Statistics

This class is hard. I won't sugarcoat it. However, Peterson is an amazing professor and the content is awesome. You dive into probability in every aspect of life, learning about cool statistical ideas like the birthday problem, casino games, COVID, and more. This will make you better at statistics and teaches you how to think. It is tough but worth it. Best class at Middlebury in my opinion.

Bayes is certainly the hardest course I have taken at Midd so far. That being said, I loved the class and felt that I learned a ton from it. If you are a stats or math major, I would definitely recommend this as an upper-level elective. The beginning of the semester is more homework-heavy, which pretty much had our entire class at office hours consistently. This was hard but we all bonded over it and it became quite a fun learning environment. Later part of the semester was all Case studies and a final project which were fun to work in pairs with real data and apply some of the things we learned. Overall really hard and time consuming, but an amaxing class

Really nice professor and cares about his students. Definitely a tough class if you have never coded with Rstudio or taken a statistics class before. No written exams but there was 2 short oral exams. Lots of reports. Enjoyed the class but felt lost a good portion of the time.
