PSTAT170 . Zhu Zimu 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

By far my favorite Stats professor. Took him for 120A, 160A, and 170. Got at least a B in every single one. Posts all lecture notes online, so you don't have to show up (worked very well with my busy schedule). Tests take up around 60% of the grade but they're very similar to the reviews he posts, and he almost always curves the class average.

All notes are online, midterm and finals are similar to practice midterm and finals.

Zimu is a great professor. The tests were reasonable, plus he provided practice exams for us to study from. His lecture notes are straightforward and are always related to the homework assignments and exams. He is also quick to respond to emails. Not much more I can ask for from a professor.

I have to admit he is super nice, and his lecture slides are, often times, clear and serve as great study materials.

The concept of statistics was not emphasized throughout the course. The midterm exam was purely about small calculus tricks from Math 3A and 6A. To better prepare the students for industry, this course should focus more on the framework of the Stochastic Process, rather than repeat what a calculator can do.

Was not a big fan of his lectures, but he posts all notes online for you to utilize. Material is tough but he is very responsive to emails and questions. Exams were doable with enough studying and hw helped for exams. drops two lowest hw and had an overall curve at end of quarter.
