The lectures are very boring but the professor is very passionate about stats! Focus hard on the language you use when writing on midterms and finals, the professor will mark you down if it's the wrong wording. R coding might scare you at first but it's just tedious. Make sure to complete all reviews, it'll help you a lot for the tests.

Professor Miller is an extremely caring professor and the class is easy to receive an A if you put in the work (which I did not, whoops). Lectures aren't mandatory and are dreadfully boring, but they go through many example problems to help grasp concepts. Sections only helped with homework but literally had zero correlation with lectures.

Professor Miller is amazing! The course is graded on ECoach journals, section participation, homework, two midterms, and a cumulative final. The lectures were engaging, but attendance isn't mandatory! Lectures are recorded and then posted on Canvas with all review w/s as well. I would say the class is very easy if you put in the effort!!

They are an amazing professor and they always make sure to keep lecture engaging to the students. They are really passionate about their work and they are AMAZING at explaining the little things!

Miller was great. They were super nice and good professor. they made the class super accessible, and really wanted their students to succeed. Two midterms and one final. some R assigments. section mandatory. Final can replace one of the midterm grades. mostly open response. They were great, would take again. very fair class and descriptive notes.

Professor Miller is an amazing professor who is always willing to help their students. They structure the class around the students needs and truly cares. I would definitely recommend taking their class because it is a fairly easy A as long as you complete the homework and look over the lecture slides.

Prof. Miller was AMAZING! Tests were extremely similar to the practice exams, and slides were always posted and very easy to follow. The homework was pretty chill, just an assignment once a week. If you have to take this course I highly recommend Prof. Miller, they were awesome and made me actually enjoy stats.

Not a hard class. this issue is that lectures are WAY to long for the content taught. The proffesser goes to slowly for most people and the slides could be cut down and simplified A LOT. but its an easy class and Miller tries to make it intresting.

Great professor! They made lectures easy to follow and the material/ hw was very do-able outside of class. Office hours were a great way to receive pretty much one on one help. Practice exams were very helpful and as long as you review, class is very manageable.

Pretty easy class. There is are usually only two homework assignments a week and both are usually pretty easy. They post all the slides and annotations on Canvas so you don't have to attend lecture if you don't want to. Midterms and the final are decently simple and all the information you need for them will be on previous homeworks.

Lectures could be boring at times, but Prof Miller is witty and does their best to keep things interesting. There are weekly homework assignments, two midterms, and a final. As long as you do the practice exams, you should be fine. I found sections to be a complete waste of time but that depends on the TA.

PSTAT 5LS with Miller is a walk in the park. They are super understanding of life situations, have very clear lecture material, and great practice material. They implement several "lowest grade dropped" for homework, section attendance, and journal entries. Literally just do the practice test and review lecture notes and you'll be golden for exams.

Prof. Miller was a great professor. Their tests were fair and sections helped my understanding of the material a lot (not a waste of time to go!). Overall minimal effort needed to still be successful. Also, to get full credit on homework go to office hours to check your answers.

Professor Miller was very, very caring for their students, honestly amazing in that regard. Lectures were a bit boring I would say and some tangents, the class is overall easy and there are a few tricks sometimes on the exams, but the homeworks were easy (weekly) and journaling too. 2 sections per week for a little bit of coding and review.

Professor Miller is a great professor! The class was honestly pretty low-stakes, and all you really need to do for exams is look over the slides and take section time seriously. 2 midterms and a final, and extra credit is offered. You can definitely tell they really cared for their students, and really hoped the best for us. Highly recommend!

Doc is an amazing lecturer! This class is super easy and felt like high school stats honestly. Doc is super understanding and you can tell that they genuinely care about their students. Weekly homework and journaling, but it's not that time consuming. Highly highly recommend this stats class.

For pstat5LS lectures are so light and the tests are exactly like the practice tests. The workload is light and the professor is very understanding. Would recommend taking for easy A as long as you sorta pay attention.

Doc is an absolutely incredible professor. Their lectures are pretty simple and they break down example problems very well. They're super accommodating as well and sometimes will share little anecdotes about their life. Made stats so easy and I never felt stressed. If you get the chance, take class with Miller!

if i could i would take this class again !!!! the way they teach makes it so easy to understand and the course itself isn't hard and can score well easily. and extra credit !!!!!!

Makes statistics VERY easy. Compared to other stats classes this is very manageable. Very clear teaching and provides examples of all problems that will be on exams. So as long as you learn how to do each of the problems during class, you will do good on the exams. And if you ever have problems, he was always able to explain how to fix it.

the lecture slides and the practice exam are really helpful for study.

Professor Miller is probably the best professor I've had in the stats department so far. I took 120A in the summer and thought it was going to be extremely difficult but professor Miller's lectures made everything clear and the practice exams were pretty similar to the tests and definitely prepared me.

The workload is reasonable there's only one HW per week. I would recommend attending section because it helps to grasp the material better, particularly if you find Professor Miller's teaching style challenging, as I did. Nothing wrong with lectures just weren't for me. My TA Monte was very helpful and kind. I didn't study much just do the HW.

If you have to take PSTAT take 5LS with Doc Miller! Miller is so incredibly helpful especially if you go to office hours and ask any questions that you have. Office hours were the best as you got to work with peers and check your homework which was never too difficult. Tests were pretty reflective of the practice exams.
