Comment:

I'd say Molenda is one of the better stats profs out there. His notes show a lot of unnecessary theory and he always forgot to post them before class, but they're decent. Tests are fairly straight forward, can easily do well if you practice enough. He's a pretty smiley and personable guy too!

Comment:

Molenda is a very nice guy. Not a great teacher. His lectures are basically him reading over complicated proofs of equations and unclear definitions. His notes aren't great either; I can guarantee you'll get lost many, many times. Tests weren't bad, but since the material is tough to grasp, it keeps you worrying. This class wasn't the best..

I hate statistics but I loved Dr. Markus! He answers all questions if you come to him for help. He's a great lecturer - he explains things very clearly for the most part and is super funny. Sometimes he's slow posting notes. Great prof though! Try going to class as it will be easier on you in the long run even though stats is really boring.

He's a pretty good prof and he seems like a genuinely nice person. I liked him despite the fact that statistics is horribly boring. It seems like it would be a hard subject to teach, but he did a good job at explaining the concepts and providing lots of practice exams prior to the midterm/final. I highly recommend him!

I loved this class!! Markus is always willing to help! And he makes an effort to help EVERY student, which is awesome :) . The textbook wasn't very helpful for me.. I used it once or twice for MyStatLab.. and MyStatLab has some stupid questions but most are relevant to the course... other than that, Highly highly recommended :)

His lectures are very boring but that's stats, not him. He posts his notes online so you don't need to go to class. The textbook is useless (and expensive). His midterm was pretty easy, however the final was very hard. I wouldn't recommend taking stats or having him as a prof.

Markus is a really good prof, as he's always enthusiastic and willing to help. His lectures aren't boring, stats is. He posts all the notes online but answers to example questions are blank to encourage attendance. But he'll post all the completed notes after said class so you don't really have to go or even pay attention. Highly recommended!

Markus is a great professor,who is very nice guy and is very helpful with answering questions. Unfortunately his lectures are boring. His notes are just pre typed on microsoft word with some missing section. Examples he does during lecture are already typed out on slides. He posts all completed slides online. attendance not mandatory

Markus was amazing! Great prof for calculus. Extremely clear, and very helpful, even over email. Don't buy the textbook though! Don't need it! Exams are fairly hard, but otherwise an amazing prof.

funny guy, he gives note very clearly and post them on the website,though it always 1 week later...explain the contents very clearly and is always willing to help, but the final exams are so tricky, much more difficult than the in-class example and the sample exam pratices

Markus Molenda was a nice professor. The homework on WebAssign.com was easy. His examples were clear. My problem was that I already took the material in high school, so I was bored stiff. He did not seem to like it when I asked questions in class, but answered them out of class. The midterm and exam were very long and hard, so make sure to study.

Nice guy, speaks perfect English which is a plus, and is pretty clear in his teaching. Assignments are much more in depth than class examples though. All around a great teacher. Don't buy the textbook though.

Awesome teacher. I had his class first thing M W and F and I'd say it's a great start of day. He's better than most of the other profs in the math department

Calculus. You can't really blame him for the bad stuff on here, it's calculus. Honestly one of the funniest, wittiest professor in U. Yes calculus is hard. But he is better than any other Math 114 prof out there. Take him too

Tough class but its calculus what else did you expect? The fact that he speaks perfect English was by far the best quality a person could ask for in a math class. His tests and homework are harder than what we cover in class thats the main downside. He's a pretty fun prof as well, likes to make jokes. I'd recommend him.

4. One of the worst professor I have encountered, Notes are simply and exams bust your, you know what, as well as his assignments. MASC courses are useless since they are his notes the other professor is using which means they are simple and not a fair representation of Math 115.
