Grade: DR

Peter Bentler is an extremely nice person. However, if you are a Psychology Major - even if you are interested in the subject- do NOT take this course! He will rant the whole class about mathematics concepts that are completely foreign to anyone who has not taken linear algebra. I'm a PSYCH MAJOR! THIS IS CROSS-LISTED! IT SHOULDN'T BE! Trust me, here's the worst part - during tests he expects you to be able to use linear algebra. If you're a statistics major, you will think it is easy.

Greatest statistics professor I've ever met in UCLA! REALLY nice and patient!
The materials are hard, so you have to be good at Statistics to get a good grade in the class.

Grade: A+

Professor Bentler is really a nice and helpful person! If you are confident in and familiar with Statistics, you will learn a lot from him. The topics might seem a bit hard in the first two weeks, but most students who stay until the end manage to understand the concepts.

There's a midterm and a paper for the final grade. Midterm is a bit hard, but you will do well if you understand the practice questions given by Professor Bentler. The final paper can be organized from the 4 assignments over the quarter, so the workload is not that big if you write under the instruction. The paper is designed for students to understand how to write a statistics research paper, and it is really helpful for those who wish to apply for graduate schools.
