Quarter: Winter 2018
Grade: A
March 27, 2018

Professor Christou clearly cares about his students understanding the course material, as he provides at least 10 office hours each week (I never went to them, but I hear he is very helpful), and challenges us to apply our knowledge to difficult problems. Yes, the midterms and final are very hard, but he provides a curve, and the difficulty of the tests forces us to creatively use what Christou has taught us. His students often have a much deeper understanding of the material than students who took the course with other professors. His lectures are very entertaining (he's pretty funny, and goes off on interesting tangents), but still equip us with all of the material we need to succeed in his class. Take him, even though the tests are scary.

Quarter: Fall 2017

One of the best professors in the stats department. The workload is a little bit heavy but it's the course that you will definitely learn things as long as you do all the homework. Exams can be difficult, but overall it's a great course!

Quarter: Summer 2015
Grade: B+
April 2, 2017

Christou was tough, even during summer! He talked fast in lectures and skipped a lot of the proofs, but provided really good and comprehensive lecture notes. It's fine if you only get 1/2 of what he teaches while in lecture as long as you review the notes afterwards. His exams are notoriously difficult but his curve is generously enough. Expect to spend lots of time studying his notes and remember don't worry too much about not knowing how to solve a couple problems on the exams, as other students are in the same boat as you. His homework on the other hand were quite straightforward.
