Makes a hard class like Bio-Calc fun and manageable.

He is great, has lots of energy, and is always willing to help. I also love that his hair always looks like he just got out of bed.

He was VERY VERY hard. He teachs well and is a good teacher when is comes to explaining information but his grading method was harsh.In addition to his grading method, he gives out a GREAT deal of homework. So if you're willing to spent the time doing hw all night than he's the teacher for you.

Material is challenging but teacher is fair. If you put the work into the class, you will actually learn some math! He preps you well for quizes and tests and he is often available for help.

He was just overall a great instructor got me up to speed with what i needed. He is clear with his instructions and is willing to help if you need it. Because of him I coded into math 115.

Really, really helpful! If you don't understand, ask...

Tim definitely gives a clear presentation of material and ESPECIALLY what to expect from a quiz/exam. Lots of work is an understatement, but if you do it, you will learn a LOT. <I am convinced that the teacher on Daria was modeled after him!>

I am a horrible math student but I loved his class. He is funny and interesting and he encouraged me to really try rather than just roll through the course with a non-passing grade. I liked him a lot. And vermiculture rocks.

Tim has alot of energy.Knows his stuff.Isn't always clear in class but it is spelled out in the workbook.I advise not skipping lecture.LOTS OF HW. be prepared to spend hours a night working on it.grading was harsh, teachers assistant. unclear on what to expect on hw, quizzes nearly every week. overall, i learned alot.great teacher, great guy.

Tim is always very concise in his speeches and this is honestly the first time in history in which I've been able to understand Math. I can truly tell you that I now enjoy working through math problems, and this is all due to Tim Payer and his teaching abilities.

TIM! this guy is awesome. Super helpful, always in his office hours(he pretty much lives there) He will drop whatever he is doing to help you you just have to put forth the effort to ask. You can also see him mobbin around in the humboldt hill sometimes too! stay up with the HW&LABS

Nothing will make statistics pleasant or easy. However, this instructor gave good lectures to supplement the text and workbook. He made it very clear what material you'd need to know for the exam. He allowed us to have some notes for all the exams, too. There is a lot of homework, but you get a lot of points for it. So do all your homework!

Payer starts the class with a great workbook layout. You don't have to take many notes because it is all there for you- This makes it easier if you miss a class, as well. Very accessible and easy to talk to. Will slow down in class if topic gets moving too fast. Very thorough.

Great teacher. He is really helpful when you have a question and will explain it perfectly. The only downside is all the homework. :P

Tim is a great teacher the fill in lecture notes keep you engaged in the lecture. The practice quiz's are the same as the actual quiz's with different numbers. Tests are pretty much a collection of quiz's with a little more. If you are not as confident with math have him check your labs BEFORE you turn them in. I got 20/20 on every one that way!

Tim is by far the best Professor I have had hear at HSU. His class is NOT easy and he gives lots of homework that can take 3 or more hours every MWF plus labs. But he is willing to help anyone! He is a super nice guy and changes due dates to help the class achieve maximum knowledge. Stay up on the Homework and you'll get atleast a B for sure. :)

Agree with other posters, you need to do all the homework to do well. Not the easiest material but this guy is real nice and approachable, very easy to ask questions too. I would recommend Tim. Good prof.

Such a good teacher. I wish all my teachers were as prepared, helpful, available, and organized as Tim.

Always in his office if not teaching to help you. Lots of work assigned but stay on top of it and you'll get a good grade. Doesn't require a textbook except his workbook that is exceptionally detailed with all the info you need to complete HW and study for quizzes and tests. Recommended even if you hate math.

i would enroll for this class, there are weekly quiz's and two exam. There is online homework which is very easy. The two exam there is a prep packet that he gives and is very helpful not cheat paper well taking the exam. And for the quiz's theres practice quiz that are the same as the real thing just different numbers. But you don't have to study!

Best way to pass. He really knows all the pitfalls of calculus.

Tim gives you all the tools necessary to learn calculus and pass. He is knowledgeable, clear, and helpful, but you gotta do the work.

Calc and biometrics. Most helpful and knowledgable in his arena!

Really nice guy; if you don't understand something go in to his office hours and he will help you until you understand. Sometimes it's hard to get the gist of things during lecture but the homeworks are really helpful and if you can do them and the practice exams you can ace this course! You don't have to buy a textbook but bring his notes to class

Following his step by step book makes everything so easy. By far the best math teacher I have had, rather than teaching a book, he would walk you threw every problem per step. He is very reasonable about situations that come up, if class has to be missed. Great Job TP!!!

Mr. Payer is incredibly helpful and easy to talk! He is not the professor to make you feel stupid when you have a question. He also is great about getting to know his students and where they stand in the class. Two thumbs up!

