Winter 2020 - Just finished a midterm for this class. I haven't got a grade from this class yet, so I have no idea how he would deal with curving issue. But the lectures, homework, and exams are DEFINITELY HORRIBLE experience! I do not feel like learning anything from the mandatory lectures, and his unorganized class structure just made students not able to concentrate on the materials. The notes posted online was just like sketchy drafts, and professor gave practice WITHOUT answer. The questions in the exam were also very unfairly hard and did not match the difficulty of the problem sets he usually gave. Overall, I do not recommend taking 101A with Professor Almohalwas if you want to learn anything.

Summer 2024 - I took this class virtually over 6 weeks in Summer Session A. Grade distribution was 20% for homework, 20% for a final project, 25% for midterm or final (whichever grade was lower), and 35% for midterm or final (whichever grade was higher). Dr. Cha's syllabus, slides, and expectations for the course were extremely clear. I still tend to reference her slides for other courses and feel like I genuinely learned a lot. The grading of assignments was very fair. The only thing of note is that our two online exams required a lockdown browser with camera and audio on your device, but Dr. Cha was very proactive in making sure we knew she was available in case of any technical difficulties.

Spring 2022 - The best professor I've had in the UCLA stats path, however I can acknowledge why people don't like the pacing of his classes. For both Stats 10 and 101A he used a mini midterm system which I personally really liked, and kept the content relevant, making it hard to fall behind. He explains concepts really well, and I was excited to go to lecture. If you like the midterm system then he's a 10/10 prof.
