He is alright.

I really enjoyed this class. Dr. Miles was the best instructor I had this semester. He is enthusiastic, easy going, and always very helpful. One could see that he was really trying to do a good job.

He's Amazing. The Department needs more professors, passionate towards the subject they teach, like him. The person with the negative comment -> what is your problem?? - how many lectures did you attend???

That was a useful course.

I liked his teaching style. Everyone else I know (in that course) liked his teaching style.

Very helpful. Classes go by quickly.

I like! :)

I think he makes an effort. Good stuff.

He needs to be Tougher!! Otherwise I am ok with this course. Fair midterm and marking style.

he is not the best teacher but a realy good guy is always trying to help to make shure that you understand everything overall a good teacher

I agree with the comment that it would be better if he were tougher. The math in that course wasn't Too bad. Things got more straight forward towards the end of the course.

That class wasn't bad. I disagree with the last comment - I remember that most of the questions on the midterms and the final in that course were covered during the lectures.

I am surprised noone mentioned that he scheduled office hours on the weekends before both of the midterms. That was kinda cool.

EASY PROF!!! midterms are hw questions and topics covered in lectures. he tells you what is and is not on the midterm. made stat a GPA booster for me...TAKE HIM IF YOU WANT TO DO GOOD. very calm, shy guy

HE IS THE BEST PROF @ TRU... EXPLAINS THINGS CLEARLY... MIDTERMS ARE VERY EASY AND EXACTLY SAME AS IN THE NOTES/TEXTBOOKS... A VERY RECOMMENDED PROF FOR STATS! +++++

I don't know why some people had problems. I could follow everything even when I had a hang over from hell. ;) If you go to class and take good notes (and then study them) you will do fine on the tests. Overall, he is good.

I don't have a problem with him at all. Which is unusual.

Clear to the core, extremely helpful and good natured. Gem of a person. There you have it.

I lament there is no 6 for easiness because Stan would get it. Just go to class, take some notes, study for tests using notes, do review questions (he provides), and expect and A+. Stan is also very nice person who is very helpful. People make fun of the guy too much. Yea, I agree he is weird but he is a good instuctior and a good person, so show some respect people.

Very clear, multiple examples. Very good at explaining concepts. Keen on helping people learn. Very helpful. A big dork, but a very kind caring person, a great guy. Organized classes, clear on what is expected with respect to tests. Too easy though, should be a bit thougher. Moves through material slowly at times it seems. Stan is the man.

Showed up to maybe five lectures all semester and got an A+. When I did attend his lectures he was very clear explaining everything and would always make sure the class understood before moving on. I would recommend for sure.

Don't listen to the lone negative comment. This instructor's lectures are interesting, and the grading is fair. I wish all of my classes this term were like his class.

Stan is the Man

Stan is an amazing teacher. He is extremely helpful and makes himself available to all of the students. DEFINITELY go to his office hours if you have any problems. He makes statistics doable and comprehensible (not an easy task). TAKE HIS CLASS!!!

As everyone has said, Stan is the man! Anything that you don't understand in his lectures he makes clear in a split second in his office hours. TONS of review for exams and he puts up practice midterms etc. which is EXTREMELY helpful. You've got practice problems from the textbook, EVERYTHING! DEFINITELY take his class!

Stan is and will continue to be the man. Nuff said.

Awesome prof! Very helpful and approachable, can't say that it's an easy course with him, but he tries to put as much knowledge into his students as he can. His intellectual level is over the roof, so take this class with him if you really want to learn the most from this course.

GREAT GREAT GREAT! Assignments were easy, midterms were fair, as was the final. Genuinely cares about his students and if there is ANYTHING you don't understand it can be cleared up in 10 minutes during his office hours. Posts extra office hours during exams and really wants his students to do well. Classes were GREAT!!!

Stan, AKA the Man, Has got to be one of the sweetest guys on the planet. He is one of those teachers that give you a true life benefit out of attending. As far as his teaching goes, he is excellent at explaining things and makes it his mission to help you. I honestly feel sorry for the saps that miss out on having this high quality of a professor.

GREAT GREAT GREAT! FELL IN LOVE WITH STATS! THANKS, STAN! YOU'RE THE MAN!

Good explanations. But he often assumes that his students are super familiar with statistics.

Stan is a stats superhero. Take his courses, you'll never regret!

6/6 bretty good guy. I like the way he teaches.

Stan, or as I like to call him, Mr. Burns, is awesome! (Doesn't look like Burns, but his demeanor is close!) What a great prof. He truly wants you to do well. Do all of the homework, come to class and learn the examples and you will do well. It's not difficult material to grasp. Two midterms and a final.

Stan is awesome, very helpful,he provides past midterms and finals to study from. He also has an answer key for the problems from the book if you do these the exams will be easy for you.

Stans the man. I didn't like the course material and found it challenging, but I don't think you could find a better teacher. If you go to him for help he's such a cool and funny guy. His tests are fair which is a nice refresh from some of the teachers at TRU and he provides lots of practise questions with examples. Great!

