Comment:
Prof. Logan is not the most accessible, however does reply eventually. As a human being, susceptible to errors but will always say oops, yep that was wrong - and fixes the issue/ updates the class. Be prepared to work, be consistent with the material and attend tutorial hours if you have questions - you will do fine.

Comment:
While I believe Professor Logan is a nice man, the online formatting of this course combined with the lack of responses to emails is what made this course frustrating. Email enquiries go weeks unanswered which rends understanding math concepts difficult without further collaboration. If you aren't strong in math you need to teach yourself a lot.

Comment:
This course was quite difficult and the material is not simplified for those who aren't strong in math. He reads off the slides in the lectures so it's still hard to understand the concepts. Put in the work for the quizzes and excel assignments to help boost your grade during the semester.

Not an easy class for those who aren't strong in math. I don't feel that the prof simplified the material enough because it was still quite complex and hard to follow. Do your best to do well on the quizzes & excel assignments throughout the semester so that you don't feel overwhelmed for the final. Ask for help or you will feel lost & fall behind.

Comment:
Structure of the class is fair but I wouldn't be able to tell you what I learned. The only way you'll get through the class if you're not strong in math is to work together with your classmates to understand the content. He reads off the slides in the lectures but it's still too complex. Class average for the final exam & course was extremely low.

Professor Logan simplifies statistics and makes it very easy to succeed in his class, direct focus to excel assignments even though they are worth 20% all together they are extremely tricky. Weekly quizzes are tough but the final exam is open book and 70% of the questions can be answered by taking the table numbers and inputting them into excel.

If you have to take a stats class, take it with professor Logan. Graded on quizzes, excel assignments and an open book exam (No midterm!). I absolutely hate math and managed to actually do well AND learn something. My only other recommendation is to splurge on the VOD classes if you can, they're life-saving regardless of who's teaching.

Comment:
I'd give him a B+ - A- in dad joke type material. Dadness humour is good. Otherwise, he makes everything pretty straightforward. Just do the work. There are never any surprises with quizzes/exams. Also, he gives you multiple quizzes rather than a few assignments worth most of your grade making it easy to stay alive for my fellow non-math friends.

The hardest class I've taken at Carleton, Professor Logan explains things to us as if we're math students. As someone who is not a math person I was floundering and I barely got by even with extra help.

This is the most difficult class I have ever taken at Carleton. The material is extremely challenging and hopefully the fact that the exam is open book will save me, though I doubt it. Prof is lovely, but the material is so dry and if you have zero background with anything more than basic math you will not do well.

John is honestly the best! I was worried about taking stats as a psyc major because math isn't my best subject, but he made it very simple and easy to understand. If you have the opportunity to take stats with him do it!! Easy A!!

John is a very good teacher for Stats. He knows how to teach to the students that do not understand stats very well. Its pretty easy to get a good mark as long as you do good on assignments and weekly quizzes. He does not respond to emails though.

Comment:
For a stats class going through equations step by step aids in grasping concepts. He simply reads off of the slides and explains each equation in only words. Very condescending in saying that the concepts are easy and "even your grandmother will understand this". I used a textbook from a different section and taught myself everything.

Hes a nice guy, I am a science student and so i found this class super easy. He is a bit rank oriented for my liking (always talking about prestige of university, gpa averages, stuff like that). Most confusing syllabus I have ever seen too. Overall I recommend, don't really have to watch lectures if you're in a hard science. Very easy course.

I have mixed feelings about this professor, but given his providing of an open-book final I would be inclined to recommend him. Quizzes did not seem to reflect what was taught in class, I believe he took his questions from a question bank. Assignments however were very easy as a sample assignment was provided before hand.

My first issue was the Profs decision to use a free online textbook, it was horrible and I ended up buying the book all the other Profs were using. You need to follow the lectures and take notes or you'll likely fail. His lecture slides provide all the necessary formulas but you won't know how to apply them.

This prof will make you cringe with his dad jokes but you can't not love him. I would suggest keeping up on the material because it can feel overwhelming if you try to understand everything right before the quiz. He gives sample assignments that are exactly what you need to do, just with different numbers. Exam open book and you can use the internet

I found Stats in Cegep very easy, so I was thrown off with how difficult and tedious the material was in PSYC 2002. Professor Logan really cares about his students, and gives you all the help you need, but the quizzes and final somehow didn't reflect what he said in class.

A quirky little fellow. Very jolly and adorable, you can't help but smile at his awkwardness. The topic was pretty dry and boring, don't hold that against him. I liked how there are weekly online quizzes instead of midterms. He uses your best 10 quizzes out of 13 for your final mark. Final exam is open book. Pretty nice.

Comment:
Class was sometimes tedious, but this is Statistics, of course. Don't need to be a math genius, and Prof. Logan explains what's needed. We did Excel calculation assignments, online quizzes, and an open book multiple choice final exam. Can be an easy A if you practicekeep up with the material. Jolly fellow, but occasionally has attitude...
