CollegeWas a really chill teacher and the class was not hard. Lectures were not mandatory but were helpful to understand the material. The midterms and finals were pretty easy.
Lectures are uninteresting and slow. Sections are somewhat useful but definitely skippable if attendance weren't graded.
He was quite passionate about statistics and explained everything really clearly, although the lectures did get a little boring. Drops 3 sections which are required attendances, but I genuinely loved my TA so much and she was very helpful! Doing the homework and test reviews pretty much completely prepares you for the exams!
He was super helpful!! Lecture was only twice a week and an hour and 15 each so it was hard to stay focused because he just yapped. GO TO OFFICE HOURS!! He is really good in a small setting and helps you with the homework. Do practice exams, frqs were always pretty easy I would get tripped up by the MCQ on the tests. He is the goat!
Honestly this class is pretty easy if you are consistent with the Homework and attend lectures. Practice exams he provides is very similar to the actual exams.
lectures are long and full of new information every time but he does a good job explaining content especially if you ask questions. only 6 homework assignments for the whole course and each one only takes 1-1.5 hr. he's funny and always kept it interesting i liked his class overall!
