| Additional Comments |
Statistics is not an easy class, in fact its a terrible class. I am absolutely horrible at Math but passed this class due to Dr.Musalia's instruction.
Dr.Musalia is a nice man. He has a deep accent and it is sometimes hard to understand him but he is aware of this and if you bring it to his attention, he'll slow down down or repeat himself until you understand. The formulas/problems are also very complicated but he takes it one step at a time and will help you if you have any problems. He also allows you to construct a sheet of formulas to use on the tests.
His tests are very difficult. They consist of twenty-five multiple choice questions and one or two large problems. I received Ds on all three tests but, as previously stated, I'm a horrible Math student. Multiple people in the class made As.
He also provides you with the opportunity to complete three homework assignments, that are worth as much as the tests. If you follow directions on the assignments, it is not difficult to get a high grade. These assignments saved my grade.
If at any time during class, he goes on a tangent or off topic about a random, obscure fact or things that are happening in the world, write it down. These are often extra credit questions on the tests and are worth as much as ten points. They are wholly random as one even included a question relating to Seinfeld.
It has been rumoured that if you attend class everyday that he will give you a C regardless. I cannot confirm this since the homework assignments upped my grade but he does take attendance every day. He also said that he will offer "help" with grades for students who do not miss a day of class.
Overall, I was satisfied with Dr.Musalia and would recommend him as an instructor.
