This class is supposed to be hard, much of the stuff you will learn will be essential for future pstat courses. Spend time actually learning the derivations and why we do things and you should be able adapt to any problem he gives you with ease.

Avoid at all costs- you will not learn in lecture or from his slides. Exams are rushed with not enough time to complete in combination with hard questions and concepts not emphasized in class. This class is already content heavy and a high difficulty level and he will make it harder that it's supposed to be.

He claimed that he has no curve in this course, but somehow, my friends and I receive a better grade then we expected in the final and also the final letter grade. Midterm is chill, similar to AP STAT if you learned that, Final is heavy, be careful for that.

If you find yourself know nothing and the final is coming soon, don't panic. It's possible to learn all the things with 2 days if you have a basis of things taught before midterm, then, you should put effort in past exam he posted in canvas, work through every questions carefully (you will see similar ones in final), and view the recent HW.

Brian's chill but lectures were kinda a snoozefest ngl and I found it easier to try and learn stuff myself. For the midterm, time is the real challenge. Question's aren't overly hard, but you have to work efficiently. Final is much harder and it took me almost the full 3 hours. Homework is hard but solutions are posted so its pretty much free.
