really easy, but GO TO CLASS

No Comments

Can be very funny at times, is very concise with his explanations. If you attend class, no problems should arise.

Lectures can be fun, but cheesy. Basically, go to class, do the WebAssigns/worksheets, and you'll be ok.

Very helpful and nice. Good class. Learned a lot!

Great teacher! His very helpful and he wants students to learn the material. I recommand everyone to take him.

make sure you have the prerequistes or it will be your worst nightmare. but if you have them you will most likely not even need to study.

Pretty boring class, but what stats class is interesting? If you do your webassign you will do fine in the class.

Webassign are almost half your grade. If you do those and go to class everyday he explains things that you need to know. I find his explanation quite lengthy but i think he is trying to make sure we actually know the material. He incorparates alot of sports and real life situations to class exercises and he is a UNC hater .. arent we all :-)

Professor Reiland is a quality teacher who actually cares whether his students get the subject or not. His lectures are easy to understand, and all powerpoints are posted online so students can refer back to them later. His tests are rather simple, and he will answer homework questions in class if students are having difficulties with them.

This class is SUPER easy if you just pay attention and bring your calculator to class. He will answer even the dumbest questions after class and wont make you feel like an idiot. He doesnt take attendance but there are worksheets that are to be turned in at the end of every class and if you miss them thats not good :/ Super easy, great teacher.

Cute old guy super nice and helpful, pay freaking attention and you will do wonderful. Webassigns are fairly easy if you go to class and you also turn in worksheets everyday which add up if you dont go to class. He will answer even the dumbest question and not make you feel like an idiot :) Super teacher, take him.

Great class. Definitely recommend going to class, some webassign problems can be hard if you didn't hear him explain it. He won't completely work out the WA problems but helps you start them if you need help. Very entertaining class with the sound effects in the PP slides. Course pack doesn't follow his PP exactly, so pay attention!

Adding to my previous comment...his tests are much easier than webassign problems because he "can't assume everyone has a graphing calculator." It's a great assumption. Plus you get a note card for formulas.

Simply put, one of the BEST professors here at NC State. He is personable, patient, and more than willing to help. The WebAssign homework problems are hard but if you touch base with him, he explains it clearly. Clickers, practice tests are very helpful for exams. Great teacher!

I took the class online so I don't know much about how engaging he actually is, but I had to email him a few times because I was confused on some things and he was very helpful. He once gave me an extension that I didn't even ask for, so that was nice.

The WebAssigns aren't hard at all if you actually study the material instead of trying desperately to find it on google or chegg like most people. Reiland is an excellent professor. His main website has everything you need to master the material. Very enthusiastic in class and genuinely enjoys his job. A huge sports enthusiast too.

Take this class online if you can. The first two tests are extremely easy and you are allowed a double sided formula sheet on all 4 of them (All non cumulative). The homework (between webassign and mastery points on pearson) is essentially 57% of your final grade and you get multiple tries on each problem.

Dr. Reiland is one of the nicest professors that I have ever had. He is very helpful and will always stay to talk to you and help with anything that he can. His tests are very straightforward, easy, and based on notes. His lectures can be very boring, but overall he's a good professor.

Great professor. His reply emails were quick and useful. If you ask he will give you extensions (sometimes multiple extensions) on deadlines, which demonstrates to me that he actually cares that you know the material.

Professor Reiland was very enthusiastic about what he was teaching. He was very helpful in answering any questions. He quickly corrected my grade when I pointed out an error in my test grading. He was quite easy going.

Very sweet old guy who genuinely loves statistics. He uses hilariously bad PowerPoints with sound and animations too. Gives out printed copies of lectures and posts hints for all the homeworks. Lectures are very slow though, but it's because he really takes time to make sure everyone understands. Pretty easy to do well if you study and do the HW.

