He is the easiest, and his class is so much fun. If Stats isn't your world, he will make it fun and understandable.
Professor Roll used humor and real world examples to make this class easy to ace. I wish all my required classes took this little effort. I definitely recommend his class if you're not into learning a lot about math. Plus, he never takes attendance and he dismisses class early a lot. Awesome.
If you're looking to not learn anything, never have to take a test or even show up to class, and if you're willing to waste your money, this class is for you! We never had one quiz or exam and though the summer class was supposed to be 4 hours, each class never went beyond an hour and a half. Glad I got an easy A but still disappointed...
Easy class, he makes it enjoyable. Explains everything very well, hands out powerpoint slides at the beginning of each class which he goes over. Stats is pretty much common sense, I have learned a lot though.
Awesome professor I highly recommennd him!! Take his Class. Very smart and fun
He explains all subject matter until everyone in the class understands it, which means he goes at a very slow pace and is very repetitive. Very easy, nice guy, wants everyone to succeed. Just show up, and you get an A
I would 100% take another class with this teacher. So nice and so good looking. He's very smart but he's so easy as a teacher!
He was great, it's def an intro to stats class, Easy to get an A if you practice practice. He's all about repetition and that's what makes us learn. Pretty funny dude and down-to-earth.
Great guy and professor. I enjoyed his class and found it very interesting. You can learn a lot in this class if you just pay attention and do the work.
Cool dude, definitely take Stats with him. As long as you do the work you should be set. He moves a little quickly through some work so pay attention if you don't understand something.
VERY PROFESSIONAL. CARING INSTRUCTOR WILL MAKE SURE HE REPEATS CONTENT UNTIL YOU MASTER IT. MAKES THE SUBJECT LIKEABLE . IF YOU HATE MATH YOU WILL LEAVE HIS CLASS WITH THE PASSION FOR IT.
THE PROF,is very caring annd have time for students when needed.also he answers questions and tech in a way that student will understand
Very good teacher!
Real world examples. Plus hotness. Very funny.
he is the best professor . if you want A grade go to his class. i wish i would take some more classes with him. i got 100100 in all exams and quizzes. he make statistic easy and interesting for the whole class.
Great professor. Totally knows what he is teaching. If you are terrible at math he is your guy.
Nice teacher, easy class. But wish could learn more from the class.
He does a great job making statistics easy to understand.
Nice teacher!!! easy to learn!!! he is pro!!!!
excellent instructor wish I could take a lot more classes with him he is just amazing.
The most amazing class ever.. I learned a lot
He is great at teaching. Before quiz he reviews just to make sure you understand.
best teacher at massbay,he makes statistics fun and easy to understand...
The best statistics professor. Makes it easy to understand math in a layman's language. Very interesting, reviews all the assignments in class. He does not move to the next topic unless everyone is on the same page. I would take his class again.
Great teacher without any pressure. Very clear.
Great professor! gives lots of examples and makes the class interesting and fun.
Hes a great professor i like that he gives you exams so that you know where yo u are and what you need to learn. Unlike other teachers that give you exams and don't bother reviewing the material. He goes over everything in class repeatedly so you won't forget it.
Educated professor, he know the material in and out. I would take him again, he makes sure you understand all concepts. I enjoy his class.
Was scared to take thus course as i am bad with math, and he made it acessible, manageable, plus easy to understand. Great sense of humor, and really relieved my anxiety about big, ugly, Statistics. Would take again.
The professor basically directs you on the exact way to approach numbers. Follows up to see you get it. Provides correction where need be. This is very helpful in development.
HE IS GREAT PROFESSOR!
