STAT 302 taken over the summer. Very good teacher, helpful, and pretty funny. You get what you put in, keep up with the material, get in a study group, and you will do very well. 5 A's out of the 6 people in my study group. Tests are worded tricky, but they kind of have to be or else it would be too easy. Overall good experience, recommended.
Seems like a nice guy at first, entertaining and animated with lecture and jokes. But his tests are absolutely miserable. They don't seem to follow the material taught in class and are as difficult as possible. He literally tried to trick you. If you must take him, I highly recommend Tutor John. One of the hardest classes I've had at A&M.
He is an excellent prof. He occasionally sings to the class, and you can tell he really loves what he's teaching. He is always available and helpful. He's great, and highly recommended!
Loved Scott Crawford! He's animated and makes the material as entertaining and relevant as possible. I thoroughly enjoyed coming to class. Not to say course work is super easy it will challenge you to think but he is very helpful and wants you to understand the material. Take notes in class and do the work and you should do well.
A hidden gem
He wants you to pass the class and the course load is extremely manageable, he has a great sense of humor but beware of his statistic pop songs.
Weekly homework that is easy to learn and do from watching his youtube videos. Scott Crawford is a real hidden gem of a professor.
Scott Crawford is a hidden gem, please take him!. Homework is doable and his lectures are very helpful and entertaining. He is clear and concise when someone asks a question and during his lectures. He truly cares about his students. Tests are very similar to the reviews.
Scott Crawford is hilarious. His lectures are enjoyable to attend or watch on YouTube. He gets the point across and teaches you what you need to know for the exams. The homework each week is all relevant to the exams. Highly, highly recommend.
Prof Crawford is great! Funny/informative with responses to questions and sings before class starts which is pretty fun. Asking him a question always gives a straight answer. Class structure not bad at all. The only troubling part is having a lot of homework, but it's made up for by having exams with lots of partial credit and one freebie question.
There is not a better prof for 211. His lectures are extremely helpful since he goes over very similar problems that show up on the homework and tests. The practice exams are very helpful to study. Show up to class and do the practice exams and you should get an A. He is extremely helpful after class and in office hours if you have any questions.
Dr. Crawford is the best. Definitely take him if you can. The class is entertaining, you learn a lot, and it's a reasonable amount of work. It is incredibly easy to get an A if you put in the work and do what is expected of you (which is always very reasonable). I couldn't recommend a better prof. If you have the ability to take him, TAKE HIM!!!
I took him for STAT 211, and I am lucky I did. There is weekly homework that follows the previous week's lecture. The tests are a breeze if you do the three practice exams. He makes 4 exams and chooses 3 of them as practice, so the material on them is very similar, if you do the homework and practice exams at least once you are guaranteed an A
He is a very fun professor to take. He sings statistic parodies in class and will go through any problem on the homework that you ask about. Very easy to get along with and talk to, and really cares about his students.
Dr. Crawford is so engaging, and the most fun professor I've ever had. There is weekly hw which can be time-consuming, however, Dr. Crawford takes the beginning of every class to help you out on tough hw problems. He also provides about 3-4 practice tests before every exam which is very helpful. 10/10 recommend, the BEST choice for STAT 211!
Definitely one the best professors I've had. STAT 211 wasn't an easy class but he made it much easier to understand. First day of class I show up thinking im late, walk in and he's on the table singing and dancing to a parody of a song he made for stats. 10/10 would recommend
Easily one of my favorite professors I've ever had. Dr. Crawford obviously cares about his students and making sure they're engaged singing to us on more than one occasion. This class was one of the few classes that I looked forward to going to. HW heavy, but answers all questions about it. Take this prof I promise you won't regret it.
If you're going to take STAT 211, Professor Crawford is your guy! He makes the material seem like a cakewalk, and his enthusiasm and in-class performances are hilarious. The weekly homework is very manageable and if you have any questions about it, he will happily help you out. Overall a really rad prof!
Professor Crawford is a really great guy! His lectures are a little chaotic, but he is super helpful when asked questions. His homework and practice exams are also super good prep for exams. I would definitely recommend him for stats!
Absolute BEST prof I had, never taken stats but he explained very well and I learned a lot. Definitely not a blow off class though but you will enjoy his lectures. He also has extra videos available. First day of class I thought i was late, walked in to him dancing on the table to a parody song he made about stats! This man is absolutely amazing!!!
I think Professor Crawford is the best choice if you are looking to take STAT 211. His tests aren't that hard if you do the practice exams that he puts up before the exams. Plus he is unbelievably funny and makes lectures fun and interesting. Definitely take him if you get the chance.
