EASY! He is a nice person too. The only thing is that he seems to say "Does everyone get that?" all the time and it can get quite annoying. Also, if you are having trouble, he makes optional review sessions before the exams.

Never went over homework which is not good for those who want to learn but over all he was a great teacher.

What a great professor! I loved this dude, he was young, enthusiastic and had a willingness to help unrivaled by most professors. Being younger, I feel as though he could relate more to our needs, and his teaching method was great. Another positive thing that he did was give partial credut. Overall, AWESOME dude!

Very nice guy, and very laid back. He's extremely understanding regarding absences, etc. Doesn't go over the homework, which might be more helpful. Overall, he's a great professor.

Great professor he needs to teach more math classes!

Very nice person. The only neg. is he doesn't keep control of the class, too much talking, people walking in/out of class, etc. The book is horrible, I only used the CD that came with the book. I never did homework, just take class notes and work the samples on the CD & you'll do great! Mr. Sandbach is a very likeable person.

Very willing to break it down to the ridiculous. Note taking is simplified with his careful explanations. Good instructor for all but especially older adults.

A very through on new material and actually showed an interests in the success of his students and if the majority of the class does badly on a test he will give an extra test worth 20 points! The only teacher that was able to tell me my grade in the class every time I asked. His tests are only cover what was on the home work problems and quizzes.

Great professor. He's a little goofy at first, but you realize quick he's super understanding. Breaks the teaching down sooo easy. I'm making sure to take him for all my math!

Best Teacher! He was very patient and didn't make me feel stupid for not understanding yet. He was always so thorough and clear that he made it make sense to me when no one before had. He also seemed to pay a lot of attention to how every one of his students was doing in class and told us exactly what we needed more work on and by when to do well.

I can not stress how much this teacher understands Statistics and knows how to teach it in the easiest and most understandable way possible. I have taken Stat before and all they do is throw equations at you and make you memorize them and a bunch of other stupid crap that no one cares about. Not this guy. Tests are so easy and reflect the quizes.

He is a nice guy. He talks too much sometimes, and you can fall asleep. DON'T FALL ASLEEP! Everything he does in class, somehow end up on tests. You have to go to class because he has these things called "starters", he gives the answers before taking them back. It's basically extra credit. He's helpful and knows his stuff!

Super nice guy. It's a boring class, but he knows his stuff!

great professor really helpful..and he makes sure u understand whats going on...and breaks everything down to a tee...easy class if u attend everyday!h e is just wonder ful

This class is not a cupcake class at all. One must work/ study to get a good grade. Professor Sandbach does a good job of teaching stats because you wont learn it from reading the book.

He is such a great guy and a student's dream of a teacher. He really knows how to teachs Stats. I am not good at math and I made a B in the 6 week summer class. Awesome! Take this teacher he is so great and he is funny too. He makes class easy and fun.

MR. SANDBACH, IS A GREAT TEACHER. HE SPEAKS CLEARLY AND IS ALWAYS PAUSING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT IS GOING ON. HE GIVES DETAILED NOTES IN CLASS THAT "WILL" HELP ON YOUR TESTS.

Easy A. Great teacher. I would definately recommend him.

Great teacher, very willing to take the time to help you understand the material. Most test questions come from the homework and starter questions, he just changes the numbers.

Well, the book is a piece of junk… doesnt tell you what to do just gives suggestions. Sandbach offers a very fair grading scale. I recommend taking him especially if you plan to take future stats courses

Great teacher, will go out of his way to help you, but you must do the work and show up to class. Easy A, don't know why so many people got C's and D's. They didn't care.

Must attend to get the notes and do starter questions. He really breaks everything down so everybody understands everything. Almost TOO easy... nice guy and easy A

I dont know how "easy" this class was, and I'm an A/B student. I took it in the summer. Just do your hw. Keep up with the quizzes and that clear up any nebulous you may have. Sandbach is a good prof, gives lots of examples with your questions.

Can't believe that anyone would write a negative comment! If someone got an "I" in this class it's their own fault. This prof is wonderful! He teaches in a straightforward manner, doesn't talk "in circles" like other math teachers do and makes his lectures so complete that you don't need the book. You do have to study though.This isn't high school.

Ok he is not easy but he is very clear and wants you to learn and will help in every way, you must show up for class or you will be lost, first half is a breeze second gets hard dont miss second half. He is easy to understand and he gives 3 chances on quizzes and you can work together. your grade comes from attendance and quizzes. Easy A if show up

he is very nice, a little to nice. sometimes get ran over by students.He is very helpful. I Would take another math class of his

very good professor. would retake him for any other math teacher. knows his stuff and is VERY VERY helpful! not a fan of math but i highly enjoyed his class!! no negative things to say about this man.

