207ABC . Jammalamadaka 4 Years Ago

Dr. J is one of the best statistics teachers I have met, full of wisdom and patience. Every time during his lecture, he only needs a piece of chalk and a blackboard to teach you all the profound statistical knowledge without reservation. The handwriting is not easy to follow for the first time. Do your homework and you will pass the exam easily.

Dude, his lectures are the best lectures in statistics or mathematics you will ever find!! He does all this without using any notes. Do you know of any other professor who can do that?? I thought not! Dr. J strolls into class picks up the chalk and literally takes you to school. He knows it! He's the best at taking difficult ideas and expl

He is one of the best professors in the department! He explains the material very well in his lectures and has a lot of knowledge. You can get a good grade as long as you study.

It's nice to have a class where the professor truly wants you to get a good grade. Every step of the way he makes it easy to make up your grade or do better. The final was out of 115 points but he grades it out of 100. Dr. J is very nice. That said, if I could give him a difficulty of 0 I would. The class was not challenging in the slightest.

It was difficult to understand him sometimes during lecture because of his accent, but he is a very nice prof and very good at teaching the material as well. Lectures can be kind of difficult to follow sometimes, but the book is extremely helpful. Super generous exam curves, would take again if I could.

Great professor! Attending lectures is very very important as a couple midterm/final problems pop up from there. All hw is from the online textbook. Don't worry if you find yourself lost after lecture, just do the homework and then review the lecture notes and you'll be good. And he curves heavily at the end if you didn't do too well (i would know)
