Spring 2025 - This is the best class I've taken at UCLA! Prof. Lloyd-Smith is an amazing professor who really cares about his students. His lectures are extremely engaging and his homework assignments are fair. His quizzes are very easy if you have been paying attention. The best part of this class was the final project at the end -- you really get to put together all the skills developed through the quarter and come up with a final product. Throughout the project, the professor and TA (Santiago) were very helpful and involved. Overall, I would definitely recommend taking this class with Prof. Lloyd-Smith-you will definitely learn important modeling skills!
