Reviews of professor Charles South

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Hardest statistics class I've taken (I've taken almost all undergrad classes). Extremely technical coding in R with 2 major data assignment projects that take over 40 hours each. The exams aren't awful but if you aren't good at coding you will seriously struggle.

Initially appears manageable only to unravel into an ordeal of excessive advanced concepts, unclear grading, and point deductions galore without any explanation even when you try to find him in office. Terrible teaching and an arrogant demeanor compound the misery. Strongly discourage anyone from considering this unnecessarily burdensome experience

Professor South is a bit dull, but he is good at what he teaches. If you can do the homework, you'll have no problem on the tests. You get one front and back piece of paper for each test, so fill it out. Quizzes at the beginning of each class. A downside to him is that his office is about 75°F, so going for office hours is tough if you're waiting.

Charles is a really good option for any stats class. Gives good presentations and he posts them on Canvas as well. Let's you use a cheat sheet for applied stats and let's you know what you got wrong. He emphasizes common mistakes students makes on tests and truly wants us to understand the material as best as we can. He's pretty chill.

Professor South is absolutely amazing. He is supper accessible outside of class and obviously wants you to do well. If you put in the effort, he is more than willing to work with you.

Dr. South did an amazing job teaching this class. He makes it clear what he wants from his students while also challenging them to think outside of the box. If you put in the time and effort, you will succeed in this class.

I really liked this class. Dr. South was super approachable and has an open door policy. You can tell he really cares about his students since he is trying to give good advice to make sure students have applicable skills for their careers. The assignments are tough because he really wants you to know what you're doing.

Very nice person, very quick response to students. Although the class may be a little bit boring, you can find all you need from the materials he uploads. If you review the material well and do homework, you can easily get an A.

Make sure to go to class so you can get the information. I made this mistake and it took me double the amount of time to make up the slides. Pretty good teacher but sometimes is confusing, but definitely not complaining. Super nice and respected guy and you can tell he has a passion for statistics. Make sure to go and do the labs and the homework.
