PSTAT105 . 2 Years Ago

Carter will put topics or problems that we haven’t learned about in lecture on our homework and tests consistently. Do not take this class unless you’re willing to work hours on end trying to teach yourself.

PSTAT105 . 2 Years Ago

He is the worst prof I have ever met, worse than Ravat. I really don't understand why UCSB would hire a professor like that, who doesn't teach at all. He's very lazy, doesn't care about students, and doesn't answer emails at all. His lectures are difficult to understand because there is no logic. Seriously, he should get out of here right now.

PSTAT105 . 8 Years Ago

His lecutres are hard to follow so expect to hit the ground running asap. His homework are super hard and he will tell you it is harder than the exams therefore do good on your homework and midterm and final will be a breeze. I procrastinated alot and still did better than majority of the class. He's a good professor overall.

PSTAT207A . 9 Months Ago

Carter taught 207A very well and was decently enthusiastic about the subject. However, the class was a lot of work: the homeworks can be downright brutal and occupied most of my time during the week. Plus the exams were difficult: the final was only 5 questions and took me 4.5 hours to finish. Although I think that's good preparation for the quals.

PSTAT122 . 2 Years Ago

Prof. Carter knows his stuff, and is able to breakdown complex ideas into small bite sizes. Carter lectures are amazing, and provided plenty of resources to succeed. However, Carters slide always have a typos, and he very temperamental. The homework assignment were difficult, and exams were tough . Carter isnt a push over.

PSTAT122 . 3 Years Ago

Do not take this class with Carter. Exams were difficult, low averages, but still refused to curve the class or even bump up borderline grades. Super strict gradings, 0 partial credit. Never responded to emails, ghosted students after final grades were on gold. 122 is supposed to be one of the easier classes and he made it hell.
