CollegeProfessor G is a great professor. He cares a lot and will give you a good grade if he sees you trying. In office hours before the final he basically gave us all the questions on the final. His grading is super lenient and he tries really hard to help where he can. Taking him again next quarter.
Lets you bring 2 pages of notes to tests, EXTREMELY, extremely lenient grader, and releases practice problems the night before the exams that are basically exactly the same as the ones on tests. One of the greats, his classes are not fail-able, ignore what everyone says. Just show up to 2 classes: the midterm and final, and you'll pass I promise.
Didn't know how to pace the course for Summer Session B, so we were told to attend two extra lectures at 7:45 PM during our finals week. High expectations for students' understanding while simultaneously leading disjointed, confusing lectures. Luckily, he's a very lenient grader. He's a good guy, but would avoid in future upper divs.
Karen is a genuinely good person and although I don't always understand 100% of the lecture material, he always tries to make it more entertaining. Would take him again, but the class isn't easy.
Went over the more well tuned and superior functional linear regression instaed of the boring old applied linear regressoin thats lowkey not even needed if you know FLR you'll know LR really well. Along the core, also survey of stochastic processes, measure theory (PSTAT 210, MATH 228B, PSTAT 221A) and some MATH 108A-C, just like a CCS course.
Weirdest class I have ever taken, I genuinely learned nothing but got an A+. Midterm was replaced by project and final exam was very similar to practice exam. Lots of extra credit given throughout the quarter. During lecture he explains the curriculum for about 5 minutes and then deviates to graduate/PhD level material that is incomprehensible.
