PK is the best & nicest Professor I had all semester. Asynchronous class and everything is open book, only homework and three tests and a bonus project. Get more than one attempt for every question, unlimited time, and at least a week for everything. Homeworks can be difficult but PK and the TA were always kind and helpful in office hours

Nicest professor at UD. All exams are open book, gives extra credit, attendance not mandatory. His teaching style isn't the best but very easy course

Honestly, I have never met a more caring professor. He stays behind to help after class and if you need an extension, he will give it to you. You really values family above all else. His lectures go really fast so make sure you are paying attention. The work is tedious but everything is open book.

PK is great honestly one of my favorite professors. Extra credit for showing up to class, open note exams, group problem based learning quizzes every so often. Wants everyone to pass and become a millionaire (his favorite saying). Homework assignments each week online super easy due Sundays.

Professor is nice and will help you but his in class teaching is fast and hard to understand once you get past the easy chapters. Computer assignments really suck but they are supposed to change vendors in the next semester so this problem may go away. Overall he is good but could improve. Teacher aid never had any reviews which would have helped.

I was so lost in this class the entire semester. He skims through the slides without hardly explaining them, he just didnt actually teach anything. Only take this class if youve taken stats before or if youre good at math, otherwise youll be screwed like me!

Hes nice but is hard to understand and I honestly had no clue what we were doing or talking most of the time. In class assignments are easy points so thats good. The in class exams are fine but the online exams and some of the homeworks are way too difficult. I wouldnt take him again...

Attendance isnt mandatory as his lectures are on capture, but want to show up for extra credit days. Online weekly homework is hard and tedious but some answers are on Chegg. Other than hws, there are 2 exams which are half online/half in class and a final which is online plus a bonus project. Hes bad at teaching and hard class for non math people

PK (that's what he's called) is one of the funniest professor I've had at UD. His stat 200 course was very easy, even this being my first time taking any stat. A majority of the assignments are online (HW and parts of the exam). Keep up with the work and you'll do fine.

3 exams and are all open books. Very easy-going and willing to help. Online assignments are quite difficult. Don't need to attend class every time.

Pretty easy for a college statistics class; however I got A's on all three exams and somehow received a B as my overall grade. You don't need to go to class or purchase the textbook. All exams are open-note/phones and laptops are allowed. The online homework/exams are pretty difficult.

Dr. P.K.'s Stat class is the one you should take if you "are not good at numbers" as he say. Show up for class and do your assignments. He gives impromptu in-class assignments, make sure are in class. Ask him questions and he is always ready to help. I wish he has more classes in my major.

You're graded on take home exams, in class open note exams, homework assignments, and a bonus project. I didn't learn a thing in the entire semester but ended up with an A. All of the homework and test questions are online so it isn't too hard to figure it out just by copying the formulas. If you need an easy A and suck at math, this is the class.

Attendance is not mandatory at all. I would buy the book because his lectures aren't too helpful if you do go.

AMAZING professor. First day of class he said you'd have to try not to get an A and he is right. You don't need to show up to class, but his lectures are informative and engaging. Definitely take this class with him!

All his exams are open book. The homework is annoying and can be difficult but if you get atleast a 90% he will give you full credit. EASY A. Attendance is not mandatory

He really wants you to get an A in the class but the online homework expectations are pretty demanding. However, he will reset your grade for it and let you redo. It was a lot of busy work to balance with my other classes but Im glad I took his class and not someone else. Show up so he knows who you are and he will help you out later on.

I would have failed this class if I had taken it with anyone else. I went to every class (you don't need to though) it was a personal preference. I also toward the end of the semester would stay after and talk to him. He really loves to help his students and see them exceed. He will go out of his way to help you and even gave us his number.
