Tough grader, literally take stats with anyone else. He takes off points for no reason what so ever.PSYC2320 2016-12-15 03:40:03 +0000 UTC
Take psych stats with any other professor. He grades mostly on vocab that you have to go search the definitions for, and a lot of the time exact book definitions would be wrong. 23 of the exam werent even on math. I have no idea why he has a 4 for helpfulness because I went to office hours and he seemed confused that i was there. Terrible class2320 2014-12-03 14:03:09 +0000 UTC
He's burt out, doesnt care, doesnt teach in class but grades brutally. He's kind of funny but other then that he sucks. Maybe stats is fine but research design is the worst course ive taken at NU. I HATE the man becuase of how poorly he conducted the class. He stops teaching midway through the school year!!!PSYC4600 2011-04-13 00:43:19 +0000 UTC
Horrible teacher!!!He makes easy things so complicated. He says examples instead of writing them for a MATH class. You cant follow the book because he teaches it a different way. Students would ask for help he would say " what do you think", students would ask " how do you put formulas in the calculator he would say "figure it out". DO NOT TAKE HIMSTATS240 2011-03-14 23:24:01 +0000 UTC
This man is a horrible teacher. If you had taken STATS in highschool then you will probably get it, however I didnt , everyone complained about the call and how he taught. He is so scattered, that he becomes confusing ! the Final was really long took all of the two hours, DONT TAKE !!! if you need step by step process.STATS2430 2010-12-17 14:35:23 +0000 UTC
I know a lot of people like him, and he is a nice enough guy, but personally his teaching style is really not for me and coming to this class was painful.PSY320 2008-05-14 09:14:23 +0000 UTC
HOT AS HELLSTATS 2006-04-18 22:22:21 +0000 UTC
He is a really great person and a pretty good professor. I did well in Stats but I have heard he is one of the most difficult. For an easy A, get some one else.STATSANDPSYCH 2005-09-23 05:23:39 +0000 UTC
If you have any high school mathematical background, this class is fluff. I had to take it depsite my AP stat credit (counts for everything BUT stat for psych). But despite the fact that I knew everything already, I still enjoyed the class, cause prof QuSTAT 2005-09-08 10:06:54 +0000 UTC
great guySTATS1AMP2 2005-08-31 12:12:23 +0000 UTC
Requried for Psyc majors. I had taken Stat courses before so it was fairly easy for me but it's not an easy class for those who aren't familiar with statistics. He does a pretty good job of breaking it down though. Typical crazy math professorPSYU320 2004-12-08 16:34:57 +0000 UTC
He's a little bit tough for a stats prof...but i slacked offPSY 2003-08-05 15:18:26 +0000 UTC
Very cool guy, easy class.PSY1103 2003-05-19 22:17:53 +0000 UTC
I LOVED him! I had him for Stats and he made it fun and easy. Used real life psych examples which helped to see its real world applications. Answers questions well and will discuss test results if you ask. TAKE HIM! Also an advisor so he is a good man to know. Laid back and easy going. Makes sure you know the material before the test. LOVED him!PSYC2320 2010-02-08 04:58:22 +0000 UTC
