LPPA 3640

This course was bearable but nothing special. It repeated so much content from STAT 2120 so I'm not really sure why both are required. Professor Myung is a pretty good lecturer -- if anything he tended to over-explain or repeat himself (a little painful when the concepts have already been covered in STAT 2120). The TA team and Professor Myung did seem very open to answering questions and working to help you learn. There were 6 homework assignments that took some time but were not overly difficult. The midterm was somewhat difficult but pretty fair. The final exam was optional. There is a research project where you first individually submit a proposal and then actually perform research with a group of three. The project was very doable but definitely took time and the quality of your group mattered a lot. I never ended up using the textbook because it was just an additional resource -- which was kind of annoying because it cost $50 to rent. My other main complaint was that since grades are curved for each TA and the final project wasn't graded before the final exam, I had very little idea of what my final grade would be. I have a programming background so the use of Stata wasn't too challenging -- I know some people have issues with it but it's mainly used on the homeworks so just start early enough to get TA help if needed. #tCFF23

Awesome guy!! Super friendly, patient, and understanding. Takes his time to answer any and all questions during his lectures, and he explains concepts in a way that is easy to understand and follow along even if you have no background in stats.
