I am taking 213 with Scott this semester and he gives you every oppurtunity to exceed. He puts his notes on D2L before class so you can follow along and fill in notes as needed. His tests are fair and posts youtube videos covering virtually any question you'll see on a midterm.

Scott is awesome! Don't listen to these fools saying he is a joke and unclear and brutal to his students. He makes lectures engaging and knows his stuff. Likes to crack jokes. Course is hard, but go to class and keep up with notes, study hard and you will be fine! Best stats prof I have had at U of C.

Difficult class, test and quizzes are more or less similar in difficulty. Scott is very helpful and is willing to accommodate reasonable requests. His online proofs are very helpful. His lectures are fairly engaging but he sometimes gets lost in the material. You need the textbook to do well but there are pdfs online.

Love him. He make statistic really easy in class. Make sure you come to class or you would get lost easily.

Scott Robison was one of the best professors I have had. He did absolutely everything he could to help us succeed. The class was very difficult, but he somehow still made it enjoyable. He is also very approachable and funny. I would definitely take another class with him.

Scott is very reasonable and tries his best to help students and be there for them, he is the only prof I have ever had to have office hours 5 days a week, he posts videos of nearly every example and proof done in class. His tests aren't easy and sometimes wordy but unlike other Stats profs is willing to curve. Wished he taught 323. 321 is hard!

I thought Robison was a great prof, the best i've had. The tests are hard, but it prepares you well for the final exam. The videos he posts for examples in his notes are VERY helpful and he encourages you to see him if you need help. Makes the lectures interesting and uses funny examples to help you remember things. Wont be forgetting the P-value!

Great Professor. He was incredibly helpful in a class that is pretty challenging. Brings an upbeat style to his teaching and is always available if you need any help. Tough tests but that is the nature of the class

Scott explains the material really well and makes it seem easy. Gives multiple ways to tackle questions. However the questions on the assignments are very hard and on the tests are even harder. Feels like he wants to see deep understanding of stuff that wasn't even covered in class. He does curve the grades to make it fair, though.

take stats with Robison! This is a hard course but Scott provided all the tools to do well if you're willing to put in work. His youtube videos are SO helpful and he has one for virtually every type of question. helpful in office hours and has a bunch of them. If you review everything his midterms were fair and they prepare you for the killer final

Ignore the haters. If you are taking Stats, take it with Scott. His biggest asset compared to other stats profs is the ability to grasp the English Language. Great guy, would definitely learn from again.

Hey everyone who is mandatory to take Stat. My friend I had to take Stat 213 for Fall 2015. He took with Stalard and I with Robinson. I must say he disappointed so bad. Scott gave us many chances along the course. Also he had 5 hours of office hours, which he only had to have one. Also very helpful one to one too. I don't regret any single second

Scott is an amazing professor. I don't understand how some people say he is unapproachable or rude to students! I saw him in office hours multiple times and you can tell he genuinely cares for his students' success. Not an easy class, but if you put the work in you will definitely see positive results. Would recommend taking his class

He was very good in lectures. Notes are very detailed with lots of examples which all have videos with them. Gave us opportunities for bonus marks on midterms. very good at merging english and stats.

Scott's genuinely cares about his students and is willing to help them out. He has LOTS of videos on example problems. One thing i didn't like is how this course uses minitab throughout the semester but on the final you can't use minitab, which i really don't understand why since students are grown so accustom to it. 50 MINS TO WRITE ALL TESTS!!!

Not the worst prof to have for statistics 213 or 217, but expect tough assignments and midterms. Scott is fair with his tests by giving opportunities to gain a small percentage of what you lose on tests back with bonus assignments.

Scott is an amazing prof. While his tests are hard, he does prepare you for what's about to come for the finals. He gives you all the materials you need anyways for all the assignments and the midterms, not to mention he's very fair with grades. Definitely recommend going to his office hours for clarity. Also, he's very passionate about Stats.

I came into this class thinking I was going to hate it, however it ended up being one of my favourite classes! I'm horrible at math but Scott gives tons of examples and is a really fair marker. He is an amazing prof & is super passionate about what he does. He genuinely wants his students to do well. So as long as you try, you'll do great!

