Professor Chen is hands down the BEST professor I have ever had in my entire experience at UCLA. He is extremely helpful, nice, encouraging, and his teaching style is very clear and straightforward. His lectures, and lecture notes are fluid, and easily accessible. He is very caring and goes above and beyond for his students to grasp a clear understanding of the course material and to be successful in his class. Overall, professor Chen has been very inspiring to me and my experience as an undergraduate and I am very thankful that I was able to take stats with him!

If you are looking up professor Chen right now and are reading my review for him, just close your tab. Go to myucla and just enroll in his class. No other option. Negative regret guaranteed!

Probably one of the best professors I have ever taken at UCLA. He's really nice, funny, engaging in class, not to mention incredibly succinct in the way he teaches the material. He's an expert at linking the subject matter to the big idea, which is incredibly useful because now you don't just know how to crunch the numbers but understand what they mean. He always e-mails ahead of time and is very fair about posting assignments and grading. He posted some study guides and practise midterms/quizzes to help prepare, which shows how much time he puts into this class to make all this information just for the students.

Most of all, he treats his students like human beings. It's unfortunately not always the case at UCLA where in class sometimes you're treated like a number. After the midterm he gave a short speech on how grades aren't everything and basically told us not to give up. How many professors do you know at UCLA will open up to you like that? Professor Chen is awesome! Don't hesitate to take his class.

Took his Stats 10 class over summer and it was literally the easiest class I have taken at UCLA thus far. Never touched the textbook or did any sample problems outside of the ones that we worked through together during lecture. Everyone gets points for doing homework and he never collects HW so you get fully credit whether you did it or not. Labs were very easy if you went to section for them. Quizzes were easy as long as you reviewed the notes the night before. I'm not sure how the workload is during the regular school year, but over summer there were only 3 labs, 3 quizzes, a midterm, and a final. Both the midterm and the final were multiple choice and none of the questions were tricky. Overall, I put in very little effort and got an A. If you go to class and take notes, go to lecture, and study the night before quizzes and exams, this class should be fairly easy. He's also a really nice guy.

Homework 10% (EVERYONE GETS FULL CREDIT dont have to turn it in)
Midterm: 30% (all multiple choice)
Labs: 15% (annoying but recycled from other years and different professors)
Quiz: 15% (study and dont make dumb mistakes got a 78% first on and 100% last 2)
Final: 30% (harder than i thought)
I got a B+

Miles Chen is probably the best teacher not just in the Stats department but probably at UCLA. Everyone on here has good things to say about him and I honestly thought it was BS after first lecture because he was dry as hell and looked lame, but he is really good. YOU will understand the material he's very through.

Okay Miles Chen is by far the best and nicest professor that I have encountered at UCLA. The class is easy, but you actually learn at the same time. He is an amazing human being. It you already took AP Stats this class is a breeze. All you need to do is watch the lectures, which he also posts online. The book is not necessary if you don't need to do the homework.

Professor Miles Chen is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful and caring educators you will ever have the pleasure to work with at UCLA. He is overwhelmingly considerate of his students and mindful that they have their own lives with various hardships and commitments. Not only does Prof. Chen fully prepare his students for quizzes and exams by posting his lecture slides and videos on CCLE as well as fully engaging everyone with his clarity and cheerfulness, he is equally as attentive post-exam with his pep talks.

Miles Chen is one of the few professors who uses his personal college experiences to remind him that his students are all human and should be treated as such, not as numbers on a class attendance sheet. His quirkiness and thoughtfulness paired with his immense intellect make him comparable to Leonard Hofstadter from"The Big Bang Theory."

I almost wish the class was harder so I would have felt the need to go more often (but Chen's videos are actually amazing, such a great lecturer). If you just review his lecture videos and understand the quizzes, I honestly don't even think you'd need to do the homework! Although I skipped his lectures 40% of the time and never went to section unless it was the day of the quiz or the first day of a lab, I did attend the last lecture and wow. I have never heard a lecture hall give a louder applause for a professor at the end of the course, and I probably never will.

So stop looking at Bruinwalk reviews. Don't hesitate. Take Prof. Chen.

Professor Chen is hands down the chillest professor you will find at UCLA. I ended up with an A+ and put in about 20 minutes of study per week. I'm not sure if his syllabus has changed, but when he taught it in Winter 2016, his grading was made up of 103%, so you could lose 10 percentage points and still have an A. If I remember correctly, there was a final (30%), two midterms (15% each), 4 quizzes (15% total), 4 lab reports (15% total), and homework (free 10% because he does not check)!

Take the class with Miles, you won't regret it, I promise! Easy A+, easy GPA booster, and you learn quite a lot about statistics!

Great professor. Must take.

Easy class with helpful professor. TAs are not so great, but that's luck of the draw.
