Reviews of professor Mark Meyer

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof. Meyer is a great choice for math stats. He deserves a higher rating. The course content itself is tough, but he explained things clearly and was happy to answer qs during class and office hours. Go to TA office hours and just listen. If this is your first stats class, definitely watch YT vids to understand the stats concepts behind the math!

The class was hard. Weekly homework took a long time and was graded harshly. The lectures were fast-paced and focused more on the math and not the conceptual part of statistics. However, Professor Meyer is a really nice guy and is a great resource for connecting you to internship opportunities. His office hours are very helpful.

I like Meyers, but this class was rough. He's used to teaching higher level subjects and it shows; he spends a lot of the course explaining high school probability and logic, and then fast forwards through the actually interesting stuff. Nice guy though, heavy curve up; make sure to go to office hours for help with hw (I didn't and I suffered).

Prof. Meyer is a nice guy who's really accessible outside of class, but he made the course harder than it needed to be, I think. The lectures were fast-paced but uninteresting. He does curve grades significantly at the end of the semester. If you're not much of a math/stats person (I am not), definitely would not recommend.

do not listen to what others say. Despite the name of the class having "intro," the class is difficult. However, prof meyer will answer any question you have. Tests are hard, but reflective of practice materials. He is very caring and has a lot of office hours. The class is hard, but he makes it enjoyable and you will learn a ton about statistics.

Lectures were very fast-paced, especially toward the end of the semester, but he was very accessible outside of class, plenty of office hours available. Material itself was very difficult, and homework grading from the TA was very strict.

Lectures are dry, and not required (all slides are on Canvas), but he handwrites some proofs during class. Midterms are designed to "challenge" you (harder than problems done in class/homework), but are heavily curved. Final was changed last-minute into an easy online MCQ test due to COVID issues on campus. Professor Meyer is ok, but not great.

I would not recommend taking him for stats 140. Nice guy, but lectures were often not stimulating. and if you missed material in the lecture or did not completely understand, the textbook was often different from what was taught
