Reviews of professor Charles Linville

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Talks at you, on how to do math, no practice problems. Doesn't really explain things very well that would make sense to someone with little stat background. This man likes to ramble on and he never answers questions clearly. He barley knows how to teach a class. I went to his office hours and he traded his regular office hours to have meetings.

Class was very easy. Homework is short and if you still have trouble, you can post questions to Piazza. Got As on exams after only studying an hour, just know all the main calculations. Professor's a really nice guy. Rambles a bit, but I thought it was interesting. Lecture's optional anyway b/c material's easy.

One of the most unorganized classes Ive ever taken. The professor rambles on for 50 minutes and no material is taught. The PowerPoints arent helpful and he talks about the concepts. We never practice problems, so its hard to understand the material. If we practiced problems and walked through each step, the material wouldnt be hard.

Charles is a really amazing person who seems very kind, however the way this course is suppose to be designed I felt like should have been a way to apply statistics to the biology and biomedical scientists. As this is his first year teaching this course it seems like it is a LESS in depth than even stat 100 as we slowly learn material

Professor Linville is a nice guy who genuinely cares about your progress. However he does seem a bit too advanced to be teaching STAT 212, his explanations are a bit complex but he is a very nice guy and is always willing to help, which is quite rare.