Although this class requires a lot of work, Scott makes it as easy as he can. He gives tons of examples & is probably the most reasonable prof I have ever had. He wants his students to succeed. He is really funny & his lectures go by fairly quickly. Fair amount of homework but if you try, you will get a good grade.

He posts all of his notes online and goes through a lot of examples in class. He spends a lot of time showing how to do the calculations using software which was nice as we got the computer for the midterms and final. His tests can be a bit difficult but gives a very generous curve.

Scotty is a good prof and tries his best to make sure his students learn the material. Course is difficult but his explanations make it better but a downside is that his midterms are that much more difficult. He removed us from his D2L an hour before the test began which sucks cause you dont find out what we got on final until Myuofc is uploaded

I took Scott's class as a 'science' option. I was nervous going into it since math isn't my forte, but Scott's YouTube videos and his clear passion for statistics made this class a pleasure to take. He gives many opportunities for extra credit, which is nice since his tests are pretty difficult, and somehow I ended the class with B+!

Stats was the class I was most scared about. Took 213 and 217 with Scott and they were my two highest classes. Great prof, YouTube videos are amazing, especially in 213. Very helpful in office hours, always has a line out his door. Downfall is all his tests focus on minitab, try to get your mark as high as possible before the final with no minitab.

Scott is a real gem. He tries his best to make you understand the material. He was really nice if you asked him questions, as long as his mood was great. His tests are not hard but they can be surprising. Midterms and Assignments are easy as long as you watch his videos (Long but SUPER USEFUL + hints). Come to class! Final is hard, not his fault.

Scott is the best teacher for getting through introductory stats (213/217). His passion for the subject reflects in his teaching, and he instills a passion in students that's rare to find with most other profs. Make use of his office hours, he will always go to any extent to make sure you learn a concept.

Scott cares a lot about his students and wants you to do well. Make sure that you put in effort before asking how to do questions though, and go to office hours instead of trying to ask questions before/after class. If he's taking time out of his day to do an extended office hour for midterm/final review... GO!

I suck at math but Scott made it possible for me to do well in his class. He genuinely cares about the success of his students. He goes through tons of examples in class, gives homework that helps for the exams and is clear on what he expects on the exams. The exams are not easy but if you do the homework, you will do well. He is also very funny!

Scott Robison (not to be confused with Scott Robinson) is a saint of a prof! His lectures are entertaining and informative! He understands the difficulty of the course and is willing to work and help the students. I'm lucky to have had him for 2 of my courses so far. 10/10!

Good prof. The only reservation I have is rounding and emphasis for 4-decimal place rounding. Because of this poor answer input system many capable students are losing marks because of discrepancy between calculator calibration. I am completely disgusted and appalled the university approved 4-decimal places for answers. it should be 3 AT MOST!

Quality guy that seems to care about each student specifically. His marking is harsh but he is always willing to hear your side and admit if he makes a mistake.

Legend

Astounding professor, he has videos posted online which supplement his lectures and help out students anywhere/anytime.

Scott is a great professor. His grading is very fair. During lectures he does an excellent job at explaining difficult concepts. I would recommend him to anyone.

Great Prof! Scott teaches this course knowing that you're not a math major. His lectures are well organised and his notes are solid with plenty examples. He almost has videos on all of his notes and in these videos, he goes through the examples and his notes. He is very fair and tries very hard to teach the content thoroughly. Would recommend

Scott is great at what he does. Although this is a very tough class, he definitely sets up the people who put in the effort to succeed. The way he runs his class is very organized and efficient. He's very clear about what his expectations are, is super approachable, and genuinely cares about his students.

He made the transition from High school to university a little bit easier. Although I was assigned in JingJing's lectures, she was terrible and I just went to Scott's. He goes a little fast so keep up! For stats, he's a real gem. Even if you don't get what he's saying in class, he has YouTube videos for you to watch to really understand the concept

Beauty

Robison is one of the best profs I've had so far. He is very respectful of students. He posts videos on the content which is really helpful. Towards the end of the semester he posted filled in notes. Take notes in class, he does examples that are really helpful.

