Miles Chen is the GOAT of professors. You MUST take a class with him before graduating. He's the nicest and funniest dude ever. Most importantly, he knows how to teach! His lectures are SUPER clear and easy to follow. His tests are extremely fair. 10/10 would recommend!

Professor Chen is by far the best professor at UCLA. Strongly recommend him! He's super funny, and made his class enjoyable. Unlike the majority of professors at UCLA, Chen is actually human. He not only cares about his students' success in the class but constantly reminded us that are well-being was more important than a bad grade.

I didn't think I would like statistics that much, but Miles changed my mind. He's a wonderful lecturer who goes through concepts thoroughly and in an engaging manner. His tests are fair and easy to do well in if you do your homework and attend lecture. He's also very caring and understands that students are stressed from other classes. If you need help with the class or have any concerns, he's easily accessible. Simply put, Miles is an ideal professor.

I would definitely take him again.

I never went to lecture because it was podcasted, but in case you ever need to take his class, here's my take. He's an excellent professor. His exams are very well written and are easy if you take the time to focus on the material. He is definitely one of the best professors I have had at UCLA, and I can not recommend him anymore than I currently do. All the best to Miles.

Grade: I

Professor Chen is one of the best professors I've had here at UCLA so far. He's a very straightforward lecturer and always uses simple examples to help you understand statistics. His lectures could get a little boring every now and then, but he likes to randomly slip in unexpected humor and lighthearted jokes. He's a super kindhearted man and really cares about the well being of his students. I can't recommend him a professor highly enough. Take this class with him if you can!

One of the best professors that I have ever taken at UCLA. He is so kind and caring. He made the class so interesting. I actually understood what was being done in class despite hating math! He might have even inspired me to attempt the Statistics minor. I know most majors require Stats 10 as a pre-requisite and I would highly recommend taken Miles Chen. It would be so much fun and easy. The grade is divided into 4 quizzes, 4 labs, 3 exams, participation and homework. Since there are so many things, it is possible to do bad in one thing and still get a good grad. I haven't received the grade for this class yet but I am expecting nothing below an A. Best class ever!!!

I wish that all classes could be like Stats 10. Professor Chen moves at a really steady pace throughout the whole quarter, which I liked because I get overwhelmed when professors try to rush through the material. The material itself is not hard either. Professor Chen makes it extremely easy to understand. Some of his exam questions are a bit tricky (mostly just conceptual ones), but his tests are totally doable and it is pretty easy to receive an A. Be careful, though, because he only places 20-30 questions on midterms and they are all multiple choice, so if you get a couple questions wrong, you will already be in the B range (& the class isn't curved). I totally recommend Professor Chen! He truly cares about his students and I really appreciate that.

I had Stats 10 with Miles and it was such a wonderful experience. He really cares about students and has a very easy to follow teaching style. The material for this course is very simple, if you took AP stats you will probably sleep straight through this class, as it doesn't even get to Chi Squared tests. All exams are multiple choice and the quizzes are more problem based. He will provide you with everything you need to succeed and you can use as much or as little of his resources if you know what you need to do well in the class. As a person, he is "adorkable" and has a beautiful family. You can't help but love this red polo-clad man.

I've recommended Miles Chen to all of my friends here at UCLA, not exaggerating. He's an amazing professor and the sweetest guy ever. He makes the class as manageable for students as possible -- he makes homework optional, posts lecture notes online, posts videos of every lecture, posts practice quizzes, posts a practice final...he's the best. Lectures can be a bit slow on occasion but at least they're never too fast, and he's really funny and nice. Very approachable guy. 10/10 love Miles Chen please take him if you have the chance!!

Professor Chen is actually one of the best professors I've had at UCLA! He cares so much about his students, gives lots of extra credit and tests very fairly. He presents the material in a VERY clear way and gives lots of review! I did not think I would like Stats 10 but it turned out to be one of my favorite classes because of him! He said "teaching this class is my dream job." Like can you get any better of a professor??? Take him!!
