I was lucky to take STAT consulting with Prof. Keles. We are fully trained in steps to do a complete consulting with nonstat clients and data scientists in the fields are invited to share their story which is super fun! We get personal feedbacks instantly and Prof. Keles extensively shared her rich consulting experience and it is a fruitful course

insisted on writing on the chalkboard which normally i'm all for in a class but she wrote very small and the class room was too small for the class. She also had a horrible habit of asking the class questions and waiting for an inordinate time for a class response. she was also got rather ornery toward the end of the semester.
