Reviews of professor Paul Savariappan

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
If it wasn't for COVID I would not have gotten an A in the class. The first test was so bad he gave us a huge curve. Avoid if possible.

The lectures were recorded from a year ago, but they were alright. The class itself is easy, but the tests are very long (gives you 4 hours to finish it). The last half of the semester he stopped posting solutions to the worksheets, so you'll have to go to office hours to see if you understand it. Didn't seem like he put much effort in online.

Paul is really kind and genuinely cares for his students. His tests and homework assignments are very straightforward and really similar to his class examples. His lectures are easy to understand and include a lot of detailed examples. One of my favorite professors this semester - definitely recommend this course.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR ST515.  He was meh.  Class moved incredibly fast, so fast that I couldn't attend in person.  Other than that it was fine.  Like an undergraduate course but way faster.

First time I had issues staying awake consistently in lectures in college. Material is dry and you were honor bound to not cheat on the assignments. Homeworks and tests and quizzes worked out online, none too difficult but you have to make yourself pay attention in class so you can do well otherwise. Professor cares, but the class is bland.

Do not take this class if you want to learn anything. He rambles about nothing for an hours. The exams are ridiculously long, he does not prepare you at all. You will not Learn how to use Rlab but you have to know how to use on tests. His examples make 0 sense. He makes quizzes 45+ t/f and multiple choice with 1hr. DO NOT TAKE
