Reviews of professor Ryan Sides

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
BEWARE. RUN. He is not a good teacher. Test is not similar to homework. He makes this class extremely difficult when it does not need to be. Skip stats for the semester if he is your only option. Do not take his class.

TWU's entire statistics team is terrible. Try to find a better professor because you WILL regret taking Sides.

Sides is a difficult professor. He would go on tangents about things when you ask a question, but did not answer your question clearly. Also, the homework is different than the questions on the test, so it makes the tests a lot harder. He teaches the topics as if you have an advanced knowledge about them already. Would not take him again.

I dropped the class after the first week, here's why. Dr. Sides stated that he opened the chapter on the day we went to class, that chapter had sections, everything was due at 11:59 on THAT night. He was very clear about his gradin on the first day of class, so I did what was best for my mental health.

Stats is hard and I hate to say that Dr. Sides does not make it any easier. He gives extra credit for attendance and videos of you doing his skeleton notes, but I just don't feel like we were taught much. We met once a week and I never felt like it was useful. We had homework and a quiz every week which we had to use calculator but couldn't on exam

I was amazed by watching his Lecture video, I understood that he really wants students to learn statistics which will be applied in practical life.  TWU stat is not easy whoever you take with because it is based on how you work honestly. I did not get an A but I am happy with the level of my understanding in this class.

He was really energetic in the class and the lecture video is really important to watch where you can have an idea of all questions. In class, he will be focusing more on stats that apply in practical life. don't miss a video or class if you wanna pass. TWU Stat is tough with any professor. It was tough but it needed effort to pass.

Dr. Sides was a really great professor, very nice and truly cares about your grade in the class. However, being it was statistics, the class was quite difficult. Dr. Sides sometimes would skip past certain things leaving the class confused, but nevertheless he was pretty good. Coming to class isnt the critical either.

Dr. Sides made Statistics so much harder than necessary. I left lectures feeling more confused than before because he talks so fast and is so unorganized in the way he presents info. Be ready to teach yourself. Has quizzes do over the weekend that are so hard to do if busy. I worked hard but unless you can sell your soul to stats you won't get an A
