Landrigan's lectures were pretty boring. He uses business statistics for examples which confused me. Section is mandatory, but your TA really helps you learn the material for the class. The midterm and exams cover the things went over in section and the curve is usually really high. I remember that a D was a B on the curve.
Very bad professor. Hard to understand lectures and sections are mandatory but pointless, although I learned more from then that from him. Tests are very hard, half the questions on the final were nothing like anything we had ever seen before. I was lucky to get a passing grade
This class was very difficult. Professor Landrigan was not the best professor, however he was well organized. He is not the best teacher, but not horrible either. I thought pstat 5e was this very challenging.
Do not listen to the reviewers giving this guy a low score for no good reason... He's not the best at explaining the material but the class itself is well organized and you will NOT have a problem keeping up as long as you go to lecture or CLAS. He even posts practice problems before exams. Understand those problems and you're gold. Very easy.
Not sure why so many people complain about this guy. Nice professor who is always approachable and understanding on a one-on-one basis. Helped me alot get thru the course. He also explains material pretty well IMO. Recommended overall.
Nice guy but a terrible professor. He is unorganized and very slow because of his stutter. This makes him difficult to understand. His method of giving examples before explaining the formulas or methods used does not work and just confuses the hell out of everyone. Go to CLAS and sleep through lecture
The material overall for this class was semi-interesting and easy to learn and apply. But the teacher, basically didnt do his job because he didnt teach! I learned NOTHING going to lecture so I went to CLAS which was extremely helpful and got me through the class. Try a different teacher unless you have the time to learn the material yourself.

He does stutter a bit during lecture, but he's a really nice guy. He's always available to help you with homework. I accidentally came to his office once when he didn't have scheduled office hours, and he helped me anyway. His lectures are pretty clear, and helped me learn the material. His midterms (2) were too long, but he is a new prof.
horrible. plain and simple...
He was new so i cut him some slack. His stuttering was a little silly. He seemed very nice. I didnt think it was impossible to learn at all, especially if you went to class and tried to pay a ttention. i got an A-.
pretty hard class all together... just like any other math class. professor tries to make class interesting...he even attempted to make an exercise using pennies. people should cut him some slack.
