Prof. Peters really cares about students and went above and beyond to help us. However, the structure of the course could be improved. We had to learn all the math in 5/6 weeks, and the math in this class is very difficult. I could've learned the materials better if we started with math right away then moved on to the project in week 9/10.
A lot of math proofs and derivations starting from week four. All homework / midterm are assigned after week 6. Really weird schedule. The professor is nice and held extra office hours to provide help.
Many concepts are unclear in his lecture and there are so many mathematical proofs required for this course that are difficult to understand. I regret to take this quarter taught by him.
Amazing Professor. SHORT & EASY Final. Every stats students shall not hesitate to take this course!
