Reviews of professor Rodman Turpin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I had a really easy time in the class. Dr. T breaks down the material and his slides spell everything out for you. The book isn't necessary at all.

This was a smooth course. The prof gives homework every week, but theyre short so its not too bad. Lectures were easy to follow. The extra credit and project make this an easy A.

Rod is super helpful in office hours and his slides are straight and to the point. And there were no exams, just take home assignments. The assignments are pretty short, which I really liked, but there are a lot of them (one each week) so they can start to add up. He responds to emails pretty quickly though, so it wasnt too bad.

Dr. turpin is one of the kindest professors I've had yet, it's because of him I was able to get my summer internship. He's a wonderful teacher :)

writing this review bc its Dr.Turpin last day at UMD. one of the best professors ive had in awhile, you can tell during his lecture that he cares, and he's honestly a great instructor as well. I struggle with math and he made it bearable throughout the entire semester. Hes taking a position in GMU after spring 2022, they're truly lucky to have him.

Professor Rodman was very understand about keeping me up to date with class when I was going through covid. He teaches well and extra credit helps very much.

Solid choice as a professor. Course was asynchronous, with two lectures provided every week. Weekly HW's given that are graded for accuracy, so make sure to understand material well. Overall, an amazing and caring professor who understood the difficulties of online learning. Extra credit assignments worth up to 5% of total grade, as well.

I love this man. Turpin was an amazing professor who actually cares about the success of his students and understands life gets in the way sometimes. He's very reasonable and is always willing to help. I would take another stat class I the future if he was teaching it, and I hate math.

I usually hate math, but I ended up liking this class more than I thought. You can tell Rod enjoys teaching, and his hours were always useful. The one thing I didn't like was the group project, but I'd still be happy to take him again!

Clear teaching materials and very flexible. Great teacher all around. Would take again.

The course was good. The work wasn't too heavy, but I think that was because of the pandemic. I would take this instructor a second time.
