Comment:
Dr. J is a very smart guy, took him for both 120B and 120C. His midterms are much easier than his finals in my opinion. Read the chapters in the book work out the examples in there and you'll do well in the course. Offers chance to make midterm weight into the final if you did not perform well on the midterm.

Comment:
Prof J is clearly very smart but that doesn't exactly transfer to making the tough material painless. I found the tests in this class to be extremely difficult even though they were open note, open book and I studied a ton. Thank god for curves because I know I did poorly on the final but still somehow managed a b in the class.

Comment:
I think Dr.J is one of the smartest professor I had the chance to take a class with. His lecture is taught completely without ever looking at any book or material almost without any mistakes. He is also very fair, with his exams reflecting similar degree to his homework and suggested problems. I can't read his handwriting most of the time though :P

Comment:
Heavy accent and confusing handwriting. While it's clear that he knows what he's talking about, you have to make sure to be paying close attention during the whole lecture (otherwise you'll be lost for the remainder of the class). I personally did a lot more reading from the textbook than I usually need to. Easy tests, though!

Comment:
He's one of the brightest professors in the stats department, not to mention incredibly humble and approachable. His lectures were a bit confusing and hard to relate back to the homework, but the practice midterm and final are pretty much identical to the exams. You can't skip class because the exams are lecture heavy. Class material is fair.

The professor is knowledgable and nice. His test is not that hard. On the other hand, he may get used to teach graduate students and the knowledge taught in class is very hard to understand. He is still a good prof tho.

He's a great professor. Alot of knowledge and formulas in his head so get ready to have alot in mind. He's very passionate about helping his student and he's more familiar with grad students who are committed student. Now with that said, if your class decides to not show up to class than expect a final based off of his lecture word for word.

Dr. J is a boss! The most knowledgeable statistics professor I have ever had. He teaches the class without using notes, and rarely makes any mistakes. Clear, concise lectures. Despite open book, open note exams the tests are somewhat challenging so don't underestimate them.

Never went to class (relied on the emails reminding us to come to tests), no CLUE what was going on, never did homework (quiz on hw in sections but TA would give answers and then have us copy that down). Since open note/open book, I was able to hone my crazy math skills on test days and get a B. If you don't need to take the 120B, this is your man.

Dude, his lectures are the best lectures in statistics or mathematics you will ever find!! He does all this without using any notes. Do you know of any other professor who can do that?? I thought not! Dr. J strolls into class picks up the chalk and literally takes you to school. He knows it! He's the best at taking difficult ideas and expl

He was a very good teacher and explained the material clearly, although he was a little hard to understand. But altogether he was a very approachable professor, and the class is not too hard.

A great teacher. He knows his stuff....class is boring though and he has a thick accent so it's hard to understand him sometimes. If you get a really good TA, you're almost guaranteed at least a B. I agree...get a TA who speaks English fluently!

Easy course if you keep up with the HW. Dr. J can be hard to understand with his accent. So try to get a TA that speaks fluent english.
