Reviews for Erich Studer-Ellis
Average Rating:| Anonymous Course: BMGT230B Grade Expected: B January 18, 2010, 9:29 am | Great professor! A lot of fun, the notes were very easy since he gives you the packet and you just have to fill in the blanks. I had already taken stats in high school though, which made things easier, and it seemed other students were struggling with what seemed like simple concepts. Do a lot of practice problems, and ask questions. |
| Anonymous Course: BMGT230 Grade Expected: A December 11, 2009, 3:16 pm | This class isn't too difficult, but you have to understand how things work. It's not enough to know formulas, you have to understand the inner workings. Studer-Ellis is very helpful and frequently asks in lectures if anyone has questions. He tries very hard to make sure his students succeed as much as possible. That said, he can be strict sometimes. If you have an 89.9, he won't round it up to an A. If he offers extra credit, you have to be in the right lecture. However, all of this is clearly stated on the first day, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. He is tough but fair. |

He follows those notes completely. He is always ready to answer any questions you might have for him. He makes the class fun to be in. Will take another class with him, if possible. |
| Anonymous Course: BMGT230B Grade Expected: A- January 12, 2009, 10:59 pm | Studer-Ellis was a very knowledgeable and fun professor who was easy to learn from. He taught the material in a very organized manner which made the fairly difficult material easier to learn and understand. Going to lectures is important, but I wouldn't recommend signing up for the 8AM lecture if possible as it is sometimes hard to stay awake. |

The best way to tackle this class is to write terms down for each part of each equation and do a detailed note sheet, write the topic it is on and the conditions about it. If your note sheet is good you will do very well here. And also do the HWs, not doing one will leave u clueless. |
| omgitsalexis Course: BMGT230 Grade Expected: C December 7, 2008, 4:42 pm | Studer-Ellis is the best professor on campus, hands down. I have never had a professor who worked so hard to make sure students grasp information. I am a statistics/math dummy and I somehow am managing a C in this class! Do not take this course without Studer-Ellis. |
| OHill Course: BMGT230 Grade Expected: A October 30, 2008, 4:08 pm | Excellent professor with an excellent ability to teach the material. My first statistics course ever, and I totally excelled thanks to his teachings. He doesn't require a text. Instead, students pay like $20 for a copy of HIS notes, which are phenomenal. You must go to class though in order to grasp an understanding of the notes, but class attendence is well worth it. Attend his classes, go to discussions, and study (homework problems, old exams, and activity sheets) and you can definitely earn an A!! Exams are very fair and all or the majority of problems are very similary to problems covered in homework/activity sheets. Highly recommended for anyone looking to take stats. |
| fruitchaat Course: BMGT230B Grade Expected: A July 22, 2008, 12:11 pm | S-E was a really good professor. He uses a course packet that he created himself which he follows during his lectures so you don't have to write a lot and you don't have to buy a textbook. He also gives a lot of review sessions. Some tests are challenging while others are easier, but overall the course is enjoyable. |

He is always willing to help students if they need it (he holds review sessions before every homework assignment is due and before every exam). He is very energetic however his persona does tend to get tiresome towards the end of the semester. The class itself is pretty simple as long as you do the practice exams in the course packet and make a decent cheat sheet. Its importnt to do the practice exams because he often reuses questions. For the final about 1/4 or more of the questions came from the first 3 exams we had taken. |
| Miss. Ma Course: BMGT230 Grade Expected: March 28, 2008, 4:40 pm | The best teacher I've ever had here at UMD. Very serious about getting us to learn Stats and succeed. He even offered a help session for our homeworks. He offers extra credit to help boost our grade because there is not much of a curve. If you go to every class, every lecture(which are always entertaining), do every homework correctly, have a good cheat sheet, and do your best on the exams(which are hard, but similar to practice exams that he gives us), then you are going to do well. He is always there to help, and I was so thankful for that. To tell you the truth, I took another stats course and used Studer-Ellis' notes to get me through that class, and A-ced it. The course is very challenging, but its worth it in the end. |
| Anonymous Course: BMGT230B Grade Expected: A+ January 10, 2008, 3:03 pm | Took the class Fall 2007. Going to lecture makes this class significantly easier and likewise, skipping makes it way harder. Must attend discussion to turn in homework and do activities that are worth points. Tests are much easier if you do the practice exams beforehand (they're not difficult to begin with, really). He is an energetic animated professor, really makes coming to lecture worth it. Gives extra credit during lecture but doesn't announce when and you must be at your lecture (as opposed to going to a different one). Overall great class |
| toiletpaper55 Course: BMGT230B Grade Expected: December 5, 2007, 7:39 am | He's weird and goofy, tests are pretty challenging but manageable. you need to go to class to learn the material. he gives extra credit based on the distribution of grades in the class but its only given in lectures so again, you must attend. |
| Anonymous Course: BMGT230B Grade Expected: November 17, 2007, 11:09 am | If you need a stat requirement but not necessarily business stat, don't take this class, because its probably the hardest of them. But if you need to take this class, just become familiar with old exam problems and practice problems before the test, because they are very similar. People tend not to do very well on the exams, and depending on how people are doing, he will give extra credit, which is his version of a curve. Studer-Ellis is very animated and fun.. he wants students to succeed and is always willing to give extra help. A lot of students just find the material challenging and you will have to study! |
| terpfan29 Course: BMGT230B Grade Expected: A November 2, 2007, 9:35 pm | I took this class Fall 2004, and from what I hear it has changed a lot. He is a great professor. SE is very enthusiastic and wants his students to succeed. He is always accessible outside of class, each week he held a session to ask questions about the homework. Before exams, he would host a 2 hour review session. Each week there is a problem set due and an activity sheet to do in discussion on Friday. They are graded on a very lenient scale. He uses a course packet that is loaded with practice problems and old exams. If you work the problems and old exams you will do well on his tests--he often uses the same problems as from the packet, homework or activity sheets. He HATES when students arrive late or leave early. He will stop class until these students are seated or out of the room. Overall, it isn't too difficult of a class if you do the studying and practice and GO TO CLASS! They really are not boring so I don't see why anybody would have an issue with them. |
