Not only he’s a good lecturer and teacher, he’s just an amazing person. He’s very nice, listens to your concerns and cares about students. The practice tests he gives before the exams are very helpful and the handouts are very clear so you’ll know what exactly is expected from you to know. Take him!!

Take him! You'll definitely love him once you take his lecture. :) Mike is such an amazing professor, and I hope he'll teach some stats upper division classes later so that I can take his wonderful lecture again!

Michael truly cares about his students. He's AMAZING! His lectures are easy to follow and he posts lecture notes online. The class is also bruincasted. Homework can be a little bit challenging, but he uses campuswire to answer students' questions. He's really passionate about R. If you're taking STATS 20, choose Professor Tsiang. 12/10 recommend.

The professor really cares about the students and is always nice and patient.

Best stats professor hands down. TAKE PROF MIKE for stats 10. His class was very engaging and he cracked funny jokes at times. He cares about his students, if you go with him with concerns, he will do all in his power to make you feel better in terms of your stance in the class. He is a very lenient grader, which allows you to breath and focus on your understanding of the class and material rather than overly stressing about you grade. I will say that the first half of the class is easy to understand and the first midterm was pretty straight forward. If you study a good amount, you'll do fine on the exam. However, the second half of the quarter is a little tougher. The material gets slightly confusing but you'll do fine if you complete your homework and go to lecture. If you're still confused, he has a good amount of office hours. All in all, TAKE stats 10 with Prof Mike!!!!!!

Great professor who focuses more about the students’ learning than their grades. He offers a lot of extra credit, the tests are multiple choice, and the labs and homework assignments are not too complicated, either. The professor does use the slides a lot, but he does explain them really well, so I definitely recommend Bruincast, too!

Mike is the professor you want for Stats 10. He lectures thoroughly and clearly, he gives out hella extra credit, and homework is completely optional (although helpful). You get one cheat sheet for each midterm and three cheat sheets total for the final. Labs are done using R and do require a bit of conceptual understanding, but are overall doable. Just make sure to go to lab to get what you need from your TA. Mike is also a great guy in general, lots of Parks and Rec references, super relatable.
Best experience I could've had for this class. Mike gives you every opportunity to get a good grade. Would take again and highly recommend this professor.
