Mock is an awesome prof. I emailed him probaly a million times over the course just with general questions, as this was a tougher course for me. He is super nice and he does really care to help you succeed and I do truly believe I did well in his course because of his insight. Thank you Steven!

I love Steven Mock. This class was like any stats class, so the ciriculum was boring, but he did his best to get us interested. He gave us cheat sheets for the exams, and told us we could use our phones as calculators. Such an odd guy, but he honestly can hang. The assignments are a bit confusing, but he gets it, so he's happy to help you out.
