I learned about odds of winning in Vegas.

he is really really good, excellent.......very helpfull and easy to get an A

He likes current events, must attend class. Current events are on the test

He was easy to approach and really wanted to help you learn...great teacher

Great guy...He knows what he is doing. A lot better than Miles.

Don't buy the book. Take notes and study everything he talks about even if it doesn't seem important.

Good teacher, a little quirky....make sure you pay attention to the currnet events. You really don't need the book; just borrow one from someone to do the homework!

The hardest thing is memorizing numerous formulas. Grades generously. Quirky at times, but not in a bad way. Goes over current events in every class and they are on the tests. Shows videos on the super rich and casinos that have no relevance to class.

Tough class, boring subject, great teacher. Adds humor and interesting tidbits that you won't get from other professors. Take Dr. Decker for Econ 201 or else you are missing out!!! Did I just shift his demand curve?

U can't go to his class sleepy or u will fall asleep. There is alot of note taking. Boring. Makes jokes that are kinda stupid that makes you laugh. The 202 class the 1st test is the hardest. I got C's on my tests and made a B, if u try u will get an A

very smart helpful,

A lot of notes. Definitely easier than Miles, but not too easy. He is fair.

Good instructor. Monotone voice can be boring, but lots of notes keep you awake. Everyone should love the inflection on his voice. (point one two, three five six.) If you take the class, you will know what I'm talking about. Also, he loves Warren Buff

Good teacher. Gives good notes, don't buy the book just study the notes. Makes econ interesting.

will work with you if you ask 4 help

copy and study the notes he puts on the overhead including the current events study his review sheets will work with you if you need help

I didn't think I would do very good in this class and ended up with a B. The tests can be frustrating but hang in there. He is very helpful.

Good sense of humor. Actually caught myself laughing at the guy during a serious lecture. Very intelligent person. Gives extra credit to help your grade. Make sure to read your book though, or it's near impossible to understand some material.

have to go to class know the current events he tells you and study your notes more than the book easy teacher if you study just a little

Funny guy, likes to slip little sarcastic comments in the lecture notes and then never mentions them. Study good for the tests.

Good teacher!

His lectures are easy.. he's easy to understand and speaks slowly and clearly enough to understand but his tests are HORRIBLE. It has very very little to do with his lectures. I hate this instructor but he's the only one who teaches it. AGH

Took this class during the 4 week summer session, what a blur! The good news was there was a MASSIVE grading curve so I came out OK. Some peeps complained about his current events that he tested over. I'd rather be tested over something I had read about on bloomberg.com than stats! All things considered, I enjoyed the class!

He's interesting to learn from, knows the material, always willing to help if you don't understand. Got an A although it's my first semester studying and I'm an international student. Sometimes a little vague but spending some time studying helps to understand the material. Pretty big curves, Study just a little bit and you'll do good in his class.

Don't buy the book. Attend class, type the notes and study. Learn the math well because its on the final. There is a curve but you still have to earn your grade, if you want the A you have to earn the A. If you study its possible if your lazy you will earn B at worst C. Most people earn B.

Very nice teacher, definitely knows his stuff and is willing to help anyone that may need extra help. I think his lectures are entertaining with all his random stories and jokes. He grades on a curve because tests are hard so study!

BORING TEACHER! monotone voice!! will put you to sleep for days!! only take this from him if you are good at math.. tests are not that hard if you read that chapters and do your homework but just SOOO DULL.

Most boring class ever. Monotone voice, almost like a robot. He uses business videos and Business questions come up on test.. Easy to salvage an A or B in the class.

Think Ben Stein from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He's pretty dry. Class isn't particularly interesting either and he strays from the subject frequently. During one class we went on "bored.com" and looked at the Mystical Ball...had nothing much to do with statistics, at least in my diagnosis. Memorize the Forbes' 100 List and you'll be good to go.

Get the book (you will need it for mandatory homework). Do the practice problems he gives you for the test. Ask him questions. Do the practice tests. Nice guy, but a bit dry sometimes.

Decker is the coolest teacher ever. Funny and knows how to teach. He is in it for the students and is very helpful. Best teacher Ive had at WSU.

Decker is a G! Hilarious dude. He is also swole in the mind functionality of statistical information. Take this class if your not too stupid to get his jokes.

