Seriously such a great teacher! He makes everything incredibly clear and even writes out tables/charts to distinguish different methods and formulas. If you need to take stats take it with HIM! i cant see any stat class being more straightforward. Homework isn't too bad, but you def need the book.
seriously loved this class and I'm not even that big of a fan of math. Professor Giesbrecht is an amazing teacher. He is very clear in class, makes sure to get the class involved, uses fun examples, and is always open to help you. The class can be difficult for some because of the psychology curve but he prepares you well. No complaints
very helpful and knowledgable professor. weekly homework assignments from the textbook that normally don't take long. he makes his power points available online too, so that's helpful for before the midterm and final. do well on the homework though because that will make the difference in boosting your final grade
It's been over two weeks and we're still waiting to get our midterms back. Quite annoying. Also, he waits a few days to post lectures so if you miss class on Tuesday, you might as well not go on Thursday because you can't see the slides. Easy class though.
He's very clear and tries to make the class interesting, but it's still stats. I thought the exams were tough, but not impossible. His Canadian accent shines through, especially when he says "about."
GREAT guy. Come to his office hours and he will explain anything you have difficulty on literally until you get it. Tough class but he goes by the book--READ IT. Cause u need to know not only how to solve the problem, but the concepts behind it. I know it sucks, but I learned a lot. (and I Hate math.)
he's very direct
wonderful!
very organized, has slides up after lecture and explains thoroughly. a good teacher but his curves are a killer!! He stays true to the z-score. I got 1 question wrong on the midterm and 1 question wrong on the final (out of 30) and still got an A-!!
I hate math and this was my 2nd time re-taking stats... he by far was the best professor. Though the material is boring, he's really helpful and clear with his explanations.
His lectures are as dry as the material. This class is a pre-major req., though, so if you have to take it you have to take it. He follows the book EXACTLY so do the reading and don't bother going to class unless the chapter for that lecture confused you. No need to attend section, either. Bonus! :)
Really nice guy! Tries really hard to help his students. But class and concepts can get difficult at times. Make sure to really understand concepts more then just how to solve the problems.
Good teacher, material can get boring at points but the class isn't so hard.
tries really hard...good teacher.