I thought Dr. Reiland was awesome! Has quite a dry sense of humor, and the little add-ins to his powerpoint almost make it worth it, however I could go without them still. The worksheets were helpful to me and the tests were easy considering you could have a cheat sheet. I don't have my grade in yet but I'm assuming I'll be getting an A. Easy class

Very easy grader. Explains material slowly so you have enough time to understand the new formulas and concepts. Gives many practice worksheets that he goes over with the class. Often lets class out early. Highly recommend.

Really nice guy. The tests are much easier than the homework and he allows a cheatsheet on the exam. Basically, take ALL the problems from the PRACTICE exams, and w/e else and put them on your cheatsheet. Take the ENTIRE exam period to do the test and you should be good. A 'C' w/o studying, but prob an A if you actually try. DO THE TOPHATS FREE 100

God bless this man. I made a 56 on one exam and 48 on the final, I never went to class (which isn't that bad because you can just sit at home and do the tophats), only did like 50% of the tophats and only did as much of the WebAssigns as I could do with just finding answers from online and he still gave me a C. I should have gotten a D+ at best.

Professor Reiland is without a doubt one of the best professors Ive ever had. Hes extremely knowledgeable on the material and is more than happy to help with any topic youre struggling with. The powerpoints are vital to class success, which is why he focuses on them so much. Just do the work (not Cheggs or Coursehero) and you should be alright.

Lectures get a bit boring. Webassign homework for each chapter is a bit tough but very helpful. Exams tough but you get a cheat sheet. The grading scale is set up to help you out, just go to class and do all of the homeworks. You just need to make Cs on the exams and you'll be fine. He offers a plenty of help outside class.

I took Reiland's class Spring 2020 and it was great. It was pretty much an easier recap of basic stats with very little new topics. He posted helpful advice and info in the webassign forums which was super useful. In person you could tell he was really trying to teach the material as best as he can. Even when we switched to online he was available.

I can't comment on his teaching as the class was entirely online. But the tests are exactly like the HW. They are open note/open internet. You have 24 hours to do the test and can leave and come back to finish at any point throughout that time.

I took this class during the summer and online. I don't understand what the other people here are saying because he provides a lot of great resources to use (a textbook, powerpoints with audio to explain the slides, recordings of specific homework problems, and a lot of other resources.) It's online and asynchronous, so expect independent work.

Reiland is like your kind grandpa who uses old tech (everything is in excel), loves sports, and adds little gifs to his ppt slides. Class is super easy, basically all computation, exams are also easy, prof is very responsive w email and helpful in office hours. I've emailed him after midnight and he responded in half an hour. Take him if you can.

Took the class fully remote. PowerPoints had voiceover and were as interesting as they could be, imo. Dr. Reiland is accessible remotely all semester but there are also a lot of online resources provided. That being said, this class needs to be taken seriously. If you can do the homework, you can do well on the exams.

Now, Mr. Reiland may not be the best at lectures, but the amount of help he gives in the form of office hours and recorded office hours is amazing. They will help you with each homework assignment (12 of them, btw), and they mostly break down each question, so it is easier to teach yourself. He also allows a cheatsheet for each test, best teacher.

So far from what I've seen in Prof. Reiland's class, the best learning material by far is the PowerPoints on his own website, which he narrates himself. I don't have to use any other material to learn other than those PowerPoints and the corresponding Webassign homework. I find the organization of his website to be slightly confusing, though.

I took his ST 311 class over this past summer. I've never been that good at any kind of math but I ended up doing well in this class. Try to get good grades on all the homework because they're worth half your grade. He allows a full typed front and back cheat sheet for each test. Tests are hard but this helps as well as his review material.

I got really sick during this summer semester and had to spend a week in the hospital + got covid during exam time. I straight up STRUGGLED during this course to keep up because overall I'm not a math person. Thomas was kind and way too patient with me. He helped me keep my scholarships and do well in this class. A+ dude

Tests and homework are weighted 50/50. His class is hard but he is willing to help you a lot. He posts zoom videos to help you answer homework questions and will help you with any questions you need help with. Don't be discouraged if you fail the tests because stats is a very hard class but overall he made me enjoy this class alot.

