The most ineffective, disorganized, error-prone professor I've had in my four years. Having no stats experience whatsoever, I came in with hopes that I would learn and enjoy stats. Well, that hope is gone and my view of stats is forever tainted, I don't ever want to take another stats class if I'm going to have to learn 90% of the material by myself from online or supplemental material. His slides are horrendous: many typos, skips over a few without context, notations are all over the place, fails to give equations (he wants us to "learn the big picture" and does not give mathematical equations until after he gives a long complex abstract talk that could be condensed into short statements with concrete examples), labs are a complete mess (directions change DAILY and fail to work most of the time), quizzes also fail in many ways (grammar errors that affect the actual answer, gives questions on what we haven't learned). He's a nice guy and he wants people to learn, but really if you want to learn stats from the beginning DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS PLEASE. If you have previous stats experience from AP or something else it shouldn't be bad because the material seems straightforward enough if somebody taught them well but coming from no stats experience I've pretty much given up on learning stats in class and I am resorting to other materials.

He is a very accessible and friendly professor. We had clickers and he was always disappointed even when 99% of the class would get the answer right because he knew at least one person did not understand the material. He really cares about his students and wants everyone to understand Stats. If you need to take a Stats classes, make sure you take it with him. Ps Eric Fox is an awesome TA

explains well and is very nice during lecture. he will answer any question asked in lecture and will never make u feel dumb and instead say "thats a great question" even if he had just covered the answer in detail. with that being said his midterm was out of very little points. i scored one point below average o the mc and one point below average on the show your work and placed me at a swooping 10% below average (i scored around a C- and average was a B-) which i was very very very bitter about. However i did much better on my final (about 4 or 5 higher than average). This class is ALOT of work...weekly labs, quizes, and articles. however these helped my grade a lot. he has extra credit as well to bump ur grade by 2% which i was thankful for. i ended up getting a B+ in the class due to my midterm grade.

at the beginning he says the grade u get is the amount of work u put into the class and this is very true. i found his tests to be very fair yet challenging. his tests truly measure understanding and he really respects the students' intellect. overall i recommend him.
