Decent prof. Lectures have a good balance between theory and examples. Posts all lecture notes (the actual notes he writes in class) online, as well as exercises, solutions, and a plethora of sample exams. Need to do some independent work, though. MathXL ass'ts and labs are very easy, so easy to get complacent and end up doing poorly on exams.

He has the most annoying voice that took a while to get used to. Posts all his notes online (though his writing is messy). Apparently very helpful in person. Hard MT (Avg was 48% uncurved) but he gives TONS of practice exams which are pretty much identical to his exams, so the key to getting a good mark is to DO ALL assignments/ practice exams

Notes are posted online, but writing is horrendous. If you do all his sample exams, the midterm is a breeze. Strongest accent ever but you get used to it. Never touched the textbook.

assignment is easy.... note posted on the e-class.... will explain anything that you ask, even though 'how to use a calculator'.... english not very bad.... TEST = BRUTAL!

..........

Professor Simchi knows his stuff. When you go talk to him about something he is willing to listen and help you. If you follow his notes, practice his exercises, do practice exams, the final will be a breeze. Thinking of not showing up to class and "winging" his exams will be a huge mistake, considering it is A-J for each question.

excellent prof. accent is not a problem. u will get used to it soon. bad handwriting, but u don't need to take down notes. all of them will be uploaded. chapter 1-7 will not appear on final as long as u take midterm. keep quite!

Amazing prof, but does not tolerate ANY talking in class. Attendance is not required, as he posts his notes to eclass. Overall, he explains concepts repeatedly and clearly, offering many examples. Study his notes for the midterm and final, and practice recent sample exams and you should do fine!

Lectures are very in depth with a plethora of examples for each section of the notes. 20 m/c in-class mid-term and 50 m/c final; although answer sheet has a-j (not a-d) so you need to know what you're doing. Not a hard A by any stretch, the tests are more than fair and mirror previous ones. So simply study the lecture notes and old exams.

Not bad. Once you can read his handwriting you don't have to come to class anymore because he posts everything online. Good examples. There aren't any surprises on midterm and final. The subject is boring but what do you expect.

Very good! ! If you can understand his accent ,everything become perfect~

Very good teacher, he cares about his students. Very helpful when needed. Only thing, need to get used to his accent. He Posts all notes online so you can review, posts all past midterms, finals with solutions to study with. He is funny!

I really have to give Dr. Simchi credit for actually caring. He wants students to succeed & is insanely nice in person. Hard class and you need to attend and pay attention to do well. His midterm was brutal but he made the final very easy to make up for it. Also really recommend taking with a friend. Simchi is one of the better stat profs out there

Awesome professor. Super easy if you do all the assignments, sample tests, and old exams. Made me LOVE stats! easy A

I took his stat 151 and 252. He is very good prof.

Pretty good prof! Compared to other first year stats, I hear he's good. He is very clear about what you need to do to get good marks, and very helpful if you go to office hours. You have infinite tries on homework (better get 100%). Just don't try to write notes in class. Best strategy is to pay attention in class, and copy the notes off eclass!!

I thought he was a pretty good prof. It was hard to understand him at first and he write notes fast but if you just listen and review your notes regularly then you could do well. Do his practice midterm and finals because questions on the exams are exactly similar to the practice ones.

An overall okay prof with a thick accent. Ensure to do most of the practice mutes and finals because the questions are similar.

He is a great prof. If you go to his class, the midterm and final are just what you'd expect. If you want to learn from going to class and not from having to study the textbook I highly recommend him.

Great prof. Textbook and attendance is not needed. Tests are derived from examples in notes, which and posted completed and non completed online. Crushed an A by skipping class and learning the examples from the notes. Also, a very caring and nice man. Easy to understand if you LISTEN instead of complaining and is never shy to repeat something

Excellent Prof. Explains everything you need to know for tests, and saves you money by not using the textbook. As long as you show up, LISTEN, and put in a little effort, A's and A+'s are within reach. He wants to see his student succeed.

