humorous and respectedENSY5000 2016-10-13 21:14:19 +0000 UTC
unclear. goes off tangent. very frustrating teaching style. I think he knows his stuff very well but he cannot present it well.HEATTRAN 2008-07-09 10:25:16 +0000 UTC
Likeable guy but has a frustrating teaching style. Half the time his lectures were great and the other half he was very unclear and seemed to only brush the surface of complicated topics. My main problem was that he didn't teach with the book: I often struggled to go back and forth between class notes and the book. Helpful though and class is easy.MIMU315 2006-01-09 11:01:59 +0000 UTC
WAY TOO COMPLICATED. He knows what he's talking about, and thats the problem. He might be too smart for the students good. If you listen in class to what he teaches, then try to look at things in a simpler manner, you will see that concepts are overcomplicated. Not a bad class thought. Quizzes aren't too hard and he is very fair.STATSECON 2005-10-25 12:15:12 +0000 UTC
Good, except his lectures seem to overcomplicate concepts a bit.STATSANDECON 2005-10-20 20:05:43 +0000 UTC

I think he's an excellent teacher, if only he'd talk faster!!CAPSTONE 2005-08-31 15:20:03 +0000 UTC
Class concepts take a little time to get used to. Exams are much easier than homework.MIMU570 2004-09-07 14:26:40 +0000 UTC
Gregory is a good professor and he gave me a excellent feedback how I will manage my professional life.ENSY5000 2016-01-16 18:08:38 +0000 UTC
This was the first time the stats & econ class was considered mandatory. Wasn't too bad. Tests and quizzes were straight forward and homework was helpful.MIMU315 2005-08-30 20:30:10 +0000 UTC
Seems knowledgable enough but is simply not a good teacher. Spends many lectures on one problem and has an overall slow pace. Crams topics in at the end of the semester due to poor scheduling. Does not grade with modifiers (i.e. B+ or A-, only A, B, C) which can hurt your GPA (which he doesn't care about). Needs to update his lectures.ENSY5000 2015-02-12 19:30:26 +0000 UTC
homework answer usually not givenENSY5000 2014-12-10 19:06:27 +0000 UTC
A very nice guy. Not the best teacher though. Easy to pass with a descent grade. Very inspiring. Gives you ideas rather than solid knowledge which I think is even better.ENSY5000 2014-11-27 16:53:52 +0000 UTC
I like the professor, he is so nice, but he does not have a skills of teaching, he is too slow, he does not give enough example, even the examples that he gave us were not clear and were not even know that he was already start in an example, he is not organized at all.ENSY5000 2012-12-15 22:58:25 +0000 UTC
He is kind. I love his lecture very muchENSY5000 2012-10-19 11:12:45 +0000 UTC
