his students to succeed and learn Portuguese!!