Tim is an amazing professor that really wants his students to pass. If you are doing poorly in his class, it is your fault as he is readily available to help you in his multitude of office hours and via email.

He moves through material fast and there's a LOT of homework, but it's a very doable class and he's extremely helpful and goes out of his way to make sure you understand.

This guy is the best math teacher I have ever had! He makes his own book which is extremely detailed with pictures illustrating how to use the software and type in code. All of the quizzes and Exams have excellent preps which are for the most part exactly what will be on the tests. This guy has more office hours than I have ever seen to help you

Tim Payer is an awesome instructor, he is really open to questions. He writes his own book for the class because it is cheaper for students that way. He has the BEST office hours of any professor, EVER! 8am-5pm M-F unless he is actively teaching a class. He really does care about his students learning.

Tim knows how tedious stat 109 is and the workbook (no txtbk needed) is laid out to be as clear as possible for your convenience. Never seen a prof so available in office hours for Qs. He is smart and knows the material very well. Gives you all the tools you need to pass with a B or A. He lets students talk during lecture which is annoying

TIm is one of the most approachable people on campus and is very helpful. He wants everyone to pass the class and tires to make stats not so bad. Do the homework!

Good teacher when he has something to work with, ie. his lectures are good but when you try to talk to him it feels so socially awkward it's hard to breath sometimes.

First math class I've had in a while that was so engaging. I'm lucky because our class was only about 20 people so you could sigh under your breath and he'd ask if you had any questions. Overall, a very passionate and wise professor. He left no stone unturned with calculus and I looked forward to his class. His text book is only $25 by the way!

Tim is an amazing teacher and person. I had him for biostats and he would do all that he can to make sure his student's understood the topics. The labs are pretty easy but annoying because entering codes suck, but he makes it really easy for you. He gives extra credit opportunities and lots of practice exams. I would have him as a teacher again.

Tim is one of the few professors I've looked forward to having again. I first had him for stats and then again for Calculus. His teaching style is very specific and straight to the point. He does not beat around the bush with anything and is very helpful outside the classroom. I passed both classes even though I was worried about those classes.

Tim Payer is an amazing instructor. He is always in his office and helpful for tough homework assignments. He created a workbook with everything you need for the class which is way cheaper than the book. when you buy the workbook your online hw fees are included. He is a little introverted but easy to chat with.

This man lives and breathes math!! Before this semester, I had scraped by with a C in MATH115, and previously had to take remedial math courses (even before entering college!) needless to say I was no math major. He made me like math! Did I mention his office hours? Pick a day anyway he will sit down and help you. One of the best teachers at HSU

Tim is the best professor at Humboldt ! Has the BEST office hours ! Is ALWAYS willing to help you out & is extremely understanding with students and how stressful school can be, so easy to talk with it ! Yes you have to put in work for the course but as long as you do your homework and labs you are guaranteed to pass the class !

Tim is what all professors strive to be. His patience is infinite and he will try his absolute best to help you understand biostatistics. Most importantly, he is one of the most friendly and caring people on campus, the reason I come to class.

If you are willing to show up to class and do the work, you'll do well. If you slack off and don't do homework, you will NOT do well. Tim sets up this course for success and spells it out, and it is up to you to meet him halfway. For me, this was an easy A, because I put in effort. I know many people who didn't take this class seriously and failed

I had him for STAT 109 and CALC 105. He expects much from his students, but he really wants everyone to succeed. You have to work for a good grade and pay attention in lecture, but he is very understanding. Almost always available for help in his office, and he really knows the material well.

Gives 5% of final grade in EC, available in his office to help 20 hrs/week and he genuinely loves stats and wants his students to succeed. Lowest quiz score can be re-taken & lab attendance not mandatory. If you apply yourself he gives you every opportunity to succeed. Hardest class ive ever had and I got a 95%. Hes also pretty funny. take him :)

Tim is the man and I'm very glad I had him for my last math class ever. He has a lot of passion for math and was extremely helpful whenever I needed it. If it weren't for him I probably wouldn't be passing stats.

Having written the entire workbook/textbook himself, Tim is extremely knowledge about the material. While a little awkward in getting to know him at first, Tim's office hours are a valuable asset. Be prepared to invest time into coming to class and doing all the example problems.

EVERYTHING is lined out for the semester in a book that he wrote himself! Tim is a great professor; there is A LOT of hw. On a weekly basis, expect 3 hw assignments, lab activity due, and a quiz. However, he has around 20 office hours, so he is very willing to help! He provides multiple quiz & exam preps which are great. He allows 1 quiz retake too

This class is all about the hw. The things you learn for the most part won't be that hard, but the workload is very intensive; there are about 30 hw assignments! Tim is accessible outside of class for like 20 hours so take advantage. The quizzes are weekly, there's clicker quizzes and 3 exams but everything has prep work for which is great!

