Ryan is a nice guy, but the material is not covered well. The tests are so much harder than the material covered in class and the class is very stessful and difficult!
Amazing teacher, go to him for extra help if you need it. He will be more than happy to help.
Very nice guy. Makes material relatable. If you do the homework and take notes in class tests are fairly easy. His classes always got top averages. HIGHLY recommend as a teacher. Very willing to give extra help.
Really great teacher and extremely nice guy! Does a great job breaking down difficult material and prepares students for tests very well. Still recognizes me when I see him on campus and I took the class in the Fall of 2008!
Ryan explains things to the point where he tries to get everyone to understand the concepts. He is a pretty good Calc I teacher and I would recommend him. He is willing to help with any problems you have.
I had him for Trig, he's a wonderful teacher. If you go to class and take notes, you'll get a great grade. He is pretty straight forward and the daily homework assignments are extremely helpful.
He explains everything very well, and is always willing to help. Homework was assigned nightly, but he forgot often. Quizzes were fair. He often awarded bonus to good classes averages on tests. He has a sense of humor, and makes people laugh almost everyday. I would recommend to anyone.
Although he's a really nice guy I feel like teaching math on a power point isn't the best idea. I had a hard time learning in his class and feel like most of my learning I had to do by myself. His tests are outrageously hard although he doesn't make them..be very careful..
He skimmed over important topics, over explained simple math, ALWAYS left us confused (we helped each other), hardly EVER worked problems out, labs were abstract and useless, homework was unhelpful.. I got my B by ignoring him and learning the material from the book (had to go for attendance). Might have had an A if I had ignored him sooner!
Terrible teacher. Skips over important topics. He tries to teach you short cuts that he uses, but if you don't know how to do it originally then why would you understand a short cut. makes no sense. reviews for the exam are useless.
He spends WAY too much time on simple topics, doesn't say what he actually means, and makes awful jokes every single day. I learn more by myself, and at Mid-Term we haven't gone over a single thing I didn't learn from high school. Class is easy, if he actually speaks right. (He'll ask for Cot(x), but actually want Tan(x). Even happens on tests.)
He is a pretty good teacher. The way he teaches information is way easy than how the textbook explains. The class is not easy, so do study. I struggled and keep a D all semester, but I did good on labs and homework and aced my final; with some extra credit he gave, I received a B in the class.
Nice guy doesn't use book but explains material well.
Not a bad class, didn't study too much and managed a B on every test. Labs are difficult and don't really pertain to what you're learning in class. A lot of homework, but helps you study when it's test time. Allowed to miss 3 classes, after that you lose points.
He is a very consistent professor. His notes prepare you for online homework and the tests. He makes sure the class grasps the important concepts before moving on. He was the best Math teacher I have had. I RECOMMEND!!
I had him for Trig and it was my hardest class. He is a nice guy, BUT he is not a good teacher. He does not cover the material well at all and his tests are harder then what he teaches in class.
I have him for Trig now and I can honestly say that you should avoid him. He does skip over important stuff and doesn't actually teach you, he just shows you. He asked an entire lecture hall to do a problem and when he asked who was done, we all stared at him because non of us knew how to do it because he can't teach. AVOID!
Honestly he was a great instructor. His exams were super fair and the final was fair too. He also drops your lowest exam grade and replaces it with your final exam grade. He is very fair and will help you whenever you need it. I would highly recommend him. Trig is a hard subject so obviously it will be a tough class but he makes it easy.
Excellent teacher. Very thorough. He made calculus so easy!
Nice guy but not thorough
Mr. Hansen is a fair teacher and was great for my trig class. I had no concept of trigonometry so I always was paying attention. His class is very reliant on Mylabs plus, for homework, and this is the best online HW system I have used so far. All tests and quizzes are also done in a computer lab so if you don't like computers stay away.
I am terrible at math and it took me several times to pass math 126 with a C. This class was much different because I took it over the summer and in only 3 weeks. Ryan is extremely helpful and available. He wants you to like the subject and pass! If I can pass Trig in 3 weeks with this teacher then anyone can.
He is very helpful. He tries his best to explain the material.
Great teacher, I am terrible at math but he makes it easy and interesting. Lots of MyLabsPlus but he tries to help with minimal extra credit and helps show you where you are. He is very friendly and approachable.
