Hard, unclear, makes you buy his book and it's really expensive, moneyball quizzes are easy, text quizzes are usually open notes/book + work with partner, but whole final project is long, dreadful and pointless. Very tough class if you were in low math beforehand. Must know Excel very well too. Makes you stay to last second of every class. Beware.

Very nice man, but his lectures are all over the place and quizzes every class are based on HIS version of teaching so you cant even look to the book for help. Tutors didnt know how to help either. Wouldnt take again.

Honestly, one of the worst professors I've had at QU, he's all over the place I always left the class confused. If you can choose another prof.

I have had some bad teacher in my life but nothing compares to Stanley Rothman. He does not care about his students and yells at you if you make a mistake in front of the class. He can't really teach at all and doesn't take attendance. Quizzes every class but they're open note. He wrote the textbook himself so there are no outside sources to help.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Rothman is a bitter old man who doesnt care. Probably the worst class I have ever taken at QU. He wrote the textbook himself so good luck finding outside sources to help you complete work. He gave probably over 100 handouts that meant nothing to me. There are quizzes every class based on the homework, so get ready to work.

Don't take him. He's really hard to talk to in class and makes bizarre policies that are really difficult to follow and he tends to not convey his rules well. He also teaches in a way that makes you feel stupid. Gives way too many handouts and they rarely help. Even worse online.

Please don't bother to take him. His virtual teaching was horrid. No powerpoints, no practice activities, just reading the textbook aimlessly. Super confusing, all over the place, had about 100 handouts, and was super rude if there were computer issues. The only way I passed was from peer tutor. He made everything so much harder than it had to be.

Do not take this to fill your math requirement. Unless you are a COMPLETE math genius who never got anything below a 98 in high school. The class is based on the math/statistics behind baseball. If you come into this class loving baseball there is a good chance by the end of the semester you won't even be able to watch a baseball game.

Awful. Trust me. BORING class-doesn't talk about anything and you won't understand his teaching. DO. NOT. TAKE. THIS. CLASS.

Rothman is about 80 years old so he is a very old-fashioned style professor. He loves his lectures and hates students who do not try. So if you are planning to take one of his classes just for credit, I beg of you, DON'T.

He is the worst professor that I have ever had. His lectures are boring and they never taught me a single thing about biostatistics. You can't make up a quiz you miss because "in the real world you do not get to make up a day of work". He will teach you nothing, assign 10 hours worth of hw, and then give you quizzes for three classes in a row.

Do not take this professor unless you are very good at statistics. Professor honestly made the class unbearable. Lecture style put me to sleep and at any random moments he just starts yelling at us and then follows it by "I'm not yelling at you guys". Refuses to recognize when he makes a mistake so good luck trying to reason with him.

Not a big fan of Professor Rothman, he would yell at us in class. He would also accuse us of not doing homework. His hand written sheets looked like a 5 year old wrote them. It was difficult to follow along in his class. He would stop the class and tell a story from many years of ago, almost like a flash back to a sad story.

Don't take him, he is 80 years old and forgets what he says. He uses a group buddy system which is so stupid. When your group doesn't do anything and your forced to work by yourself its extremely difficult. Do everything in your power to avoid this professor

Avoid taking this professor! Lectures are very confusing and not good if you are a visual learner. He gives multiple papers every class and just reads through them, doesn't do any problems out. He constantly yells at the class and slams his desk when people don't understand by saying things like "it's really not that hard", "you should know this".

His teaching style is very disorganized and he just reads and gives out many handouts that he wrote himself so they are confusing to read and understand. Utilized a buddy system to complete problems prior to the quiz. A lot of homework and quizzes occurred 1-2 times a week, but if you do well all year you dont have to take the final.

I did not learn a single thing with this man. his lectures make no sense and you have to completely teach yourself everything. he also goes off on random tangents that have nothing to do with math. save yourself the aggravation and pick a different prof.

WHATEVER U DO, DON'T TAKE BASEBALL STATS WITH THIS MAN! He is very disorganized, gives out endless handouts, and expects you to work with his "buddy groups" he puts together which is so outdated. He gets angry about the smallest mistakes ever too. (For example, mistaking a player's name for another on a quiz). Good luck reasoning with him as well.

he sucks avoid him at all costs

Take anyone else

Professor Rothman is a nice guy but do not take him if you want to have a solid understanding of the course. My friends and I taught ourselves EVERYTHING past the midterm. The only helpful resource was his peer fellow who hosted meetings the night before the quizzes. Quizzes are open note but only helpful if u understand/did the homework.

Prof. Rothman is sweet. However, lectures are very challenging to follow. He gives stacks of papers every class that are hand written & difficult to read. You have to teach yourself. He gives you potential quiz problems ahead of time but does not teach the subjects well. Our only grades are quizzes (at least one a week) and the midterm and final.

Professor Rothman is senile and jaded, frequently going on strange tangents about his personal life. He struggles with technology and gives open-note quizzes almost every class, but grades weren't published until the class before the midterm. He unfairly claims students don't work hard when grades proved otherwise. Overall an unpleasant experience.

His lectures are him reading every word of a packet and he gives a million different papers. Open note assessments but no partial credit for math work. Spends time complaining about those absent and that nobody tries to do well. If you want to do well you will have to teach yourself everything. Overall, don't take his class if you can avoid it.

Whatever you do try to avoid this professor at all costs! This professor handed out so many packets for each class which made it really confusing to find what we were learning. He did not teach at all. You are basically teaching yourself. All he did was read from the packets and rarely drew on the board. He also ranted about off topic things.

He has quizzes very often and if you do not show up on the quiz day, its a 0. No matter if you have a doctor's note or not. Other than that, attendance is not mandatory. His quizzes are open notes, but he changes the instructions that the textbook will give you when you do the quiz problems for homework before. Do not recommend at all.

he really cares about the material but does not teach it well. your grades are based on your quizzes which are based on your homework, so if your homework is wrong your gonna do bad on the quizzes. he genuinely just speaks at you during class and you can't follow his packets. because of this you don't really learn anything.
