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.
