Winter 2015 - Super easy class and I definitely recommend this professor. Everything he gives you are straight and to the point. Unfortunately for me, I slacked off after Aceing the fist midterm and got a C in the second one. I pulled off the class with an A- but an A was entirely doable if I didn't underestimate the class so much. The labs are a pain because they're tedious, not difficult. The discussions are made solely help you with the labs anyways, and to be honest you don't really need them. Homework is also a pain but not hard at all. Go to lecture and pay half attention in class and you should still be able to do well. Class was participation (lecture), homework, labs, and 2 midterms + 1 final. Cheat sheets are allowed which are super helpful. Selling: Intro to Stats textbook AND course reader for 50 dollars (may include several labs if you want them) text **********

Spring 2025 - Nate is a great instructor who has extensive industry experience in Data Science field. He also bring a few friends/ex-colleagues from previous work or UCLA Department of Statistics alumni. His class note and slides are very clear and useful. The entire coursework/projects are hands on experience what he have learn from his 10+ years of industry not heavily focus on R and theoretical but I would easy this is more practical learning experience. The class projects could be rigor depending on the subject of your choice. The requirement is simply implement a web API service using LLM. (i.e. OpenAI API, Huggingface, or Langchain) I highly recommend whomever in the field or who wants to be in DS.
