Comment:
While Dale comes across at first as very approachable,his overall atitude is one of superiority. In his classes it feels less like he's trying to teach you and more like he's putting on a show. His lectures are disorganized to the point where we spent a month talking about the sum of squares in theory before he remembered to show us the formula.

Comment:
Dale makes poetry from statistics. He is always in good spirit, has a pacifying voice and there is much to like about his lightheartedness. But you may wonder... maybe such gospel isn't my way. There is a luxury about a philosophical approach to statistics, an intolerable one. I fare well in math, yet I never really "got" his questions.

Comment:
Prof. Stout has an amazing mind. At first his class might come across as chaotic, but then you realize the value of slowing down, and listening to him speak. His explanations of statistics have changed how I see the world, and how we use math to interact and understand phenomena. Listen to every word he says and write it all down, and read it over!

He seems like such a nice guy, it's hard not to like him as a person, but as a prof, he is really not clear and heavy ont he tricky wording for exams. No matter how hard you work, this class is frustrating and unclear at best.

Comment:
Dr. Stout is really passionate about what he studies he just isn't great at explaining. He doesn't answer questions clearly and can be rude. The assignments have nothing to do with the tests. Not very approachable. Tutoring is mandatory in this class. I've learned more in tutoring and youtube than his classes.

Comment:
Dale seems like a really great man who is super passionate about what he teaches. However, his teaching style is extremely hard to grasp and very all over the place. The textbook and assignments have absolutely nothing to do with the tests which makes it even more difficult. Nothing is on moodle so class attendance is necessary.

Dale Stout is a good teacher. You have no chance of passing since he doesn't put anything online so you need to pay attention. He gives clear enough explanations and is very helpful when you go to his office hours. Took his class for Psy. Stats and I am taking his class next semester. He's a bit eccentric but it's well worth it.

Comment:
Dale is a funny and passionate teacher. However, he should change his teaching technique as he doesn't give notes (everything comes from his head). What he says is never really clear or organized which is why you might often be surprised of the type of questions he asks in his exams. The averages are usually really low, which is why we have tutors.

Dale Stout is a good man, but a bad teacher. He really does try his best, but he just doesn't have it.

His lectures are amazing! He's going to make you study hard for good grades but his assignments are easy and participation marks are given, but his exams are insanely hard especially his final! But if you go see him in his office he will tell you exactly what you need to know for the exam but go to his office well prepared with solid questions!

He makes you work for it, but I think it's to get rid of the students who aren't serious. He's among the best professors I've ever had, making even Stats interesting.

Takes a while to get used to the way he teaches. Midterm and exams are unpredictable and require a lot of work to study and succeed on.

Stout is a funny and dynamic professor. He is very passionate about statistics and makes it interesting. It is important to go to class if you want to pass. The textbook is not necessary but he is not always clear and his explanations can be confusing at times therefore the textbook is useful to help clarify lecture notes.

Comment:
Math is not my forte. Theoretical Statistics does not come naturally to me. But after a year with Dale, I can still explain what I was tested in last fall, and I can see what we learn and understand it (and explain it to others, no less) in everyday life situations.

Comment:
Stout is a nice guy and that's it. He is arrogant when it comes to teaching. No Prof should have over half their class fail or drop consistently every term. Ask for help and be told it's "easy stuff" he's arrogant. Stats is hard but if he wasn't the one teaching it the failure rate would drop dramatically. He is not the stats God he thinks he is.

He is a nice man but he is very disorganized and teaches in an incomprehensible style. I got an A in his class only because I taught myself statistics. I did not learn from him at all.
