Reviews of professor Matthew Eastin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
this was an online class with pre-recorded lectures so we never met over zoom. This is not an easy A course. You have to watch the lectures if you are going to do well on assignments. No quizzes. 3 tests and writing assignments. You will have to put in the work if you want a good grade in this class. He offers extra credit but not much.

He posts the lectures and assignments at the beggining of each of the three units, up to you to keep up. The work is tough if you are not familiar with it, and you HAVE to start early to prepare for the tests and assignments. He knows his stuff and has helpful zooms before tests/assignments, but be ready to teach yourself a little.

Eastin was awesome and I loved his class this semester. Concepts could be difficult, but he took the time to REALLY explain every single thing. Tests can also be difficult, so make sure to really study. I barely finished with an A. I wish I had gone into office hours more, but when I did he was helpful and very kind. Take 309 in person with him!

Professor Eastin was extremely helpful in this class. The TA's were also amazing. He did so much in helping me get a minimum of a 70% in order to pass the class and not drop it. This was not an easy class for me and it requires a lot of studying but as long as you put in the effort and show that to your TA and Professor Eastin you should be good

Make sure you turn every assignment in. He does not take late assignments. Learned that the hard way. The tests are hard and he gives you a shortish amount of time to take them. Make sure you get the online textbook, easier to sift through the book. Also, watch the exam reviews they help a lot. Don't blow this class off as it is required lol.

Professor Eastin is awesome! Wish I could have taken him in person, the lectures are not bad as long as you keep up! There's a clear schedule with easy pacing, 3 tests with optional final to replace lowest test grade, 2 assignments that are more like projects but with clear expectations. If you've taken a stats class before, you'll have no trouble.

Prof Eastin remained helpful even with the digital barrier of an online class. He's chill. I enjoyed this class because there wasn't much to DO so it was easy to pick up the little bit of content we had to learn. First exam was difficult but you get the hang of it. Super easy as someone who hates math. Take it!

Professor Eastin is a great option for this class! Watch the videos and read the textbook (which he wrote) and take notes and you'll be fine. Go to review sessions and office hours if you need help on assignments because they will literally go over it with you! Put in the effort and you'll get an A.