Very knowledgable and very helpful. Go to class, do not skip or else you will be very lost for the rest of the semester. Midterms were hard, wish that we were taught how to do problems more by hand then on minitab, which we weren't allowed to use on the final. Wish labs were easier and there was more time to go over the material that was covered.

Scott's a really great prof. Explains the matter in a very creative way and is thorough. Can rush through the matter at times but would definitely slow down a bit to help you understand. Is very easily accessible during office hours and it is advisable to attend those at times . Is always ready to listen to you and give you feedbacks to do well.

i very like him, i will take his course again

Scott is a good choice. Better for people who have a strong math background, as he goes through material fairly fast. Assignments were very time consuming, at least for me. Labs are basically a pass or fail, they're usually only out of a few points. It's annoying that we learn to use software all year and then don't get to use it for the final.

Great teacher! Knows what he's doing

Awesome proof would definatly recommend, has amazing helpful videos online for all the lectures.

The real MVP. His notes are amazing, and he gives students multiple chances before the finals to improve their marks. If you didn't understand something in the lecture, he'll post a youtube video just in case. Best prof out there.

From the very beginning I knew Scott was an excellent, professor, but it wasn't until I had a professor from hell in 217 where I truly appreciated Scott's teaching abilities. He is thorough, explains material so clearly, and genuinely cares about the well-being of his students. By far my favourite prof from my university experience thus far.

Scott is honestly just a great person and prof. He's engaging and makes class fun to go to, and is always willing to go the extra mile if you see him for help outside of class. He's extremely clear on what is going to be on the midterms as well, and the videos and note booklets he posts on d2l are extremely helpful resources. Take Scott if you can!

Scott is so passionate about stats, it makes the class worth coming to. He is funny, excellent at explaining concepts, and easily approachable. Easily one of, if not the best professor for STAT 217.

THE GOAT. Had him for 213, and now 217. His passion for stats is infectious and makes the lectures more interesting. Hopefully I have more lectures with him in the future.

Had Scott for 213 and 217. He's a great prof who's really enthusiastic about stats and his lectures are really clear and concise. He's really good at explaining concepts in a simplified way so everyone can easily understand. I really enjoyed his class overall. Definitely take stats with Scott if possible.

Scott's a great prof. Honestly STATS classes aren't my forte and he's very good at explaining and providing examples and how to do them. He's also funny and passionate about the class which makes it more enjoyable. Only thing is he teaches a lot using Minitab which is great for the midterms but not at all for the final; so don't get used to that.

Scott has his quirks but he's an A+ character who's very genuine in all that he does. A family man. Midterms are so easy, all very similar to his practice tests. Final was easy this year as well... I did a previous final from a year that Stallard wrote it and it was 10x harder than Scott's. Thank god I took Stat 217 at the right time!

Would recommend for stats, puts up videos on d2l and gives videos of class material. He is also easy to understand.

Good Professor and honest about the difficulty of the course

Hes the biggest babe of first year business. Certified Beauty

Scott is great, his teaching style is easy to understand. As long as there is effort put in on your behalf, this class will come fairly easy. Do the materials assigned and the tests will be an easy pass. Scott does what he can to set you up for success, highly recommended.

Scott is very understandable and his lectures are very helpful. The quizzes and assignments are totally manageable. Definitely recommend him as a prof

Scott is a really great prof, and cares a lot about his students. His notes are clear to understand and the tests and assignments aren't hard! His videos are super helpful as well!

Scott has been one of my favourite profs so far. His notes are super helpful and he actually makes Stats understandable. If you put in some effort into the class you'll do fine.

Scott is a really good prof, you can tell that he cares about his students and actually takes time to make videos on d2L for extra help. He is passionate about his job which shows while he is teaching. He breaks things down by providing memorable examples in class. He actually makes stats understandable and I do not completely hate his class!

he explains stats very clearly and understands what would be hard/ confusing to the students. he posts videos on D2L, which are so helpful. He tends to cover many materials at a class sometimes, but I can tell that he cares about the student. As long as you put your effort, you have enough resources to learn well.

Despite the difficulty of the course Scott can make the lesson very enjoyable. Mornings aren't too bad with his jokes and stories, and he made Stats less boring than it should be. Of course tests are still difficult and his videos are helpful but his teaching style can be effective, if not usually. Just be sure to study still.

