I was skeptical going into LS 40 because I had heard that the class was new and disorganized. It is true that there isn't much of a textbook, and it's clear that material is still being developed. However, I really enjoyed this class. Professor V is very accommodating, and she adjusted well to online learning. She was very empathetic towards her students and understood the stress we were under due to COVID during spring quarter. She even adjusted the final for us. Stats can be boring but she tried her best to make lecture engaging, and really listened to our questions to help us understand. She also posted her slides, which are very clear and well done. Personally, I enjoyed the coding aspects of this class a lot, and thought that the coding lined up really nicely with the course material (unlike the LS 30 series). The material is very relevant to modern technology and I hope to apply it in the future. Overall I would highly recommend this class, especially since its easier to enroll in than Stats 13.
