Amazing prof to take for any stats class. Wrote the textbook and gives crystal clear notes. Go to class, fill out the notes and youll do very well. Open book midterm/final.

Bliss is a good guy who will make your life easy if you attend class. He'll have you do weekly assignments which are a cinch if you have the assignments from last year and an open book midterm and final. Know what question you're looking at, plug in the right number and you will get an outstanding mark.

Comment:
I had no idea what was going on until the midterm. He was never clear in his explanations until he gave us a chart differentiating all the hypothesis tests. I found his explanations very unclear so I went to the textbook, the only problem is he wrote the textbook and it was equally unclear.

You can't go wrong with him. My favorite prof. Easy notes (just have to show up to class), easy assignments, easy midterms (open book), and relatively easy final (also open book). If I'd have to pick out a flaw of his, it'd be that he lacks energy, so some lectures may be a little dull. The positives outweigh the negatives though.

Boring class taught by a boring man. If dull British accents put you to sleep, avoid him. He does give good notes though and his midterm/assignments are easy.

Good class, really good notes he hands out. Mandatory to go to class so you can fill in the examples he does in class. Helpful guy. Make sure you complete weekly assignments because they add up in the end.(find last years, very helpful) Overall great Prof! Would recommend!

Bliss was a fine teacher. His notes are the clearest and most helpful I have ever recieved. Sure he may have been 'boring' but to his credit Stats isnt exactly an exciting subject. He prepares you well for future courses, and is very knowledgeable on the course material (he helped right the book). Id recommend him.

Such a good prof! Wrote the textbook...so boring, rocks the fannypack, has his funny little jokes, and really TEACHES. Excellent notes, pretty much don't need the text except for the tables in the back. I highly recommend him and attending every class to see his examples.

Fanny pack aside, Bliss did a great job teaching a first year class. He explains everything really clearly and makes awesome notes with good examples. There are weekly assignments but if you have any questions he is willing to help! Midterms and finals are fair.

Bliss is pretty boring, but really, it's stats people! His notes package is amazing, you will not need the text at all, the only thing I used mine for were the tables at the back, I never opened it for anything else. He is really helpful if you have a problem and makes the subject easy and clear. I would recommend him, just maybe not at 8:30am

He is not the most exciting prof but his notes are clear and makes the text almost unneeded except for tables. If you have a question he is more than happy to help. Open book exams and if you use the example test he provides you will get a decent grade

Well he's about the most boring person on the face of this planet and the time in his classes just drags on...but his fannypack does provide for a daily chuckle, and the class is really easy, and it's easy marks. Exams are open book and his notes that you can find online are comprehensive and the textbook isn't a necessecity except for tables

Not the most exciting class ever but come on, it's stats. I think he does the best anyone could. Really good teacher - breaks concepts down so you can understand them.

so boring, wouldn't even bother going to class - you can just read the text he does not teach anything that is not in the text.
