the class was made up of 5 quizzes with the lowest one dropped, lecture questions, and lab participation. the quizzes could be tough as he adds challenge questions, but as long as you show up to the lecture days were he gives out the code you could pass them. I never went to office hours but he always talked about being available to help students.

Conroy-Beam made the class extremely easy grade-wise. Quizzes are the only thing you need to worry about (everything else is basically participation), so make sure to attend his lectures where he's sharing the R code. Have the R code and slides pulled up for a good grade.

I just realized I never rated him for 10B when I took it last year, but I'm signing up for classes right now and saw he's teaching 143, and I'm taking it solely because he's the prof. Absolutely love him he's such a nice guy, and he really makes it easy to pass his class if you can follow instructions. Without a doubt my favorite prof at UCSB.

Such a fun professor, likes to get participation in his lectures and helps us master concepts in R coding. fair grader and tester, reviews material from last few lectures in current lectures. material is addressed clearly and in an organized way, easy to understand.

Straightforward, easy-to-follow lectures. Used a flipped-classroom method so that we could get a chance to ask questions, run codes in R together, etc. No midterm or final but had a total of 5 quizzes, with one every 2 weeks. Overall, really enjoyed his teaching style & the structure/organization of the class.

I love Prof. Dan! He is very funny and works hard to make his lectures interesting, relatable, and easy to understand. His quizzes can be difficult, but he gives you all of the tools to succeed. There is no midterm or final, and none of the quizzes are cumulative.
