Dr. Mouti is not the best lecturer but he is nice and caring, always trying to help students in either OH or Discord outside of class. We have four quizzes and his tests are hard, but I like the quarterly project he assigned. The project enhances our understanding on Regression and coding in R. He gives 15% of credit if you show up to 8am lecture.

He's genuinely a great teacher and is extremely accessible, I just believe the course material is difficult. But if you reach out and ask questions, he's very accessible and will often give in detail breakdowns and hints that help greatly. The class is dense, but if you really keep up and take notes it's not bad at all.

I don't understand how people are supposed to learn this heavy of material in this amount of time. Mouti is a nice guy but gets confused during his own lectures and makes mistakes often. I should have taken the hint when looking at his grade distribution last spring seeing 35% of students got a D or lower. These problems can be taught much easier.

Professor Mouti has a good teaching approach that requires following the lectures and participating whenever you can but his exams can be challenging. He ends up offering ways to make up for the grades you missed and does his best to help students succeed if they put in the effort.

Dr. Mouti is a dedicated and helpful instructor. He tried his best to respond to students' questions during OH and on Discord (which is really a luxury). He expects students to have a solid understanding of 120AB + 160A prior to 160B but he did a lot to help throughout the process. Exams are indeed very very intense (long but not too bad).

I have nothing bad to say about Professor Mouti. He is professional and knowledgeable and gives many ways to make up for poor performance like extra credit questions on exams that he gave on homework. Exams are not easy but not too difficult either. He hints on what he expects from us on exams if you follow closely.

A really dedicated and great professor. His exams and homework questions are pretty hard and requires you to know super clearly about the definitions. He is really helpful during office hours and good at explaining the conceptual stuff clearly.

This is the second class I've taken with professor Mouti and although PSTAT 126 was a lot easier with him than PSTAT 120B, it was still dreadful. He's a bad lecturer and there are usually random mistakes in his slides. Tests are very difficult. The positive is 40+% of your grade is a project that is pretty easy.

I took him three times and failed all his classes. He pretends to care about students but gives tests that no one has any clue how to do. I studied the most I have ever studied for an exam and stared at the exam like an idiot because it was something that we never covered in class or in homework.

Mouti was highly dedicated to the learning experience of students in the class. It was probably Mouti's first time running 160B, but I would say it was a success. Small class size means quality of education. The six-member class allowed me to shout out the questions when it popped up. Homework was helpful and exams were of reasonable difficulty.

Hard midterm, insanely curved, lengthy group project with somewhat vague instructions. He is not the worst but 126 has concepts that are hard to grasp and I would recommend taking someone else if proofs aren't your thing (a lot of those show up on the exam.)

If you have actually think Mouti is an unreasonable or excessively tough professor, you are too dumb for statistics, switch to media studies. The exam is medium difficulty with an insane curve and a retake option. Always available and willing to help over email, nectir, and office hours for any question. If you care, he will care about you.
