Fall 2022 - This class is so much more of a headache than it is worth. Somehow I would go to lectures and be more confused about various topics than just going into a topic with zero info. Like a typical Wu class, grade breakdown was 7% quizzes based on completion, 45% Homeworks (6 total, one of which was during finals week), and 48% Final. We received zero feedback after the 2nd homework before taking the final. Basically, you have no idea what you do or don't know or where you stand in the class. The final exam was also quite difficult and half of it was nothing like the previous quiz or homework questions. I watched all of Prof Chen's 102c lectures on youtube before the final (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) and finally understood the course. It's clear to me the difference in teaching between the two professors, so I would try to take this course under another professor (if possible).

Fall 2023 - DISASTER. DOESN'T know how to teach. DOESN'T know how to make clear slides. DOESN'T know how to grade (highest score for the final project is 84%). The ONLY thing he knows is how to make easy concepts more confusing. One of the worst stats profs I've ever met at UCLA for the past six years.
