The best prof at U of R to date. He is almost perfect!
Makes the work clear and easy to learn. Very nice guy.
His class was so much fun. He is so funny and a really good teacher. HOT!!
Such a great teacher not to mention cute as well hehe.
super guy super prof - made stats fun!
Nice guy and very funny. Class not too tough.
Very helpful and clear. Does lots of good examples. What a BABE!!!
best teacher at U of R and the hottest
Everyone says McKnight is the best stats teacher. Never had her, but I seriously doubt it.
This guy is hot stuff! Hubba hubba!

Very helpful, very energetic. His examples don't mirror the assignments well. Fair tests, though, and they are based on the notes.
Likely the best math prof I've had yet.
Soooo great! If you ever get the opportunity to take one of his classes, DO IT!
wow, has the u of r managed to keep this guy around? usually if someone is this good he's gone somewhere and fast! all i can say is easily the best prof at the university, makes tough material seem like child's play, hope you stick around for a long t
kept me interested(and awake) during aan 8:30 class. VERY excited about stats. Learning made easy. Please keep this prof around!!!
He knows what he is talking about, and he explains things in different ways, to make sure everybody knows whats going on. By far the best math prof. I ever had!!
Amazing teacher. Lots of energy :P The best math teacher that the U of R has!
Words dont describe how awesome he is.
Although I prolly wont have a good mark (tough subject), I'm pleased I took this course with Fallat. Very enthusiastic about his teaching. Explains things in a clear way with lots of good examples/analogies. Its fun to watch him run around the class.
Awesome prof...very energetic- TAKE HIS CLASS (if you have to take MATH 122)
Excellent math prof, can really dumb things down for you. Marks fairly and makes math as easy as it can be. Definitly recommended!!!
I don't like this course but he's pretty cool. course was easy too.
Awesome class! Awesome guy! Awesome teaching! I loved the material and how he taught it. I have never enjoyed any subject throughout my life as much as Math 122. I think a lot of it is because of Fallat!

Excellent class notes, lectures are concise and relevant. Makes complicated lessons seem obvious. A superior instructor in ever way. Animated, funny, develops an instant rapor w/ students. Should be your first choice when selecting your math courses.
amazing
Personally I think he's absolutely terrible for Stats.. just garbage. Way too many notes for a Math class. If you're planning on taking Stats b/c you heard it was an easy class, do NOT take it from him.
Definatly one of the most enjoyable classes that I have. His notes although long, are very comprehensive so when you're studying for tests or doing assignments, you won't be left out in the dark. Explains things extremely well. Highly recommended.
awsome prof, funny guy, real comprehensive..hard class but take it from him, hes great.
Excellent Prof!!
Although this is a very hard class, Fallat made it easy to understand. The midterms and final were fairly hard, but if you did all of the extra assigned work questions were somewhat similar
Was not excited to take this class, but it turned out to be my best mark largely in part to having Fallat. Lots of examples which help you along, also the stuff he teaches is consistent with whats on assignments and on the midterm. Gives you the opportunity to succeed in the class
Awsome prof!!! Who knew stats could be enjoyable? Relates statistics to the real world. He's very consistent with questions from assignments onto exams. If you want to take stats 151, take it from Fallat.
CLEAR concepts and makes class fun..you will laugh in his class
Great prof, the best that I've had yet. He makes sure that people understand before he moves on. He gives tons of examples and his assignments relate to his tests. He also give you exercises to work on if you want to, which really helps keep you up to date. DEFINATELY take a class from him!!!
Fallat is a great guy. Always upbeat and energetic, definantely a good class to have at 8:30! His notes are thorough and he includes lots of examples. Always stops to make sure nobody is lost. Assignments were fair and prepared you for the midterms. Overall a great prof and nice guy.
Best teacher/prof I have ever had. He's funny, makes class interesting, explains everything super well, and prepares you extremely well for the final. Also very accomodating and personable. Great guy all around.
Great teacher. Explains everything clearly so everyone understands, and also makes the class very interesting. Gives great examples that prepare you for the midterm and the final. If you have to take Stats take it from him.
Incredible prof! I am just absolutely in love with him. So helpful! So easy to comprehend! My two highest marks have been in his class. If you get the chance - choose Fallat as your prof! You definitely won*t be disappointed in what you get out of it (knowledge and a great mark)!
