Professor Newman's Statistics class felt easier than it should have because of him. He set the course up with clear expectations and a road map of how to succeed. His notes helped you understand the concepts and homework. Which in turn helped on the exams. He used the discussion board to post explanations when needed. Great professor.

Professor Newman was an amazing professor. I struggle with math but his lectures, homework and quizzes help you prepare for the test. If you devote the time to studying the class will be a breeze. I didn't really study for the test and passed but I studied very hard for the final and made an A. The final helped be to get a B in the class.

Professor Newman is great and caring for student's success. He makes everything clear at the begging of this course, quick responses, and explains questions carefully. Allow to complete homework ahead of time and give a chance to improve scores before the final exam. There are 4 tests, and 1 final exam.

Do not expect any extra credit- he doesnt believe in it. Even during a world wide pandemic, he will not offer any extra work to help boost grades. This is a hard class and he is not understanding. I would not recommend this professor to anyone.

Took this summer class online, I was initially worried since I am not the best in math and I work full time. But the professor was very clear and his online lectures are easy to follow. One of the best professors I've had, responds fast to emails and is caring. Definitely Recommend !

I actually learned a lot and it if it werent for my many health obstacles this semester Im sure I wouldve gotten an A.

Math is my worst subject, I got an A+. Just ask him for help, he will help you in detail how to find the answer. My advice is to do the homework over and over until it makes sense to you, that's what I did. Put in the work, don't be a lazy turd or give this man a bad review just because you aren't willing to do the work or ask for help. TAKE HIM!!!

This class was hard because it was statistics, not because of the professor. Prof Newman is understanding of the workload and will extend assignments as long as they are not tests. The only reason I didn't have a better grade was because I had poor quiz grades that I didn't make up.

He provides tons of extra resources. He takes no time to respond to questions concerning the material. This is a very difficult class in general, but he goes out of his way to help you understand the material and prepare for the exams. My advice is to do all the HW and quizzes after you watch his lecture video, then you will be successful.

Ask him if u have trouble understanding the question. He responds very quickly. But if u still do not understand then do not hesitate to join his collaboration session. Complete your work before time so that u do not have problems with the due date. His tests are similar to the homework.. just different values. Understand the work to succeed.

This class is not a walk in the park if you aren't a math person. It was very challenging. Take it in person if you can. However if you HAVE to take it online, take it with him. He responds to every single email/question you could possibly have in a timely manner. He really does want to help. 4 tests, 1 comprehensive final. Save your notes!

As a person who has always had trouble with math, he's a good professor, personally I just think the material was a bit hard, but he would ALWAYS answer any questions we had in a perfect way. The only thing I didn't really like was how the homework would be due on Thursdays but other than that, he was an amazing professor. I recommend taking him.

Course material was presented rapidly over multiple chapters, often without clear, structured explanations. This made retention difficult, especially with closed-note exams. Students who benefit from step-by-step breakdowns may struggle, particularly non-traditional learners seeking a more supportive teaching approach