Make sure to attend class to piece together what he says with what he writes as both have an iranian accent. Sense of humor on the guy and heart the size of a garage door. Friendly and helpful in office hours. Can tell he is a brilliant mathmachine, but easily capable of teaching to a 100 level class.

At first I did not like him because I could not understand him with his heavy accent, but his notes definitely make up for it which he posts them online too! His notes are GREAT!!

Amazing professor who cares about his students doing well. His lecture notes are great and he tries to make his tests easy so students can pass. He has a thick accent and messy writing, but I found them to manageable. He is also really funny

I only had him for a week however he was an awesome prof! His accent was a little hard to understand at first but once you got used to it he's funny and very helpful! His notes are thorough and helpful. I can't comment on his exams because I din't write any.

As statistics professors go, Simchi is excellent. This course is frustratingly difficult, but it is clear that he cares whether or not the students in his class do well. All of his lecture notes are posted online after class which meant not scrambling to write everything, and instead being able to focus on trying to understand the concepts.

Simchi is amazing. This course is very frustrating, don't be fooled by an easy first half of the semester, it gets way harder. His notes are messy and his accent is tough for the first couple days but they force you to go to class and listen which is really helpful. He truly does not want anyone to fail and shows it.

Simchi is a great prof. At first his accent seems very hard to understand, but just give it time and you'll get used to it. His hand writing is awful though so you'll have to decipher his notes. Do his exercises and practice tests and you'll do fine. Material gets harder after the midterm though, so keep putting in effort or the final will screw u

All in all, he is a good professor. He puts efforts and also helpful to students.

His accent isn't that hard to understand. He explains things over and over to make up for his accent, so if you like a prof to repeat concepts more than once he is awesome for this. His notes are really good. Makes jokes in class. Sit near the front and you will understand everything he says.

Simichi is a good guy and cares about the students wanting to do well. That being said it is not easy to do well class averages were around 50s for final and midterm. The assignments are insane so attend his office hours. Doesn't curve his class which I still don't understand GPA average 1.9, unofficially, not easy class!

He was a great prof and had put his lectures online for students to review. the midterm is super easy, but the final is way more difficult, the average was around 50 percent. overall i would have simchi as a prof again.

do his practice midterms/finals and review his notes. If you do just that, A is within reach. His online notes are helpful for review

This class is not scaled so no worries about others not trying and getting free marks. Posts complete notes online, sample tests/exercises (exam questions come from here). Mandatory participation marks in class that can be done anywhere in the world as long as you have internet. Don't even have to go to class. He has a great teaching style, IMO.

Simchi gives amazing notes! For exams, review his notes once or twice and do ALL his practice midterms and you will ace this class. :)

Simchi is a really nice person. The class is a tough class, and his accent is an adjustment, but if you practice and put in the time you will do well. He is really nice about his office hours too! JUST PAY ATTENTION AND GO TO CLASS! He is a good prof.

He is a great prof and quick with answering questions via email.All his notes online so don't go to class, just read over his notes and do ALL the practice questions

Dr Simchi is an amazing prof who TRULY cares for his students and is more than willing to help. He posts numerous practice questions from past exams. The midterm had at least 5 questions that were identical to the practice. Stats is not an exciting course but if you pay attention in class, practice and put in the effort it's not hard to pass.

Simchi is a fair marker; he shows what to expect on exams with Top Hat questions that he puts right into the exams. Very fair.

Takes some getting used to but a good man who has a sense of humour if you look for it. Very smart and helpful notes but awkward to talk to in person if you need help. Sometimes his microphone falls off but he doesn't fix it. Attendance is important because he utilizes the Top Hat and participation is a fair amount of your grade. Highest average.

Ali cares about his students, but more often than not his students don't care about Stats. Gives tons of practice questions from old exams that are word-for-word on the midterm and final. Accent easy to understand. Sit near the front, you'll learn a lot more. Easy to pass. Mark determined by effort you put in. Assignments and labs easy, exams hard.

