APMA 3120

Overall a good class. There are only five homework sets and two exams throughout the semester. Professor Lark is always willing to make the class more reasonable based on students' schedules, especially for the final exam.

If you have to take APMA312, take it with Lark. He makes it as easy as he possibly can.

Very thorough in explaining concepts while relating relevant applications in finance, engineering etc. Tests and homeworks are fair and straightforward. Can be weird in being very stingy in providing help during office hours but overall is a very good professor. Most interesting of all the APMA classes.

I took Professor Lark's statistics course over the summer and had a very good experience. A great guy, and great professor, I fully reccommend him.

Great course with Lark. I took it early and I am very glad I did. Lark is a very engaging professor, and holds a wide office hour range which is nice whether you use them or not. Homeworks were 50% of the grade and two tests made up the other 50%, but there were only 5 homework assignments (which were all relatively easy) so focus on those and you should be set

Lark knows how to teach and cares a lot about his students.

He knows his stuff, he is a really good teacher and the exams are pretty straight forward

Half of the grade was homework, but the grading for hw was inconsistent at times. Lark doesn't like to budge on his TA's random grading unfortunately.

Lark was a good lecturer, he kept the material easy and straightforward. 50% of the grade is HW, which isn't very difficult. The other 50% is the two exams, which are also not very hard but he grades strictly

50% HW (5 HW assignments of varying value), 20% midterm, 30% final exam. One of the best math teachers I've had at UVa (provides a lot of examples, explanations are very clear). Class is straight-forward.
