Sam Byrne

Overall I learned a good bit but did not retain a ton of the knowledge. It was useful to learn R in the lab setting which is an important skill to have going forward. Sam was a good professor but you could tell biostats is not his passion which made the lectures a bit boring at times. Overall my class was really fun because we had a good group of students and lab was rewarding.

Biostats with Sam Byrne is a great course based in R that allowed me to become much more comfortable with the statistical programming language. The grading was based around take home exams that were fairly structured and homework/problem sets. Overall I found the course very easy to succeed in if you are willing to put in effort.

Sam Byrne is an excellent professor. His lectures are very informative and engaging. He is very helpful in explaining complex code in R whenever it is necessary and the class is designed very well. He is very accomodating with deadlines and he is relaxed with grading although students rarely have difficulties with exams and projects since he is very thorough in class about how to approach them.