If you have to take stats, take it with him. His jokes are great and he posts helpful videos on d2l. The course is difficult, but he tries his best to help you understand the material

I wouldn't want to take stats with anyone besides Scott. He goes out of his way to provide great notes you can print off before class and posts the solutions to these notes on D2L. His exams are exactly like his assignments and quizzes. Show up to class and to your labs and it's easy to do well.

funny and a good prof

Scott taught me a lot about stats, especially the importance of a big p-value. Would take his class again.

scott was great. he actually made me challenge yet enjoy stats. He's a good lecturer, chill and laid back.

Many people dislike statistics because they find the concepts difficult to grasp. Professor Robison is highly skilled at communicating statistical concepts, and his teaching style is far better than other statistics professors. His mock final exam was excellent preparation for the real final exam, and the course isn't too difficult if you try hard.

really good professor. Makes the classes interesting. Stats isnt an easy class so you do need to attend but if you show up you'll be fine!

The class itself was fairly hard, but he tought it well. Uses a more concept and hands on teaching method as in he does questions during lecture in order to explain methods, which for me i like. Speaks clear english and is very enthusiastic as well.

I think he was a good lecturer. He explains stats clearly, so I don't think I had any troubles understanding the professor even though English is my second language. In fact, I made sure I attended all the classes because I knew that I would miss a lot even if I miss only one class. He is strict yet you do have all the materials to learn well

Scott is genuinely pretty passionate about the subject he teaches and it comes across as such in his lectures. As long as you do the homework and pay attention in lectures you are pretty much guaranteed a good mark. The final was pretty much just given since a practice final was uploaded and was basically the exact same.

Scott is an amazing professor. He redeemed my interest and faith in professors and this course. He does give a lot of assignments and its imperative that you do them by yourself. He is an easy grader but you need to show your understanding. The final was not easy because it was more multiple choices. I hope University Of Calgary doesn't loose him.

Tests were fair, but he crammed in too much in too little time. My main complaint was that towards midterm, he stopped going through problems step-by-step and would just project the notes, point, and talk to get through the material more quickly - not helpful for comprehension. Overall good instructor.

Legend prof, prepares you well for final. All assignments, midterms, and quizzes are fair.

I had Scott for 213 and decided to take 217 with him. His lectures are engaging and he covers exactly what you need to know in a way that everyone can understand. Midterms for 213 were pretty tough but he doesn't put any unfair material on them. Very easy to get ahold of in office hours or by email. 100% the best stats prof at u of c

His lectures are very very organized and he provides lots of examples during his lectures which I found them helpful.

Students who give this prof a low rating must have learning disabilities. Robinson's lectures are great and easy to follow and he posts videos online which go over them and numerous questions. Best professor at University.

Scott is great, he challenges you and makes you really work for your marks in his courses, which I feel like sets you up for success in other courses as well. His exams are pretty tricky and the wording can sometimes catch people off guard. So be on guard ! His lectures and notes are very well done, Highly recommended taking Scott for 213 and 217.

Scott's lectures are organized and to the point. He gives lots of examples for each concept, also posts youtube videos of him going over extra examples. First part of the course was on perms and combs which was not my forte. His tests are fair, just study the assignments and examples. He curved both of our midterms, so definitely a reasonable prof

Good guy with good intentions, sometimes he's a little lost, but he makes good notes

His exams will not be the same as class material.

Scott is quite easy to learn from. It's extremely helpful that he provides note packages for all of his lectures. I felt prepared for the midterms just by doing the assignments and weekly quizzes. He'll give you tons of practice material so don't let it go to waste; do all of the questions in each booklet and complete all the practice exams.

Words cannot describe how great a professor this man was throughout both Stat 213 and Stat 217. His extensive videos on his YouTube channel coupled with the incredibly insightful statistical knowledge he employed in lectures made his classes a gem. He's not for everybody, as he's standoffish and unfriendly in his office, but he's a fantastic prof.

His lecture sections were amazing, as the notes and material were clearly explained well. Even though the final exam does not have minitab, he prepares you well for the final exam. If you study and attend lectures with the printed notes, you will do awesome in the class!

