Winter 2021 - Note: This review is for Winter 2021, a quarter conducted remotely for this class. I took STATS 199 with Professor Tsiang because I enjoyed his STATS 20 class and him as a professor and person. He let me take the lead for my directed research--I did mine on fantasy football analysis (in fact, he didn't know much about the topic, just the analysis I was performing). In terms of what is required, the only thing I had to submit was a final research paper. Professor Tsiang allowed me to meet with him on my schedule. I could meet as often (or as little) as I needed, and he helped me with a few questions I had about the process. I met on a weekly basis (for the most part) to give him updates throughout the quarter. TL;DR: Professor Tsiang let me run the course; he served as a mentor as I worked on my research. Ultimately, this course is about the student more so than the professor.