His extremely monotone voice made it very easy to fall asleep in class but most likely he doesn't care. Once you get used to his accent you'll have no trouble understanding his lectures. Clearly shows what you need to do when you approach every problem. Labs and exams are decent. He hates emails so if you have questions about anything, go to office

Professor Simchi was a great professor, super helpful if you ask him questions. He also lets you know exactly what common mistakes are made in exams, and really highlights what types of questions you should pay attention to. Also gave ample practice questions through TopHat; the exams were practically at the difficulty level of Top Hat questions.

His lectures are pretty dry, but thats sorta expected with stats. He uploads his lecture notes on eclass, which are incredibly helpful when studying. He also posts quizzes that are a MUST do for studying for the midtermfinal. Their pretty similar to the kind of questions to expect on the test.

Simchi explains concepts throughly and provides lots of examples in class. He can be difficult to understand sometimes as he talk softly with an accent, but it is manageable if in front rows. Must attend class because even tho he posts his written notes, but it is both messy and missing some important information.

Simchi was an amazing prof! If you just pay attention and regularly review, the class will be a breeze! He explains all concepts very well and posts practice quizzes that are key to getting a good mark on the midtermfinal. I did bad on the midterm because I crammed the night before but I got an A on the final through reviewing ahead of time.

The reason ppl do bad in this course is because they fall behind. If you review once a week and pay attention in his class you're guaranteed a good mark. He tells you what will be on the tests and common mistakes students make. Simchi knows this class and all exam questions like the back of his hand! I would take this class again in a heart beat.

He may be hard to understand at times, but if you talk to him and show interest he is very nice, helpful and it feels like he really does want you to succeed which I respect alot. His classes are pretty rushed but I guess that's because of how much material needs to be covered. Make sure to keep up with the work or you're going to have a bad time!

Dr. Simchi is the only reason I would ever take another stats class. He can be slightly hard to understand at times, but if you understand the concepts being discussed you won't have any trouble. He tells you what type of Q's you'll see on the exam and is always willing to help you out when you need it. If you're in stats, join his class.

Very helpful professor, although if you skip class because he posts his notes online you will fall behind. He explains his notes as he goes over them in class, so if you aren't there his notes are very confusing. Stats is a tough course so you need to stay focused. He loves to help as I would visit him frequently during his office hours.

His practice questions are amazing. They are an excellent representation of what to expect on the exams. His lectures are tough to understand if you don't know what he is talking about. But if you understand the course content, ei what test to use under each circumstance you can succeed. He has one of the highest class average each sem. a 1.9 (C)

Simchi was an amazing prof! As long as you pay attention in class, you'll understand what he's talking about! He makes stats easy to understand. He simplifies a lot of concepts and examples. All examples used in class were similar to final exam. He is also helpful in and outside of class. I would recommend Simchi if you are determined to pass.

He does have a sever accent however his lectures make sense. He gives a couple questions (not for marks) at the beginning of the lecture so you can see how well you know the last classes material and also some at the end of the lecture to see how well you understand what happened in the class. He posts his notes online but has messy writing.

He has a really strong ascent, but you will get used to it somehow. If you need stat as an requirement, join his class!

Dr. Alireza Simchi has an accent but it's alright, you have to focus during his lecture as he can explain the material well, the notes and examples are great and never skip his class, please take his class

Both of his class for Fall 2016 have the 2nd and 3rd highest average during the midterm, self explanatory. I never used my textbook because his notes and lectures (don't skip!) are awesome (print his notes and write along in class), he explains kinda quick in certain parts but he has to cover 24 chapters of STAT 151 material. Good prof!

He's actually a great prof. He tries really hard to get you into the subject and he puts out surveys for us to fill out throughout the semester so he can improve his teaching. He always tells us to pay attention specific parts of the material because he knows it's a common mistake most students make on the exam. Overall he's great.

He's the best! He gave a lot of practice questions and made sure to explain concepts with the simplest terms, I actually considered doing another stat class because of him. He has a slight accent but it is not bad to understand it once you get used to it

Prof Simchi was great. Statistic is a tough class but I felt that he broke it down very reasonably and tried very hard to adjust his teaching style to the needs of his students. He also got us to do practice questions in class which were very helpful. He's very kind and cares about the success of his students. Highly recommend!

