If you are going to take stats and having professor Wayne is one of your options, take the class with him. For me stats was hard because of how much you have to change your wy of thinking, but his slides and the assignments are very well developed. The slides are "crystal clear" and he cannot explain the content any better. Assignments prepare you.

I took STAT2507 last year (online) and did not pass first time around, though, it was my own fault. Dr. Horn was easily the better professor of the two. Watch his lectures! While his jokes are corny (in a good way), his explanations/exercises will carry you (I didn't use the textbook). I chatted with him regarding other courses too. I enjoyed.

Wayne is an amazing teacher. The recorded lectures were straightforward and interesting. However, the tutorial were very boring as we had to use an old software (SPSS) but they were worth only 5 %.The tests and the final were worth 90% with fairly challenging questions, you would be fine as long as you watch the lectures and practice questions.

Lectures were informative, and he tries to engage students as much as possible. He is very willing to help out struggling students and honestly wishes for the whole class to succeed, however he does not tolerate chatter or use of phones during lectures.

Tests worth 90% of grade, but DO THE PRACTICE QUESTIONS to study for them. They're very helpful for the long answer portion on tests. Overall, great prof and always willing to help you out!

Professor Horn is an amazing professor, caring for his students and wanting everyone to succeed. Tests make up 90% of the final grade, but are non-cumulative so it's easier to study for. IF YOU DON'T PRACTICE YOU'LL FAIL. I didn't the first time, I re-took it and realized how straightforward the course is. Definitely a top prof all the time for me.

He has decent recorded lectures, but they aren't that great for non-statistic majors as they sometimes gloss over test content. His tests are fairly difficult compared to other STAT2507 sections.
