Darryl Smith

He didn't really teach much other than always talking about himself and his businesses. He had to make every student present at the end of the year just to cut every presentation short because he wants to go home early. The only good thing about his class was when he gave out a free beer after the last class from his bar by Ryerson.

he is extremely misunderstood. i thought he was a bad prof too because I came into uni as a punk highschool kid. after bombing the midterm i did every question in his book... killed the final finished with an A.. hes a softie at heart I know he bumped me. He can be rude but its because he knows people aren't doing their homework. mark = effort here

Go to class and Listen! very good professor, choose this guy over other stats profs.

Whoever said hes a good profs lying. His evaluation for tests do not fairly evaluate a student's understanding of material. So if you do get him, pay close attention to answer presentation: it matters more than the answer itself. He communicates poorly, writes messy, comes to class late, doesn't use blackboard/powerpoint; so go to class sit close

A great teacher!!I understand why some people may not like him. If you ask stupid questions, he will critisize you and if u don't pay attention in class you will get screwed. He goes over hmk as much as the class wants, and will show you the exact format he wants on tests.His tests are very fair, and directly from class work ,normally a hard app.q

hated him

graphinc calculator not necessary for class, but he only shows us how to use that. was too lazy to show us manually. seems un-interested in your learning. very cocky. class was yelling at him post midterm becuase of how unfair it was.

he's actually a good teacher, although he can be difficult to approach

the best thing about this prof is that he is crystal clear in his explanations. oh, he also bumped our final grades too. i'd say each of his tests have only 1 question that is tricky. i got an A in his class. just some tips.. dont miss any classes. do the homework he assigns. follow his problem solving method to the tee. i would recommend him. :)

Here is the key to this class: pay attention in class and DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Trust me on this. I did OK on the 2 midterms, but the exam was super hard. Luckily, I think he belled it up so I went from an A- to an A+. People say he's hard, but I think he's a softy deep down. One more bit of advice: have EVERYTHING on your cheat sheet on your exam
