if i could i would take this class again !!!! the way they teach makes it so easy to understand and the course itself isn't hard and can score well easily. and extra credit !!!!!!
The workload is reasonable there's only one HW per week. I would recommend attending section because it helps to grasp the material better, particularly if you find Professor Miller's teaching style challenging, as I did. Nothing wrong with lectures just weren't for me. My TA Monte was very helpful and kind. I didn't study much just do the HW.
If you have to take PSTAT take 5LS with Doc Miller! Miller is so incredibly helpful especially if you go to office hours and ask any questions that you have. Office hours were the best as you got to work with peers and check your homework which was never too difficult. Tests were pretty reflective of the practice exams.
I was dreading taking this class, but Miller made me love stats! If you attend lecture and lab and do assignments on time, you are basically guaranteed to do well in this class. Miller is a great professor who explains everything clearly and makes class expectations clear. There are plenty of opportunities to earn points in this class.
Great professor, I got a lower grade because I didn't do amazing on the tests. The homework was probably the hardest part of the class in my opinion. Labs were super easy.
Amazing professor!! Miller is extremely kind and truly wants to get to know you and help you succeed in their class. First professor I felt like I could talk to as a friend. Lectures were very informative, and not too much work. Im terrible at math but ik I at least passed this class, and I actually ended up liking stats in the end of the quarter.
