Reviews of professor Neal Smith

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
You are forced to learn R, a programming language for one specific software to do statistics, that you are never going to use again in your life. His lectures are almost useless because I found myself having to read R tutorials before just giving up and letting myself be withdrawn from the class. He is also quite rude to students. Avoid.

Does well at explaining. Semi fast pace but always ask if there are any questions. Has plenty of hw but not mandatory, just to help you practice and will have a day in class just for questions. Truly a great teacher.

Smith is weird and sarcastic, but you get used to him. I'm not the best at math and made a B. He has 3 programming projects (easy As), 3 tests (tricky questions), and multiple online HW and quizzes through MyMathLab. Goes over HW and quizzes in class. Put some effort in and you'll be okay.

Dr. Smith is a cool guy. Likes anime; uses sports and health stats for many examples.  Educated sense of humor. He uses a free textbook which is  cool, but it's weak in some areas. GO TO CLASS. It's so easy to skip this class as he doesn't take attendance but you really need to be there. The way he explains things are so much better than the book.

Smith is a bit weird but hes really passionate about stats and you can tell. I never used my textbook and honestly if you go to class and take solid notes this could be a very easy class to pass.

Dr. Smith was fun. He makes complicated problems and concepts easy to understand. He allows students to bring one sheet of paper with formulas and all of the necessary information to every exam. He also gives early feedback on some assignments. Would definitely recommend him.

After going to the MAC, ASC tutors no one could figure out or help me with anything in this class. He explains things like you should already have a general idea. He has R Projects which are frustrating and a waist of time. He looks unprofessional and his communication skills need an improvement such as eye contact & explaining the work thoroughly.