Professor Roll is the best numbers professor I've ever had, very helpful, explains everything thoroughly, makes the class room environment friendly not stressful, plays music before class while student are walking in. me personally helped me out . don't miss a class its worth it, I need this class to graduate and he readily signed me in. Ty Prof
The greatest Stats professor! If you need to take it and is afraid things are gonna get ugly, just do yourself a favor and it take with him! He will explain things really well in a way that you will understand, trust me. He is funny and makes his students comfortable. Thanks professor for making our semester less miserable! :)
I love this classs beccause he is a great professor I wish he teach other classes
He is extremely helpful and reviews all homework and practice problems. He makes class fun and often jokes. I really enjoyed the class and his teaching style.
I love his class. He is a great teacher: funny, teach MA 105 very well and I would definitely take has class again.
I appreciate the time he takes to go over the notes from the previous lecture, making it very useful. He uses live examples and makes sure his explanations are easy to understand. He makes class fun and easy to understand. I look forward to my next class unlike before when i dreaded Math classes. Thank you for making math fun for me
Great Professor! He doesn't make you purchase textbooks, instead he has power-points planned and printed out for you at the beginning of each class. He is great at explaining things, and when he goes over problems, he does them out completely for you to see. I would definitely take him again. All you have to do is go to class to understand.
love this class, good professor
Professor Roll is a master of his craft. As an MIT graduate he could make this class very difficult. Yet considering this is a night class he understands most students are also working full time, possibly with a family to support. The material is very approachable, and in the end I have a learned a lot. Great sense of humor as well. Boo Savant!!!!!
i like the way he teaches, He is there for the students and always asks us to give him feedback if he is too fast or too slow. I like this class so far.
Gives excellent lectures; keeps the class interested by using real examples to describe concepts. Provides weekly materials to the class instead of requiring the purchase of a textbook. Is able to present complicated subject matter in such a way that it is interesting and easier to understand. Highly recommended.
I think he's a great guy, he has an excellent sense of humor, and I would most definitely take his course again.
I love this class!! Professor Stephen Roll makes this class easy to understand, even if you have been out of school quite a while like me. His presentations are very well prepared, and gives samples of real life to better understand the subject, very hilarious!
He is the best Math Professor I have ever taken. He is so good at explaining, answers questions calmly and with patience. His lectures are definitely the best.
Would definitely take him again, he's awesome I highly recommend taking him for stats. He goes really fast but makes everything easy to understand, also he wont mind explaining everything over and over if needed. Best professor at MassBay for sure.
Thank you for teaching this way. Easy-going class with a super fair grading system.
Professor Roll is the best professor I have had in my entire 2 1/2 years of college! Great great class!!
Great professor !
Instead of using a textbook, he makes and gives out handouts that are really helpful. They're clear, precise, easy to understand. Good atmosphere and relates class to real life.
Absolutely best professor ever!!!!!!
Breaks down statistics so its easy to understand. Much better than the previous two class of statistics that I took and could not understand. Relates material to real world scenarios so you understand the data. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to take Statistics.
Had Professor Roll this semester, he is very knowledgeable, will explain if you do not understand. As long as you follow along and do the hw you will pass.
Great professor, truly cares about the subject he teaches. Very personable. Knows his audience. Encourages media and electronic use. Very intelligent. So glad I took stats from him.
Amazing professor I ever had. super cool.
He is great professor, with great humor.
Great teacher. You will learn a lot from him. Funny. Makes you understand without burning you out.
The class is very easy, with good, easy understandable example and problems, though many of them are outdated. No extra material required. The attendance is not checked, if you skip a quizz you get to take it on the next class. If math is NOT your major, I do recommend this professor.
He's very clear and direct. Explains things well. Provides good examples. Goes through plenty of example problems.
Loving the class. Incredibly instructive while being extremely efficient. I enjoy my time in the class and learn without undue stress. It's a blast!
My favorite class this semester. Professor Roll goes through the class material in detail but slow enough that it is easily understood. Not much homework which really helps ease the workload from other classes. I would definitely choose him again.
Very good teacher
A great Professor. Easy to understand and material on-line accessible. Grading is fair. Has an exceptional ability to make math interesting.
