Professor Tsiang in amazing professor who really tries his best to make sure that his students are learning. His exams are pretty straightforward, and he has no curveballs or tricks on them. He also really cares about our physical well-being and mental health, which is much appreciated. He is quite approachable, and will help you in any way that he can. I highly recommend him for Stats 10, as he is probably the best professor you could have for an intro statistics class. You will not regret taking this class with him.

Professor Tsiang is one of the nicest and most understanding professors I've had at UCLA. He genuinely cares about his students' wellbeing and whether or not they understand the material. There are suggested homework assignments, but they are not required and automatically everyone gets 100% in homework (which is worth 5% of the grade). There are 10 online quizzes, 5 labs (1 due every two weeks) and a final. For each of the midterms you get one 8.5"x11" front and back page of notes and for the final you get three 8.5"x11" front and back pages of notes. This was my first statistics course I've ever taken and I felt like I was able to learn a lot and at the same time didn't feel like I was stressing over my grade, which I believe was his intention. I recommend this class and professor to anyone who loves or hates math or just needs to fulfill a requirement!

The assignments were extremely time consuming AND quite difficult- even for someone with significant programming experience outside of R. However- they were so satisfying to complete, and taught me so much that I couldn't get from reading notes or a textbook.

Loved Tsiang! He's an amazing lecturer, and made sure that all the concepts he taught were super clear to us. He's also super helpful in office hours! He always told us that our health is of utmost importance, and academics comes second, and not to worry about our grades because he would made sure that our final grade reflected our learning in the end. This way of thinking made me feel a lot better about the class, since I really just focused on learning R Programming, and wasn't that worried about my grade. His tests can be kinda tricky, but if you study the homework closely and also go over some of the example questions he does during lecture, you'll definitely be fine! Tsiang uses Campuswire for this class, which was my savior for homework questions. He also offers a bit of extra credit if you're active enough on Campuswire, so make sure to take advantage of that!

I definitely recommend Tsiang for this course. He is super clear, concise, and straightforward just like the notes that he provides (you don't need to get a textbook). He's also one of the most genuine, caring, and passionate professors I have ever had. He truly cares about his students' learning and their well-being, always reminding them to take care of themselves during exam season and emphasizing that grades are something he needs to worry about, not you. Exams are multiple choice and call for a good amount of detail, but they're really not too challenging if you put enough time for studying (just like most other classes). He also gives several extra credit opportunities, so take advantage of those! Lastly, if you love parks and rec, you'll enjoy his references throughout the quarter.

Professor Tsiang is honestly one of the best, if not THE best professor I've had at UCLA. I've never taken the time to write a review about any professor before, but Tsiang truly cares that his students understand the material and do well in the course. He specifically said at the beginning of the course, "If everyone does well in this class, everyone will get A's. There is no curving down." He also cares so much about the mental health of his students so it is a very refreshing environment compared to other classes. I HIGHLYYY recommend taking his class if you can

MIKE IS THE GREATEST PROFESSOR AT UCLA! He is so so sweet and funny for a stats teacher! Seriously, if you have to take stats, do not take it without Mike. He uses Parks and Rec references in like every problem. He also believes that your mental health should not be sacrificed for grades. He leads you in breathing exercises before every test. The tests aren't that hard because he gives you a cheat sheet and thorough practice problems!

I highly recommend stats 10 with professor tsiang! He was extremely helpful, I wanted to take stats 10 but it was hard to get it to work with my schedule, as the only open lecture conflicted with another class. He let me enroll in one stats lecture and attend another, and worked with me for the exams! Lectures are also all podcasted so I didn't really have to go to lecture.

He is also a very clear teacher, the curve can only help you, and it is really clear he only wants you to do well in his class. The tests are all multiple choice, and though you should definitely study, they are not very difficult. The labs are also very easy but you HAVE to go to section, because the TA pretty much tells you how to do every question and the answers. Ended the class with an A+!

The only negative thing I have to say is he is pretty intimidating up close/ in office hours.

The class is overwhelmingly hard, and I don't recommend anyone taking it. Lectures are clear, but the tests are non-sense. We are tested not on the ability to analyze data by R, but simply some weird rules and edge cases. Homework are good, but gradings are incredibly strict. We can be deducted for more than 10% of homework grade just because of style of coding. As a "fair" CS student who almost got an A in every CS class I took, I still find this class very confusing.