Alireza Simchi was an amazing prof! He is extremely kind and genuinely wants his students to succeed. His lecture notes are great, however sitting through his lectures can get boring at times. If you practice and put in the time, this course wasn't bad at all!

Pretty great prof. If you do his practice questions and attend class you should have no problems.

I didn't use the textbook. Lecture notes provided great detail with many examples. Ali explains everything very clearly and wants his students to do well. DO THE PRACTICES QUIZES AND EXAMS! There were questions nearly exactly the same as the practices questions on exams. Study and you will do well.

Does not have very good audio systems in place. Accent can be somewhat hard to understand. Needs to warm up to a class before he becomes half way decent.

He emphasizes the importance of attending lectures, completing assignments and doing textbook readings. He reminds students to keep up with the fast pace of the course, gives helpful tips, showing that he cares. He is a tough prof, but he is willing to help those who need it.

STATS 151 is completely standardized so you'll encounter the same difficulty from any prof. He has a thick accent but really tries and gives good practice and lectures to prepare you for the tests and labs. once you get past his accent he's really good.

Simchi has an accent but is such a nice person. He does tons of examples and has tailored his teaching style to best benefit students. He does reviews of sections once they are finished and wants each student to do well.

Class is challenging but all manageable, follow everything prof Simchi says ex. review after class, do practices etc. and you will get good grades. I followed all of his suggestions and got a A+. Very good prof, cares about your study, always asks students about suggestions. explains concepts very well, does everything to help you. Recommend.

Despite having a heavy accent, papa Simchi really knows his stuff. Honestly a really smart person, and his notes are the best out of all the other profs. He really goes deep for that y-bar. Before this year, I didn't even know how to do a teetee test. In all seriousness, I think this guy gets discriminated because of his accent, but hesactuallygood

Dr. Simchi is a pretty good professor, but he has a thick accent that is hard to understand and his writing on the notes is pretty messy, which can often lead to confusion. However, he gives great advice on how to succeed and seems to really care about his students. The way his notes are organized make them very clear and he gives many examples.

Simchi is a great proffesor and very caring, if you don't mind him having an accent i suggest taking his class. All stats 151 classes have the same midterms/finals

Here's the deal: Simchi is a good prof. He's nice, he's honest about what it actually takes to succeed on exams, and he clearly knows what he's talking about. Sometimes he teaches concepts that are not on the midterm and final and, even though he thinks they help to clarify things, most times it just makes it more confusing.

First of all, I love Simchi and it's clear he loves his students and wants them to succeed. His slides are posted online after class, which is very helpful, but the bottom line is that he is VERY hard to understand. The extra resources he provides are almost necessary, but it seems he knows that. Simchi is a good prof, just hard to understand.

Ali's main goal is to have students succeed. He gives lots of practice exams which is very helpful for studying. The labs and homework are a grade booster as long as you pay attention in class and review the notes. If you go in with a positive attitude, the motivation to work hard, and the ability to not fall asleep in the lecture you will do fine!

I found Simchi did have a thick accent, but it was usually easy to understand what was going on as he wrote down most things he said during the lecture. He was very clear with his instructions on how to be successful in the course and made sure to get students' feedback on his teaching on several occasions to help them be successful.

He did a great job teaching this course. His explanations were detailed and clear, and he frequently pointed out common mistakes students make. He genuinely cares; he makes a point of reminding the class to do homework and contact group members. Having him as a prof made the course much more manageable!

yes his accent can be difficult to understand sometimes, but his notes are top notch. you dont necessarily need to go to every single lecture he went to, bc he uploads inclass notes. for the midterm and final just skim through his in class notes a few times and you should be set.

Yes he has a really thick accent but you get used to it. He takes his time through the hard concepts and does a ton of examples in class. He tells you exactly what you need to know for exams and his practice problems are great.