Did not like the labs that went with this course, but the lecture wasn't bad. Never took notes or did the homework & still pulled at least a B on every test. Don't even bother buying the textbook. It's very expensive & you won't use it. He also allows you to miss up to 5 classes with no points deducted so that was great.
In lecture, he expects you to understand the lecture material right away. When would ask him for help, he would give me vague responses on how to solve a certain type of problem. Also, his test review sessions are not helpful because he blows through the material on powerpoints. I studied a lot, but I couldn't get a grade above a D on tests.
Ryan is a great professor. If there's a shortcut in algebra, he'll teach it. I highly recommend him.
Not bad at teaching the material but goes over each topic once and does not really go over again. Has homework but never asks for questions or even goes over so if you don't get it, you have to go to math learning center and sit for an hour to get help that sometimes isn't even right.... Overall not happy.
Hansen was one of my favorite math teachers. He was always prepared for class and was great at helping students understand the material. The class was very easy if you pay attention to lectures and do all the homework. Would definitely recommend his class!
Ryan Hansen is a bad professor. He keeps you after class is over and does not care if you have a class soon after. His lectures are boring. Half the time he doesn't know what he is talking about. He has gotten all the way to the end of a problem and realized he did not know the solution and starred at the class until someone said something.
Ryan is decent at explaining things during lectures. The tests are very hard. If you dont do the practice problems you wont do good. Ryan is very helpful and very nice.
He is sooooo horrible. Contradicts himself during lecture leaving you lost and confused of what is going on.
Lots of extra credit! Rarely takes attendance. Must buy access code
Went to class just for the points but ultimately had to teach myself. He only gets through about three problems a class which would never be on a test anyways. The hardest part of the class is making sure the answers are put in mymathlab correctly for tests.
He is a nice enough guy but I am not a fan of his teaching style what so ever. He goes over a few problems in class and then you have a lot of homework on the material. Tests are somewhat difficult. He gives a lot of bonus at the end of the semester.
I am a Math person, so I thought he was a really great teacher. Do the homework and it will help you pass tests. The Trig final was the easiest exam. Ryan was funny and helped me understand the material. He shows you ways to figure out problems without memorizing a ton of equations.
Math 156, the hardest class ever taken. Have to really study the material or will not pass. I tried hard but that wasn't enough. Can't blame the Hansen, since 156 is just a hard hard class. Good professor though. NO extra credit
I took the three week Trig course for the summer session. Ryan is an excellent teacher and because there is plenty of time each day during lectures, he does multiple examples to make sure everyone understands. He is big on shortcuts and simplicity. Tests were moderately tough, however they didn't have any surprises. Great teacher!
He doesn't teach what is on the homework or on the labs. The test are hard, even if you go to the review sessions and do all of the practice quizzes, you still won't be completely prepared. This class was a lot about teaching myself how to do Trig.
He looks and acts like your average white, suburban dad at a BBQ. Very funny, and is clear on how everything works and will always answer questions. Talks fast, though, so don't be afraid to ask for clarification. He's probably one of the nicest instructors I've had. The class can be difficult, but is very passable if you study and get help.
What a great guy! Awesome professor who knows what he is doing and how to teach it. He is a funny guy and always makes sure the class is understanding. I stopped by his office hours a few times and he was very excited to help. Wish I could take him again. P.S. He loves extra-credit
Math 128 is a hard class for those who are not good at math. But, Ryan is very clear when teaching and his office hours will help you if you are lost. He is clear on what is on the exam. He will give some extra credit at the end of the course. If you keep up with the homework and study you will do well in this class.
Worst professor I've had at WVU by far. What he teaches in lecture has nothing to do with what's on homework, labs or exams. The only point in going to lecture is for attendance points - everything he says is meaningless and makes things more confusing. You have to teach yourself all of the material. He's not funny, awkward and unhelpful. Stay away
Ryan Hansen is a good trig professor. The online homework (twice a week) wasn't too bad and the tests were average on difficulty. Lectures were sometimes rushed and attendance is graded. Little extra credit is available but sometimes not worth the effort. Lab and homework grade really help overall grade. Tests and exams make up for the other half.
