Comments on the course

Thought it was a very fun, interesting course. Actually wanted to read the material and hear all the bizzare mythology.

Course Content

Probably not useful, but very interesting. If you love Greek and Roman mythology, you'll love this class.

Comments on the professor

Responds very fast. Very communicative and helpful.

Advice

Definitely watch his lectures. Many quiz questions are about small details he mentions like once.

Comments on the course

Not too bad. Class mostly consisted of reading 1 chapter of the textbook and a discussion. Sometimes there were writing assignments but they’re only like 1 paragraph. 3 exams. Kind of difficult but if you understand the content then it’s ok.

Course Content

Doesn’t have much application outside of the class.

Comments on the professor

Nice enough fella. No issues

Advice

That the writing assignments were chill af.

Comments on the course

Be ready to teach yourself - I managed to learn C++ basics, but this was hands down one of the most poorly designed and administered classes I've taken through ASU online. Can't believe I paid this much to watch 6-year-old prerecorded lectures that are freely available on the internet. The textbook readings rarely matched what you're expected to know on the exams. It's truly the Frankenstein's monster of classes - disconnected lectures, readings, labs, and exams all crudely sewn together and somehow brought to life.

Course Content

The labs could've been solid practice .At their core, they actually helped you learn. But the directions were a mess! The wording was often vague and confusing, made even worse by grammar errors everywhere. Half the labs didn't even have rubrics when we started, and when people complained enough, they slapped together some last-minute rubrics that didn't even match what the assignment directions asked for! It's like they couldn't decide what they wanted us to do - were we supposed to follow the original directions or these new rubrics that came out of nowhere?

Comments on the professor

Communication in this class was a complete train wreck. The professor kept herself at arm's length - offering just one office hour per week, conveniently scheduled on the same Fridays our assignments were due. pretty helpful for working adults taking an online program, right? It took weeks of confusion before the TAs finally gave out the professor's email address - something that should've been right there in the syllabus from day one. If you needed help understanding anything, you were just pointed to these Friday office hours that most of us couldn't attend anyway. I'm not saying all the course problems were the professor's fault, but the bare minimum of communication would have been nice.

Advice

Take the class with literally any other professor.

Prof: Aaron Childs / Fall 2021

Comments on the course

Stats is the most difficult course I have taken yet. I am leaving this review because of all the trolls that I fell for (like the two above comments) during the time of taking the course. I took it during fall COVID-19 2021 thinking it would be an easy course to complete and left it with the lowest mark on my transcript. Stats is actually the second hardest course in University - you can check the validity of my statement online by searching "how difficult is statistics?" on google.

Course Content

The course content was really brutal. A very good grasp of mathematics is required. It was not useful to learn, since most people took the course later (fourth year) and did not struggle with any courses in the meantime. Lots of formulas to remember, very, very time limited tests, difficult assignments requiring the use of difficult -to-learn statistical software like "R", if your gonna take this course, better take STATS 1LL3 first.

Comments on the professor

Dr. Childs was a really bad prof. Completely overrated person who laughed at jokes in the chat instead of teaching. Also incredibly old person who didn't put much effort into explaining questions to students and opted to "encourage" students to figure out the question for themselves, even when they were difficult. His lectures were also very quick and shallow and required students to read info in the textbook.

Advice

I wish I knew stats was a very, very, difficult course and that Dr. Child's was a very, very difficult prof.
