Reviews of professor Joseph Consiglio

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Professor Consiglio seems very passionate about statistics but isn't the most thorough when it comes to explaining the material. All notes are handwritten and the lack of structure makes it somewhat difficult to follow along. The lectures make the material seem simple but the homeworks are semi difficult. Exams are straight forward.

Dr Consiglio is the entire reason I love statistics and am pursuing it for my career. He is an amazing teacher who cares about his students and cares about his job. Through my entire college experience he has been by far my favorite professor, if you have the option to take one of his classes, definitely do it.

Joe is a great professor, very helpful and accessible. I wouldn't recommend this class though for students with a non-math background who have to do one statistics class for their graduate degree. I've seen lots of such students drop out halfway through, unable to handle the math, when they might have been better off doing STA 502 or STA 527.

Very chill, a few homeworks with a lot of time to do them, one in class midterm and a take home final. Very easy if you have prior coding knowledge.

He is a good professor and teaches well, but very tough grader. There are not many homeworks, but they take hours to complete, and are graded pretty heavily. Midterm and final have take home components, however they are super long and also take forever to complete.

Most useful class

He may be ok with regards to reciting his notes and is open to helping on homework but when it comes to his tests, he's unpredictable. I have taken two of his classes and in both cases, there have been moments where he gave materials on his exams which have hardly been discussed previously. He's not the best and you have to learn more out of class.
