The professor is very strict with quiz and timing. And also bring interesting things to the class. He teachs a lot
of useful probability in our life.
­
I feel that Professor Wiles does a great job at getting to know his students. He does a great job at making all
students feel welcome and comfortable!
­ Excellent
Q35 ­ Make a suggestion(s) for improving the course (a criticism alone is not helpful; tell your
instructor how you would fix any problem).
Faculty: Wiles, Benjamin C

­ Noting!
­
I really enjoyed taking statistics from Professor Wiles. I felt though that some of the Math Theory sort of flew
over my head sometimes during lecture, but not all the time. Continuing to find more simpler ways to explain
mathematical theory (like proofs) will only continue to make the class better.