I am terrible at math and got an A+ in his class. Pay attention in class and do the homework that night. Use study plan to study. LOOK BACK ON OLD EXAMS. He reuses questions. The final is the same questions from old exams. Very good professor. Gives extra credit and do it, it helps!
Worst professor I've had at WVU. I will admit I am not the strongest at trig, but considering I took this class in high school I thought it was going to be easier. In fact, it was so hard that I had to drop another class to focus on this class which I still got a D in. The test, homework, and labs are like three different classes.
I had to take this class TWICE. The homework and labs usually come out before the material is taught in class. The labs are extremely difficult and don't line up the the material taught in class. He always keeps class over, the lecture needs to have a longer time slot.
It's basically an online class. You just attend Lecture Monday and Wednesday. On Friday's you have Labs (which are graded for accuracy) and they have nothing to do with anything on the Exam.
I loved him! He does examples in class which are almost identical to what is on the labs and homework. If you take notes and pay attention, the homework and rest of the class is a breeze. Really enjoyed this class, which is a rare statement of a calc class.
Trig is a very difficult class, even if you've already taken it before. He is really good about meeting to go over extra content or review exams. It's not really the professors fault that he only get's two days to lectures, but it does kinda suck. Overall trig is awful, but he does do great examples so it makes the class at least bearable.
This has been said, and I'll say it again, exams, homework, lecture, and labs are like different classes. The prof spends at least 20% of every lecture telling you about what is going to be covered in class and 80% of the class actually teaching, though I wouldn't really call it "teaching" at all.
Needs a lot of dedication and hard work unless you're a genius and good at math. Had to repeat. Lecture, homework, labs, and test barely correlate especially the labs. The attendance is mixed up, last semester he took it everyday but this semester he barely did. Lecture is very important, need to understand the content because the tests are hard.
Absolutely the WORST professor I've ever had. The lectures, homework, quizzes, and tests are like 4 different classes. He is unhelpful, never emails back, is late or leaves early during appointments, etc. Wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy.
Nice man, awful math professor. The tests count for about 75% of your grade and unless you study your ass off, you aren't going to come out of this class without a damaged GPA. The labs DO NOT match any of the homework and he goes over his allotted amount of time to teach every single lecture. He's not worth suffering through.
The content on the quizzes barely resemble what is gone over in class or what is on he homework. During our second lab people left by the dozens because they had no idea what to do, he wasn't there and the TA's were confused as to why he didn't teach us how to complete the assignment. You could do amazing on homework and in class but bomb quizzes.
Very hard class
He is going to tell you not to learn the Unit Circle. LEARN THE UNIT CIRCLE BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE! Also, just be sure to learn everything about all lectures before doing any of the homeworks. He likes to give homework about things he has not taught yet. Always go back and finish the homework for partial credit after you learn it.
He's a nice guy and really knows his stuff, but lectures are hard to follow. You zone out for two seconds & you're lost. The exams are difficult and worth a lot of points, but he gives extra credit. He even replaced our lowest test grade with our final if the final was a better grade. The homework is super repetitive but is good for practice.
Trig is a complicated class to fit into one semester. Professor Hansen does his best but the class can be tough. The homework is very helpful especially if you use the "show me an example" or the "help me solve this" function. The final is decently easy if you know what you are doing and will replace your lowest test grade.
Nice guy, but bad lecturer. He gets sidetracked on a not too difficult topic only to ignore a much harder one. Exams are absolutely nothing like the lectures and are miserable. Only time he is actully helpful is if you visit his office hours hours. The only posititive is the final exam isnt too bad at all.
The class is very difficult. The professor isn't horrible, but he's not very helpful. I would recommend taking online or through another university if possible
Worst professor I've had at WVU by far. He flies through lectures, goes off on pointless tangents, and is extremely hard to talk to. He insisted on keeping us WAY past class time, making us constantly late to our other classes. Plan on seeing your tutor on a regular basis. His lectures are brutal if you don't have a wealth of prior math knowledge.
Extremely hard class, Hansen doesn't make it any easier either. Do the homework and extra credit. He does say not to learn the unit circle. LEARN the unit circle. Beware of this professor. Honestly terrible.
Does not teach much math in lectures. He talks more about the history of math than what youre tested on. Will spend a whole class just showing how a formula is evolved instead of doing practice problems and showing you how to apply the formula to problems. Nice guy, but not a good teacher.