The best professor I have ever had hands down. Almost makes me want to change majors to stats just so I can take more of his classes. Very kind and great at explaining things. The lectures are very entertaining. Do the practice exams he posts and you will easily make an A.
Professor Crawford has to be the best professor I have ever had! Whenever I had difficulty with my homework, I would ask him about it during his office hours or in class and he would help me understand it. There are several questions on his homework but what he covers in lecture covers what you need. If you have to take STAT 211, take it with him!
Prof. Crawford is superb- he knows the content well, knows how to teach it well, and is hilarious and engaging. He clearly cares about his students and goes to great lengths to give them good resources to learn. At the same time, his class isn't difficult. Wish all my professors were like him! Fully recommend :)
Scott Crawford is by far the best STAT 211 professor at A&M, his lectures are very entertaining and he makes a very big effort to make a connection with all of his students. His online resources for the class are the amazing and he gives many practice exams prior to the exam, which make the exams very easy.
I didn't really go to lecture that often, but I recommend it. Easily my favorite professor, makes statistics enjoyable, which is an accomplishment in and of itself. You just don't find professors with passion like him. Easy A IMO, HW is not easy but not difficult, for tests, just do all the reviews and you'll get an A. Didn't take AP stats, got 99.
If you're currently registering for classes and looking at a bunch of RMP posts about STAT211 instructors, stop what you're doing and go take Professor Crawford. No spots left? Submit a force request to the Statistics department. Take Crawford by all means necessary. P.S. If you took AP Stats in HS, this class will be even more of a breeze.
THIS MAN IS A GEM. He truly cares about getting to know his students and engaging the class with the material. He makes complicated topics SO easy to understand and digest. Pay attention, do the homework, and it's hard not to get an A in his class. I genuinely looked forward to his lectures! All of my other friends in 211 were miserable. TAKE HIM!!
Stat 211 was a great class! Prof. Crawford made every class a joy to attend. Attendance isn't mandatory but I highly recommend it. I looked forward to going to class as much as I could. The exams aren't easy, but he doesn't throw crazy curveballs at you.
If you are taking STAT 211, take Dr. Crawford. He is hilarious and an extremely good teacher. His lectures are never dull and he prepares you for the homework and exams very well.
STAT 211: YT vids online that he posts, truly cares, makes stats easy, homework/exams arent terrible By far one of the best professors Ive ever had. You would be *seriously* missing out by not choosing to have him as yours. At the beginning of every class, he would literally sing songs about statistic on top his rolly chair everyday. TAKE HIM!
This man has to be the best professor I've taken so far, his lectures are easy to understand and he has youtube videos in case you need further explanation. If you need to take STAT211, I'd strongly recommend taking him!!
Very good lectures. He sings songs about statistics in class and has the voice of an angel. It was a fun class. Also you get a cheat sheet on exams and they're not very difficult. Easy A.
Crawford is fantastic he is so nice and funny and he has short lectures posted for extra help. He offers zoom during the lectures and actually keeps up with it. There are 3 exams that are weighted kind of heavy bc there are not too many questions. He wants to know your name and loves to answer questions. He is a great prof 15/10! Take him!!!
Great guy and Professor. Not a hard class as long as you do the homework's which can take along time and do the exam reviews. Really liked his personality and his YouTube videos were great (especially the intros) resources when doing the homework.
One of my fav profs so far. He is super nice and jokes in class. He records his lectures, works out problems on the hw in class. His hw problems are good practice and will take a long time to do towards the end of the course. Do practice tests. Ask questions in class. Great class!!
Weekly homework, no quiz. You don't have to go toclads since lectures are on zoom AND recorded AND he has pre recorded videos over all the topics. Very nice and easy to reach prof. Easy class just watch the videos and start the homework before it's due. Homework is easy just a little long. Must participate in an online group discussion.
Wow he might be the best prof Ive ever had! Super nice, funny, and caring. His lectures on YouTube are so simple and easy to understand. He has a clear layout and doesnt do overly complex problems. Again, he is the most caring prof ever and even wants to learn his students names. Waiting for a spot for his class is worth it.
Lots of online resources to help out when you're doing the homework/studying for the exam. Past exams will cover everything on an upcoming exam (do all of them!) and his YouTube videos are goated. Super caring prof. Please do yourself a favor and take him.
HE'S THE GOAT, THE GOAT
actually fun to attend
Definitely take this prof if you can get one of his sections.
Crawford is the best! I honestly did not go to class much but this class is so easy and he puts so much work into helping students understand it. It is so hard to do bad in this class, and there is a very clearly set up grading scheme and tons of notes online that explain everything. Seriously my favorite teacher definitely take him!
