Spring 2017 - A great class for any major who wants to learn more about R. This class involves a group project that worths 50% of your grade. They will assign your teammate(s) based on your skills and familiarity with R. It's very likely that one math major would be paired with a bio major, and trust me, it is actually a great idea! There will be several quizzes and homework assignments. The homework might seem extremely hard at first but you will nail it if you go step by step and seek help from the prof and TA. Make sure to take advantage of the extra credits on quizzes and hw since they might save your ass as there is no curve of grades. BTW Christian is the best TA I've ever had at UCLA, if he still teaches this class, make sure to go to his office hour. Prof Lloyd-Smith is very approachable and helpful, gave organized and engaging lectures as he always does.
