Dr. Sinn is a great teacher, always willing to help. Math is pretty boring, but he tries to make the class interesting and will always answer any questions.
He is very moody and not very helpful. He has only taught this class 2 times. I was in his first class(Fall) and talked with members who took it over the Summer and he has actually gotten worse.

I think he is a nice man but he is all over the place and he is rude. He is condescending/patronizing with his students. I agree with the comment that he is moody. This is the first time he has taught this class and I do not think he should teach it again unless he makes some changes in his teaching
Dr. Sinn is a great Stat teacher and he makes it really easy to get an A. If you do your homework and go to class, you should have no problem.
Dr. Sinn is a great teacher!!! He is always willing to help his students. Go to class and do the work, and do any extra credit you can and you should be fine! Two thumbs up for Sinn. I would recommend him to anyone interested in stats.
good person but bad teacher
Dr. Sinn is wonderful. If he is rude-it is because the smart ass college students in his class provoke him. He goes out of his was time and time again to make sure everyone understands and gets it all done. Everyone should be as luck as to have Dr. Sinn as their professor.
His lectures are just examples of problems
he is a very bad teacher, i get out of his class knowing less than when i went in.
Awesome teacher. He is very helpful and very clear on the work. I have not heard any complaints about him. I would even consider taking another math class just to have him again.
GREAT teacher!!! Very helpful! Lots of group projects.
Excellent instructor and excellent person. Dr. Sinn loves what he does (and it shows), and he can help you do well in each class. He is certainly an instructor you should consider taking. You will work hard, and you will learn.
Horrible prof! Stay away if you can. He has an extreme attitude problem and doesn't really care. If you get the material from the start he is fine, but god forbid you need to go to him for help.Take Green he is hard, but really good.
Do NOT take Dr. Sinn if at ALL possible!! The only advantage to taking his class is that if you have perfect attendance you don't have to take the final. He doesn't really teach and when you ask questions he looks at you like you are stupid. Extreme attitude problem!
Dr. Sinn does not have an attitude problem! He is simply very opinionated. He tries to make a hard and boring subject seem interisting. The only problem is those lazy bums who fall asleep in class and give him a bad rating. Fall asleep = fail the course!? Duh! Hmm.. that's a correlation there.
Well....I would have to say he likes oatmeal raisin cookies. LOL...the raisins weren't really raisins. There were............ Dr. Sinn I know your reading this. I really enjoy your class.
Well, what can I say?.. I think that Dr. Sinn is an outstanding individual whose example in life is worth taking note of.. He is very peppy and jovial. A fine speciman, in fact, I'm still waiting for him to come to class naked-as promised Dr. Sinn!!!
hell of a good guy. the only teacher whos ever made math bearable. Actually lets u use a calc for its made for. Take if you can.
Dr.Sinn .....Well, The null hypothesis states that he is an ordinary, boring professor, and the alternate hypothesis states that he is great!I reject the null and my evidence suggests that you should take Dr. Sinn for stats. Just be sure you know how to use a TI-83! I give him Chili peppers for hotness too!!! LOL
Great professor. I hate math but his class was actually enjoyable. He allows you to use that expensive calculator you have to buy (even on test). He enjoys teaching math and it shows in his class. Take if you can.
AWESOME!!!! So easy and likes technology. Kind of lame jokes that keep you awake in the morning. I made an A on every test. He is really helpful. I would take every class with him if I could.
Statistics with Dr. Sinn is the easiest A I have ever made. He doesn't assign homework and compared to other professors assigns the fewest number of projects. If you go to class everyday or make As on all of the test you will be able to exempt the final!
Great teacher, extremely helpful, always interested in helping students academically and personally.
He's the best teacher I've ever had. He uses real world examples for math which really helped me.
He is a really good teacher...he helps his students constantly and makes his class fun as best he can.
Nice guy. Really attempts to keep you awake in his 8 AM classes. You have to do practice problems often in order to make a good grade on his tests. He expects you to practice. YOU EXEMPT THE FINAL IF YOU COME TO EVERY CLASS!!! Yay!!
