Reviews for Abram Kagan
Average Rating:| Anonymous Course: STAT400 Grade Expected: B July 14, 2011, 2:20 pm | This class was like going to prison, sodomy and all. Impossible to learn anything from lectures or notes. Be prepared to study very hard on your own. |

Once in while I would pick something up but it was pretty hard to do so without some pre-reading. Eventually I would just skip class and read the textbook to learn whatever material was needed to do the homeworks, which themselves were extremely excessively challenging and often time-consuming. |

He did not post the proper edition of our textbook online and so many students (such as myself) bought the wrong textbook. I only figured this out after the first homework, which I failed because the problems did not match in the two textbooks... when i asked prof kagan if it were possible to drop a homework since it was his fault that some of us had failed in the first place he replied: "one or two percent of your grade is no great tragedy." I guess it wasn't in my case but I hope it didn't affect someone else. As for the class itself, the tests are really, really easy and if you're the type of person who can sit through a boring lecture you should do fine on the homework, which is worth a whopping 35% of your grade. |

Goes through many examples and lets you know what's coming up on tests. Lecture is difficult to follow but with a decent TA and using the textbook it is more than manageable. |
