I signed up for the E-lecture section, which is the section where you're not allowed to go to lecture, but you watch them online (it's literally the same thing). For as long as I could remember, I hated probability and the type of math associated with statistics, so I was genuinely worried about this class. HOWEVER, this professor is AMAZING. Nicest guy you'll ever meet, he's so dedicated to making sure you understand and that he's always there to help. I e-mailed him a couple times throughout the quarter for help on homework questions and he'd always give such detailed responses. You get a sense that he truly cares for his students. The homework and online quizzes are a bit on the challenging side, but if you go/watch (to) his lectures and study his lecture slides, you are SET for the exams. They are quite easy. Also, chapters 18-22 get pretty confusing at times, so that was when I actually opened the book and read those chapters. People - reading IS helpful sometimes! Do it! It really helped me understanding concepts that were sometimes unclear in lecture. I think that really helped me do well on the exams too.

The course has about 8 quizzes, 6-7 homework assignments assigned weekly, 2 midterms, and a final. Don't worry about the labs either - they're really easy and they can be interesting at times.

Only the lazy people will get anything less than a B+. I highly recommend this class - take it! The professor is nice and the content is sufficient to get by on.

He's a genuinely nice guy who cares about his students. He smiles a lot and makes little jokes in class. Every Friday at the end of lecture he tells us all to be safe and don't drink and drive :) Super fair quizzes, midterm, and final. He recycles a lot of questions from his powerpoints and weekly quizzes, so if you study those and have a decent grasp on the material you'll do great on the final. He said numerous times that he would love for the whole class to earn A's. The averages are always really high, which is awesome 'cause he doesn't mind! He does everything he can to help out his students, even holding a video chat the day before an exam for last minute questions (which, it turns out, no one participated in because they didn't need to!) If you forget your clicker for attendance (or, ahem, you decided to sleep in) you can just email him and he'll give you attendance credit. Really... there's nothing bad to say. Easy, caring, good guy. Take him!

Best professor ever! Take him!

Okay, so he is such a nice professor and he really cares about his students. You can clearly see how much he wants you to learn in lecture. He's always available to help students and doesn't get annoyed at those dumb f*cks who ask stupid questions. He really tries to make stats interesting and easy to understand.

I think he's the best prof that teaches Stats 10. From my experience with this class and from what other people have said, all the other stats 10 profs suck and don't give a shit.

THIS IS NOT AN EASY CLASS. Omfg, I have never done so much work for a class before. You have to put in so much time and effort in this class..

1) Go to lecture
attendance is 2% of your grade.. doesn't seem like a lot but it could help you in the end.

2) Read your textbook
Yeah, seriously read that shit. Even as a north campus major, I've gotten As in my classes without fully reading my textbooks for two years now... this is the first class where I've actually read every single word of every single chapter. Reading the textbook helps to understand the concepts from lecture.

3) Grade breakdown

2%= attendance
8% = quizzes
8%= homework
8% = lab
40% = Midterm 1 & Midterm 2
34% = Final

You have quizzes due on mon, labs due tues, and homework due friday...and he drops the lowest score for each one

Midterm 1 was easy. Midterm 2 was so hard.. it was all probability.

The final was ridiculously hard.. more than half of the lecture stayed 30 min after the 3 hours you're initially given to finish the test.

The test format is half multiple choice (around 15-20 questions) and 1 or 2 short answers.

Take it with this prof! It's a lot of work but he's such a nice person. I thought it was worth it. I ended up getting a B because I basically didn't go to the last 4 weeks of class.. if you put in the time you can get an A in the class!! it's a lottttt of work though.

I hope this helps! Good luck, don't forget stats 10 is impacted too so you can't drop it after week 2

the class was too tedious for its own good. you become jaded and bored as the class progresses so slowly throughout the entire quarter. meanwhile, amid performing repetitive busy work (homework, lab quiz on repeat, not to mention 2 lab exams, 2 midterms, and a ridiculously long final). Professor almohalwas seems to believe that the more problems we cover and the more slides he posts mean he is providing a better education. however, from the questions you hear other students reading in class, it becomes quite apparent that it's all too much material about too little substance being presented at too quick a pace for many students to fully grasp. almohalwas would benefit from focusing on a single example and making absolutely clear each and every step that he is taking once, twice, three times. before moving onto the next problem. the material itself is not very hard. the final however is cumulative and the exam covers pretty much everything, making the final exam both long and a huge pain the ass. by the end of the exam i was so tired of the class that i didn't bother to double check any of my work. summer was waiting

Generally, he is an OK lecturer. He definitely doesn't explain the material as well as he could... He usually reads off the slides, but doesn't explain much further or word things in a way that make it easier to understand. His exams are fair, the textbook is useless, and you basically need to study the quiz questions and why they are right to do well on the conceptual parts of the exams... The material itself is dry, uninteresting, and highly inapplicable to other classes or real life. Lectures are more or less required (clickers), but you will honestly spend more time on the articles, labs, and quizzes (which are all unrelated, useless, and equally as boring). Bottom line, this class is not hard, but it is a big time sink, and most likely 80% of your class isn't going to care much about it either.

I'm going to be really honest, I didn't pay attention in his class at all. And as someone who sat in the back of the lecture hall, I can say that about 70% of the class didn't either. He makes little sense in lecture, and as someone who took AP Stats in high school, I know for a fact there's an easier way to teach Stats than the way he does. He makes simple things seem so complicated!
That being said, he is a very nice man. He seems very genuine, and while I'm sure he knows his stuff, he just doesn't seem to be good at teaching it.

The great thing though is that the material is easy as pie. The textbook was great; right before the midterms I would just sit for an hour and read the assigned chapters, do his "suggested" homework problems and additional practice ?'s, and I got A's on both midterms.
Granted this may be because I already knew the material from high school, but two of my friends who had no knowledge of Stats did as I did, and also walked out with an A in the class.

Also to the people below me complaining about the "workload", it wasn't much at all. Just a short lab report a week that you could literally finish in about an hour, and one online quiz a week that takes about 15 minutes.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Would not recommend.
Please don't take the class unless you have a background in statistics (such as AP stats). The way he goes over the material makes it more confusing than it should be. Also, the class has a ton of busy work (labs and articles) that don't add to helping you understand the material. If you do take the class, hope that you get a helpful TA that will break down the material and go over the useless labs and articles so that you don't lose points.

I honestly don't understand how this professor is getting such high reviews. After four years of college, this is easily the worst class I have ever taken. I will say that he is easy, and if you put in effort you should easily be able to get an A, but everything about this class is frustrating and a huge waste of time. Despite doing well in the class I don't feel like I know anything more than I did before I took it.

Very unorganized professor, rude, and not helpful in the least. Lectures are the most directionless I have ever experienced, attendance is mandatory but you're better of reading the book because his lectures are utterly undecipherable. Learned absolutely nothing in this class. Avoid at all costs.