He helps with the homework questions in class and is always willing to help students. The class is weighted 50/50 on test and homework. Lots of review questions/practices for the tests, though they are difficult. You do get to bring in a single cheat sheet in for tests so the powerpoints help when making them.

Prof Reiland is a great professor and he cares about his students. He goes over homework and test material in class and will help you with whatever you ask. The class material is just very hard. Be willing to work hard in this class if you want to do well, and Reiland will help you. You will fail the tests if you don't study or know the material.

12 HW and 3 exams counting the final. Lots of resources and detailed explanations to help answer questions on HW. Most problems can be solved with a little bit of math, graphing calculator, or stat crunch. Use his PowerPoints on his website (not on Moodle) and office hour zooms on Moodle to do HW. Overall good professor.

Professor Reiland was truly a great guy and you could tell he cared about what he taught. I feel bad he has to teach one of the hardest classes in college because he's such a good professor. As long as you do all of your work and try on all of the exams he won't fail you overall he's a great guy and professor and accepts late work.

It's stat class, of course it's boring, but Tom is a really sweet guy who loves statistics and cares about his student's success. The tests are hard, but they're not worth a lot. Do the HW!! It's worth a lot and will save ur grade. Also, go to zoom office hours, he records them and walks you step by step through ur hw ?'s.

Dr. Reiland is very nice and respectful towards students. Show up to class, ask questions, take notes and you'll do fine. His homework assignments will be difficult from week to week, but the course pack was helpful in completing them. The midterms were good but the final exam was a challenge, so study extensively.

Dr.Reiland is a really good guy. He tries to help you as much as possible, but stats is a hard class. I recommend him!

Thomas Reiland is an amazing teacher. Unfortunately his lectures and website are not as helpful as you think. Do his practice exams and you will be fine. He gives extra points at the end of the semester for hard work so make sure to reach out. Homework is 40% or your grade, exams are 50% and tophats were 10% so basically a 50/50 split.

Really nice guy! He's always willing to help and gives you lots of resources to prepare for exams. The real-life examples he uses in the lectures help make the class more interesting. Definitely do the practice exams he posts on WebAssign! They have questions from past exams and are really helpful.

Loved Professor Reiland. Lectures were a bit of a bore at times but he covered the exact material that is covered on the tests, homeworks were a bit tedious at times but not too difficult. His website outlines everything you need to know for the homeworks and tests which was also very helpful.

He is a great and compassionate professor who truly cares about his students. He granted me multiple extensions on HW during the 5-week course. That being said, the tests are nothing like the HW (which takes hours to do), thus it throws you off. Do the practice exams. HW+worksheets count for more than 50%. He takes a while getting to the point too.

Dr. Reiland is passionate about statistics, explains the material well, and wants everyone who puts in effort to succeed. Less than 40% of your grade comes from tests, so constant participation will get you far in this class. He also allows a cheat sheet on exams. Everything you need to study for this class is on the class website and WebAssign.

Really good and easy with grading. We did have extenuating circumstances this semester that required exams to be take-home, but he's a good professor overall, albeit his lectures are pretty boring. In that vein, attendance is optional. If you have any questions, he will not hesitate to help you.

Dr. Reiland is one of those professors that knows the material so well that he can break it down very simply. For a tough curriculum, he was spot-on when it came to explaining concepts. He creates his own presentations, course pack, and excel formula sheets.

This class is a stereotypical math class. Weekly homework with a couple of tests and a final. The tests including the final give you ample amounts of time to complete them and you can take the tests anywhere.

The course material was slightly challenging for me, personally. However, he was super kind and worked with me to help navigate my scheduling circumstances.

Professor Reiland explains concepts clearly, but the course is challenging. Attend lectures, do the practice exams, and use tools like Unstuck study to prepare - it really helps. Overall, a rewarding class if you engage with the material.
