Spring 2017 - Super easy class of course as essentially the last stats major course but worst lecturer I've had in my time at UCLA. Unfortunately, she's the only professor that teaches the course but in case you have another option in the future, I wouldn't take this with her! Her lecture slides and instructions are confusing so you never know what she expects or is asking of you. Her emails and lectures and handouts are filled with typos. Often times, she doesn't understand the question students are asking so its difficult to ask questions. Unorganized class, unorganized lecture, ineffective professor and difficult to communicate with. I'm sure she's nice and well known for her work academically, but definitely the worst professor which was a shame because this class was something the seniors looked forward to.
