Reviews of professor petros hadjicostas

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Notation is important and you should not rely on the textbook all the time and study his notes. The notes have the correct notation and methods he wants you to use. You will lose many points for wrong notation. There are 2 tests and a final exam. Come to class as he adds extra things to his notes like additional proofs that may be on the test.

3 weeks into online classes and I had to miss a quiz. Since I had been active in the class Dr. Hadjicostas emailed me to see if I was doing okay. First time a professor has done that for me at UNLV and it shows that he cares about his students.

Pr. Hadjicostas is an amazing professor! One of the best one's I have taken so far. His grading criteria is clear. He motivates students to study and wants students to understand the material and actually LEARN! He is also really funny and loud (but that's good because it makes you focus in class hahaha). He is always available to help students.

Dr. Hadjicostas is an incredibly smart person and a great professor. That being said, his class is VERY hard and you will have to dedicate time to be able to pass. His recorded lectures are pretty easy to follow along with but if you fall behind it will be hard to keep up. Watch your notation and follow his examples and you'll be fine.

I really like him. He is very strict about notation, but at the end you will be better off for it. His notes are top tier. For STAT411, you can't go wrong with.

Dr. Hadjicostas does not care about students understanding the material. He's a stickler for notation and will stand in the way of your learning just so he can impose his indescribably strict way of grading. You can completely understand a problem and get all the information correct only to get zero credit because you made a small notational error.

A lot of homework but you only have to submit some of them. You should still do all the homework since it could show up in the weekly quiz. Hes very knowledgeable and made his expectations clear. Also one of the most well-structured classes Ive taken. I never thought Id enjoy a stat class but I genuinely enjoyed his class.
