Reviews of professor Theodore Beauchaine

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr Beauchaine is very nice. He lectures one a week, then shows an episode of The Wire for the other class day to get a perspective on what we're learning. Learned a lot from his class! Watching the Wire really helped solidify the information. Test questions have lots of numbers rather than info, pretty specific. Discussion posts each week help too.

Horrible professor. Reads from notes, provides no practical value, doesn't know the requirements the course is supposed to meet or modern statistical packages. Spends tons of time on things which "you won't use this" (his words). I'm worse off for having spent a semester trying to learn from him. I hope he's a good researcher; he's an awful teacher

Prof Beauchaine is a nice guy. However, I personally hated everything about this class. Exams are pretty difficult. There's a lot of material. He doesn't do anything to help you prepare/study for them either. To be honest, I found watching The Wire to be pointless as it took up 50% of our class time and only made up about 0.5% of exam questions.

Dr. Beauchaine is a really nice guy, but I did not enjoy his class. Exams are pretty difficult but discussion posts and The Wire (watched once a week and one day lecture) did help. Lots of numbers and specific details from his notes (which he posts online) but overall a difficult class to get through.