Tim is great! He teaches a tough class to people who aren't math/engineering majors and does it in a way so you can really understand the material! I was so scared to take calculus, but Professor Payer made it a breeze! He is available in his office basically all day everyday and loves to help!

Tim is a great professor. His lectures are hard and the homework is 5x harder than the notes AND the exams. He really prepares you for exams and quizzes. He is always in his office when stated and will sit down and help you with your homework/studying. 10/10 recommend

I love Tim so much. Stats is hard, and he's always in his office when he says he'll be, ready to give you a pat on the head and tell you that you can do it. He's so kind, and so helpful, and has boundless patience for the endless stream of questions that he's assaulted with every day. He wrote his own textbook, and free pdf version. Thumbs way up!!

Tim is a fantastic teacher. His stats class was very difficult but he has lots of office hours and is always available to help. He is very patient and always motivating you to do well. 5/5 from me

Really compassionate & helpful teacher - the subject itself is hard, but hes a dedicated & diligent teacher. Extremely efficient in responding to emails & has ample office hours. Really really nice guy!

While Tim's class was difficult, he is an amazing instructor because he is there with you the entire time. He is always there during office hours and will walk you through every step if you have questions. He obviously wants his students to succeed and does everything in his power to create a welcoming environment for all learning types.

10/10 best Tim, would Tim again

Had Tim for Stats and Calculus. He's a kind professor, and great at answering questions. Homework 2x a week, and a quiz once a week, which was in my benefit. He really knows his stuff, and is happy to help in and outside of classtime.

Professor Payer is amazing! He really made me enjoy statistics as his notes and way of explaining was very clear. I appreciate his effort to be clear and helpful when it comes to explaining concepts. I would definitely take another stats class with him!

Tim Payer is a solid choice for stat109. This class is a very heavy and difficult course, in which you will need to keep up with all of the HW's, study for quizzes, and make sure you get help on the weekly labs when you need it. He's a very tough grader, but he's always an email away for any questions you may have on any assignment.

I love Tim!! This was my third time taking him, and I wish I could take him again. This class is pretty difficult (I failed the first time and had to retake it) but I truly believe Tim does the best he can to ensure everyone passes. I HIGHLY recommend printing out the notes before lecture and copying everything he writes onto them!

I was nervous to take his class bc of past reviews but he is kind & knows his stuff. Ive never felt dumb when asking Q's. He doesnt handhold or assume you dont know the material. Math is my hardest subject.The hw & labs literally take me a whole day to do.HW does NOT guide u. Take notes in priority: HW, review practice Quiz,lectures & youll be fine

Tim really wants students to succeed. He understands that the majority of students taking STAT109 are not focusing on math. Expect to work hard. There averages 2-3 homework assignments a week (with unlimited attempts) and a lab. Do homework early (it is all posted) and bring questions to class. Show up to lass and do the extra credit - it will help

STAT 109 is a very challenging course, but Payer is a professor who genuinely cares about you and your success. He is incredibly accessible and will answer any of your questions in a very timely matter. You will need to attend class to learn, but video lectures are posted for extra help. He provides the textbook for free. Great guy.

Tim wants everyone to succeed, and goes way out of his way to make the class accessible for everyone. He's available outside of class, is empathetic , and likes to crack jokes. He gives way more on his formula sheets than most professors ever do and tons of opportunities for practice, and a lot of explanation and step by step instruction.

I have Tim for Calculus and Statistics and by far he is one of the most understanding and accessible professors I've had at this school. He is also very approachable. Stats is a heavy course, but he gives amazing study guides and practice quizzes/exams. If you're willing to put in the work, you will do just fine.

If you take the time to complete all homework, review the quiz preps, and study the mock exams, everyone can pass. Professor Tim has a lot of extra credit assignments and is one of the most available and patience professors in office hours.

Tim was so sweet and caring! He is super fair and allows some retakes. The homework is my open math and only one assignment about one a week. He had two extra credit opportunities too. He is really good at explaining things too. I would highly recommend.

Tim was a great professor! He always responded promptly to my emails, and when I was struggling towards the end he made an exception and allowed me to retake a test from earlier in the semester. The class is very hard, but if you pay attention and do all the assignments, you should be alright.

Tim is possibly my favorite teacher ever. He cares so much about stats and helping students; sometimes I would email him with a question at 11pm and he'd answer immediately. Sometimes concepts are confusing when he first explains them, but Tim is always willing to articulate them in different ways and is always available for office hour questions.

Professor Payer is passionate about stats and genuinely wants students to succeed. The class is challenging, but his detailed study guides, practice exams, and unstuckstudy make it manageable. Attend class, do the work, and you'll learn a lot.