Easy if you show up and pay attention. Lectures so well, you dont need the book. It is very hard to get lost in his class, he rights down most of what he actuallly says on the board, which can annoying, but great to keep you form getting lost. Really cares if you understand and do well. Very understanding of emergencies and wants to help you. Ve

I had Professor Sandbach for stats last year, talks a lot, but tries to limit the confusion. As a statistician, he knows what he's talking about statically...Go to his office hours for help. I had trouble with probabilities, remember the formulas, and you should do well.

Robert is great teacher. I hate math and stats especially, but I took his class over the summer and I learned so much. He was extremly helpful and his lessons in class were so informative I never had to spend time outside of class studying.

Great Teacher, a very sweet guy who loves math and is willing to help his students by any means.....TAKE HIM

Statistics is not an easy subject,but Mr. Sandbach does a pretty good job in teaching it.He offers extra credit @ the beginning of the class,& you get 3 attempts at all the quizzes.He drops your lowest grade on quizzes & labs,so you have a very good chance of getting a decent grade.I highly recommend Mr.Sandbach.He also gives partial credit. :)

A very sweet and caring teacher. I didn't care for his teaching style, I would have been in trouble if I didn't already know the material. All homework and quizzes are done on MyMath Lab. Unlimited attempts and lowest 4 scores are dropped. Attendance counts as a grade, as well as Math Lab hours which is a negative if you prefer to do work at home.

Hes a great teacher, works with you. I would take another class with him if available. Attendance counts toward your grade, and is taken by your starter question in the morning.

His class is hard but he is willing to help you any way he can.he doesnt manages his time well enough for the class. I had to get extra help at the math lab and in office hours. He really does care about his students and gives extra credit drops lowest test grade and lowest quiz so if you work hard you will pass.I made a B in both Algebra and Stats

I had Sandbach last semester and purposefully took him again. He does a great job of explaining to his students how math is used in real life. He makes it interesting and keeps it light-hearted. He goes above and beyond to help his students and answers questions/gives grade feedback whenever you ask. GREAT PROFESSOR! Will take him again for stats.

I learned a great deal fro Mr. Sandbach. I have taken him for MAT1033 and MAC1105. I am looking forward on learning even more from him in his STA2023 course. He will make sure you understands the material and never be affraid to ask questions it shows you are invovled.

he is a good teacher. easy A if you do the work and go to 50% of the classes.

I thought this class was really easy. Tests are kinda challenging....but there are so many other grades that tests wont make or break you. Love the way he teaches. He is straight forward and explains things very clearly. Really wants his students to understand the material. I'd take him again.

He is very nice,understanding and wants the best for his students. The class is hard and you have to stay on top of the work or you will quickly fall behind but he is very helpful. I would highly recommend him!

Wow. I can't believe he has any bad reviews. Literally the best professor ever and I hate math. Doesn't use my mathlab or have mandatory homework which is really great (because mymathlab is an excuse for teachers not to teach!) Really wants all of his students to pass. take him!!!

The best teacher in the world! Mr. Sandbach cares so much about his students' success.

I honestly have no idea how this guy has negative reviews! He SO enjoys what he is teaching and he truly cares about how well we understand the material. He won't move on until every single person understands. His tests are pretty challenging, but if you understand what we learn in class, you'll do excellent.

I thought the class would be fairly easy however, I missed one class in the second week and it threw my off for almost two weeks. Missing class is really not a good idea.

Prof. Sandbach is a very good guy I enjoyed the days he was teaching. Most of his lessons were easy to understand and he was always there to help. Unfortunately, there were some health concerns and he missed a lot of important class time with us. His grading system--while extremely fair--Is somewhat confusing and it's hard to hunt down your grade.

Sandbach is a nice guy, and good at teaching, but he was out of the classroom a lot. Maybe not his fault, but it made things hard towards the end. TONS of assignments due when I would've rather been studying for the final. Didn't cover everything the course required because he was gone. Also you can't see your grade unless you ask him after class.

He is a great professor and very helpful. I would recommend yoiu take his class. He is very clear during lecture and gives you good examples and notes. The book is not required but can be helpful. Study guide is provided for every exam including the departmental final and are very helpful.

This guy was great. Really helped you understand what it was he was saying. He was a fair grader and gave you many opportunities for extra credit. My only recommendation is that you don't miss class, and my only grievance from taking this class was that we had to use Canvas, euughh...

