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.

Install the software on your own computer and you no longer need to go to lab. The course teaches you stuff that you can learn by yourself in five hours.

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.

Great professor who really cares about his students. Fav professor

Professor Chen's exams and homework are hard. But they teach you how to apply your knowledge, which makes the process of completing his assignments highly rewarding. He is approachable during office hours and clear in his lectures. Don't be afraid to ask for help! If you are willing to put in that extra effort, the class will definitely teach you a lot.

No comment.

It's pretty much impossible to dislike Professor Chen, as a person as well as a professor. He's just such a nice, caring guy who does a great job of teaching the 102 series. He's also super laid-back. I've been fortunate to have many great professors during my time at UCLA, but he is definitely one of my favorites.