Excellent lecturer with equally amazing notes. Study his notes carefully and you won't need the textbook. Thing is, the course is hard. Just like in 213, you need to know how to do calculations by hand for the final. Scott does examples by hand and through Minitab so make sure you pay attention AND GO TO CLASS. Can't stress that enough, attend!

He speeds through some of the material on minitab sometimes which is fine until you get to the final and dont have access to minitab. Super friendly guy who knows what hes teaching and teaches it well. Class is difficult but thats to be expected. Would definitely take another class with scott.

Scott gets a lot of negative feedback but I thought he was great when I had him for STAT 213. His lecture notes were great and following along during lectures really helped solidify concepts. He's a nice prof and is really enthusiastic and educated about the subject matter. Didn't need the textbook at all, just make sure you understand the notes

Loved the way he taught in class. Was effectively, clear and concise. Took his lectures for stat 213 and 217 and he was great for both! Very friendly and accessible in class and outside of class. All examinations are fair and he prepares all his students well for them. Do not buy the textbook, it is a waste of money with all the in class practice.

I had Scott for both 213/217 and he was amazing! He gets straight to the point in lectures, shows you every step for problems both by hand and by minitab. His exams are also quite fair w/ the material he teaches. Lectures are entertaining (even though it's stats) but he's so enthusiastic 'bout it. If you have Scott, you don't need the textbook.

I thoroughly enjoyed my classes with Scott this semester. He keeps lectures entertaining and still manages to get the information across. The course itself is hard but he does a great job teaching it. Labs are mandatory to write your quizzes so don't expect to skip those.

Scott was a great prof. I know some people don't recommend him for higher stat levels (300s and above) but for me personally, he was an excellent prof for stat 213. He taught the class material thoroughly and took his time with lectures but he we still managed to finish everything on time. Would strongly recommend to anyone needing to stats.

Scott is a really good prof. He may come across a bit rude at first but in reality, he's just super straightforward.

He is very good at teaching hard concepts & his lectures as well as the videos he would post were quite powerful tools. On the downside though he usually didnt give us enough time on tests but hed try to make that up with bonus marks on quizzes + 5% bonus from assignments. Final is quite hard. Overall hard course but good guy. Study a lot!!

Stats is pretty hard, but Scott wasnt in the slightest condescending when teaching the material. He would constantly tell the class how much people generally struggle with the course, and this made me feel like I wasnt the only one barely passing the course. I would recommend this prof

Ill stand by my opinion till the end that Scott is the best Stat prof out there. If you go to lecture, lab, and do the practice problems at the end of each note booklet youll do well despite the material being hard. Midterms and tests are worth quite a bit (70% of grade all together), but he boosted marks and theres a 5% bonus for assignments

Scott is a fast paced-prof, his tests are similar to assignments, he's good at teaching material, but all you need is a ton of practice to pass this course. Put in 100%, ask questions, do homework, and you'll see good results. Otherwise, Scott's smart with his questions and if you don't really understand the material, you wont solve well in exams.

Hilarious and sarcastic cowboy that loves math. I wouldn't want to take Stats with anyone but him. Good lectures, positive and funny. You must work hard and practice tons to do well. He does not make time outside of his scheduled office hours.

Great prof. Keeps you engaged during the lectures.

He is extremely fair and is not afraid to admit when a mistake is made and come to a solution that is best for everybody.

Very invested in the content, & a fantastic professor if you attend lectures. Fair tests & easy to do well if you keep on top of it. 2nd only to Claudia :)

Really funny, knows what he is talking about. Only complaint is that the lectures and learning is not too structured.

Scott gets a lot of bad rep for a course that is hard. It shouln't be taken as an option, and be prepared to work. He's really good at explaining concepts in a way that's understandable. His tests are too long and hard, but I have never written one of his tests he hasn't given bonus or curved. He's a fair guy with a great personality.

like every prof he isnt for everyone. i personally learned well from him but i do have friends who preferred other profs. his teaching style is fairly fast and steps can be skipped over during in class examples. its important that you keep up with the assignments and try to practice them until your comfortable. He has videos to solve problems !!