Dr. Crawford is one of the best professors I have ever had. He truly cares about his students and is very passionate about the subject. If you take his class, you will have a blast in STAT 211.
TAKE HIS SECTION! I cannot stress this enough. Class is not difficult, and homework is helpful, tests are fair. Crawford is what makes this class great. He teaches the material well, is funny, is engaging of in-class and zoom students, makes an effort to learn/use everyone's names, and sings songs every unit. He cares so much. What a legend
Outside of perhaps Todd Schrader, he was perhaps the best professor I've had so far. He has super funny lectures which help the students learn and are super engaging. The thing that makes Crawford different is his care for his students. Definetly would take him again for being such a caring and engaging professor.
Dr. Crawford is one of the best professors! I especially enjoyed how he was able to incorporate fun into the classroom. Some of my favorite days were when we started with a statistics themed song and then had back-and-forth sarcasm throughout the class as we learned new topics. Beware the difference between matched pairs and two-sample t-tests!
BEST PROF EVER. If you take Dr. Crawford, you are guaranteed an A if you put in a little effort. Extremely fun and caring professor that turns a fairly boring subject into a very fun class. Has notes and videos for every single topic in the course. DR. Crawford is a must take!
Do whatever you have to to get into his sections! Amazing professor, he is caring, funny, and has great lectures, even if you watch live on zoom. He explains concepts in a very straightforward manner and works out the hard HW problems at the beginning of each class. Tests are very fair and do partial credit. More than 80% of students got A's!
Dr. Crawford ROCKS. You can always tell when a prof genuinely cares about the material/class. He knew all of our names by the third week (sooner if you came to and participated in lectures regularly) and will answer just about any question asked during class. Lectures are engaging with his songs and examples, and notes are posted for extra help.
So caring!! Truly one of my favorite professors. He is dedicated to his students' learning and goes above and beyond to help each students. His lectures are easy to follow and he helps with homework. You get a study sheet for each exam. He learned every students' name and is so funny!
Dr. Crawford is incredible and makes STAT 211 easy and enjoyable. 10/10
Made STAT 211 fun and I actually liked going to class. He is definitely a 5/5 prof.
Awesome teacher! Attendance is not mandatory and he holds zoom classes while in person lecture and interacts with both and only assigns one homework a week and able to ask him to solve them in class(5 trys per part of question) and everything he says makes sense. 10/10 teacher wish I could have him for my other stats classes.
Crawford is an amazing professor. Class can be confusing sometimes but Crawford makes everything clear with examples, sayings to help you remember stuff, parodies of songs for each new unit, and a great sense of humor. 10/10, highly recommend if you can get into his classes. Also very lenient and willing to work with students if there is a conflict
Professor Crawford was amazing. He's hilarious and goes out of his way to make everyone enjoy statistics lectures. The class isn't difficult if you do the homework and do the practice exams before the exam. He is hands down the best statistics professor you can have!
I have never taken statistics before in my life, but Dr. Crawford made the topic so easy to grasp that I didn't go to a single class after the first exam and was still able to do very well in the course. He posts notes and prerecorded videos over topics that are very easy to understand. The homework is a great tool to practice and get feedback!
His lectures are fantastic and he does an amazing job of making statistics engaging and easy-to-digest. Lectures were recorded but his infectious personality and great teaching style made me want to come to class every single day. He learned everyone's names and sang a song for every new topic we learned. The best professor I have ever had.
Dr. Crawford is simply amazing. His lectures are great, and he provides slideshows and videos for people who learn better that way. He makes the material very easy to understand. He is understanding, cares about his students, and makes his lectures entertaining. Take his class if you can!!!
He's as good as they say. Responds to emails.
Easily my favorite teacher ever. I even showed up to his class on a subsequent semester just to reexperience his class.
He sings statistics songs and has fun with the class. The HW and tests aren't that bad and he makes an effort to make the content more understandable. All his lectures were also on zoom and he posted the recordings afterward, so attending class is very optional, but since his lectures are so good I would recommend going often.
scott is great. his tests are pretty chill and he lets you bring in notes sheets. homeworks can be time consuming. he has youtube videos on how to do the stuff and class is not mandatory. he has zooms for every class too.
crawford is the goat, best stats prof. exams r very like the exam review. hw can sometimes take a while but its very helpful (webassign). he's rlly funny, records all his lectures, and there's supplementary videos on his website.
