Alex Lyford
I took this course as a FYSE in Fall 2025. Every other week we get introduced to a new board game and then we'll spend sometimes covering the mechanics, complexities, aesthetics and strategies covered within each game. It was a really fun and enjoyable experience, with a supportive classroom environment and the best human being in Alex Lyford. 10/10 would recommend.
Stat 201 is high-pressure, but the material is interesting and valuable for life. It is a great STEM class to keep math skills alive and to balance other humanities classes. Likely, it will be one of the hardest classes for that semester, but it is worth the challenge.
Alex is a great professor who is insanely knowledgeable. His teaching style is very informative and makes it very engaging. I loved this course. It was fairly class based and not too much work at home besides the final projects.
