He very obviously cares about his students. He is super sweet, helpful, reasonable with grading/regrades and does not give A-'s. His lectures could be longwinded at times, but he posts them online so I always just watched them double speed and it was super helpful/convienent. Just do the reccomended homework problems and you'll for sure get an A!

My first stats class and it was so much better than I expected. His lectures were basically just reading his slides so I never went to class but GO TO SECTION! Attending section is like half of your grade, free points basically. Doing the homework practice problems and light review will get you at least a B on the tests: 2 midterms and a final.

For 5LS I would highly recommend if you want an A. It's an extremely doable A and his grading is fair. His tests are copies of the homework so there are no surprises. I've seen tests from other stats professors for 5A and Wainwright's is way easier and straightforward. His tests also give credit on work shown so partial credit is given :))

horrible

Honestly, he isn't a bad professor, he's chill it's the class that's boring. He does tend to dwell over topics tho. All expectations are clear. Grading is fair. Recommend reading the textbook for harder topics.

Professor Wainwright's class is very manageable and the expectations are very clear, but his class is super boring. Lectures are very slow and he takes forever to cover the easiest topics. With that said, the class is not difficult and if you attend section you'll be fine.