Pay attention and show up in class and you'll do fine. This prof took a dull and boring class like statistics and forged it into something I want to major in...if of course it didn't mean that I had to take a statistics course from a prof other than fallat. Best prof I've had yet.
for everyone out there taking math take it with Fallat and when you talk to him tell him Cal says hi
hes awesome..makes stats easy to understand and explains in detail..you dont get a formula sheet for his midterms, but you can eliminate the midterms if you dont like your marks and make the final worth 85%, great teacher..his jokes are funny.....sometimes.heh.
GREAT GUY!! This man is halarious... do not take this class from anyone but him or u'll be missing out! He gives great notes...hes a perfectionist so everything is super organized and very well put together. U of R is lucky to have him
I WISH HE COULD TEACH ME MATH, STATS, ENGLISH, FRENCH, BIO, CHEM ... EVERYTHING! HE MAKES HARD-TO-UNDERSTAND SEEM LIKE LEARNING YOUR ABC'S! LOVED HIS SENSE OF HUMOR AND IS ALWAYS IN HIS OFFICE IF YOU NEED HIM!!
One of the best profs out there! He was great and knew how to teach the material in a clear manner. Tests had no surprises, but you need to know the material. Would definitly recommend to everyone He made stats a breeze!
Shaun is amazing. He is an easy marker and will always be lenient if it means the student will get a higher mark. He's fun and funny and loves class participation. U of R could use more profs like him.
Go to class because all of the examples he shows in class are exactly the same on his exams. He also made class fun and interesting and he is extremely funny. It was one of my fave classes!
Shaun is an amazing prof. He is crystal clear and SUPER Organized. Must attend class as notes are not online. He goes through many examples and his exams are basically the same as on assignments or ones he does in class. Overall take this class from him. HE is AMAZING> and nice to look at.
Shaun was really awesome, he knew what he is talking about and makes sure everyone does too. He gives you exercises out of the textbook, you dont have to do them but they really help when it comes to tests and assignments. The midterms and assingments weren't hard. I would recommend Shaun to anyone who doesnt like math or isnt good at it.
WOW. I loved this class. Fallat made everything so interesting and completely clear. He is very nice to look at too... Very compasionate marker, gives points for almost ful points done right, even if answer is wrong. Really Enjoyed his class. Made me love math even more!
Fantastic prof, this was my second time taking stats and with Shaun everything was explained and comprehensible! I highly reccomend him! Funny guy too!
How does this guy have a good rating? He's arrogant, unhelpful, and he doesn't make time to see any of his students unless its for a 5 minute office appointment. One of the worst profs I've ever had at the uofr, avoid!
I think Shaun is a great prof but that could just be because Stats comes easy to me. It's true though that he doesn't take a lot of time to give extra help and he always seems like he's in a rush. But his notes are crystal clear and super organized and he's always joking around and having fun. I would recommend him to anyone taking Stats.
WOW! One of my favorite profs by far! I hate anything to do with math and stats and Shaun made this class fun. He's a goofy, young prof and knows how to connect with students. He also knows his stuff so any questions you may have will be made crystal clear!
Excellent prof! Gives the best notes of what you need to know and is extremely clear. Switches the weight of midterms and finals so that you get best possible grade. His midterms are easy, if you just study the assignments. Cheat sheets are allowed. About 7 or 8 assignments that are fairly easy if you have a friend. Good, easy class! He is awesome!
Entertaining as heck. Stats is incredibly boring, he cant do much about it though. Doing many practise exercises is key to success in his class. Easy high 90 if you study and attend class. Ask for help!Very open to helping you understand the material and wants his students to succeed."Cheat sheets" I loved, except wont really help in the real world

This man is one of my favorite proffs. Engages class, and wicked sense of humour. He does criticize students who answer questions incorrectly during lecture, but in a playful way that encourges you to see the fault in your own answer. Definately can't wait to take another class with him.
I loved this man! He is funny and makes concepts so easy to understand. His midterms and homework are not too hard and easy if you do the practice problems he assigns. Take a class with him. Id definitely take another if i could!
Willing to help.
guy is hilarious n super fun.honey, if ur sleepin in his class, ur sick..makes math incredibly interesting and fun.would definitely recommend him..lookin forward to takin any oda mth class wf him again.do ur practise prblems and ur midterms and exams are covered.definitely the best prof.btw, he recved an award in mth dept for xcellent teachn skills
Shaun is just an awesome professor. he makes math very interesting and has a great sense of humor. i'll recommend him to anyone.
