Michael Czekanski

Professor Czekanski is very knowledgeable on the topics, but at times he would go in-depth to the point where you could get lost very easily. The lectures are long, and it is very confusing. For a class that is coding-based, we spent very little time actually learning the coding and much more time watching the chalkboard.

This class was not that hard overall. The exam was exactly what we did in class and worth 35% of our grade. It gets hard to pay attention in class because the lecture style isn't very interesting especially because it's all coding. Czekanski is very smart and very knowledgeable but I don't think he was the best person to teach an intro stat class. He was very accommodating when it came to homework though.

I really enjoyed learning to code in R BUT I don’t think Czekanski is a very effective teacher. We just copied what he typed on his computer and he wasn’t great at answering questions. The homework assignments were pretty straightforward and there was no other work outside of class, besides the final project. That being said, we had a midterm exam that was 35% of our final and a completely new level of applying the concepts. It felt far beyond why we had done up to that point in class. Maybe he’ll make changes going forward but I’d recommend a different prof
