Reviews of professor Andrew Bower

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I agree with the above, his lectures are hilarious but dense. However, they really make you think. I disagree with the above, he gives you a grade for each text chapter you read with the end of chapter quiz. His paper was confusing mostly because students asked dumb clarifying quesitons in class that flustered everyone. He's super nice.

His lectures are completely different from the textbook material so expect to know both for the midterm and final. Personally, I don't like how his lectures are organized because they're information heavy and disorganized. There is one midterm and one final, which are reasonable. He gives out study guides so as long as you study, you'll do fine.

He is a great professor but midterms are extremely tough.

HDE 120 is dreaded by many students, but Dr. Bower makes it fun, exciting, and relevant. He is very kind and compassionate, he takes the extra time in office hours to explain complex topics. This class really depends on your TA more. His test questions are hilarious but somehow relevant. I left liking stats more.

Professor Bower does not post his slides so attendance is mandatory. His class was based on two exams (90%) and participation (10%). Exams can have tricky questions and are concept based instead of pure definitions. He was very approachable and funny. He even brought his dogs to class! I wouldn't take this class with anyone else.
