Alex Lyford

Alex is by far the best professor at Middlebury. I took this class purely because I had once accidentally found myself in his office hours in warner, and his enthusiasm for the material convinced me on the spot I had to take a class with him, no matter what. Alex is so supportive of students interests and applications for stats. I never thought I had an interest in statistics until I took this class. Seriously. There's a reason why his classes are always over-enrolled by 10+ people. Just take the class.

Stat 201 with Lyford was one of the best courses I have taken at Midd. Alex made this course genuinely enjoyable in every single class. It can be intimidating to enter this course having no coding background, but it is most definitely manageable if you put in the time. I enjoyed the style of teaching Alex incorporated into this course. He would challenge us to build our intuition across statistics and data science. The homework and exams in this course force you to digest the material in a way that can be applied to unique situations. Although the exams were quite difficult, Alex prepared us adequately and graded us fairly.

Alex is awesome and made this course super enjoyable. When I took this class we met once a week for three hours and his teaching style made it bearable to sit through. There was not a ton of work outside of class just a few projects here and there.
