Reviews of professor Duncan McCollum

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Duncan was a very helpful instructor and gave great feedback. If you are interested in research and want to learn, you will thrive in this environment. And if you hate research, he will still be a great fit as the class itself is not hard at all. Just be warned of the papers! The lab is long but it goes by quick. You ABSOLUTELY have to attend class

Professor McCollum is a good professor. The exams can be a little tough, and the final has a written portion. However, he gives no homework. Do the readings and the lectures online and you'll easily get an A or B in the class so long as you do the other assignments (which aren't hard), the discussions really help your grade as long as you do them.

Duncan was an awesome choice to learn stats, he goes over why stats are important and the practical ways you can use them, also he is very accessible outside of class. Will go over things you do not have a grasp on yet and ensure you are ready.

Duncan did an absolutely terrible job structuring his class. The textbook is absolutely horrible and mostly uses examples that don't teach you anything. Duncan has video lectures where he goes over his extremely vague powerpoints. If you can figure out what you're supposed to be learning, then you'll do great in this class. But good luck

Great professor and an even better dude. Very clear and concise with his explanations, expectations, and grading. You can tell he loves what he does. Super helpful if you ask him!

Really cool professor with interesting lectures. Duncan organizes his lecture to include in-class participation and activities which makes learning really easy. He makes his own exam questions but always dedicates class time to go over the material before the day of exam.