Simchi is a great prof that really cares about his students. As long as you do your homework and pay attention in class, you will do fine in the class. He has an accent, but you get used to it.

Simchi has some amazing notes, seriously, even if you're in another section, his notes will be helpful. I didn't find his accent terrible, but understand other people's gripes with it. You can learn all you need for the standardized STAT 151 exams from his notes and the textbooks alone, but attending lectures will still help tremendously.

Papa Simchi is a beautiful man. He really goes deep for that y bar, and his notes are good, lots of examples. 10/10, has an accent, but he's honestly really smart. Do the practice quizzes; super helpful. Gonna miss you Simchi!

He really clearly cares about how his students do and he makes funny jokes sometimes, but he does have an accent and can be a little hard to understand sometimes. I sat at the front of the class and I think that made it better. If you struggle he will be more than willing to help you outside of class. Class was just overall hard but hes a great guy

Simchi overall is a good man. You can tell he really cares about his students and emphasizes quite a lot how important it is to pay attention in class. He is kind of repetitive and it's harder to understand him because of his accent, but if you pay attention you can understand what he wants to say.

Dr. Simchi is a fantastic prof! He has a heavy accent, but he knows it so he tries hard to get his point across and make things easier for the students in the class. His tests are very straightforward and if you make time to see him in his office hours, he is actually very helpful (and will sometimes just give you the answers )!

Aside from the heavy accent, Simchi is one of the better Stat 151 profs. He is very helpful during his office hours and genuinely wants to help you. Lectures are heavy and although he posts annotated notes online, he takes lots of notes on paper he doesn't post, so go to class.

He is really friendly and care about his students. Although his English has accent, he writes down almost every words he says. Do know how to teach. But you have to work for it. International students friendly.

mah boy!

Simchi is a great prof. His notes are very useful and give a good idea of what to expect for exams and he always uploads them online after class. During his office hours, he was very helpful. I sat in his tuesday thursday lectures, so my only complaint is that they can feel a bit boring and monotonous by the end.

Yes, the lectures can be boring and he has a strong accent, but he does a very good job teaching this course.

Great guy who cares and tries his best for you to understand. He literally stays after class for hours until he answers everyone's questions. He makes sure you understand the concepts in class. He uses great examples and answers emails quickly. Best stat prof out of the other 4 profs.

He really cares about his students. He responds to emails asap. You have to put in the effort to pass this course though. Overall great prof!

He is a bit dull to listen to sometimes, but he really does put in the extra mile during lectures, recording videos for us in his spare time. I find his notes to be thorough and overall great in quality (his handwriting isn't that bad). He seems to get a bit annoyed by questions, but just because we don't have too much time to cover everything.

Easy to tell he's very knowledgable on what he's teaching, which is appreciated. Super quick to respond to emails but responses can make you scared you did something wrong. He's not very enthusiastic, but overall appreciated his effort he put into the class, especially with the switch online.

Very kind prof that genuinely wants you to succeed, given you take the effort to attend the lectures and be caught up with homework. Even stays after class to answer questions. Although his accent is a bit difficult to understand at first, he's a great teacher. Would definitely recommend.

Professor simchi really cares for his students. He really knows what hes talking about and knows the course material very well. His examples in class are useful and he makes an effort to try to get students on track. Ultimately it is up to the student to stay on top of class by watching the lecture videos which is a given to succeed in this course.

His live lectures were "optional" (he would just go over practice problems) but they were incredibly helpful. He explains concepts clearly and goes through them in detail. He isn't the most enthusiastic person ever, but he truly cares about his students.

Stats is a course many people struggle with, but Dr. Simchi is amazing at explaining the concepts. The notes themselves are pre-recorded but in his live lectures, he goes through each question style and also explains the theory behind the stats. Overall if you put in the effort, do ALL the practice questions and ask for help, it's an easy A.

I heard some bad things and knew a lot of people struggle with stats. I was pleasantly surprised with how good Simchi was. Super duper nice in office hours, he has a very different teaching style but give him a chance! I think he is a gem! Pay attention make good use of the filled notes he posts, practice!. Found content effortless after a bit!!

