Alex Lyford
Alex Lyford is an incredibly enthusiastic and effective teacher. His love of the subject matter, his capabilities in the classroom and his willingness to work with students during many hours makes for good vibes all around.
This course taught me a lot about statistical learning and machine learning models. Professor Lyford is extremely helpful with the homework "mini projects" and the amount of application work in the class makes sure you not only know the material, but also how to code and make visualizations well in R.
This class genuinely made me enjoy stats, as someone who did not like stats at all. The course was pretty fast paced, but you really get used to it quite quickly. The professor is very friendly, genuine and helps a lot at office hours. Would 100% take again.
