Very lecture heavy coursework, but if you watch the ,lectures and take notes you will do fine. He will go through the examples on the notes and highlight what's most important.

The professor only lectured, and i took this class for PSTAT 109 and maybe thats where i messed up because this was his first time teaching this class. He read heavily from the slides, and reading the slides by myself was more effective and less time consuming. You will learn from youtube Videos and CLAS more than from him.

Taken this course in the pandemic period. The best stat prof I've ever met

He is so great! Definitely take him for any class you can. He is really understanding and helpful. His equations are sometimes more complicated than the book so I would recommend getting them from there but other than that, he is very clear and does not make anything unnecessarily hard.

I love Prof. Bapat (I've had him for multiple PSTAT classes) for many reasons. My only frustration with him is that his grading on exams is a bit unfair. Small calculational mistakes will cost you as much as conceptual ones. Also: he lets you make equation sheets. DO NOT copy your equations from his notes. LOTS of typos compared to other profs.

The material was difficult and the exams were on the harder side BUT if you're going to take 120B I would def recommend Bapat, he repeats concepts over and over to really hammer them into your brain and works problems out on the board in ways that feel simplified and practical. Had a midterm, final and 2 quizzes (scheduled, not pop-quizzes).
