They should change the professor name in the course registration on one.uf to "You" because that's what this class feels like.

None of the lectures are formatted like how the exams are. The lectures are very R heavy, but the questions on the exam are all meant to be answered by hand. The massive group project is also a nightmare if you get bad group mates.

He's a nice person, but isn't good at teaching in a way to help people actually understand the content. Most people I talk to that take his classes say they needed to teach themselves all of the content, and that is the same for STA3180.

Use the practice exams and textbook to your advantage.

Great course, very important information to learn.

A complete waste of time. No concrete learning or explanation. Out of the 15-16 classes, 2 went for presentation, 2 for exams, and believe it or not, 2 for drinking coffee. No studying or learning happening. We simply type the code given. No understanding / reasoning behind the same.

Lots of homework that does not do anything to your grade. Very hard to pass if you have no coding experience. Class is structured poorly and hard to understand unless you are experienced.
