9920023Kick ASS!
best math teacher you could ever have. Funny, smart, reasonable and always available to help.
9520012Awesome guy, really funny, grading is fair but if you mess up one question on a quiz you can get a bad grade on it cuz there are only a few questions. other than that the homework he assigns prepares you for everything on the tests and quizzes. open book tests and quizzes, even the final! would highly reccomend. more than a teacher, also a friend
9120011cool guy, knows his stuff and is willing to help, don't need to memorize anything!!!!
7520003Nice guy, good sense of humor but was not the best teacher not too bad either though.
9920003One of the best professors that I have had, very helpful, good homework assignments and not a bore in class
9920002Dr. Mathison ids the best teacher ever!!! He even let me in a class without taking the pre-recs. He's availible outside of class and he uses technology a big plus in my book!!1

8520002How anyone can be that enthusiastic about statistics that early in the morning is beyond me. Seriously though, he does an average job of teaching the material, and a good job of using real-worldish examples to facilitate understanding. Tests are reasonable, and reasonably graded.
7520002too anal when grading, gives very little partial credit on tests.
9520002great
9920002He doesn't make you memorize all of the formulas like some of the other professors. He concentrates on the theory and helps you to understand how the formulas are derived instead. An excellent approach that was fun to learn! Exams are fair and homework doesn't take a long time but is very helpful.
9920002Had a blast in Data Analysis! David presents the material in a very easy-to-understand fashion, and you really do begin to understand where statistics (which I used to think was really boring) fits into the world around us. The only math course I've EVER been eager to go to and sad when I missed a class. He's an awesome teacher, and the ONLY way you can fail one of his courses is if you don't give a damn in the first place. I'm waiting for him to teach DA II that I can take him again!