Honestly, taught what you needed to know. Homework is similar to test, he says not to learn the unit circle, but do. He is very helpful in class, easily approachable. I am not good at math by any means, but as long as you apply yourself you will be fine!!
What was taught in lecture does not relate to the homework or labs, and all three of those do not relate to what is on the exams. Huge sections of material on the exams is not taught in lecture or seen on homework. Spends most of lecture explaining how to get the formula and not how to do the problems using the formula.
Honestly Professor Hanson is the best math TEACHER in general I've had at any level. He explains concepts from the ground up which gives you a great explanation and foundation of knowlege. The homework was meh, get it done, try not to use MathWay, and you'll be good. The class is hard, but I would've failed if I had taken it from anyone else.
This was my second time stuck with him and he has not improved as a prof at all. He rather explain the history behind a formula rather than how to use it. He also does not explain how to do problems that appear on labs and exams so beware of that.
Super nice guy, not a very good teacher. Just shows and does practice problems instead of actually teaching you how to do the problems. Lecture, lab, homework, and exams were like 4 different classes. Worked really hard to get a C. Final isn't extremely hard, but isn't easy either.
As long as you show up to class and complete the homework early to get extra credit you'll be fine. Also do memorize the unit circle even though you will be told not to. And a couple days before a quiz study the most recent homework and don't worry about the actual lab because they do not collect them for a grade.
In my opinion, Professor Hansen is great choice for a professor if you're willing to work outside of class. I took him for Trig and passed with an 89, but I felt like I learned a lot. I am taking him again for Calc 2 now and it seems to be about the same experience, he gives plenty of opportunities to learn the material if you try it.
There was no point in going to class because even if you did the material on the exam and homework was often completely different or much more difficult than what he went over in class.
Hansen does not even teach most of the time, he just passes out worksheets. He walks around during class to help if you have questions, but he explains the math so poorly. Most of the time he gets lost when doing a problem, or he makes a lot of errors. Highly reccomend you to find a different teacher
If possible, do not take this professor unless you are proficient at the skill of teaching yourself an entire course. Calculus 2 is already considered to be one of the more difficult math courses and Ryan makes it infinitely more so by under preparing his students. He is a nice guy, but not a good professor to say the least.
Professor Hansen is a very nice guy. He tries to make himself as accessible to students as possible. You won't do well in Calculus 2 with Ryan as your professor unless you put in time out of class. Read and take notes out of the book before lecture and do the suggested book problems. This is the key to success in this class.
Hansen is caring, very good at explaining things, and is a very easy, considerate grader. I would take his class again-he taught things in a clear way, gave extra credit, and was very, very easy at grading the exams compared to other professors. However, he's pretty low on the totem pole in the math department and it shows.
Hansen is a nice guy but his teaching style really didn't mesh with me. I felt like he did a poor job of explaining things and many times instead of teaching he would hand out a worksheet. Another thing about the course I didn't like was Hansen missed/left my class and left thing up to his TA who in my opinion was not ready to teach on her own.
Super nice guy! However, he kinda sucks at math which is really ironic because he should be good, right? Well he calculated my final grade wrong... Like difference between an A and a B. He said we would get bonus too from this survey thing, but he never calculated back in... He also got mad at my class for not telling him he did a problem wrong...
Terrible teacher. Doesnt actually teach anything. He gives out worksheets and expects you to know how to do it. He will show only one simple example of a math problem without telling you what the topic even is. Homework is way harder than the one problem hell show you in class. Class also goes late a lot. Dont recommend.
He is a good guy, explains well but a tough grader. You should work to pass
The G.O.A.T
He's dope.
Honestly. One of the best professors you'll ever have. I highly suggest him.
It's professor Hansen to you frosty
Best professor!
Good professor who cares enough to take time with his students 1 on 1 to explain the material so they understand. Is very good at using real life examples to explain the questions
Terrible professor. He is VERY slow in getting grades back and does not reply to email... communication not there. If you do have a question about your grade, he will say, "email me," but then does nothing about it. It took him 5 weeks to correct a quiz grade that he put in my grade that was not even my quiz! I do not recommend.
Currently waiting on grades to be posted for quizzes from over a month ago. Received an email saying he would be posting grades soon... three weeks later still nothing. Nice guy and will provide help if you ask in class, but outside of class is another story- no response to emails. No idea where I stand in the class grade wise. Unorganized.