Took this accelerated over the summer and he made it a lot easier because of the way he teaches! He is very clear and does not teach you anything you do not need to know. He gives sample problems before every test that really help you do well on the exams. He is super helpful if you are confused on anything & assigns works that prepares you.

hes super caring and patient making sure that everyone is up to speed. super hilarious but not probably on purpose. haha. Really great teacher

He's a nice and caring guy. He loves answering questions in and out of the math studio and has clear lectures. His office hours helped me when I was confused with the math lab lessons. There are four assignments to do every week: two homework assignments and two short quizzes. They are quite time consuming, but you can get a lot done in the studio.

Sandbach gives multiple choice exams! The first like 8 questions are all multiple choice! There are only like 3 free response questions on each exam! All the test question literally come STRAIGHT from your quizzes & HW! HW is not mandatory. You get 4 tries on the ONLINE quizzes. Need I say more? Btw I SUCK AT MATH! Take him if you want to pass.

Best introduction to Statistics I could have asked for! Was hesitant about Statistics before this class. I simply did ALL of the homework, then all 4 attempts on quizzes and by the time i took the exam, I had seen the questions 2 or 3 times. Put 3-4 hours into hw a week, and you will probably get an A. He drops your lowest exam grade. Great class!

Best math professor. He is very easy going and caring. He is also accessible outside of class and will update you on his office hours if they change. Not a hard grader.

Sandbach was very thorough. He always makes sure you understand each thing he teaches. He goes step by step with math problems, and writes out the explanations of the board in case you understand better with words, than with numbers. Be there on time. If you miss the starter questions at the beginning of class, you will be counted absent.

Sandbach is very clear and thorough with his teaching and really breaks things down so that everyone understands the material. Attendance is a huge factor in your grade so definitely don't skip class. If there's something you don't understand he will go out of his way to help you in studio to make sure you get it.2 HW assignments and quizzes weekly

This class starts out pretty doable. Do the homework he gives. If you don't you will not pass the tests. He gives study guides for the test with practice problems. He makes himself available in his office to help. Don't procrastinate. Use the math lab. Super nice

Sandbach is a great teacher to have and does his best to make sure you get the best grade possible. With this being said, studying is still highly advised.

Professor Sandbach definitely knows his stuff. I recommend this class for statistics majors. He is very helpful answering questions, but tests are very deep in statistical theory.

One of the best professors I've had at Santa Fe. He gives really good feed back and does care about everyone's successes in the class. He's always in his correct office hours unless he post otherwise. One of the few times I took a class and be able to recall almost all of the information we learned.

Great professor. Takes his time to make sure you understand every topic during his lectures. He also makes sure he goes back and gives half credit for any incorrect answers on the test. He is always there to help and truly cares about his student's success in the class.

Awesome teacher. Math has never been my strong area so I had to do all the practice problems, all the homework, and assigned readings. His tests are based on what is taught in class and in the reading assignments. Definitely a lot of work if you're not a strong math person, but he is good, knowledgeable, and very helpful.

Haven't looked at math in 20 years, and I was terrified. Sandbach is an EXEMPLARY professor. He wants you to succeed. Being forced to attend math lab is pointless, but other than that, this class was great. Clear and concise lectures and he is very communicative outside of scheduled class time.

Not sure how his rating is not a 5, I had a truly terrible professor last semester and she has managed a 3.7(she's probably leaving fake reviews) Sandbach is one of those rare teachers that wants you to do well. Literally nothing would make him happier than everyone in his class earning an A+. Smart, fair, with a solid teaching style.

Literally just registered for the class that was open and thank goodness, I got him. (I wasnt so lucky in my other clas hehe) Robert is a great teacher who makes himself available whenever you need him. I hate math and he actually made me like math because for the first time in my life, someone helped me be good at it :)

Hes very nice and his lectures are very analytical. Stats is a hard class but if you do bare minimum you will pass with a C. He drops lowest exam grade and his exams mirror homework problems in the book. Final is exact same as other exams so study those exams!!! textbook was only used if you do homework, its not graded but will help you pass exams!

he really helps you through the class and is very clear about each topic being talked about. He makes sure that everyone understands the material before continuing to the next topic. Very good teacher and would recommend taking his class!

Professor Sandbach is a GREAT professor. Made the class seem so easy and is very quick to respond if you need help on something. He will definitely prepare you for college algebra and stats. Would highly recommend

He was extremely helpful during office hours and will go over any problems with you. He gives problems from the book that don't count for points but I found that doing those helped me because the exact questions showed up on tests!

