The class follows a flipped format: you learn mostly from the readings (do them!) and then the lecture is a demo. It's very easy to scrape an A in this class without caring much.

Often, Canvas serves as a \"single source of truth\" for a given course. In STAT 436, the professor spreads their content over dozens of .docx files you must download and open.

He publishes clear online notes at the beginning of semester in Github. In-class examples are extremely helpful.
