I took this class as an undergrad. I found this class pretty interesting. The grading is 45% hw, 45% project, 10% lecture scribe. You're expected to use LaTeX in RMarkdown for homework and LaTeX for scribing (only one lecture per person.) The homework assignments are pretty challenging but you have plenty of time to do them cus they're only 3 of em

Class is easy for a graduate course, a lot of content overlaps with the stuff for PSTAT 131 students, except for the final that has a proofs section a little bit harder but still doable for a grad student. The final project's instructions were vague but my final project was dogsh*t and got an A- so he's chill. If u want easy A, take coburn instead

Avoid this guy if you can! He gave a super difficult final exam, with a lot of confusing multiple choice/true or false questions. He was difficult to reach outside of the class. His office hour didn't have anyone, including himself.

Very difficult to get a hold of outside of one or two days a week. Always rushing out and prefer to hide behind emails or zoom for communications. Unwilling to set up office hour outside of days he lectures. Don't feel like he cares about student's education, but cares more about his own time and schedule.
