Reviews of professor François Gendron

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Although he uses the book, he just reads the examples of the book, he does not do them manually so that everyone understands, he keeps reading not only the material but also the numerical examples of the textbook.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He does not provide clear explanations for his students, a lot of student are forced to go to class just because he does pop quizzes.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Strict grading, no partial marks for students in the midterm. He does not explain the material in any tangible manner, he speaks too fast and fails to deliver.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof is nice but not the best at teaching stats because the slides are mostly theory with little or no examples. Mostly taught myself the course content using material from other sections. Also, other sections had a clear advantage because their prof gave them answers for all of the assignments. Lots of deliverables but that's for all sections.

0 ability to convey the material in any clear manner, the professor reads 3h straight. Avoid this professor

that is a difficult class, lectures are heavy, and too much reading for a statistic class.

To get an A, you must be your own professor; you need to read the book at home and do the exercises on your own at home. Attending classes is forced, but not useful to comprehend the subject because of the professor's non-ability to communicate the subject.

Heavy lectures, pop quizzes are the worst of the class; because not only you do not understand during his lectures, but also, you are graded on that same lecture. Just avoid this professor, he is not competent.

Professor Gendron does not give any examples in class. He just reads the slides and gives a pop quiz at the end of the class. The class average for the midterm was 35% compared to 53% for the other section. It is inexcusable that there is this much disparity between both sections of the course.

I suggest you opt to just practicing outside the class; you clearly learn more outside the class than inside. The professor reads too much, there is no tangible explanation, no good examples, poor explanations, and most importantly he talks fast.

Professor Gendron is not clear at giving adequate lectures. There are very few examples taught in class, and a large majority of students dropped the course because they could did not learn anything. Everyone should be refunded money for taking a class with this professor.