Dr. Crawford makes this class a breeze! He's super passionate, very willing to help students, and explains things in a super clear and engaging way. He has a zoom open during every lecture, posts zoom recordings, and makes supplemental lecture videos--attendance is super optional, but you won't regret showing up. 10/10.
Not a single bad thing to say about Professor Crawford. His class was the most high school-oriented class I've taken in college in the best way possible. He was very engaging and sang every Monday and sometimes with his guitar. He really made sure everyone understood and felt included in class.
Dr. Crawford was an excellent professor. It's not often that classes feel like they go by fast or are actually entertaining, but his classes didn't feel like a chore. They were genuinely amusing and fun to attend. The way he teaches makes it easy to follow along. He also posts videos on YouTube which is helpful for those not attending lectures.
Dr. Crawford is one the best professors I've ever had. He posts lectures online if you have to miss. You can tell he wants his students to succeed. So happy I had him for stats 211.
One of the best professors I have ever had here. Very caring of his students and makes an effort to learn everyone's name. Exams are graded very fairly and are not difficult at all. Weekly home can be a little tedious but helps learn the content. Highly recommend.
Only professor that made me actually look forward to class. You're graded by weekly homeworks, 2 midterms, and a final. The introvert in me truly appreciated that he took the effort to learn everyone's name. He posts his lectures online, but you don't want to miss his songs and table-flipping in person. He makes statistics very enjoyable and easy!
Professor Crawford is amazing! You can see he genuinely cares for his students when he learns all the names of everyone that attends lectures. He also makes lectures very engaging and helps a lot with homework during class. Also, he has his lectures available on zoom and he records them, so they are very accessible! Highly highly recommend!
Genuinely cares about his students. He knew every single person by name. Provided online option and recorded lectures so I never fell too far behind. Exams can be hard, but he will help with homework in class and answer questions very well. Entertaining and fun lectures. Not too fast of a class and he goes over relevant examples. 100000/10!!!!
Crawford is awesome. Class is easy, but don't start the homework too late; they can be kinda long. And don't start skipping class like I did, or things start to get a little harder. Exams are exactly like homework and he gives free points on all of them. You get use notes on them too!
Crawford is so insanely funny. He is the best instructor at Texas A&M for statistics, and if you don't get him, you should take STAT211 at Blinn.
Easiest class ever. Lectures posted online, homework prepares you well for the exams, posts past exams which is all the study material you need, and has an insane amount of youtube videos that go over all the different concepts in this class. Super approachable as well, so if you want an easy A highly recommend taking him.
Dr. Crawford is by far the best professor I have had at Texas A&M. He has multiple practice tests available before each test, and they are really the only study material you need. Dr. Crawford also takes time before every class to welcome in each of his students by name, which no professor I've had has done before. He is super kind and approachable
Take Crawford. Just do it. (he sings in class y'all)
Most based professor I've ever had. He's very nice, he teaches well, and his class is pretty easy. He also writes his own songs and sings them.
STAT 212 online over the summer was honestly the most disorganized and horribly run class I have ever taken. Not really sure why he has so many positive reviews. Only material provided to study for exams was practice exams with countless typos and incorrect answer choices. Doesn't seem like a guy with a PHD by the way he lectures/teaches. Horrible.
Only gets 3 because he's personable/accessible outside class. Seems nice, maybe he's great for 211, but 212 was bad. Inherited the material (practice exams included), seemingly didn't check any of it beforehand, so many many errors were present. Stupidly worded exam questions, *slight* curves. Good luck getting an A unless you're a genius.
Crawford is a really funny guy and genuinely cares about his students. However, the online 212 class is absolutely horribly put together with error-ridden exams. DO NOT expect a curve to save you. Crawford is a really great 211 professor, so he should stick with that until the 212 class has time to develop. Just take the class in person - trust.
STAT 212 summer online class is the worst online class I have ever taken. Nothing is well-organized and there is not enough practice material. While the professor had good energy and cared about the student, it was not enough to save the class. He also taught things that was not going to be on exam, so teach yourself.
This guy makes stats a blowoff class on a college level. You want this guy.
We had 13 weekly assignments on free WebAssign with 5 tries each. There were two midterms, which mirrored the practice exams. Attendance is optional and there are recorded lectures. He blends humor with learning with his singing and light-hearted jokes. Excellent and easy professor for 211 and a great class option if you want to honors contract.
Dr.Crawford is one of the best professors i've ever had at TAMU. You can tell he cares for his students by his lecture style and he's always open to answering any questions at any time. Homework is worth a good portion of your grade, which is a free 100 if you do it on time. Great prof for stats!!