He's a real jem. The way he explaions things may not be the most popular, but give him a chance and you'll find him to be the best stats prof there is.

I was definitely wary of his teaching style at first but throughout the semester I found it to be effective. He has you watch pre-lecture videos and then he goes over questions in class. In my opinion to get a good grade you have to do the example questions as they are similar to ones on the final/midterm. He has lots of office hours as well!!!

He is a great guy, and he does try his best to teach well. His writing is not the most legible at times. I dont really have a problem with him I just think stats itself is way too hard theres too many things due and you have to watch separate long videos + come to lectures, modules, labs, and exams are hard

I didnt like Professor Simchis teaching style at first but as the semester went on, I really appreciated it. He mostly does practice exam questions during class and explains the content that way. I was skeptical at first but trust me it will save you on the tests. He cares about his students and will spend as much time as you need in office hours

Handwriting not easily readable in lectures. Medium-high workload (Bi-weekly homework and labs + weekly lecture questions).

Definitely one of the best STAT 151 profs, as he provides many examples and problems on eClass for you to do. They prepare you very well for the assignments and exams. Many profs get behind schedule for STAT 151, but not Simchi. Prepare for a decent amount of work to do in this class, but that doesn't vary with profs, just how the course is set up.

Tells you what you need to know, and his practice questions are chosen so you won't find yourself hanging out to dry during the midterm/final since they're appropriate in difficulty. Also cares a lot for his students, and will clarify anything if you ask, I'd definitely recommend for STAT 151.

The course material is quite boring but to be fair, it's statistics so that's inevitable. He's a great professor and puts effort into his class. Pro tip: Pound a few cups of coffee before class.

I took this course last year spring semester and just noticed that he has such bad reviews :( Prof Simchi isn't mean, he's a straight baller and knows his stats. He will not continue until he is SURE that you understand the content. Coolest dude in the department :)

Here's a guy that KNOWS his stats. His lectures tend to be dry but the material is very easy to absorb if you watch his pre-class videos. What I like about him is that he takes his time after each topic to make sure everyone understands what he just said, and his notes are much easier to understand than Paul Cartledge's.

Really great prof. He explains everything very well and goes slow. He asks if we have questions all the time. He's really nice and passionate. It is in general a harder class but if you have trouble he gives so many resources to get help like videos on his eclass. He genuinely wants everyone to do well. It is a difficult class but he makes easier.

Dr. Simchi made the course seem like kindergarten level math. The course in general is extremely easy if you do the practice questions even once. Only bad thing about the course is the group projects, the projects didn't help at all and I hope that future students don't need to do these

Try not to hold stats against Simchi, he's one of the nicest profs I had this year. He's is a good lecturer, answers emails very thoroughly and quickly, and is so nice if you go to office hours. He genuinely wants to see you do well. His accent and handwriting can be tricky, but if you actually show up to class and put in the effort you'll be set.

Very passionate and caring instructor, who wants students to succeed. Goes through examples for each concept completely, from listing variables to stating conclusions, so things become instinctive. His accent isn't as big an issue as people make it seem, but take your own notes because his posted notes are difficult to decipher.

Simchi was so kind outside of class when I had difficulties with my lab group. I figure that this class is difficult regardless of professor as math is not my strong suit. The lectures were a bit difficult to understand but if you asked for help he would definitely get back in a timely manner. Just do the homework and the labs and you will pass.

Professor Simchi really cares about his students, it's evident in the way he teaches! The content is difficult but he tries his best to explain it in a way that most students can grasp. The assignments and exams were fair and reflected the content covered in class. I would recommend this prof to anyone who has never taken stats!

great prof, attend lectures and regularly do practice questions and you can get a good grade. his office hours were very helpful. For the labs, prepare to do all the work yourself if you want a high grade. If u watch the videos u can do well in the labs. I honestly only found lab 4 the most helpful for the finals.

Simchi is a great prof if you're willing to pay attention during his lecture. He doesn't talk fast and always emphasize the key points that you will need for the exam. If there is something you don't understand just go his office hours, he's super helpful.