Hi guyz,words are too small to describe his exceptional ability to make most of the difficult concepts easy.Always motivates and if u need any help,he is easily available.His assignments are very easy and he gives information about the topics that will be important in the exam.Not many teacher do that.Excellent teacher.Easily one of the best at TRU

His priority are his students as he is Always willing to help. He certainly goes above and beyond his duties as an instructor. The material in this course is not easy, but if you are not able to get a B in his class, well you should just drop out now. If he were to teach underwater basket weaving I would want to take that class too!

Excellent at explaining statistics. Uses very few powerpoints (available but not used) and focuses on explaining the concepts in everyday scenarios and lot's of practice and work troughs on the board which really teaches how to solve the problems. Highly recommend.

Great prof. I took macroeconomics with him and did really well. In both midterms he gave extra marks to class because the average was unbelievably no, because no ever attended class. However he was super eager to help people and had a ton of office hours. Study the practice questions he posts because those are whats on the exam.

Clear, concise, exams are almost identical to practice.

Stan is a wonderful human being. I'm so glad I was able to have a class with such a nice Professor. He definitely wants his students to succeed and understand the material.

very caring prof. always available to ask questions and does his best to clear up questions in class. created extra office hours near finals for students, only con is his accent, he sometimes misunderstands what the question is or has a hard time explaining it.

Got an A+ with him. Easy to pass if you study and practice questions that he posted and take notes in the class.

Stan Miles is an amazing human being and even better Professor. You can skip reading from here on if you want to. Very approachable, flexible and gives you the opportunity to score more with bonus questions. I wish he still taught Stats courses too.

The lectures are clear, the exams are straightforward. He is kind and caring. If you study, you will do better than you had expected. I've never seen him being "lost". It appears that one or two people are posting multiple negative ratings. Scroll down for more accurate ratings.

Stan Miles is one of the best instructors I've had at TRU. The person below got a bad grade in 1950 and thinks that he can evaluate the knowledge of someone with a Ph.D. in economics. He is lying about having to read a lot. Being graded by quizzes, assignments, midterms and final is NOT being graded by a few things!

He is the best professor for Statistics. Highly recommend him.

What an amazing instructor! All of his lectures were crystal clear. The midterms and the final exam were similar to the examples from class and the assignments. He is very helpful during his office hours. Every time I asked him questions over email, I got a detailed explanation within minutes. Outstanding.

Stan is a super awesome teacher. Makes extra office hours around exams. Puts up lots practice questions and practice exams. Do those and you will pass the tests. Very straight forward tests. Super nice and will answer any questions and never make you feel stupid. Genuinely wants you to pass. Would take him again.

Interesting lectures (many amazing examples that aren't from the textbook). You can tell that he cares about how well we do. It's an easy A or B if you study. If you don't study, it's an easy F.

A true gem of a professor.

He rocks. Interesting lectures. Always willing to help students. Extremely accessible. More than once, he did not mind helping me online after midnight. You can tell that he cares about your understanding of the material and will help you get there.

Really good professor. I think the best for Statistics. You just need to study hard and do not miss homework.

If you study it's easy to do extremely well in his classes. Apparently (see the comment below) if you don't study it's easy to fail. I've had a great experience with him. Whenever I asked for help his responses were detailed and actually helpful. Clear and interesting lectures. As good as it gets.

Stan is easily one of my favourite teachers in the SOBE at TRU. He is very helpful with students and has no problem helping outside of class. He is always available on email and will send you detailed answers to solutions. He teaches a lot in one lecture so attendance will be important always. Tests are similar to the in-class/homework questions.

Of all of the professors I've had at TRU, Stan Miles is my favorite. He is an outstanding teacher: organized and clear lectures, plenty of practice questions, and fair and straightforward exams. He is great if you ask for help during his office hours and also responds to emails right away. As good as it gets.

He is an easy professor. Very nice person and always available for questions. He is trying hard to help his student to understand the concept. The exams are straight forward, if you study hard enough, you can do it. Professor is not the reason for your bad grade!!! :))))

Really good person and incredibly smart Prof. He tries his best to make sure his students succeed. The course material is challenging but if you focus on understanding you'll do well.

Professor Miles knows his stuff, but his teaching style can be hit or miss. To do well, you'll need to study hard and utilize all resources, including the free textbook and tools like unstuck ai. Attendance is mandatory, so engage in class for the best chance of success.

Best prof I've had at TRU. Loved being in his class. Clear, helpful, and organized. Gives lots of info about exams, so studying feels worth it. Fast email replies with detailed answers. Great in office hours. Grades are always out within two days, even for the final. Truly outstanding.His performance is incredible, no matter what criteria you use.

Amazing professor-does tend to be a little disorganized,but if you focus theres a lot of interesting material to learn.He uses relevant examples and will happily elaborate on concepts youre not clear in. Puts his students first and always available to help you out outside class.He will provide you with ample practice to excel in the course.

Enjoyable class, fond memories. Stan's lectures are clear, his expectations are reasonable, and he is kind.
