Reviews of professor James Curley

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I found Curley to be very sweet and accommodating. His lectures do run quite long, and I personally found his oversimplification of concepts to be redundant, but he explains things extremely well and makes it easy to understand. Quizzes are difficult, but the class an easy A. If I would've attended office hours I would've gotten a better grade.

Great professor! He has a lot of TAs and office hours. As long as you watch all the lectures and keep up you will do fine.

The best stats class I could've taken. Very clear explanations in the videos, goes through example problems that are very similar to the quizzes, just a really nice guy. Always accessible on chatter and answers questions very quickly. The class is only based on a quiz every week. NO EXAMS :D I was actually able to learn without stressing.

He was honestly a great teacher! If you pay attention to the lectures or follow along, then you will understand what is going on. The quizzes are open note and have no time limit. Even though coding can be grueling, I followed along the videos and learned so much! He was also lowkey funny because he is British so he uses British slang.

Mr Curley is fairly new at CC, but is accessible and makes a real effort to make sure we understand the work. He is a fair grader and has ample office hours.

Curley is a good professor, but his lectures can be unreasonably long as they are all pre-recorded and can span upwards of 25-30 minutes per module with around 4-7 videos a week. He simplifies statistical concepts really well, but does so in ways I think are sometimes redundant. Overall, definitely an easy A if you apply yourself.
