Comment:

Ray is a great professor. Moves through a lot of material quickly, but that has more to do with the nature of the class. Very clear about what will be on exams & test reviews are very helpful. You must practice the Excel problems if you want to do well. Grade is based on 4 exams only, no drops and no extra credit is offered. Study & you'll be fine.

Comment:

I highly recommend taking BUS252 with Dacey. He goes fast and uses the "Excel lingo", but I got used to it in no time. He's always happy to clarify, go back a step, or even re-do entire problems, just ask! The only grades are from 4 exams, so that kinda sucked. If possible, take a 50 minute class. It was hard to stay engaged for 75 minutes.

Go to class to figure out what the point of the section is and then just go to the tutors. Honestly, the tutors should be getting high wages as they are the ones who make understanding possible. Interesting and intelligent man, but terrible professor.

BUS 252 has a bad reputation at University of Idaho for being extremely difficult, but honestly it is what you make of it. For Dacey's class my best advice would be to use the tutoring options that are available to you they really do make the class much easier, and practice practice practice the problems he only grades by test scores no homework.

Only graded by 4 exams so you must pay attention in class AND THEN attend tutoring if you need help. Tutoring helped me out tremendously I cannot stress it more on future students of this course. Dacey is a genius and will help if asked by student.

Dacey is easily the best professor I have ever had the pleasure of having class with. He literally was what kept me going through the tough semester. Funny, incredibly smart, and a stellar teacher. I previously failed this stat class, but he simultaneously was able to teach me the stuff and somehow make it my most interesting class yet.

He is so much fun in class, but talking to him outside of class you feel like there isn't anything that he doesn't know about. He is so genuine and helpful. I love this prof.

A nut about stats and how it relates with EVERYTHING. Great teacher and more than willing to help you if you ask for help. Go to his office and talk with him sometime. Strict on grading but fair.

Really knows statistics. Gets a little "deep." Allows cheat-sheets.
