Reviews of professor Simon Bonner

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Mark breakdown for STATS2141A: Test 1 15%, Test 2 25%, Final 60%. Little to no opportunity to boost grades other than praying for good luck on final, material taught and textbook problems assigned bear little to no resemblance to what we're actually tested on. Slides are disorganized with tons of mistakes, which makes studying for this course hell.

wrote the final for this semester and i was able to come to the same conclusion that i had during the semester; he has no idea what he's doing

The absolute worst. I flew by all of my math and compsci courses, but stats with this guy? Absolute nightmare

It's better to read a book by yourself than his lecture.

Was really close to a pass but this guy decides not to give me a chance to regrade my past tests and quizzes. It's not even like I'm asking for a curve or extra credit even though he should have given us one anyways! Loves to see his students fail I guess. Terrible prof, do not take his classes.

Terrible professor who made me drop out of statistics. Doesn't actually teach anything. All learning was done through reading pre-posted slides. Don't take his class. Worst professor ever.

I have gone to 2 lectures and still ended with a 90(they're not worth it). Tests are 50% so study a lot for those and your assignments are the easiest things so take the free marks. I just teach myself out of the textbook and use his tutorial questions for homework, he usually copies those questions for tests.

SUCH A NICE PROF! He truly cares for his students and does put effort into explaining things in his lectures. Gives great examples. The lectures are pre-recorded but he turned one of his lecture hours on zoom into more of a tutorial.

This class was a health risk, as in it made me want to die.

This is the worst prof I have ever had. He does not answer questions, creates truly hard tests, and has dozens of mistakes in his slide deck. We were only marked 3 times which made it really hard. I know numerous people who have failed this course, and I barely passed. This is my first course that I have gotten a 50% in. Bonner is horrific.

Simon is a super nice prof! His lectures aren't super focused but you will learn a lot from his examples if you pay attention. The quizzes and assignments are helpful to keep you from slacking in the course, and the exam doesn't end up being worth a lot of your mark which is nice. Just study a decent amount for the quizzes and you will be fine!