Statistics isn't necessarily an easy subject, but Decker definitely simplifies things more than any other professor I know in the subject. I wasn't interested in Stats at all, but now I'm considering an Econ minor. Decker puts a few tricky questions on the tests, but you don't have to memorize many formulas. Study and you're fine. Great guy.

He is really hard, you have do the HW and the study guide if you want to pass, if you want an A you have to study A LOT. He curves every exam which is nice and fair for how hard his exercises are. He is one of the best professor at WSU.

I am not sure why he got semi-bad reviews. He is an amazing professor. Tells you everything you need to know on an exam. Class is fairly simple as long as you're good at math. He is such a nice man as well. He explains everything well and answers everyone's questions. I really enjoyed this class.

Decker was an awesome guy. Funny, down to earth, means well, very knowledgeable. Class was hard if you didn't pay attention. Study guide was exactly what was on the test. He would curve test scores as well.

Nice guy. I felt there was way too much emphasis on random facts that he found interesting and would put on the test. Not a lot of statistics. We only covered five chapters and the only time I used the book was for the three homework assignments. Memorize all the random facts from the slides each class...they will be on the exams.

Decker is hilarious! Odd guy but he means well! He really cares about students passing his class at all costs. I do not like statistics but I passed his class with a high C because of his "random facts" that he puts on his tests! He's such a nice guy. You can opt out of his final if you like your grade. By the way, he REALLY likes Warren Buffet.

Dr. Decker is hilarious and he makes learning statistics fun! I would definitely recommend him! Not only did we learn about statistics we also learned about recent business news! Very knowledgeable and easy going! Take his class you will love it!

Awesome guy and fun class!

I loved his sense of humor and the variety of information he brought forth within the class. I had trouble with certain material and I would speak to him after class and he would be eager to evaluate my concerns. People say his lectures are dry and that he himself is "boring", but I think he's great!

The test were in-depth for a 4 week summer class but overall between the book and notes in red he was a fair teacher. I would take another class with him again.

Terrence is a great guy. His class has very few tests and has small assignments. He's really funny and is very nice. He lets the students vote if we want the tests on different days or assignments to be pushed back. Tests are fair. He's extremely knowledgeable so get ready to learn some cool stuff

Decker was one of my favorite professors. I have taken 2 courses with him. It is important to take notes, ask questions, and study hard for the tests. Tests are tough. As long as there is a GOOD effort made, you should receive a B in the class. Go over notes and practice problems repetitively to understand the concept. Great teacher!

Interesting character. Good teacher, and great at relating what we learn in class to the business world.

Decker is an awesome Stats teacher! Make sure you go to class or you'll have no clue what you're doing on exams. Study from the study guide and take notes! READ THE BOOK IF YOU WANT AN A IN THE CLASS!! Final is optional, if you're happy with the course grade at the end of the semester.

Dr. Decker is a very monotone professor. He grades on curve and it is nearly impossible to get less then a C in his class. I'd definitely suggest taking it form him.

Professor Decker is a great Professor who does a good job in explaining the content. He has a good sense of humor too. You must take notes and especially write down the random facts he gives you, they will be on the exam, then the class should be an easy A.

Decker was an awesome instructor. I enjoyed the class because he gave us extra credit questions called red items--which contains current news related to Business Stats, even though they were not mentioned in the book. On top of that, his exams were easy. You just need to look through the materials he provides for the class.

He knows his subject and does a pretty good job of relating it to students. Yes, there are random business facts but he tells you ahead of time that they will be on the test. The only thing I didn't like was that the tests sometimes contained random questions from the textbook we rarely used except for practice problems. Grading is lenient.

Classes are based on 4 exams. First 3 is mandatory (duh) and covers topics learnt and he specifies these topics which will be tested and also gives us a sample paper for each tests which is helpful. 4th exam, the finals is optional if you are happy with your current standing. Not too difficult but the subject is boring. His lectures end early.

Decker is an excellent professor for the course. He gives you a decent amount of assignments, and he provides curves for every exam. The method of doing well in the course is to just go over what he showed to the class. You'll be guaranteed at least a B or better.

Decker is knowledgeable and gives clear guidelines for the class regarding expectations and grading. Class attendance is important and the textbook is only needed for homework. He is very willing to give help if you need it.

Mr. Decker is a very likable guy and it is easy to tell that he knows his stuff. Has an odd way of incorporating real world scenarios into his lectures but it helps make the class more interesting.
