Spring 2025 - 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 creates 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.