Most fun I've had in a class. Likes to teach from PowerPoint, not my style, but it is effective. Gargantuan statistics project for the semester, but he is very helpful in and out of class. Tests are long, but doable. HINT: Don't call him a statistician... he's not, and he will let you know that! Highly recommend signing up for any of his classes.
Dr. Sinn makes any subject relevant and gives you all the tools you need for subsequent courses in math and science. He's very helpful outside of class and takes interest in students overall success in college. Great Professor, all around.
Fun, interesting class. He makes everything relevant and entertaining.Definitely the best math class I've ever taken.
Great Professor! First time I've ever enjoyed a math class. Wants to help, very fair, takes an interest in the student. Take this professor!
Stay away if you are taking him for calc. Take anyone else! I hear he is better in Stats.
Doctor Sinn is pretty cool! Sure he is hard, but he makes himself available to his students and he definitely has a good feel to remain on a subject if students aren't picking it up. He's a regular guy, very good teacher, and very excited about what he teaches. I may not have much interest in the subject, but he works hard to help me understand!
This teacher is great. He class was not that difficult. He is very nice and helpful. He does not give that much work. Definitely take his class.
Best teacher ever! My favorite math teacher! He is very helpful, and he knows what he is talking about. I loved his class.
He is VERY unorganized but an all around good teacher. The class was easy. You can exempt the final if you come to class eveyday :)
By far the best math teacher I have ever had. I absolutely hate math, but his class was my favorite the whole semester. The material is explained well and is easy to understand. Take Dr. Sinn!
Best math teacher ever. Very entertaining. I highly recommend taking him for statistics. It was very easy to follow him and he doesn't demand too much of you. You use the calculator for all the hard stuff and get to have a notecard for the tests. I had this class at 8 a.m. and got an easy A.
I hate math and Sinn made it understandable and interesting. Examples were applicable to real life. You get notecards on the tests and can exempt the final. Most importantly to me though, he actually cares about his students, he's an awesome guy and I'd take him for 10 more courses if I wasn't done with all my Maths.
He is awesome! He actually cares about his students and wants them to exceed! His tests are simple and his attitude is friendly. Excellent teacher, I definitely recommend.
Best teacher I've had in College. He really cares and wants you to do well! I knew nothing about statistics but left the class feeling confident about my ability. Loved him, great sense of humor! Go to class everyday and more than likely you'll get to exempt the final!
Dr. Sinn is the best math teacher I have ever had in my life! He made Calc 1 so interesting, it seemed like a story, and the plot unfolded a little every class meeting. His explanations are CLEAR, and he always has time for his students. Super professor! He'll make you love math!!
By far the best professor I've ever had! I didn't know a thing about Statistics before his class and now I love it! He uses real world examples, his tests are straight forward (no surprises), and he genuinely cares about his students! I wish I wasn't done with my maths! He is certainly a valuable asset to our school.
He makes stats really fun!
take him or wait until another semester when you can get a seat in his class or youll regret it. oh and he is super sexy.
OMG- Best teacher ever!! And completely hot- he is really funny smart... and did I mention quite attractive? Take his class even if you have to wait forever!!!
Dr. Sinn is an amazing stats teacher! His class is easy and he's very helpful. You get to use a 3X5 notecard on all of the tests and he changes the weight of each one in order to help your grade. And if you have an A and have not missed alot of class you can exempt the final. He loves his students and takes the time to try to get to know them.
I'm not so great with numbers, super helpful, has different ways of helping you understand. Great energy, fun, he's funny. You can exempt from final by showing up everyday, maintaining a good grade. If you have problems with Math, he's a great teacher to help you through it, if your real good at math, you will enjoy the enivronment. Great teacher.
Best college professor I've ever had. We don't cover a stressful amount of material but does a great job at making sure you actually learn it. Very funny. come to class with jokes! I hate math and loved this class. Take Dr. Sinn!!!