I would not recommend taking him for math if you need to be taught. Most of the work was done with other students and the answer key was sent to us later. Most material was self taught. He doesnt give notes which is something I like to do in a math class. He is a very nice and funny guy, just not my first pick for professor.
Ryan Hansen is an average professor. If you pay attention, you will be fine. Some topics were harder / not as well explained than others. Takes forever to update grades.
Mr. Hansen explained some things okay, but others not really. If you have him as a teacher and your having trouble learning from him, i would suggest you go to the math learning center or go to another professors office hours. I went to my professor who i had last semester for help and that's how i passed.
Prof. Hansen method of teaching is a little unorthodox to say the least. His method involves you trying to teach yourself majority of the time. If you get used to teaching, you will no doubt be alright. He is a very caring and energetic person. He will do what he can to try and help you learn. Lots of pop quizzes, but the worse 40% are dropped.
Kind of a quirky guy, but really does care for his students. His lectures are good, and he does a good job at warning you about quizzes. His class was very tough, however, I would say that the material itself was hard, and he did his best to make us learn. The exams aren't really up to him, so you really can't blame him for the difficulty
He is super nice and willing to help with anything. The class using online HW so you can work ahead and he offers opportunities to retake an exam of your choice if you attend 10 weekly math study sessions. He is caring but can take a while to answer emails. He is approachable and during lectures, he can be very funny.
Hansen is a caring and goofy professor. Although his notes are disorganized and if you miss class the online notes are done by a different professor. If I had to retake this class I would take it with Schraeder because he is the main professor for math 128.
Hansen truly cares about his students and wants to see them be successful. He goes out of his way to make sure that students are aware of all of their options for assistance in the class. He also reviews the material for exams and how to use the StatCrunch website before every exam which is very helpful. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone.
Hansen was an amazing professor. He cares a lot about his students and the topics he teaches. He teaches in a way that made the topics easier to understand. However, if you need help understanding topics he is always happy to help. He's also very approachable and won't make you feel like your helpless. Overall, I really recommend taking him!!
Attendance isn't mandatory, but he gives in-class assignments that counts towards your grade. Very lecture heavy, but only 1-2 homework assignments per week which isn't bad. If you're gonna take STAT211 I recommend him!
DO NOT take STAT 211 with this man if you are not good at math. He is the worst professor I have ever had. Nice guy, but actually a terrible teacher. I passed this class because I went to the stat tutoring center every single week. He does NOT teach you any of the material and his slides make no sense, never complete sentences. AVOID THIS CLASS!
Pretty easy to get by in class as long as you pay attention. He lets you use cheat sheets on the tests and the hw isn't too overbearing. The class isn't terribly interesting but he's trying.
STAT 211 was an incredibly boring class for me as a science major. Professor Hansen really is a kind person, but his lectures did not help me at all when completing the homework or taking the tests. Prepare to teach yourself a lot of the material, as the homework/test questions are hardly anything like what is presented in class.
not a fan
The class is easy and he wants you to know and understand the topics. Go to class for the participation points.
I just had Dr. Hansen online this summer and he is awesome! I went to his online office hours for a few question and he did a great job at explaining them, and was so kind and encouraging! The exams are also typically taken directly from the reviews, so definitely use those to review.
When asked a question he doesn't help at all, completely ruined my perspective on mathematics.
A professor who genuinely wants to see his students succeed will never make you feel embarrassed for asking “dumb” questions. His lectures are engaging, and he provides a variety of study tools to help you prepare for exams. Any time I sent an email with questions he responded very quickly.
Not mandatory attendance, but sometimes in-class participation points. If you don't go to the lectures you're not passing. Yes, he posts slides, but you need his explanations at lectures to understand what is happening. Uses Pearson MyLab, grading is very clear. Homework due basically every Sunday.
He was such a sweet guy. I hated stats but that was not his fault!
Great professor. Really caring and helpful.
STAT211 with Professor Hansen is a mixed bag. Lectures can be dull, but the class is manageable with good attendance and self-study using resources like the textbook and Unstuck ai. Definitely a worthwhile credit.
