This class probably would not be such a trudge if it wasn't a 3hr night class. Mr. Frankfurt fills the class time with the entire unabridged history of the formula you are going to use before explaining it the last 20 minutes. He really botched the grades on the minitab software. Other than that the class is really easy, do the homework youll pass

Dr. Frankfurt seems like a nice person and well educated in his subject matter however, he isnt good at "dumbing it down" to explain it to his students. If you don't attend all of his classes you will quickly become lost. Furthermore, he grades with a small number of assignments, so it's a bit difficult to pass if you mess up more than one of them.

Mr. Frankfurt is quirky but is very detailed on what he is teaching. Stats is hard enough but he does a good job of showing you what he is grading you on. His examples are straightforward and just like the ones on the test. Tests aren't overloaded, just testing to see if you grasp the material. Very kind and funny.

Great Teacher. Knows what he is talking about. He is very lenient when it comes to grading his quiz/tests (usually only a couple questions long), if you show your work, even if the answer is not correct, he will give you good points. Gives homework every night, but doesn't take it up. Will go over any questions on the homework that you need him to

Horrible teacher. I do not recommend taking him. When he speaks you cant understand him because he mumbles. Also, If you have questions during class he will tell you he doesn't have time to answer them before class gets over even though we get out a half hour early every night. He could of used that extra half hour of class to answer questions.

Awesome teacher. Just from hearing him speak you can tell he REALLY knows his stuff. Ingenious, I believe is the word to describe him. The first class, you might notice he's not a good public speaker, but after you get past that, he's an incredible teacher. I would venture to say that he's probably the best math teacher I've had, and I hate math.

Good teacher. He sweats profusely, but if you can take notes and do your homework you will do great. He only has like 3-4 questions on his tests. Overall good guy.

Very boring. Doesn't talk well so it's hard to understand him. He seems to be out of breath all the time. Will stop class to answer questions but explains them the same way he did to begin with. Unless you're good at teaching yourself, I wouldn't suggest taking this professor.

Very boring, sounds like the pig from toy story. couldn't get past his voice to concentrate. does stop class if you have a question, but over all isn't very good at speaking clearly which makes it hard to understand.

Statistics is not going to be exciting & he doesn't make it that way either. Frankfurt is a good teacher and he knows his stuff. Come to class, take notes, and do the homework. All tests questions are similiar to HW. Study the HW and notes and you should do fine. Nice guy.

Nice guy. His class is really easy if you come to class. He throws everything at you and will stop the class if you have a question. A little boring, but still a great teacher.
