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!
If you're gonna do Stats 10 do it with Miles. The labs are kind of annoying but if you have a cool TA they'll walk you through it.....the hardest part of this class is learning how to use Fathom. The quizzes that were given in section were really easy and the midterm/final weren't bad either. When Chen gives a practice quiz/test make sure you do it instead of the homework. The hw is only there to help you, it's never collected.
I have nothing more to add here that hasn't already been said before, but basically STATS 10 with Chen is a great class and I'd definitely recommend it. Chen is a great professor and makes everything really clear. The format of the class also makes it easy to get an A. The only annoying part about it is that it meets every day, but discussions are optional and sometimes so are the labs, so in the end I didn't mind. Good luck getting this class with Chen, but if you do you'll love it!
Surprisingly tough class - no longer take home exams but rather 1 midterm, 1 final and approx. 6 hw - depending on what he has time for. I don't believe he curves the class. Dedicate more time than you think you should for the class and make sure to memorize all the minutiae details from the course material and R and then I think you'll do well in this course.
Gotta love Chen.
Miles has changed, and I hope he's doing alright frankly. Awesome guy I still believe but he's not Smiles Chen at this point in time, I'll say. This class, in particular-- I have no idea what the curriculum even was, as he just bounces randomly around topics. Most unclear course curriculum I've ever taken by far. I actually cannot tell you what it was about in like than 6 sentences. Most pointless and unclear stats course thus far for me.
