He's pretty funny and very good at stats. But he has an accent and moves very quickly through lecture slides. You NEED to sign up for CLAS, because the (2x a week) sections are worthless (but mandatory thanks to required labsquizzes). I had a fantastic TA named Brian, and an downright amazing CLAS tutor named Binh Pham. The final was hard. Study.
The best statistics professor I've had. Ludkovski knows what's up, and has a sense of humor. The Russian accent is nice to listen to. You are going to have to work hard in this class but you will learn a lot. Tests are challenging and test for knowledge rather than just recycling homework or practice test questions. The final curve gave ~7%.
The classes he teaches just happen to be challenging courses but overall a good teacher. Tests are harder than expected. Have to work hard to get the grade.
horrible. bad accent which made it hard to understand. worst handwriting ever. $200 book which we never opened. lectures were pointless. homework was extremely hard and then nothing like the tests so it didn't even matter. worst stat teacher.
Overall is a very good teacher and highly professional. Sometimes speak a little too fast, but you get used to it. The class was very well organized and easy to follow. One of the best experiences at PSTAT department so far!
Pretty good teacher altogeter. One of few math finance profs in department. Knowledgable of the subject matter. Covers a lot of material which is useful
