Comment:
Crystal clear notes, makes possibly the most boring subject in the world mildly entertaining, tells little side jokes that only 2 or 3 people will get at any one time. Midterm was very fair. What's expected of you is extremely clear. Helps on WebCT. Only drawbacks: 1) It's probability -- nuff said; 2) Lengthy and wordy notes.

Amazing!!!Attend lectures as he is so good at explaining that you don't even need to read the text to do well. However, the midterm is easy and the final was hard.

Great Professor. Was very good at posting material to WebCT, and participating in the discussion boards. Tests were fair, and did not try to trick you. He provided all of the necessary background info for the final exam, which helped the class out a lot.

There is just so much material and we are kind of left to sift through it. The final exam summary was helpful, but I think he must have curved the grades - I couldn't have passed.

Lotsa material, but gives out final exam synopsis for exam preparation. Will revise unfair grades. Unfortunately, he slows down explaining the elementary concepts, and speeds up when explaining the complex mechanics. I was always a couple boards behind.
