Dr. J is a boss! The most knowledgeable statistics professor I have ever had. He teaches the class without using notes, and rarely makes any mistakes. Clear, concise lectures. Despite open book, open note exams the tests are somewhat challenging so don't underestimate them.

Never went to class (relied on the emails reminding us to come to tests), no CLUE what was going on, never did homework (quiz on hw in sections but TA would give answers and then have us copy that down). Since open note/open book, I was able to hone my crazy math skills on test days and get a B. If you don't need to take the 120B, this is your man.

genuinely had no idea what was going on in lectures but read the textbook and you should be fine. ~5 homeworks and not bad, open note/laptop/book midterm and final

He is one of the best professors in the department! He explains the material very well in his lectures and has a lot of knowledge. You can get a good grade as long as you study.

It's nice to have a class where the professor truly wants you to get a good grade. Every step of the way he makes it easy to make up your grade or do better. The final was out of 115 points but he grades it out of 100. Dr. J is very nice. That said, if I could give him a difficulty of 0 I would. The class was not challenging in the slightest.

It was difficult to understand him sometimes during lecture because of his accent, but he is a very nice prof and very good at teaching the material as well. Lectures can be kind of difficult to follow sometimes, but the book is extremely helpful. Super generous exam curves, would take again if I could.
