Most Helpful Review
Summer 2024 - I took the summer session so the content was accelerated but overall was still very manageable. No textbook is really needed because the slides copy-paste the most essential information and the z, t, and chi square tables are all provided on exams. I will say that this professor struggles to explain concepts clearly, and focuses a bit more on proving theorems (not tested) than actual application. I think the best strategy to get a good grade is to review the lecture slides then use the homeworks to test your understanding. The exams are the same difficulty level as the homeworks and there are few curveball questions. I'm pretty sure he curves depending on the grade distribution. Concepts from 170E are pretty much the foundation of this course so brush up on that before starting, as he will expect you to know poisson, gamma, beta, and chi square distributions, their expected values and their pdfs are fair game.
