Reviews of professor Yehenew Kifle

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Prof. Kifle is a good teacher, the class is just SO EASY. like read the slide/pay attention during lecture, do the HW (solution are posted before you turn it in), and you will do fine at both quizzes and exam. Discussion are the worst use of my time ever i don't even bother going its not worth the 2% participation points.

Winter Semester. Uses verbose online lectures to supplement in-person teaching. Online lectures are very bad due to his thick accent and lack of preparation - evident as his lectures fail to model either slides or textbook. Does not properly define variables and fails to show how where his formulas are derived from. Grade is padded by HW and Quiz.

Very concise and clear lectures with examples that clearly reflect tests. Being in good attendance and checking work in discussion makes for easy A's. Gives a formula sheet, all you have to know is what each variable means. This is the easiest statistics can be made with the least work involved. Tests are simple. He's also just a really nice dude.

The power point slides can be slightly confusing, but they are very thorough and explain everything necessary for the course. Rough presenter; honestly this class works well with me skipping class and just reading the lecture slides. Quizzes and exams are consistent with what was given on the homework. Attendance was mandatory only for discussion.

STAT 418 is pretty difficult. But Kifle is a great teacher.

Professor Kifle is really good but you must want to learn the material. He gives you everything you need to be successful and literally tells you exactly how. You must work in this class. If you do, you will learn a lot!

Accent so thick he needs to take classes to speak clearly. Forced students to use Lockdown Browser, which is well known as a unstable and destructive piece of corporate malware. Should not be allowed to continue teaching.

Kifle made the course material very easy to understand and was also very helpful in office hours. I wouldn't say his class is an easy A because you need to understand the material well enough to perform well in quizzes and exams, but studying the lecture slides is all you need to get good grades. If you're thinking about taking him for 355, do it!

He lets you know what the class consists of and with two classes a week, one is for quizzes and the other is only a lecture, however every once in a while he will have an in-class assignment so you should show up. He is a fairly strict professor and isn't the nicest guy.
