Reviews of professor Yehenew Kifle

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Took summer online. No lectures, just watching his recorded lectures. Quiz every single week, sometimes a test a day after a quiz. After 1st day of class, was given a quiz. Quizzes/tests are reflective of practice problems in lectures. Majority of grade relies on quizzes and tests (6 quizzes, 2 tests, and 1 final). Ok class, get good at test taking

Difficult class but the class was well taught to the point that I was motivated to try actually learning about stats. Very good professor.

Dr. Kifle is a great all around professor for STAT 355. The lectures are engaging and the lecture slides he provides the class are amazing. There are weekly quizzes for this course when I took it during the fall semester, but they were all very straight forward. I would definitely recommend taking his class for STAT 355.

Dr. Kifle is a good professor. His class notes are helpful and clear to follow, he posts them online too. We had 2 quizzes and a few homework assignments, some in R. He did a few random in-class attendance checks that counted as points. We had a midterm and a final group project/presentation. Definitely have to understand the material but doable.

The meta-analysis course was only offered to graduate students before Spring 22. Kifle made a graduate student course seem really easy. Detailed PowerPoints that were extremely helpful to look back on, working through problems in class, easily reachable through email for help on code. Kifle is a harsh person though. He's snappy. Not the nicest!

Kifle is a great professor who cares about his students. His lectures are easy to understand even though he does go fast. Make sure to study the material until you understand it, and you'll be fine. He'll even help with problems during the quiz and exams if a lot of students ask about the problem.

Professor Kifle is truly amazing. He tries to explain difficult concepts thoroughly with different examples and exercises. He's also very approachable outside of class, especially during office hours. If you come to class on time and pay attention to his lectures, you'll have a good understanding of the topics covered.

Very good professor. Goes over lengthy proofs in class, but he mainly tests on the concepts and applications. Clear notes which are posted online. One of the best professors in STAT department!

Very thick accent! I do not understand a word out of him. He also assumes everyone should know everything already and does not understand that people have zero knowledge about what he is teaching. 0/10. Save yourself. Do not take class with him.
