Comment:

There are not enough good things to say about Prof. Adhikari. She's hilarious, knowledgeable, and engaging. Although 134 was an extremely difficult course, Adhikari likes to focus on the overall intuition behind things by providing clear and consistent examples in class to support the logic. She invites questions and encourages participation.

Comment:

Both she and DeNero did a fantastic job creating a course that would be accessible for everyone. There were some issues with the course logistics, but many of these stem merely from the sheer size of the class (several hundred students). I would highly recommend this course to other students who would like a good introduction to statistics and CS.

The best professor I've had at Berkeley so far. Never before have I had a professor that was SO clear in her lectures and where I didn't have to learn from the textbook at all. She's brilliant and I'm so in awe of her.

Comment:

Everyone knows she's great. I'm taking her again next semester. She's brilliant and dry, witty and to the point. Calculated, caring, charismatic, and in her words, "not a softy". She struggled with data8 a little because it's not stats, which she mains. But she is a great teacher and mind. Honestly, the course was easy to bite into and an easy A.

Ani is not a Distinguished Teaching Award recipient for no reason. I took Stat 134 with her in Spring 2016, and her lectures were crystal clear. 134 is conceptually difficult but she and the GSI team were pretty amazing. If you have a chance, take any class taught by her!

Very knowledgeable and is an amazing lecturer. She explains everything very clearly, and provides insight that is not found in the book. Grading was fairly distributed, mostly A's and B's. Definitely take a class with her if you can.

Took Stats 20 with Adhikari Fall '13. If you have the option to take a class with her, I would 100% recommend it. The way she presented the material was so clear that I was learning without even knowing that I was. She never put up notes from lecture, but attendance, attention, and good notes will take you far with her class. Lucky to have her!

This was a trio of introductory online courses on statistics, and she was able to explain the subject in a very accessible and simplified way. She uses her voice wonderfully: has a clear pronunciation, stresses the important points, has calmness and humour, and great clarity.
