Fall 2022 - Professor Yin was great. I've had some previous experience with probability, so many of the concepts are familiar, but this class uses a more formal approach with set theory. The professor spends a lot of time on examples, but they are well chosen to develop your ability to think about these kinds of problems. I didn't feel that any of them were repetitive, and they demonstrated important concepts from the course. Many came from very interesting questions as well. There are usually 5-8 questions per homework assignment, and these are usually more difficult or theoretical than the exam questions. The exams and grading are very fair.
