Student reviews of Sahotra Sarkar
Review from a student who took Bio 318M
All in all I would recommend taking this class with Dr. Sarkar if you need a stats course. He tends to focus his exams more on the theory of the tests you'll learn and how to use them correctly and exactly what the numbers mean. He saves actually working the problems for homework assignments. There were 4 tests and 4 homework assignments (15% and 10% each, respectively). He did curve at the end. When all is said and done, I feel i've learned a great deal about how to interpret statistics and which tests are appropriate under given circumstances. It's an easy B, with a little more work required for an A.
