Comment:
If you are reading this and signed up for Crissinger please drop his class while you still can. His homework assignments are so long it takes about a day to fully complete it for no reason. His lectures are boring and lack explanation for everything. I'm almost about to graduate and he is the first class I've ever failed in.

Comment:
Bryan Crissinger is by far the worst professor I've had at the University of Delaware. His lack of explanation of Stat201 led me to fail his class. I'm about to be a senior at University of Delaware and I took many classes. I never had a class so unorganized and confusing as this one. If your taking Stat do not take Crissinger he sucks!

Comment:
I would take any other professor over him. I had this class asynchronous and it was the hardest class I have ever taken. He does not care about any of his students or how they are doing in this class. Everyone fails every exam and he does not seem to care at all. I would recommend taking this class with literally anyone else.

Comment:
This class was hard for no reason. I am a good student but I found this class and the professor to be unreasonable. I would easily spend 6 hours doing hw for this class and the hw were graded so harshly. PLEASE TAKE THIS CLASS WITH A DIFFERENT PROF!! He's a nice dude that helps during office hours but the tests and hw are so hard.

If you're looking for yet another math prof at ud who is smart but shouldn't be a prof, take his class. He's nice but you have to buy HIS $40 e-textbook with errors. It also doesn't make a lot of sense, and he just reuses old videos from last year/ the fall semester and posts them to watch w/ no class time. I can't wait for this class to be done.

Comment:
do NOT take ANY class with this professor. the class itself is painfully boring. everyone fails. dude is nice i guess but cannot teach. the textbook is one that he wrote (but has not been published or approved) & it is the most abrasive, outdated thing ever. there is a test every week that he grades for correction, despite claiming he doesnt.

Comment:
honestly cannot stress this enough if you love yourself please do not take this class with crissinger. I know so many people who got Fs. Lectures are dry and hard to follow, skips things assuming you would just know what they mean/ how to do them. He wrote the textbook himself, so you already know what thats like. Assignments are impossible.

Comment:
The man cannot teach. The lectures were hard to follow, he just assumes you know how to do certain things. The assignments he makes you do were never explained; therefore, I was thoroughly lost. I know multiple people who have failed this class! Do not recommend! Take Ilvento if you can!!

Class was taken all online. He was very helpful during office hours and was very willingly to meet with students outside of them if you need extra help.

Comment:
This class was fine. Asynchronous lectures were posted each week, and there was a quiz on the previous week's material each Thursday. My one issue with this class was that it was marked async for registration, but we had to take a quiz every single week Thursdays at 8:50am. Very frustrating, but a good class and caring professor otherwise.

Only grades in this class are quizzes and exams. Be prepared to study hard and take full advantage of the textbooks practice problems. He was very willing to meet for appointments outside of office hours.

Comment:
Stat at UD is way harder than it needed to be. Understanding basics of statistics is important, but even for 200 level stat classes, that is not nearly enough to pass. Crissinger is not willing to help at all with minitab assignments, is the opposite of sympathetic to the students, and tries to trick you on the next-to-impossible exams.

Crissinger was great for a while, but when I began asking for help he told me that I was doing things last minute (even though I spent 6+ hours doing each homework) and that he couldn't help and told me that was his "$0.02". His homework quizzes are graded harshly and brought down my grade a lot. Does offer 2% extra credit.

Comment:
HW quizes are graded very harshly, wish I knew that. I had to study his rubric to find out what he wants to see on the hw more than learning material some days. Trying to juggle this class and science classes was very difficult. Be prepared to spend at least 6 hours a week doing HW like he expects, the material is not too bad to understand.

Homework is incredibly time consuming and his homework quizzes were impossible to do well on. Do not take this class!

Only graded things are homework quizzes that take hours to finish, and then you rarely get anything above a fifty on. Other than that it is similarly unforgiving exams. I had to teach myself most everything from the textbook, and even after dumping double-digit man-hours a week I ended up with a failing grade.

For the love of God please don't even consider taking this class with Crissinger. This might possibly be the worst professor I have ever experienced. There is no way to bring your grade up if you don't do well in the exams. Please from student to another student reading this, don't ever let this man teach you.

This guy right here might possibly be the worst professor to step into the state of Delaware. I would recommend that all costs to never ever take this class with Crissinger. The most dull and boring classes of all time. Test are had and there are no curve. HW quizzes hardest thing. Highest fail rate for a class I have ever seen. Don' do it. Please!

Bryan is possibly the nicest teacher I've met at UD. He is very quirky and passionate about statistics, and while the class itself is kind of dry, he spends decent energy making it a bit more interesting and helping students with questions, especially via email. Really fantastic guy, and I can't imagine a better guy to teach your first stat class.

Comment:
Took his class on winter session. I feel like the class is relatively easy than others that I have taken so far at UD, two midterms, one final, and 12 'HW quiz'. The quiz is easy if you DO YOUR HOMEWORK (just copy N paste your hw solutions). I made 15/15 to most of them, make sure to write all the formulas, not just the answer. DEFINITELY TAKE HIM!