I had scott for 213 and 217. Initially he seems like he wont be a great prof but he gets better as you get used to him. Hes a funny prof and his lectures are good, but his writing is messy. Cares a lot for students in general but hard to access outside class and seems to brush off questions outside of class. Tests are easy if you practice.

Very good prof!!! Cant picture a good stats class where he doesnt teach it. You actually retain everything he teaches even after you write the final, unlike a few other profs. Take stats with him if you can.

This was my hardest class for the semester but also my FAVORITE. Scott is super funny and teaches the content well. He wants u to succeed even tho the midterms can be tough. There was a 5% bonus opportunity. As long as u go to his class and keep up with the weekly quizzes/assignments, you'll be good. Dont buy the textbook but make sure to practice.

Scott is honestly a professor who is worth considering when taking this course. Most people say he creates long and difficult tests, which he indeed does. However, if you go to class and work through problems in the textbook, you should be more than fine. Please don't trust what other people say about him, since this course is hard regardless.

Honestly, the best prof I've had at u of c so far (second year). His homework is hard and so are his exams but if you really pay attention to him in class and actually do your best to understand your homework assignments it's not a hard class. As for approachability if you ask a dumb question be prepared for a dumb response.

Scott is a pretty good prof. He is funny and keeps you on your feet. He makes learning fun and interesting. The course itself is not incredibly easy, but Scott does make it pretty easy. Scott is a little scatter-brained and disorganized but overall a good intructor.

Scott clearly enjoys the content he is teaching, so I never dreaded a lecture. Tests are difficult but in the end he is fair with the grading scheme. Don't ask stupid questions about course structure/grading as he can be a bit harsh. If you have valid questions about course material he does his best to help you (granted its in office hours).

Fast at teaching but you can quickly adapt to it. He can go off topic but can also get his point across. Overall not too hard of a course if you put in the effort to do good. Wouldn't recommend if you're a slow learner. Otherwise pretty good at teaching as he is straightforward

I got 50s on both midterm but Scotts notes got me a 90 on the final. Only reason I passed is because of his notes. Generally a good prof who just gets down to

I liked the way he taught STAT 213, he made the very dry material engaging. His writing is a little messy. I do recommend going to class because what is said in the lecture really helps during the assignments and quizzes. The assignments, quizzes and midterm are all marked by the computer so no room for bias.

Doesn't solve problems step by step, but rather pulls out the already-completed solution and talks about it really fast, so effort outside of the lecture is required to understand. He really does care about students tho. Always tries to be fair and doesn't want to "trick" anyone. Not the clearest, but his intentions are always in the right place :)

Scott is overall a decent prof. Like others said, he uses prewritten notes for 217 which makes it difficult to grasp concepts. He also relies on you knowing small details from 213, which I wish he reviewed prior

At the beginning of the semester, it seemed as if Scott had no clue what he was talking about. Now that the course is over I can see that this was not his fault but stats 217 is a random course with information tying in together in later units. He did everything he could to allow students to succeed, would recommend taking.

Did not go to any office hours so I don't know how he treats students, but as a professor, his teaching is clear and understandable. his notes are easy to understand, and watching the prelab videos basically guarantees you will do well on the quizzes.

Let me be clear, I hated statistics but the only reason I got an A and was able to understand anything in this course was because of this prof. Totally recommend him.

One of the best profs, my only advise for you is to study and not to skip classes, the content is easy and his assignments are easy to follow but only if you study the material. Also the midterms are heavily based on the assignment they are similar exercises.

During the online semester, all of the STAT 213 teachers worked together to provide students with lessons. I got to say, Scott and Thuntida are the only professors who were actually good this semester. Scott knows what he is talking about, you just have to pay very close attention because he does not waste time like some of the other professors.

gives pretty good online lectures and responds pretty well to discussion boards or emails. difficult class but lots of opportunity for practice. Can clearly understand each video as every topic is thoroughly communicated

AMAZING PROF, his instruction is phenomenal. Definitely recommend, go with him over any of the other profs. He makes STAT 213 easy, and that is important as this course is not too easy. He also checks emails quite quickly. GREAT PROF

He makes Stats actually understandable and is very clear and straight to the point. He is very promt on answering discussions and emails and overall made stats manageable.

