Oh goodness, where do I begin? Taylor is great, very chill guy if you can get past your 94.999 grade that you might end up with. The material forces you to become good at R and Prof Brown does everything he can one-on-one to level up your understanding. With that said, do not underestimate the programming quizzes. Those are essentially the exams for the class and can tank your grade if you don't study for them. The nice thing is they're front-loaded and they'll be behind you before you're halfway through the semester. Interesting class, good luck!

This class isn't that difficult, except for the in class quizzes. It isn't too hard to get high As on every other component of the class (especially the project, on which you can get a 100). Coming to class is kind of required because of the graded daily assignments, but watching the lecture videos beforehand isn't really necessary (as the code scripts are posted). The HWs are mostly doable, except when there are some gradescope checks which aren't visible, therefore you kind of have to wing those points. The quizzes are annoying, so study well. The workload overall isn't that much at all (maybe 3-4 hrs max for a HW).
The professor is pretty average, and very approachable. He is mostly helpful if you need questions answered or stats advice, or just want to talk.
