Everyday in statistics we would have a pop quiz on what we learned from the previous class. Usually only two or three questions long, they were all open notes. Pay attention and take notes, it will be an easy A. The final is weighted heavy (equals 40% of your final grade) Easy going dude though, would def take a class with him again.

Wouldn't take again

Does. not. teach. I have no idea what is going on when he teaches it's almost so pointless to go to his class. I really do try to do the work and understand but he just says to use symbolab to get the answers and doesn't tell us how to actually do it. If you can get another professor then please do it. Also when you reach out for help he is v rude.