Scott provides a lot of examples to help develop your understanding and he explains concepts really well. It is relatively easy to follow along. The test and quizzes aren't bad as long as you do the assignments then you'll do good. He doesn't check emails so don't even bother, but if you post on the discussion board he'll get back to you.

Scott explains things in the course very well, the course is organized so you know what to expect. This is definitely a tougher course and you need to put a lot of effort into learning the content.

Prof Robison is an incredible stats professor. I had him for both 213 and 217 and he made both easy to understand despite being hard classes. He really takes the time to explain concepts and doesn't expect you to do work "by hand" with the option to do it with the computer. That said, he still explains HOW it works to make sure you understand.

Class taught completely asynchronously, so you can watch the lectures whenever, as long as you make sure to keep up with the content. Lectures explain content very well, lots of examples are done, and best of all - you're not expected to do everything by hand and memorize long formulas, since Scott shows you how to do everything using the computer.

Honestly, great prof, hes a good guy, very approachable, good teacher, just really long videos for lectures, the course takes work, its hard, but doable, you can get a solid A, quality of instruction is excellent. Overall, Highly recommend

I had Prof. Robison for STAT 213 and 217. He doesn't beat around the bush and doesn't waste time. All his lectures were asynchronous making them easy to go at your own pace and fit in your schedule. I see other people complain he doesn't answer emails but he made it clear unless they're personal, they belong on the discussion board. I recommend him

honestly just a mid professor. taught what needed to be taught, nothing more nothing less. I definitely don't understand the 1 ratings tho, though he's not even close to that

He's a good professor but his tests can be a bit tough.

Scott was a pretty good professor, he taught well but sometimes taught extra stuff (code on R, different ways to do some problems) which could be helpful but was a little challenging to understand at first. He was funny which was nice because 8 am classes are miserable. His lectures along with Claudia's videos on D2L helped a ton.

Teaches mostly through examples, found this course pretty easy but there is quite a bit of homework/quizzes. Robison is engaging and explains many different strategies to find the answer

I like him sorta. The last few weeks' lectures mainly consist of how to do calculations by hand and not with the software, even though that is what we use. We could be using time more effectively, with more applicable examples. Overall though he is very kind, his online lectures are what I have been using and I find them very clear and helpful.

Posts all the lecture videos online, makeing it easy to catch up on your own time. Assignments and tests are easy. We faced many IT issues during the course, which I am sure will be resolved next semester. Although the exam was completely messed up he took it upon himself to help us make up for it. Definitely shows he cares about his students

He's a good understanding teacher, spinkles some dad jokes in lectures here n there. It's not him that is bad, it's the course that is. There's a ton of information and 99.9% of it is so complicated. There's a ton of different possibilities so you really have to give 110% in this class and make sure you understand it as much as you possibly can.

Amazing prof!

Attendance was not mandatory. He posts videos with all the units online and goes very in-depth with them. As long as you watch the videos, understand each unit, and do the webwork questions you will do fine! His midterms will have some theory questions that are a bit harder than the webwork questions but are 100% doable. The final was really easy!

They force you to buy a program but its definitely worth it, it saves you so much math calculations and formulas to handle. All exams are online, the lab quizzes are almost identical to lab exercises(unlimited tries) and grants you retries(70% of redone mark)

Scott's online videos are very helpful, I never went to any in-person lectures and was able to have a firm understanding of the material from watching the videos. WebWork may or may not have issues during exams, but Scott is very accommodating and supports the students through this. Scott is awesome.

He is helpful if you go to him for help. Go to lectures and office hours. Office hours are a good place to work and ask questions. He's fair and gives us quizzes based of questions we've already done just with different numbers. He's a good professor and is passionate on teaching. He's very patient too.

He is an incredible professor. Go to office hours, talk to him, he's incredibly helpful & passionate about statistics. Lectures include many examples so you get to see what is actually happening rather than learning hours of theory. If you want to learn & care you'll do great. I can't believe how negatively he is rated. Hard course =/= bad prof.

He is the type of prof that actually cares about his pupils, spends his office hours on the math help center and a fun guy to be around. He goes through real life implementations of stats in a way that keeps you invested. Just keep in mind to put in the work from really early on, as long as you are on the right track and keeping up you'll do fine.