Entertaining and easy to understand. A very effective speaker and teacher, good at guiding you through not only concepts but also the underlying purposes behind those concepts. Class was heavily hands-on, and student-led, with a large number of projects, presentations, and independent research.
I loved this class and Dr. Sinn. Most 8am classes are a drag to go to. Game Theory was a highlight of my day. He made the class very interactive and encouraged creative thinking to come up with and prove our own theorems. Didn't know what to expect signing up for the class but I would take it again if I could.
So, if your looking for an easy A and your not good at math, take Dr. Sinn. He thinks this class is a joke and waste of not only your time but also his. Lots of extra credit on tests if you show work. Really annoying when he wastes time in class showing shakedown videos. He wants to be accepted by the students really bad and has a huge ego.
Dr. Sinn is the nicest guy and absolute easiest professor ever!! Definitely take his class if you have a chance!
Dr. Sinn made this class interesting and fun. As long as you show up, participate and put the time in, you should get an easy A. The tests are easy if you study, if you don't know the stuff you can't pass, because it is all figuring out problems and if you don't know the material you will fail. He is a very fare Professor - I highly recommend him.
I took Dr. Sinn during a summer semester and learned so much! He was really approachable to help out whenever I needed anything and I understood his teaching with no problem. Practice with the subject helped me earn my A in the class and he provided great materials on d2l. Great professor!
Great class! Professor Sinn gets college students- and his lectures show that. I struggle with math, but he taught clearly and in a way that we all understood. Never a dull class with him, he makes lectures fun. More quizzes than tests, but they actually help your grade. Prepare to put in work, but it will pay off at the end of the semester.
I LOVE HIM. I took his class late in the day and he understood we were tired but he made the class fun. He tells you exactly what to expect on tests and gives guidlines on how you should respond. You're allowed a notecard on tests so thats a plus. Oh, final exam exemptions are possible!!!
Dr. Sinn has to be one of the best professors at UNG! He's so funny and nice and does a great job at teaching statistics. He uses actual data from your own class to use in the problems. Easy A, you should definitely take him!
I usually struggle with math, but Sinn knows how to make a class engaging and he teaches the material in a manner I was able to understand. He's a funny and chill dude who likes to tell jokes in late classes to help break the monotony. You'll have to purchase an online book, but it's really just for the Launchpad program.
Very fair. Lets you use a notecard for formulas, and gives an exemption option for final. Takes attendance with app on your phone that is used throughout the class to take polls from which he takes data to use as examples. Take the class.
Dr. Sinn is NO DOUBT the best professor I've had my entire college career. He cares deeply about the subject matter and his students, and does everything in his power to make sure everyone understand the material. I made a C in my algebra class and am terrible at math, but came out of this class with a 96 because of how well Dr. Sinn teaches.
Easy A! Sinn knows most are only taking stat as a major requirement so he doesn't take it to seriously. Material isn't bad because of how well he organizes the info. Allowed a notecard for each test & you know exactly what to expect. Does his best to make lectures more enjoyable. You can exempt final with a high 80 or above. Only 2 tests and a quiz
He is a very cool professor. His class in lecture heavy and he doesn't really give any online way to access notes. SO you have to pay attention in class if you want to know how to do the work. He gives study guides for test and you can use a notecard worth of notes on each test. The tests aren't too hard so the class should be an easy A or B
Great Professor!
Dr. Sinn is one of the best professors I've ever had! He explains things very clearly, gives plenty of study material that is exactly like the tests, and allows you to use note cards on each test. There was rarely homework in this class so it's more lecture heavy, but he's hilarious and makes it fun! Go to class, study, & you should be just fine!
This guy is awesome and he makes class fun. Great professor and definitely would say to take him for any class.
He is the best professor I have had on this campus so far. He cares about his students success more than any professor I've known. He puts in a lot of work to make sure the students are prepared for exams. He is so helpful if you do not understand the material. If you want the best chance of getting a high grade in stat TAKE HIM!
