Comment:
I was enrolled in LaCroix?s class but I attended his class which is so much better. He makes Prob so easy. Explain everything so clearly and uses great examples that you can understand the concept right-the-way. After his lectures, it?s so much easier and faster to read through the course notes.

Comment:
I'm pretty slow. I have never attended a math class since 10th grade, 'cause I tend to not understand anything the prof says. This is the first math prof i can understand. He's amazing. He Explains the concept, makes sure everyone understands, then does AT LEAST 2 examples. Sometimes he spends a whole class just doing examples.

A good prof. His lectures are not hard to understand. Quizzes are easy, basically chapter problems in the course notes. However, exam is super hard. DOn't even know what's going on. Drop by 16% after the exam.

I think rate my professor sucked me into taking his class. He is highly overrated and at times is not even aware of the course content for the midterms. Overall Dissappointing and also the fact the rating on RMP was off by so much.

Comment:
His course material is totally misrepresentative of what he tests you on the quizzes. He also does not assign any practise questions for you, so you are forced to figure things out on your own. Office hours were unreasonable and his explanations always referred to his own points outside of the 211 course. Don't buy the textbook, useless.

Comment:
He is good at explaining the material but his in lectures examples are always easier than the quizzes which are strangely worded. Sometimes I couldn't figure out what the question was asking. But when it came to the final there were no tricks and everything we had gone over before. Hang in there and keep at it. Useless textbook, use his notes.

He's a really nice prof. He will give you time in class to do examples and ask questions if you don't understand. He's very helpful and a very nice guy. Constantly smiling and tries to be funny and entertaining. As for the course, that's another story...

Excellent lecturer. Clear, concise, thorough, and friendly. Make sure to get an early seat; students from the other sections fill up the room.

What an evil man. He seems all nice on the surface, smiling, etc, But doesn't actually teach stats in a way that is practical. Bad tests. No one can apply the material without hours of extra study (aka self teaching)
