APMA 3100

This class is actually fairly easy. The course does move somewhat quickly and subsequent topics rely on your mastery of previous ones, but the workload and the test are completely manageable. The WeBWorK questions are significantly harder than the worksheets or tests (of which there are 4). Professor Dizaji doesn't always give the best explanations and is an average lecturer. The two projects could be quite a handful if you aren't a CS major but are completely trivialized if you know some basic programming. Overall a very cool course that taught me more about the subject.

Overall, the class is an interesting introduction to probability modeling. The class begins with set theory and then moves into probability functions, covering single and multiple variables. The class has interesting topics, but Professor Dizaji made it hard to follow sometimes during the lecture. There were times when the lecture was confusing, and he didn't do well in clearing up questions. The TAs had the answer key to worksheets, so they were able to answer questions, but it was sometimes difficult for them to answer conceptual questions as well. Professor Dizaji also varied from the schedule of most other Probability classes. He didn't introduce the two course-long projects until right before spring break, having one due right when we got back. It made the project work more of a time crunch, and we had already covered the content necessary to finish the project. Professor Dizaji was at least willing to work with students if they were unable to take the learning checks that took place every other Friday. Overall, if you follow along with the textbook and lectures, it's not a difficult class, but at the same time it can be boring at times.