Professor, Stephen Roll Is a great teacher and knows how to explain math 105 very well in a simple way to understand. He is also a funny teacher who makes math be enjoyable. I would highly recommend anyone to take this class.
Very good teacher. Keeps the class entertained and makes it easy to follow along. Highly recommend anyone to join.
Professor Roll is a really funny professor he makes the class pass by fast by making some pretty funny jokes
Professor Roll is a really funny person he makes joke about everything to make the class fun!!
Best Professor!! So funny in class and make us learn in class itself.
you will not regret taking his class. Trust me
Simple and straightforward explanations.
Overall good
He talks a lot about the handouts he gives us on my first day I fell asleep and woke up repeating that through the entire class because I was bored and didn't get enough sleep.
He respects peoples opinion on things and he stays after to explain or help anyone.
Professor Roll, is the best professor I've ever had.
His class is chill.
Professor Stephen Roll is precise, clear, and very helpful. He takes time before and after class in case students have questions. There are a lot of statistics examples for students to practice. He always reviews the previous class topics and home works, therefore, allowing students the opportunity to ask questions. He responds to emails and text m
Professor Roll keeps things interesting with relative real world scenarios involving statistics and a great sense of humor. He keeps things moving at a good pace but offers explanations if there is something you are missing. Class is enjoyable and he makes himself available if help is needed. I highly reccommend this course with Professor Roll.
Professor Roll is great. He makes a very stressful subject for some very manageable. He is easy to approach and his powerpoints are great for references any questions I have. I wished he taught all subjects.
Professor Roll is very straight fordward, his lectures are very understandable and fun. He provides a lot of help outside of the classroom, he makes sure every single person knows and understands the material, and he is wicked Funny you won't get bored!
Fun classes with videos. Professor Roll explain really well and gives opportunities after each class for questions or extra help. He is a gem. Would take this vlass again.
Great class. Would absolutely recommend and take again. Easy overall but I certainly learned the material as well. Cannot recommend enough.
Would definitely recommend this class again. The professor is very straight forward, answers any questions and is available for before/after class (except for now cause of coronavirus in class cancellation, but answers emails fairly quickly)
This is a pretty cool guy, laid back. Doesn't make the class hard and like to joke. Will explain it again if you need and always offers to stay late if anyone needs more of an explanation on anything. Would I take this class again, yes but fortunately this is my last class.
Prof. Roll is an awesome & amazing teacher, it's really easy to learn Statistics with this guy! He explains the material very well, goes over any questions you have, & gives you time on your tests. This was all online too, great communication. Would definitely retake, would also recommend, he's one of the best!
One of a kind professor.
I appreciate the approach. I felt this class introduced the information in easily digestible pieces, and provided enough practice resources to translate that knowledge into an understanding without becoming a burden of busy work.
overall great professor. I enjoyed this class
I really enjoyed taking Intro to Statistics (MA105) with Professor Roll. Content is taught thoroughly, easy to grasp the concepts, Professor Roll gives us plenty of chances to clarify any questions you have about the course both in class and over email. He's also very funny too. Definitely take this course with him.
Very chill teacher and easy to pass his class
Gives good feedback, respects students, and understands
I am petrified of math and have struggled with it my whole life. This is the first time I have taken a math course that I have really enjoyed. You make learning the material fun and interesting and class time flies by. Thank You :)
Ive never enjoyed my time in math classes and regularly found it difficult to understand material. Professor Roll does an excellent job at keeping things as simple as possible. He provides easy to understand directions/explanations, and makes it a priority of his to keep his students happy and stress free.
One of the better professors I have ever had, you wont regret it
such an easy going professor. I would take his class again.
I really like how Professor Roll explains everything in a way that you can understand it and brakes it down for you. Everything is easy to understand and he teaches the content in a very thorough way. Keeps the class entertaining and does not make things boring. Homework is not mandatory but recommended so you can practice and learn statistics.
If you take Stats and are not good at math, do yourself a favor and take him. His online class is so, so, so easy and, bonus, he is funny asf.
