Comment:
It mightve just been because of remote learning, but he was very unclear in his lectures and materials provided. The amount of mistakes he made were astronomical, and I couldnt grasp onto what he was explaining. Hes a genuinely nice dude, just not a good professor in my opinion.

Professor Gwynn is very knowledgable and is very clear when he teaches statistics which makes it super easy to learn! He also shows that he cares about his students and is a very fair grader. I recommend taking his class if you need statistics!

Comment:
Dr. Gwynn taught stats slowly and explained concepts well. However, the course was not organized effectively (labs, textbook and lectures were not well coordinated). Aplia and assignments were easy grade boosters and exams were fair as long as you did the practice. His sense of humour was cute. This course was not as bad as I expected it to be.

For a mandatory statistics course this professor does not properly or slowly teach content. He makes statistics so much harder than it should be

Comment:
Dr Gwynn Insisted on grading a stats assignment due before the lesson for the content of it was taught (due to a snow day). When approached and challenged about the fairness of this, he had a dismissive attitude that seemed to boil down to its in the textbook, you should know it. Whats the prof for if I can learn it all from the textbook?

Max Gwynn does a really good job of teaching stats clearly, however it's important you attend lectures otherwise it'll be hard to understand whats going on. Assignments/labs/APLIA are easy mark boosters. For the exams read over the textbook as the MC/fill in the blank questions come from there & go over examples for the calculation portions.

Comment:
Dr. Gwynn was a great professor. He was very clear with the material he taught in lectures, and was extremely helpful when it came to preparing us for midterms or the exam. If I can emphasize anything, it's that you NEED to go to class or you will not do well. The material isn't terribly difficult, but it's also not easy; he helps you learn it well

Genuine prof, quite engaged with students. Very likeable guy. I think he can go a bit too fast. I wish he would've slowed down to emphasize important points. Tough exams - comb through the text, the mc ques are tough and they come from the text. But there are easier ways to earn good marks besides the exams. I think he did well with a tough course.

I loved him. He's very approachable, unlike some proffs who are more intimidating. He's very good at explaining concepts and is always there for extra help. He has a nerdy sense of humour which makes a world of difference in a class as dry as stats.

Comment:
Quite helpful, but has a tendency to spoon-feed information. For a social psych research class, it covered surprisingly little social psych. (If you end up taking PS397, you'll appreciate all the time and energy you put into designing scales and surveys.) One thing that's particularly frustrating: "Use APA, but do all this stuff differently."
