After taking STATS 102A and 102B with Professor Chen, I completed the 102 series with him. This class aligned closer to 102B than 102A, as the focus was on the algorithms and their implementation rather than having to code extensively (coding was still required). With the midterms, time was a small concern (especially for the second one), but Professor Chen allowed students to have notes with them, making things more manageable. The material of this course does have real-life applications, which was nice because we saw examples of how some of the algorithms used might be implemented outside of the classroom. Ultimately, Professor Chen explains the material well and engages the students, which is why I would recommend taking 102C (and the entire 102 series) with him, if possible.

Miles is a great lecturer. I think the course is a jump from 20, where there was a lot of hand holding. Now it is expected you use all your resources, including the internet. Be prepared for individual learning too (not all the answers are in the notes). Miles is helpful in OH and on Campuswire too. Great class!

Miles is one of the best professors at UCLA. This class was extremely useful and very manageable. He is a very engaging lecturer who cares deeply about his students. The finals are a bit rough, but he curves and adjusts grades so that it doesn't really matter in the end. 10/10 would recommend. Take this class, you will not regret it!

He is the best professor in UCLA. Lectures are super clear. Even if you miss, you can easily review his video and catch up. Homework is not hard if you can understand lectures. Normally he lets take-home exam, but still easy. Definitely take him!!!!!!!

Bro is always cheesing. Honestly this class was great, professors slides were very useful and he did a great job at explaining things. The homework was kind of tough but you get about a week and. half to work on it. Overall would take again and if you can take him youll learn alot.

Pretty simple class - and a really good introduction to R for a beginner beginner. Lectures were really clear and slides were always posted. Office Hours were very frequent and helpful to my understanding and My TA was really helpful for homework questions and really attentive, making worksheets to do in discussion about topics we were confused on. Midterm was fair, but had some tricky parts if you don't actually understand content. The final is a group project and pretty open ended for what dataset you analyze and model. Overall, would definitely take again!!

So far my favorite professor, full of passion for teaching stats. He is mainly a lecturer, so he focuses on teaching rather than research, which I suppose leads to a very enjoyable classroom environment and teaching style. He teaches course material in detail but explains concepts clearly and makes use of many examples in his slides so the class stays engaging. Also, he posts all of his lectures after class, super helpful. What I love the most is the opportunity to conduct a group project, he provided us more than enough time so our group was able to compose a very thorough research project.

I actually don't recommend him. All of his reviews say he's really good but honestly he has way too many slides and goes over them super quick within 50 minutes. His homeworks are extremely hard for no reason and none of them are dropped. Does not curve either.

Such a fun class! Although the lectures are at 9 am and mandatory, they are so engaging and fun and you feel like you are learning. He requires lecture view quizzes, where he tells you 3 arbitrary letters throughout the lecture so that you can just answer the quiz on BruinLearn after. Luckily, he records lectures but you will only get 2/3 of the letters but it won't really affect your score. His homework is nicely paced and he requries you to participate on CampusWire which is nice as someone is always online to answer your questions. No midterm!! And the final was online, idk if it was cause of the protests, and really fair. 10/10 would take again!

Miles is definitely one of my favorite professors at UCLA! The lectures are clearly delivered and engaging as always, and what we are expected to learn and to be tested on are clear as well. Also, Miles is always very nice and patient, I can tell he cares about his students and is always willing to help. I enjoyed taking classes with him so much, and would definitely recommend his classes to everyone. It was a very great experience, and I think I have learned useful knowledge which would help my future studies and career as well as gotten many invaluable life advices from him.
