Reviews of professor Randy Corpuz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He assigns a lot of work but Id prefer that over 2 or 3 big tests. Very accommodating to students and offers a lot of extra credit all semester. Can see why some think hes a really tough teacher. I thought it was a good class.

Professor Corpuz is a great stats teacher. Math has always been my weakest subject, but he does a great job in explaining the concepts. As long as you pay attention in class and keep up with the textbook, you will be fine. It will still be a bit confusing, but I did a lot better in this class than I thought. Utilize the TA for help on workshops!

There's no final which is good but there's 10 very hard quizzes, 8 workshops and 3 computer labs. He also expects a lot of reading to be done outside of class and is not very available or approachable. He was fine but I would not take him again.

Prof is tough and has very high standards. He expects you to learn most of the material on your own while not posting many resources and admitting that the textbook is inadequate. The quizzes are hard and most of your grade is dependent on group work which sucks. Hard class, hard professor.

I took him for stat. The class is super super hard but he is really great at making sure the class as a whole keeps up. His layout is different like the first half is a lot of reading and the second half is almost all exercises in groups. But it made sense when you think of how much stuff was needed to do the exercises. I liked him!

Not sure if this is a "class" but Dr. Corpuz is a life-changing mentor.  He takes SOOO much time to make sure the lab was learning stuff that we could not possibly learn anywhere else. My resume and CV is stronger than anyone  I went to UMB with and I know I made it to grad school because of experience with him. Thank you!

Dr Corpuz is a great professor and very understanding. The class takes a good amount of dedication. He makes it clear on syllabus day that you need to read the textbook, and that class is only covering what is in the textbook. If you read and go to class, youll be fine, but if you dont, you probably wont do well.

Five tests, attendance, and participation! Tests are tricky but open book so not too bad. This is my second class with Dr. Corpuz and I really liked him in the large UHall setting. His wit and convostyle with students is next level which helps for an 8 in the morning class.

This might have been better if it wasnt on zoom but you could tell that he really understood how hard this was remote. The first half of the course is the hardest thing I ever did at umass. Very cool guy, hes really smart and witty.
