This class was not easy, but it is very doable if you put in the work. Not to mention, Miles Chen is probably the best Statistics professor I have ever come across. His lectures are well organized and clear and his exams are very fair (plus, he has a cute dog which you may see if you go to live lecture). The homework projects took me some time, so I'd start early and not overload on other difficult classes. Overall I learned a lot in this class and I would gladly take any other class taught by Miles Chen.

The exam is really long and hard, he mislead students for some course logistics. Very complicated to succeed in this class. He apparently has favoritism and is willing to answer certain students' answers over others. I took stats 15 with this professor. Not recommended. ***k *** er

After taking STATS 102A and 102B with Professor Chen, I completed the 102 series with him. This class aligned closer to 102B than 102A, as the focus was on the algorithms and their implementation rather than having to code extensively (coding was still required). With the midterms, time was a small concern (especially for the second one), but Professor Chen allowed students to have notes with them, making things more manageable. The material of this course does have real-life applications, which was nice because we saw examples of how some of the algorithms used might be implemented outside of the classroom. Ultimately, Professor Chen explains the material well and engages the students, which is why I would recommend taking 102C (and the entire 102 series) with him, if possible.

Miles is a great lecturer. I think the course is a jump from 20, where there was a lot of hand holding. Now it is expected you use all your resources, including the internet. Be prepared for individual learning too (not all the answers are in the notes). Miles is helpful in OH and on Campuswire too. Great class!

Miles is one of the best professors at UCLA. This class was extremely useful and very manageable. He is a very engaging lecturer who cares deeply about his students. The finals are a bit rough, but he curves and adjusts grades so that it doesn't really matter in the end. 10/10 would recommend. Take this class, you will not regret it!

Miles Chen is one of the best professors in this school and he is always passionate!

I would bear in mind that the homework are the major component of this class: you definitely need to spend some time on getting them right and will drop points if you don't However, I thought that the tests were fair and manageable, particularly if you put in a reasonable amount of effort in the class. Chen is also a compelling lecturer and makes things easy to understand. I would recommend taking this class.

One of the best professors I’ve taken in my academic career. He makes the subject incredibly easy to understand, his lectures are clear, he offers a lot of office hours, and he ultimately just wants his students to succeed. The homework is straightforward if you pay attention in lecture and do the readings. The final is a group project, and my one piece of advice would be to select your groups wisely. The workload is incredibly manageable if your group is evenly splitting up the work for the final project. Overall, amazing class and extremely interesting content!

Bro is always cheesing. Honestly this class was great, professors slides were very useful and he did a great job at explaining things. The homework was kind of tough but you get about a week and. half to work on it. Overall would take again and if you can take him youll learn alot.

Pretty simple class - and a really good introduction to R for a beginner beginner. Lectures were really clear and slides were always posted. Office Hours were very frequent and helpful to my understanding and My TA was really helpful for homework questions and really attentive, making worksheets to do in discussion about topics we were confused on. Midterm was fair, but had some tricky parts if you don't actually understand content. The final is a group project and pretty open ended for what dataset you analyze and model. Overall, would definitely take again!!
