Alex Lyford
MATH
This could have been a very good class but unfortunately the schedule of the class was once a week and there were about 40 people in the class. This definitely took away from the class and it was also a coincidence that the eclipse was at the same time of one of our classes so we didnt have class that week
Really useful class - totally would recommend Professor Lyford to anyone. He's super enthusiastic about the material and is accommodating to students' needs. We learned about different statistical learning models using real life examples - everything is applied and you could choose to work on projects within your interests.
Alex is very enthusiastic and effective in teaching. He has lots of office hours outside of class. Homework and exams reflect what we learn in class. Exams are take home and open book/open internet.
