Reviews of professor Charles Linville

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
He is a really nice and intelligent guy. However most lectures only have 20 of the 200 students in there because they're so useless. Homework does not help us learn concepts its just more coding which doesnt make sense for a math class. Why do we code so much? Exams are very disorganized along with lectures being pointless. Still a great guy.

As a person, seems like a great guy. As an instructor, not that great. Really unorganized course. Homework was easy, but lectures were pointless because the presentation of the material was all over the place - it was a LOT easier to just teach yourself from the slides. Wouldn't ever take a class by him again, but still - seemed like a nice person

He rambles for 25-100% of the lecture. He does not go through practice problems. 10% of students attend lecture, because they are useless. The homework and exams are completely different (homework is (mostly) easy coding/small calculations, tests are short answer). He answers questions in a long winded and useless ways. OTOH, he is fairly nice.

This man does not talk about what is on the exam until 2 days before the exam... Has deferred week 1 and week 2 homework all the way to week 5 because of how behind we are in lecture. That being said, he is a great individual and truly does know a lot about statistics. But, as it is his first time teaching this course, there is room for improvement

I took stats in high school... I am even more confused about stats now than I was before I took this class. I guess that's what happens when you know more than the professor. Which everyone does... He rambles about 95% of the lecture about irrelevant subjects and then uses STAT 200 powerpoints to "teach." If you want to learn stats, take STAT 200.

I have no idea whats going on in lecture ever because the professor doesn't really teach. I feel bad saying this because the professor seems like a good guy, but I've never been more stressed for a class thats not one of my main major classes. If you can I would suggest waiting to take this class until the university gets it figured out.
