Quarter: Spring 2016
Grade: I

Professor Chen is one of the best professors I've had here at UCLA so far. He's a very straightforward lecturer and always uses simple examples to help you understand statistics. His lectures could get a little boring every now and then, but he likes to randomly slip in unexpected humor and lighthearted jokes. He's a super kindhearted man and really cares about the well being of his students. I can't recommend him a professor highly enough. Take this class with him if you can!

One of the best professors that I have ever taken at UCLA. He is so kind and caring. He made the class so interesting. I actually understood what was being done in class despite hating math! He might have even inspired me to attempt the Statistics minor. I know most majors require Stats 10 as a pre-requisite and I would highly recommend taken Miles Chen. It would be so much fun and easy. The grade is divided into 4 quizzes, 4 labs, 3 exams, participation and homework. Since there are so many things, it is possible to do bad in one thing and still get a good grad. I haven't received the grade for this class yet but I am expecting nothing below an A. Best class ever!!!

I wish that all classes could be like Stats 10. Professor Chen moves at a really steady pace throughout the whole quarter, which I liked because I get overwhelmed when professors try to rush through the material. The material itself is not hard either. Professor Chen makes it extremely easy to understand. Some of his exam questions are a bit tricky (mostly just conceptual ones), but his tests are totally doable and it is pretty easy to receive an A. Be careful, though, because he only places 20-30 questions on midterms and they are all multiple choice, so if you get a couple questions wrong, you will already be in the B range (& the class isn't curved). I totally recommend Professor Chen! He truly cares about his students and I really appreciate that.

I had Stats 10 with Miles and it was such a wonderful experience. He really cares about students and has a very easy to follow teaching style. The material for this course is very simple, if you took AP stats you will probably sleep straight through this class, as it doesn't even get to Chi Squared tests. All exams are multiple choice and the quizzes are more problem based. He will provide you with everything you need to succeed and you can use as much or as little of his resources if you know what you need to do well in the class. As a person, he is "adorkable" and has a beautiful family. You can't help but love this red polo-clad man.

I've recommended Miles Chen to all of my friends here at UCLA, not exaggerating. He's an amazing professor and the sweetest guy ever. He makes the class as manageable for students as possible -- he makes homework optional, posts lecture notes online, posts videos of every lecture, posts practice quizzes, posts a practice final...he's the best. Lectures can be a bit slow on occasion but at least they're never too fast, and he's really funny and nice. Very approachable guy. 10/10 love Miles Chen please take him if you have the chance!!

Professor Chen is actually one of the best professors I've had at UCLA! He cares so much about his students, gives lots of extra credit and tests very fairly. He presents the material in a VERY clear way and gives lots of review! I did not think I would like Stats 10 but it turned out to be one of my favorite classes because of him! He said "teaching this class is my dream job." Like can you get any better of a professor??? Take him!!

Miles Chen is one of the best professors I have had at UCLA. He is an AMAZING teacher. He cares a lot about student learning and is excellent at explaining concepts. His tests are super fair and really easy if you keep up with the work. Not only is he an excellent teacher, but he is also just an incredibly kind and compassionate person. He understands that UCLA is a difficult school and cares a lot about his student's emotional well being. He is so sweet and a wonderful human being. 10/10 would recommend!

Professor Chen was one of the best professors I had this year. He is so caring and passionate about what he teaches. Stats 10 with Professor Chen was relatively easy, and he teaches the students everything they need to know to excel in the class. There are quizzes in discussion section, 2 midterms, 1 final, and 4 labs, but they are all very manageable, and both the professor and my TA were willing to assist anyone with studying. The textbook isn't necessary to do well in the class, but doing the homework problems in the textbook is very useful because it provides students with extra practice problems.

Overall, I would definitely recommend taking Stats10 with Professor Chen!
Thank you Professor Chen for being so kind and considerate this quarter! We all really appreciate it :) Have a nice summer guys~

Chen is one of the best professors on this entire campus! Loved his class and will definitely recommend to all of my friends. He made going to class at 2pm on a Friday worth it! Chen makes the material clear and understandable and his lectures are very interesting. He writes his slides live which is something that I really appreciated as everyone was able to copy them down before he moved on. Do the homework and practice materials that he provides as they are good study tools for the actual midterms and finals. This class is doable no matter what your stats background is. Thank you Miles Chen for such an awesome quarter in your class!

Miles is an amazing professor! Normally I don't review professors, but since he asked all the students for reviews/evals, I decided to write this one. I don't like statistics or probability in general, but Miles made the class very doable and engaging at times. The class material isn't difficult in itself as it only goes into introductory statistics with use of z and t tables. The class is graded on two midterms, one final, and four quizzes. All his exams are fair. The conceptual ones can be a little tricky given multiple choice. Homework is optional. His dedication to the students and class is phenomenal. He podcasts everything, posts both lecture videos and slides with his own notes, is handy with technology, and is super easy to approach. He moves at a steady pace and is as clear and direct as a professor can be. Honestly, he is such an endearing and loveable professor, and he clearly cares for his students' state of mind and well-being. I highly recommend to take him for stats or any other classes with him! Thank you Professor for making my spring quarter a bit brighter and bearable!
