Reviews of professor Fode Tounkara

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Hate this course and never take it again.... The STA304 midterm is the stupidest midterm I have taken

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Nice guy but a terrible lecturer. Very hard to understand and with poor lecture organization. His slides made no sense and the posted versions were always incomplete. He didn't have any practice midterms to give us so he provided some old midterms that didn't even resemble the one we had to do...

Unclear voice through microphone, terrible and unorganized slides with lot of typo and error

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Unclear instructions, confusing lectures, and accent that is difficult to understand. The only reason I am surviving this course is the modules created by other profs in the STATS department. Be ready dedicate lots of time and energy to this course based on the utter disorganization of the prof Seems like a nice enough guy, but SO disorganized.

Tests are somewhat unfair but he does take time to adjust when needed.

Unreasonable professor makes this course unreasonable . This it the worst course I have taken

Honestly, you'd rather self-teach. He is understandable but he lacks experience which he will hopefully eventually gain. Just reads the slides and then re-writes derivations from the textbook. His slides are full with grammar errors and formulaic errors so don't refer to them during assignments and etc.

Great prof and fun accent. Midterm is reasonable but needs to be more clear on the formating. Weekly modules are a lot in the beginning if you have never taken stats before.

disorganized lecture slides that is obviously reused from other teachers, so he gets lost what is on the slides that he uses in lectures. Rarely finishes all the slides for the week and never finishes the material so it is not clear whether or not the content is required. Am I supposed to self-teach? IDK. Makes too many mistakes when teaching.

The first lecture I went to, I debated dropping out because I couldn't see the blackboard or understand a thing Prof. Tounkara was saying because of his accent. HOWEVER, after a few classes, I realized that Prof. Tounkara is actually a really great, caring Prof. After a while, you start to understand the accent, and he explains concepts really well
