Engineering Statistics with Probability
Study of statistics with probability in engineering applications. Probability and statistics: random variables, distribution functions, density functions, expectations, means, variances, combinatorial probability, normal random variables, joint distribution, independence, correlation, conditional probability, Bayes theorem, the central limit theorem. Applications: data visualization, point estimation, interval estimation, hypothesis testing, linear regression, design and analysis of experiments, tests of normality, multiple comparisons, non-parametric procedures, uncertainty analysis, and statistical ethics. This course has a required lab section where students will learn the basics of R to compute statistical analyses. Examples are taken from engineering applications with an equity lens. Prerequisites: Math 233 or equivalent.

Krone is a great person, and is so caring and kind, but his lectures probably won't teach you anything. Luckily there are no exams and labs are participation based, making this class very easy.

Prof. Krone is an amazing person. He's caring, fun, and entertaining. However, his lecture style leaves much to be desired. For someone learning statistics for the first time, his lectures are very rushed and he primarily just reads off a google doc. He teaches like you already know the jargon, which makes interpreting his lectures challenging.

Prof Krone was very charasmatic, which definitely helped keep me engaged with all the jargon and technical terms involved in Stats, it could get a little dry and boring sometimes. Very understanding. Sometimes, he sits in awkward silence until someone answers his very obvious question. Not a very exciting class but not too hard either.

Professor Krone is decent. It's really easy to get an A if you get help at office hours. Krone is understanding and will let you submit work late if you have an excuse. This semester, he incorporated AI into assignments, which I felt hindered my learning. Not the best professor, but not the worst.

I feel like Krone gets a bad rep since people aren't willing to put in effort to actually try to learn. Lectures can be fast, but he always reexplains things if you ask, and there's tons of help at OH. Homework/projects are graded on accuracy, but again OH is super helpful. Also, the class is based in R so it's nice to have some coding experience.

This class was so boring. Krone does his best to make it interesting or somewhat entertaining but the topic is just bleh. It’s mad easy though. Krone cares a lot so if you need help he’ll give it to you no problems whether that be hw help or extensions etc…it’s a bit tedious with quite a bit of R coding but there are enough examples floating around in the SINGLE CANVAS PAGE (I’ve still got beef with that) that you can find almost exactly what you need.

I hate statistics but I love Krone. Super funny and understanding. Projects are tough but go to his office hours and you'll be fine.

There are no exams in the class, just homework and projects which accurately reflect the lecture notes/labs. Office hours and the TAs are very helpful. Krone is super understanding and cares about his students- he is accommodating to personal circumstances and tries hard to make class fun

Lectures can sometimes be a little fast-paced but example problems in the notes help to solidify concepts. Weekly homework can be a little tricky but you are allowed to collaborate with friends and office hours are extremely helpful. Take-home assessments can take a while to complete but if you have a good grasp on the material you should be fine.

Prof. Krone is not a good lecturer because his class is really boring and not helpful compared to his notes. However, he set the class in a proper difficulty level that matches to the lecture: there are no exams! An easy A professor and doesn't create difficulty on student's grades, but there won't be much knowledge one could gain from his class.