He is a good teacher, but I wish he did more practice in class. Labs can be challenging. He does care a lot about his students and is really good about helping them individually. Practice tests seem to be not as clear as it should be for the test. I think he should grade homework.

Professor Sandbach is nice guy. Does a nice job lecturing and is always willing to help out. The math department at Santa Fe is a mess and needs work but Sandbach is a solid professor. I would definitely take him again.

He is very good at explaining things. Statistics is not easy but he is willing to help always and wants you to succeed. His way of lecturing makes things look easy and he offers help all the time. You will pass as long as you use all the resources he gives for help.

I've always struggled with math but Professor Sandbach is really good at going over problems step by step and making sure everyone understands before moving on. I genuinely get the impression that he wants you to pass. Just like every math class there's a lot of homework, but it's definitely manageable, solid choice if you have a hard time usually.

Such a caring teacher. Im not good at math at all, and passed this class. He was willing to help me at any moment. Very caring & loves his job. It is a difficult class, but doable.

Professor Sandbach was decent. For me, the exams got easier as the class went on. There are four exams (lowest is dropped) and a final based on the 4 exams with exact questions from exams. The online quizzes are easy, the labs are so-so, and the three part project is easy. He wont grade the labs and project until the end. Ended with an 86.

He does a very good job of explaining the material and making sure as many students as possible completely understand the material. You have an hour of class time and about 35 minutes of studio time, which you can't miss or your grade will suffer. You get multiple tries for tests, homework, and quizzes.

Prof. Sandbach has a knack for simplifying math concepts so they're easy to understand. His grading can be picky but he's also fair with giving partial credit. The downside is he's a slow grader but if you go to his office hours he'll grade your assignments for you. He drops your lowest test grade, if you're willing to work you can get an A

It was very hard to get a response from him. I had to contact the Math board after him not responding for 4 days. He misses class and doesn't communicate properly to us students. The material was a bit challenging, but if he were more hands on I'd have felt more confident. Nice enough, you really have to ask questions and take notes.

Great teacher and nice person. I took his hybrid class so attendance was mandatory, especially in the math lab. Notes are easy to understand and if you're having difficulty with the lesson he'll help you. Homework, testing, and online classwork is done in the math lab which you can get his help or help from students.

He works at a slow pace and he gives very caring vibes. If you need help he'll definitely be there for you. It's hard to fail the class when there's so many ways to make up test grades but if you go to class, do the homework, and go to the lab. It's an easy A for sure.

Nice professor, lectures are slow but for your benefit to understand. Never responded to my emails, but all the work was easy, able to redo and correct hw and quizzes for a perfect grade. Impossible to fail unless you don't do the assignments and/or redo the hw and quizzes.

Professor Sandbach cares a lot about what he does, and he wants his students to understand the material. I am personally bad at math, but this class was easy for me to understand. He is very accessible outside of class for help. Slow grader, so you wont really know your grade unless you speak with him. There are 4 exams, final, project, and labs.

I really enjoyed his class, I took a summer A course. Attendance is taken via "bell ringer" posted before class, and during class. I took notes on my iPad, which I copied from the board. His notes/handwriting is LOVELY and so easy to copy/understand. There is a lot of homework, but its exactly what he teaches. He also does exam retakes as well.

This class is super easy as it is, but he really dumbs it down to a way that makes it impossible not to understand. Assignments are always super easy, and hes more than willing to help if you need it. The only thing is make sure you submit everything ON TIME or your grade will drop.

Mr. Sandbach is a real caring guy, he cares about his students a lot. You can tell he has a real passion for math and wants his students to have this passion as well. One of the best math teachers I have ever had!

Professor Sandbach is so amazing! I was extremely scared to take statistics, but he made it very easy to understand. He was very welcoming and answered any questions I had. He is a little difficult to reach outside of class, but I never had to. He also missed some classes but if you do the work it is easy to stay on track. I loved this class!

Correlates lessons to real life application giving a deeper understanding to the lesson. Most things are written on the board and he is willing to answer questions.

Cares deeply about making sure you understand what he is teaching. If something doesn't make sense he takes the time to explain it in a different way. There are no dumb questions! He doesn't us a textbook. It's my math lab and a paper workbook, I think it was like $12. He is also available in his office most of the time and very helpful.

He taught by writing notes on the whiteboard which we copied, & gave weekly homework assignments in an online textbook. He's pretty quiet, but nice & is available for outside tutoring. He canceled class a few times, which I honestly liked lol. Passionate abt statistics, great to take for an introductory course. Grading was late, but very detailed!
