I loved this class!!! Miles Chen is a great statistics lecturer and is also really nice, funny, and down-to-earth. It was exactly like my high school stats class and I was good at stats, so I will say, it might be harder for those who are not math-inclined. But if you do generally like stats, it's a great course. The labs were fairly easy because the TA pretty much walks you through it, but working with R (the coding language) can be really tricky and foreign. There were weekly quizzes on Gradescope which were really straightforward too if you understood the concepts from lecture. On the midterm and final, we were given plenty of time to complete 50 multiple choice questions and they were totally fair assessments. Great class!

Miles Chen is such a sweetie and is so passionate about statistics BUT I definitely thought the class was a bit boring. Like many people I had to take this class as a pre req for my major and I think if you have to take the class he's the guy to take it with. His lectures were a bit boring but very straight forward and never confusing. The only tricky part of the class was the coding aspect, but it was all the basics and attending office hours or even just meeting with TA's in discussion sections they would kind of guide you through each lab assignment. My laziness and summer attitude made this class a mild challenge for me, but I definitely think if you put in a little effort that it is pretty clear and easy.

I would rec! Pretty easy if you give semi attention in class. when i took it, it was structured:

You can watch it on youtube if you want but he'll randomly say 3 letters during the video and you had to write it down and do a quiz later. that way he knows you participated. There were optional problems and then a quiz at the end of the week. the quiz is pretty easy if you do the work. I forgot if its a weekly lab project or a biweekly project but your ta normally goes over it with you. it might be a little confusing in the beginning if you don't know R.

I felt like the exams were fair and not trying to trick you. it's pretty easy to get an A if you're proficient in algebra.

Chen is a nice prof!!

In the STATS10, you will get the free credits for the assignment. But I still recommend you to finish it after the lecture. It's similar to the question in the midterm or the final.

He doesn't curve students' grades. It's not difficult to get an A in this class. But if you want an A+. It may take you some effort and luck. May you need a 98 or higher.

Chen will upload the lecture video on Youtube, and students don't have to attend the lecture. He usually speaks very clearly, so even students with poor English skills can watch his lecture at 2x speed. Such as me. My English sucks.

If you have studied STATS in AP, the class will be easy for you. If you haven't, just feel easy to take it.

Pay attention in class, do the homework, and you'll get an A.

Easy Peasy

Professor Chen is the nicest professor I have ever had, he cares a lot about his students and is passionately in love with Statistics. This class is a great introductory statistics course, and it is very easy whether you have taken a stats class before or not.

Professor Chen is a great Professor overall. He explained everything well and made sure to explain things in a way people could understand. The workload is EXTREMELY light aka one midterm and the final (he doesn’t grade homework) BUT make sure to do the hw problems anyways because they’ll help you a lot !!!

On the one hand I spent $1395 to take this course. On the other hand, I went to half the lectures, didn't pay attention, and got an A+.

More seriously, the professor seemed clear and nice, but the course is not up to UCLA standards. But maybe I just feel this way because I'm a math major taking stats 10 as a life sciences GE ;)

Took this class during the summer and got a B+, which is great imo. However, I believe that many of the reviews give over-inflated reviews, such as the review below me claiming they got an "A" when grades hadn't even been uploaded by the time they posted the review.
This was a good class, but nothing out of the ordinary- all he did was literally do his job, which was teach properly and show that he's actually one of the few teachers that care about his students.
I think the first final was difficult and the second final was moderate. This class felt very rushed, but would sometimes get very boring during the two hours (I even saw some people fall asleep during the class).
I came in having these really high expectations but honestly, it was whatever. Nevertheless, he is a great person and a great teacher, I just would not say this class is a walk in the park. I would suggest going to lectures and the labs because some lab content was very confusing but our TA (who was great too) walked us through it.
TLDR: Go to class/discussion/lab. Study. Don't go in overconfident. Does require you to focus and review. Class: 7/10. Professor: 8.5/10. I would suggest to take this class throughout a quarter instead of a summer course.

Mr. Miles Chen is literally one of the best professors I've had at UCLA so far.
He is a great instructor in that he is very clear on what concepts are important to understand and know for exams. In lecture (which he records), he will provide multiple examples so that you really understand the concepts (rather than just memorize formulas). He also is very gracious in terms of homework and participation, and I didn't find the workload to be hard or tedious. Obviously read your textbook and do practice problems on your own, but that's not asking a lot.
But what makes him great isn't his teaching skills, but his care for you outside of the classroom. I remember before our midterm, he told us that grades are just a number, and that they don't determine our worth. This helped ease my test-taking experience, but also made me realize that some professors really do care for your mental well-being and emotional health. He encourages you to have fun outside the classroom and to rest. I think this is advice that not a lot of professors just give because (truthfully) a lot of professors don't really care.
We need more professors like Miles.