Awesome prof
Very caring and funny professor who's always trying to make his student's day. His lectures are easy to follow, prepare you well for the assignments, and are very engaging. Homework and exams are relatively easy in difficulty.
Practice exams are similar to real exams. Probably the most engaging lecturer I've had, and very willing to help and teaches super well.
Genuinely such an excellent professor. Just show up to class and engage with the lesson. If you do the homeworks and understand them, you will be fine.
Dr.Crawford is a fantastic professor. During his lectures he explains the concepts as if the class is discovering them for the first time, which really aided in my understanding of the material. Practice exams are given and actual exams are much like them. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic lecturer, easily one of the best professors I've ever had. Makes statistics very clear and fun to learn. Grading is based on weekly homework and 3 exams, and you can attend every lecture virtually/review recordings.
Excellent prof. His lectures were very engaging. The homework also wasn't bad and the exam reviews almost perfectly matched the exams. This was a very easy class to get an A in. Just do the HomeWorks and learn the practice exams before the exams and you should get an A.
Very cool dude
Fantastic professor. He truly brightened my day everytime I walked into the classroom. Class was extremely manageable, and lectures are crystal clear. Learned everyone's names. He really cared about students succeeding and getting to know them. One of the only profs (along with Dr Tatiana from PHYS) who I'll really miss seeing every week.
All lectures are recorded and available on zoom, and all slides and extra videos are posted on every topic. Incredibly accessible class. Content is easy, so you will do fine.
First day of lecture and he sang. He really cares, the course is easily accessible outside of class, and really just a fun dude overall. If you're wondering why his sections close up fast... look no further than the rest of the reviews here.
The goat. I think I stopped attending lectures after the first week, but he posted his recordings on zoom and had a zoom meeting for those that couldnt attend in person. His practice tests were basically the exams but with different numbers and was a great lecturer, making it easy for me to cram months worth of material the night before the exam.
Super engaging lectures even though they aren't mandatory. Exams are identical to homework problems and practice exams. Very funny and approachable guy.
STAT 211 with Scott Crawford is my favorite class I've taken at A&M by far. It felt like a high school class in all the right ways. Crawford is hilarious and invites students to joke around with him too. I was a huge goof-off in high school and felt like the clock was turned back. The class is an easy A unless you're me who goofed up the first exam
Prof. Crawford is absolutely amazing. I took his online class and joined the Zoom class lecture. Every now and then, he would sing to make the class fun. Even while being online, it was always engaging, since he would include the students and ask questions. Furthermore, he made the course really easy to learn by showing us patterns between units.
Wonderful professor. Lectures were always a good time and he really teaches you to have fun with everything you do. Super helpful. One of the best professors I've ever had.
Without him, my first semester after transferring from community college would have been miserable. He has all the traits that make STAT 211 a class I won't miss: singing and simplifying concepts and methods, homework that wasn't insanely hard, and test questions that 100% encapsulate the homework and his reviews. Take him, easiest A so far in A&M.
Crawford is such a fun professor, and he makes an effort to get to know each student. His exams are almost exactly like the homework, and he's willing to help with homework questions in class. His lectures are super helpful, but sometimes it's easy to get lost. No slides. But his exam reviews were amazing.
GOAT. cares so much about teaching and makes the concepts as simple as possible.
Alot of the time I looked forward to Crawford's lecture due to how joyful and fun Crawford was. Stats is relatively easy, but Crawford makes it much easier with his simple explanations and tricks. His HW preparr you well for the exam, and he is more than willing to help in office hours. 100% take. Def one of my favorites.
It's always a joyful morning when I get to attend Dr. Crawford's lectures. He often sings for us songs that he made relating to Stats topics; probably the best of the 211 profs. Exams are common. Before each exam, he gives a practice exam and TWO past exams that are very similar to the exam. Make sure you do those and an A is very doable.
The absolute best professor for Stat 211. If you have the opportunity to take Prof. Crawford for this class take it and enjoy it. He makes Statistics easy to understand and makes you actually want to come to his class with his singing and class demonstrations!
Easiest 5 I've ever given, Crawford's lectures were hilarious and clearly communicated the content in an easily digestible way among a sea of profs that left their students lost. You can really tell from his lectures how passionate he is about statistics and that he cares about his students learning the content and doing well, try to take him!
Boy oh boy, where do I begin? Scott, my honey, my pookie bear... Mr. Scott is pure sunshine. He somehow made statistics fun. With legendary singing, dad-tier jokes, and elite character, Mr. C brought pure bliss to all my mornings. I recommend Mr. Scott to everyone. My only gripe? He didn't show up in his birthday suit to our final exam Zoom call!.