Loved this professor; makes stats easy and gives chances to help your grade. Super friendly and funny; lets you have an index card on all your graded assignments.
He was a good approachable professor, but I had no idea what I was doing throughout the entire course. I thought Statistics involved simple math but instead it involved CODING. All we did was follow along on python, theres a lot of weekly quizzes, homework assignments, and lab assignments.
Does not grade on time, if any and is practically unacceptable outside of class. I had him online, all the work was done with the terrible online textbook. Next is the CODING; you better get ready to learn math online and another class for coding that you get no credit for. Luckily there were other professors who had help sessions. DON'T TAKE IT!
This class is not a typical math class because there is coding instead of math. As a Comp Sci major, the coding was not difficult and I had friends who were not Comp Sci majors and they could grasp the concepts easily. Make sure to join the lab sessions because they offer great help for assignments
The class is pretty boring, but it is not hard to get an A because there are a ton of assignments that are relatively easy.
why did i have to learn how to code. i just wanted to do math. if i wanted to code, i would have taken a computer science class.
Had homework, video quizzes, labs, and a test every week, so it is a lot of work if you have other classes. Multiple Tries on the quizzes and tests! Midterm and Final (lockdown/cam). He likes to joke a lot, is very helpful, and takes a long time to grade things. He canceled class a lot. Passed with an A and didn't pay attention at all *Hint* *Hint*
The class is lame. You literally watch him go over notes of codes that he already made, and you so nothing. There is weekly homework and labs, but there is a zoom call every week where he quite literally goes over all the answers. Open note tests. Its not hard to pass, but if you can get a different professor I would.
It was a good online class, but he was very hard to contact via email or teams. He gives you an extra credit lab you don't have to do but he doesn't even tell you the grade you get. A very straightforward guy. I finished with an 89 and he didn't round up.
Dr Sinn is okay and pretty lenient if you ask about extending deadlines. He doesn't really teach and doesn't offer much feedback which is not helpful for future assignments or the final. He takes forever to reply to emails/teams messages and even then they are usually brief responses or just reactions on your message. not helpful. avoid if you can.
IT IS NOT MATH, save yourself from taking this class. It is a computer programming class. There is not once any statistic. Withdrew because it was wasting my time. If you are very well know with Python, then you in luck, but if not, drop this class and take something else. You are typing words into "cells." Definitely don't recommend!!!
Professor Sinn is entertaining. This class is done through Python, and is mostly coding. As long as you attend class and participate in online zoom help sessions, you will easily pass. He directly gives you the answers for most Labs and Homework during the help sessions. Exams are proctored but are incredibly easy. Just participate!
Class is a lot more coding than expected, and uses python. Even if you do not know coding, it is still very easy to learn, since it is not an actual computer coding class. Most of the actual coding is already done for you. Lots of homework, but be sure to go to the online help sessions. They are not too long and help A LOT.
I actually can't wait to get out of this class. Sinn is rude to people who ask questions and the homework load is unbearable. python??? learning coding for stats was ridiculous and I wish I had dropped after the first day. don't trust the good reviews from years ago. The class was fairly easy, but took such a mental toll.
This class is not what I was expecting and is not just normal statistics. It is all coding and is very hard for those that are not good at computer coding. If you join the online help sessions the homework is bearable, I could not do it without joining. There are a lot of video quizzes at the beginning of the semester, and a lot of homework at end.
He's great and hilarious. He always cracks jokes in lecture and keeps it interesting. However, he uses Python to do the problems and it is used HEAVILY. I was lucky to have a little coding experience beforehand, so I had it fairly light. But if you have no experience with code or hate it, do not take him.
Sinn is utterly and totally goated. This guy loves math and stats, but also understands hating either. If you are not a STEM major, this guy is great. Despite popular belief, you DO NOT need to be familiar with python for elementary stats, all the coding is done for you, you just have to deal with the statistical coding, numpy, scipy.stats, etc.
