MATH/STAT 309
Quality 5/5Difficulty 5/5
The professor is very intelligent and kind although the exams were pretty challenging. The exams were open-book but required high mathematical skills. IMO this is a MATH course rather than a STAT course

MATH/STAT 309
Quality 3/5Difficulty 4/5
Lectures are super important, as the textbook isn't super helpful with homework. They can get a little boring as he is a bit monotonous but overall does a good job explaining difficult concepts. Discussion section is extremely optional, as stated by the TA. Exams are very tough. Pretty lenient grading for homework.

MATH/STAT 309
Quality 3/5Difficulty 5/5
Courses are good, and I like the interaction with students. However, exams are ridiculously hard. The practice midterm says it has a similar difficulty, but midterm 2 is ten more times difficult than the practice. The exam time is not enough!

MATH/STAT 310
Quality 2/5Difficulty 4/5
Taking 310 online with Garvesh has been pretty tough. He uploads lecture videos but not notes and does not respond to emails. He occasionally responds to piazza posts but not often. Final exam is worth 40% (!) of final grade, although there is a 'curve' - however he is not clear about what the grading will be at all. Don't really recommend.