Dude's pretty funny. Respectful and helpful. Attendance is not mandatory. Attend a mix of his classes and watch Claudia Mahlers videos.

Explains things thoroughly yet quickly, if you need help with a topic, he's able to explain it in different ways to help understand. Class is super easy as long as you keep up with homework and practice on your own time

Caring Prof who genuiely seems to try his best. Somtimes the lectures were a bit of a mess but we love him for it. Very entertaining and very approchable. tests were hard but fair, we were given similair questions in advance so it was very do-able if you just put some effort in.

Scott is very funny and clearly cares about his students. He gave us lots of chances to practice the material before the actual test and get feedback on our work. Though he has his quirks, overall he is a great prof and made the course a fun time.

Scott is a great prof who obviously cares about his students and wants them to succeed. Attendance isn't mandatory to have success but I'd encourage it as he teaches well and is very engaging. He makes a boring 8am class interesting.

Overall, I thought he was a good prof. He's a funny guy and is accessible outside of class. At times, he was a bit rude when students tried to ask him questions before/after class, but was super nice and informative during office hours. His handwriting is a bit messy, but both good classes with recorded videos if you miss class.

First unit is the most confusing. After that focus on the code and understand when to use it and the class is a breeze .Pre-lab videos are awesome since he explains how to solve the question which is similar to the on the lab. Write down your work/code for assignments and the ONLINE final is reused questions with different numbers from assignments.

Enjoyed Scotts' class a lot! He was very clear in class with what would be on assignments and exams and went over good examples as well. The videos on his D2L were really helpful too along with the tips in class for exams. Only talked to him during class so I'm unsure about outside of class but he seemed helpful. His lectures were engaging as well!

10/10 prof super easy work and no tests. Interactive in lectures as well as using great examples to help grasp consepts.

Great professor and amazing lectures

Seems great, class had no exams, almost everything was online and unlimited attempts. Honestly can't think of a downside.

Just attend class and avoid using homework sites to learn the material as it will just make it harder down the line. His lecture have a lot of personality to them and takes time to teach hard topics. Stay on top of assignments, labs, and activities and you are almost guaranteed to get a good mark. No exams.

funny guy.

Everything was online through Webwork. Lectures and notes covered exactly how to do the problems online with unlimited attempts, no traditional midterms or finals, just more online problems barely worth anything. Hilarious guy, and super enthusiastic even during 8 am class.

Absolutely enjoyed his lectures, especially such a dry subject. Highly recommend to anyone who struggles with math-related content.

All the assignments are online and there aren't any test in the course so it doesn't really matter what prof. you choose.

I think he's a great prof, I had him for my Stat 213 class and now for my Stat 217 class. Hilarious, caring and really know how make the lectures more interesting

He cares about comprehension, not just whether you can answer formulaic questions. If you show your work and aim to understand rather than just completing requirements, he'll recognize that and mark you accordingly. Lectures are hands-on: he demonstrates problems in class. We could replace exam marks with textbook problems - good for practice.

Scott is a great professor. His lectures helps a lot. He also takes feedback after every quiz and make changes accordingly to help everyone to learn and succeed.

I would've attended more classes because he's a good prof, I'm just not a morning person. He's quite funny and cares that you understand what he's talking about. While he teaches on paper, that doesn't detract from what you'll get from him in this heavily electronic class. Relevant examples and good notes that make outside of class homework easy.

Professor Robison made stats engaging and interesting. He took the time to explain concepts and how to do problems by hand even though the course focused on how to use R. While all the marks come from online assignments, they are structured in a way that you have to learn the material. Overall, great course and amazing prof.

Gives lots of opportunity to increase grades, especially if you have test anxiety

The midterm was tough, but since 50% of the class is online assessments, passing and getting a solid grade isn't that difficult. The final was fairly easy; some high school finals were more difficult. Scott is a chill guy.

I will admit, the midterm and final were horrendous. Granted, he is still a good professor who ended up curving the midterm 35% after students reached out. He understands that this is a difficult course. There are many online assignments to build your grade up!

Easy class. It is very chill.