Have him for STAT 312. There are VERY FEW assignments, and only 2 exams, so if you do bad on the homework's or a single exam you're basically screwed. No extra credit, and his lecture slides are very sparse so being there in person is a must. Also often falls behind on homework's and grading.
Dr. Hansen for STAT 312 was AWFUL. He never emailed back, he was never prepared (would always push back due dates, his powerpoints would have mistakes on them often), he made false promises all the time (he would say he would grade something but never did, would say he'd post a video but never did), and could not teach. Avoid if possible
he will never cancel class or tell you when there will be a sub. he DOES NOT grade anything, so if you're on the border of passing you better try to estimate your own grade. it is so unbelievably disorganized and extremely unprofessional. its been a month since our last assignment was graded, but he deducts 20% per day you turn it in late so...
The professor himself as a person is very nice from what I could infer. His teaching style is very cut and dry, hard to stay focused, his slides don't really explain anything, and he doesn't ever respond to emails even if you follow up. So be prepared to teach yourself a lot of the course material especially the understanding of StatCrunch.
IF YOU CAN AVOID HIM, DO IT! He seems like a very nice person outside of being a professor but his teaching style made absolutely no sense and good luck trying to complete hw. Only grades in the class are 2 exams(worth half of ur grade),8 hw assignments,and 10 pop quizzes. Does nothing to review for exams (no SG or review days)NEVER GRADES ON TIME!
Highly discourage
He does not grade anything and his lectures are unclear. Think sort of thinks through the problems out loud which just adds to confusion. Nice person but a terrible professor.
He's super nice and gives a TON of bonus points. The pop quizzes were also open everything, and you get a cheat sheet for the exams. He does take forever to grade things, often pushes back due dates and lectures are sometimes hard to follow. But if you can teach yourself with the hw, with all those bonus points, it should be very easy to do well.
- very unreachable, doesn't answer emails -tests weigh more than everything combined. -confusing lecture doesnt seem to know what he is even doing
If you don't go to class, you will fail. Lectures feel long and while he tries to give you examples and guide you through everything you will continue to struggle if you don't pay attention. Allows a singular cheat sheet for exams. If you're looking for a professor to really teach you instead of lecture he's not the one.
His lectures will leave you with nothing but your friend named ChatGPT to teach you it, He just talks for the whole time about hypothetical statistical situations instead of teaching you how to actually use the formulas. So brace yourself to teach yourself the whole 17 weeks!!!!
Does not clearly explain anything
Lectures leave much to be desired. They are alot of nothing and I found it extremely difficult to stay engaged. You're gonna have to teach yourself the entire unit so just be prepared for that. He is consistently late to class, and because of that, you will be held in class an extra 5-10 minutes over. Nice guy, bad teacher.
He doesn't cover all subjects and spends too much time on one topic. But at the same time he goes too fast. Him and Clark Metz are an embarrassment to the university.
Constantly late and holds after the time slot constantly due to it. Lecture heavy and hard to follow, not engaging at all. He doesn't teach to learn the formulas, just throws out examples that are not helpful. Be prepared to teach yourself or through someone who is not him. Hard to reach and just overall not helpful. Nice guy outside of class.
He never responds to emails and doesn't explain anything clearly. Course is self paced, but assignments scheduled for after you finished will be put in as zeros and he doesn't help you at all to try and resolve it.
There is 1 homework for every class. You get a cheat sheet on all the exams. The class is easy. If you put in some effort you are garenteed a good grade. Homework is on Aleks and it breaks down how to do it if you need help. Hansen is a good prof. however it is easy to fall behind in lecture if you don't pay attention. Exam 2 was the most difficult
His lectures are a bit boring but overall its Stats 211 just do the homework and the pretests look exactly like the test sometimes down to the exact question. Attendance is mandatory. Overall a very nice professor as long as you put in like minimal effort you'll be fine
Going to lecture is boring and wasn't helpful for me. Clicker is used for attendance but after sign in there's no questions. Tests are just like the pre tests and you're given a cheat sheet. Professor is kind but not reliable at all. He's very forgetful and bad at answering emails. "accidentally" locks assignments early like the final at times...
Lecture slides are a jumbled mess, and he doesn't explain things very well. If you take his class and have adhd, good luck! he also doesn't respond to emails! If he does, its his TA clark metz who is extremely rude.
