Read his notes before attending lecture bc it will help!! In my opinion the notes were detailed and his lectures simplified it so we could understand it. He emphasizes important info/topics so pay attention in class. Wording of his quizzes get tricky but you will get used to it. Understand concepts rather than just memorizing them word for word.

He legit just reads off the textbook from the start of class to the end, so be prepared to sit and listen to him lecture. Expect to teach yourself though because if you reach out for help, you probably won't get a reply. Avoid him if you can.

His organized notes make online classes a breeze. His grading system is tipped in our favour. The workload can be heavy and the homework gets hard, but his buddy system makes sure you don't fail alone (jk). People complain about not having breaks, but he teaches at an easygoing pace, so burnouts are rare. Overall, a godsend to stats.

Pace is too slow, ends up not covering all bases. Only teaches 75% of the material and takes exams on the 25% he doesn't go over. Sets you up for failure by tricking you. Covers it up as "mistakes in the notes." BE SURE to ask questions on EVERYTHING that doesn't make sense because he's probably being sneaky.

He is a nice person, but he has no office hours and he doesn't record his lectures. His exams are not easy and usually completely different from his practice exercises or what he thought in class. He doesn't give you enough notice for quizzes and homeworks. Try to avoid, but if you can't get ready to self teach yourself this course.

Overall he is okay. He is good at explaining concepts and lecturing, and is overall a fair marker. However, he is very disorganized, rarely responds to emails, and does not record his lecture videos.

Grade is based on quizzes, midterms/final, and a couple projects. If you pay attention in class and do some of the homework questions, youll most likely get a good grade. Lectures are dry, may dose off because he tends to teach at a low pace. However, he explains the concepts thoroughly and is open to questions. Allows cheat sheets on all tests

He's an okay prof overall. I started off the class by receiving a few bad grades from quizzes, which only had to do with my study habits. But overtime you'll see the adjusting you have to do to get an A in the class. The course needs lots and lots of practice. Use all of the practice questions he provides in Brightspace! It definitely helps for MTs

I grew very fond of Robin as he knows all the material from the top of his head. he is an old-school teacher that writes on the board, but it helps you understand the material at a slow and easy pace. midterms are easy if you study the calculations and know the interpretations. Robin is an excellent teacher as he offers ways to boost your grade.

Nice guy. The course takes quite a bit of effort; there are many quizzes and quite a hefty load of homework. Robin uses a whiteboard to teach, posts no lecture videos, and takes 2-5 business days to respond to emails, so unless you're a good self-learner, don't miss any classes.

Statistics can be a difficult concept, but Prof. Susanto explains it in a way that's easy to grasp. I love that he writes his notes on the whiteboard, as you can follow along with your own notes and take time to ask questions (which he will go over in detail). generous cheat sheets for all tests. Be sure to study on your own time, or you won't pass

Easily the funniest prof I've had so far, Robin's style of teaching was very engaging. The same question formats on homework assignments, the course project, quizzes, midterms, and the final exam.

He's a good professor. All of the material is posted but attend the lectures and take your own notes because he describes them in an easier way to understand.

Robin is very knowledgeable about stats, and you'll learn a lot. This class is fast paced. If you don't practice material outside class, it's likely you won't do well.
