Easy to understand
Hybrid class
Cons: Difficult quizzes
Professor Guyse is one of the best "math" professors I have ever had. He's a nice person and explains the material in a way we understand. He uses practical examples so it's not difficult to keep up.
The quizzes were VERY difficult since they are taken BEFORE the material is covered in class so students do the reading. I would've gotten an A in the class if it wasn't for the quizzes, don't worry though, the midterm and final are much easier. Personally I think the midterm was easier than the final, so I recommend to be extra prepared for the final.
Study Guide for Midterm/Final
He speaks perfect English
Online Quizzes
Curves Quizzes
Cons: Quizzes can be difficult
Final is a bit rough
I know from failing Darbandi that this guy is 100x better. Darbandi is interesting, but his class is hell in comparison. Other Tom302 professor that's pretty easy is Halati which i heard from friends. This class is basically made up of just online quizzes and 2 tests, midterm/final. the midterm and final have study guides and the tests are exactly like the study guides except changes in numbers. The hardest part of the class is probably the online quizzes which requires intense Index and Googling skills. The questions on the quizzes seem self made which make it difficult to find answers online. He gives a decent curve on the quizzes at the end of the quarter though. He speaks perfect English, which is a surprise to me since 80% of my professors i barely understand, so you can follow along with his lessons easily. IMO he looks like the evil professor from Amazing Spiderman 1 the movie.
Tells you exactly what is going to be on the midterm and final
Practice exams are very similar
Cons: HARD quizzes (MUST read or be a professional googler to do well on these)
I personally loved Guyse. He is witty, smart, and blunt, with a mild sense of humor- my favorite type of person. In his class, there is such thing as a stupid question and if you ask it more than once, you will look like an idiot. Don't be that person. His lectures are straight to the point and the examples he uses are relevant to both the exams and real-life. There are no games played in this class, he tells you the high likelihood of something showing up on a test and it's up to you to either test the probability that he's lying (HEHE C WHUT I DID THER) or just study exactly what you do in class. The choice is simple. Grade received: A
Cons: -quizzes are extremely hard
-information learned on quizzes is not the same on midterms, i saw it as busy work.
-Only need the textbook for quizzes not midterms
We only met once a week for our hybrid class, which was nice, and got out early. The quizzes, however, were extremely hard. He lists the chapter you will be quizzed on, but its a hot mess. He will pick out sections from each chapter to study which will only have you flipping back and forth during your timed quiz. The midterms-watch out! The material is easy, but his wording will throw you off so be prepared for questions along the lines of "no more than 5600," but more tricky.
I got an A, but i bought and used the program a lot when studying.
-Meets once a week to teach you how to use the program
-Midterm/Final extremely similar to practice exams
Cons: -Can sometimes come off as a little too brutally honest
I have friends that are TOM majors and they all suggest Guyse for TOM302, and after taking him, I understand why. This course is wrapped around the idea of Statistics done by managers, but instead of being hand written, Guyse has adapted the course to a more modern approach; using software to remove human error. The course consists of one meeting per week which is Dr. Guyse basically teaching everyone how to use the software for a specific need. Then before every weekly class period, a quiz is due. These quizzes are probably the most difficult part of the course but they are slightly curved. The two exams given are straightforward and very similar to the practice exams given. Overall, I thought this course was interesting and very applicable to today's world and would highly recommend taking it with Dr. Guyse instead of other professors that have you hand write the answers to the problems.
Grade Received: A
Prof is knowledgeable
Makes a stats seem easy and understandable with the software
very clear about what he wants and how he wants it
Cons: curved online quizzes every week based on stuff you have to read on your own time, dont wait until last minute
Professor Guyse is awesome! It was a hybrid class where all the lessons in class where applied for midterm and final. He gives you a study guide for each. As long as you dont miss the one day and do the study guide, you will pass the 1 midterm and 1 final. There is an online quiz every week about different sections of the book, but he tells you EXACTLY what to read. My downfall was waiting until the day before so I had some difficulty there. He's really smart and wants his students to understand and he goes step by step. I would recommend him for hybrid or regular courses, just take more time for those quizzes. Grade: A-
-No busy work or B.S. chatting
-Speaks clearly
-Makes a difficult subject easy
-Makes the MidTerm harder than Final
-Noncumulative Final
-No Project/Presentation/Orals
-No need to speak if you don't want to
-Only graded on 2 test and 8 quizzes
-Relates lectures to cooking/guitar/or something fun to help you understand
Cons: -You will wish all your professors were like Guyse
I took hybrid Winter 11. Go to every class and take the best notes you can. The MidTerm and Final are based on the software and the knowledge of using the software comes from the lectures. So if you want to succeed on the Test then you have to attend class and take excellent notes. The quizzes are not that bad. Too many people are saying the quizzes are difficult. They are wrong. The quizzes are easy. They are based on definitions straight from the book. So read the lessons before you take the quiz then take the quiz and if you have trouble then search through the book for the answer. Simple! All grades are based on curve that is based on the median grade so there is nothing to worry about. A 20/25 on the quizzes gets you an "A".
I wish all professors were like Guyse. I understand everything he lectured (including software) and can actually use the knowledge in real life. I don't think I would understand the material as well as I do if I had taken a different professor. Grade Received: A
Cons: extremely hard quizes, unclear powerpoints, tough grader on exams w/ answers that must be perfectly worded
Very nice and helpful. But he's so intelligent, he doesn't realize that others can't do multiple steps in their head in the split second he can. His quizzes are brutal and a huge part of your grade! They cover everything from the book and powerpoints, (plus things he thinks you should intuitively know, but don't,) but not the lectures. The powerpoints on blackboard are very unclear and crucial for quizzes. If you're good at reading between the lines and assuming that since this is true, then this other random thing must be true, then maybe you'll do well on the quizzes. I couldn't. The exams are only over the lectures. Take VERY detailed notes in class. Stop him and ask him slow down or repeat anything you missed, because it's ALL on the exams! Study your notes, and practice the practice exams over and over, and you can easily pass the exams. Be sure to word your answers on the exams exactly like he does in his solutions to the practice exams, no less and no more. He hammers you for over answering. Got and A.
Self-learned class that is hybrid
Teaches fairly well
Cons: It is a self learned class and you must know the material before taking the quiz which is worth a huge amount.
I rated this professor before but I guess it didnt go through. Anyways this guy knows his stuff. He is very knowledgable on the subject and tries to explain (fairly well) on the stuff that is going to be on the midterm and final. His class consists of one midterm and one final. They are both ok since he gives you a practice exam beforehand and allows you to use the program that he teaches in class. The only bad thing about him is that you have to learn the marterial before he teaches it and take a quiz on it before the class. He grades homework by completion so as long as you show your work your fine. Like the previous comments he does get kind of pissy as the quarter goes on if you dont understand the material. Overall he is a good professor