Makes learning fun! Very clear, easy to understand. Very animated. Willing to help out of class. Very approachable. My favourite math teacher by far.
Really enjoying the class. I came in worrying needing a pretty good mark. But Sean gives vary good notes to learn off. With a little bit of homework doing the practice questions anyone can do well. The mid term questions are very far to what is being taught in class some are off the assignments I enjoy his humour in class as well. Very approachable
awesome guy, takes challenges thats why he asks student if there's any questions regarding the section he just did. fun class
This guy is terrible. He goes so fast in class and just spends time teaching students about theories and proofs, his notes are totally different than the assignments and his exams are totally different from both the notes and assignments. I thought he was going to be good, but he made linear algebra so complicating by not teaching a single thing!!!
I can't even express how much I love this man. His classes were interesting and hilarious all the time. If you do the recommended problems the material is really straight forward. Exams were easy if you studied for them. 100% recommend him to anyone!
Easy, nice, funny at times. BUT, as soon as he gets confused or someone points at a mistake on the board he starts a chain of mistakes and the class is basically over because he stops making sense
Now see! this are the things you need to do. first go to class, copy all his notes, study hard, do the assignments and understand them well and lastly think outside the gap because he sets some conceptual questions on his tests. if you can do all this, you will be 100% fine in his class. grab him fast.
This guy is not a good professor, especially for first year students. He would not spend much time on examples, and mostly just talk about theories and proofs. The lectures were the biggest waste of time ever! None of the material taught in class had anything to do with the assignments, on top of that the exams had nothing to do with the assignment
He is a fantastic professor. Takes his time to answer questions and explain things in as many ways as possible until it is clear. Math 122 is a hard class and mostly proof and theorem based and he makes sure to explain all of these carefully. Attending this class is important because things he says WILL be on the exams
He focuses on proofing and theories but explains things very well. he will prepare you well for later statistics courses. He is also a funny guy but his tests won't be easy.
He's one of the best professors I have had. He is friendly and is always ready to help you. He can make fun of himself and the class and lectures are always entertaining. The tests are fair and if you learn the material, you will get a good mark.
Awesome!!
One of the best prof ever! He is always there for you! He would teach you even after class if you contact him! Would highly recommend this prof!!
Best prof ever ever ever
One of the best Math Professors you could get at the university. He breaks down very complicated calculus 2 concepts and makes them easy to understand. He does the perfect amount of theory and then example.
Great prof, tests are hard if you only study his notes. Make sure you practice questions from the text book.
Makes hard exams and quizzes. Only take him if you have don't have any other option.
He makes the hardest exam possible and same goes for quizzes which are only 20 minutes long. very hard to understand and notes are easy to follow however.
hard exams and hard to understand him. Class avg for second midterm was 45%.
Great prof! He is the best math teacher ever! I would definitely take him again.
You will get a good mark if you study and attend his lectures.
This was my second time taking Math111 and Fallat made everything so much easier. If you have the opportunity to take one of his courses, take it.
I really enjoyed this class. He was always ready and able to help outside of class if you weren't sure about an assignment or even just a small question. His lectures really helped with the material and were exciting. I would recommend buying the textbook. It helps if you want to try extra questions or for examples.
Shaun is the most genuine & brilliant guy. Gives lots of examples that are similar to assignments (5 total) and midterms (2). Crucial that you attend class and write down everything since the course covers a lot, but he explains it so it makes sense. Responds to emails super fast & always willing to help. Do the practice finals & STUDY!
Shaun is awesome! Lectures were entertaining even though it was math, quizzes/tests arent super diffult as long as youre prepared. Rating: 9/10
Great professor in terms of teaching but tests and quizzes are insanely hard. I would recommend taking his class if you intend to pursue further math but not if you only need one class like for Business.
Would rather get kicked in the nuts once a day for the next decade than take this class again.
Shaun is a pretty brilliant guy. You can clearly see he wants his students to succeed, and he has a passion for teaching. His lectures are heaving and quite a bit of material is covered in Stat 160, but he is always more than willing to help students who have questions. Lecture and assigned material/practice questions are great practice for exams.
Best prof I ever had in my Math Majors. All you have to learn is the basic concept he taught in class and you can easily pass the course with him.