Very clear on expectations for the course, make sure to attend the 1st lecture. His examples can go a little fast, and so you should follow his advice and have the notes ready for annotation as he recommends, it is easy to keep up if you are prepared. Attend all the lectures, he will share a lot of helpful tips to prep for exams!

Simchi is really easy to reach and is always happy to help students.

Amazing prof. His accent isn't that strong, you get used to it. Very helpful both in class and during office hours. If you ask him a question, he will not stop elaborating until you understand the concept, which is great. He is also extremely kind. I would definitely recommend!

Simchi was my best professor all sem! He is very nice and always answers any questions after class. He replies to emails very quickly and is always happy to help. He talks very fast so I recommend previewing his old lecture notes and writing down his annotations before class so you can just listen. Do the review quizzes bc they help. Highly suggest

For stats 266, professor simchi was amazing. Aside from hard to read handwriting at times or occasional computational mistakes, the lecture note examples he provided were really good and he went step by step. To excel in the course, just do his in class examples and re do the hw's as his exams took questions directly from those

Dr. Simchi was an amazing professor for STAT 266 this summer. Not only is he highly knowledgeable about statistics and mathematics, he is patient, caring and always makes sure that his students understand his lecture also. Simchi solves problems bottom-up (which I prefer); Kowalski, the other professor for 266, solves problems top-down.

He is an amazing prof!

In my opinion, I liked Simichi as a prof but STAT 235 was a living hell. I think everyone struggled in this course. The labs are ok, but the online assignments are hell (especially probability). Also, pay attention in class cuz he always explains stuff that would help in exams. Plus I would say post-midterm is easier than pre-midterm content.

Idk why so many people hate on Simchi lol. Sure, he goes a little fast, but I find he explains things pretty clearly and points out the important things to focus on for exams. Besides, all MATH and STAT courses rely heavily on practice, so don't blame him for your shortcomings and do more studying on your own to do well. I glaze with no shame lol.

He is a great prof, he really cares about your learning. Sometimes the flow can be quite fast so pay attention. This course has a lot of group labs and the homework can be quite a lot but it fully prepares you for the exams which were very fair. Overall great prof.

Honestly he was a pretty decent prof. Language barrier was hard at first but eventually was comprehensible. Midterm and Final were VERY similar almost identical to the actual exams. I would however recommend doing Rosanna Foks video lessons and questions to enhance understanding. Other than that the labs just sucked because of other students.

HARD class but Simchi is very helpful.

Simchi cares about his students. He provides a lot of practice material ( review quizzes / practice exams). Class content is very difficult but do those practice and you will do fine in this class. GO TO LECTURES because Simchi tells you EXACTLY what would be on the exams.

I honestly don't understand some of the hate for Dr. Simchi. The man genuinely cares for his students and is always willing to help out. He responded to emails very quickly too. Oh and if you attend his lectures, HE LITERALLY TELLS YOU WHAT QUESTIONS WILL BE ON THE EXAMS, so I would highly recommend attending his lectures if you want to succeed.

I went to a few of simchi's classes, because it's hard to understand him and his writing is bad. Watch the lecture videos and show up and listen for important parts of the course. He clearly states what will and what wont be on the final. He's a nice guy and gets too much hate. Simchi truly does what you to succeed, even tho he comes of a bit scary

His delivery is like an angry parent helping their kid with 4th grade math homework, but you can tell he cares for the class and wants everyone to do well. He points out questions that will be in exams and goes in depth in his explanations, also really helpful in his office hours. Lectures are a bit boring at times but other than that amazing prof.

Honestly he was a good professor. Was hard to understand him at times due to his accent and poor handwriting, but he repeats himself multiple times so you can hopefully catch it. The class itself is hard and you have to put a lot of work into it. But he will tell you all to expect and that will be on the midterm and final.

If you can't understand his writing or accent, you will not succeed, but it wasn't too difficult for me to get used to. Great guy and explains things very deeply. Make sure to write down everything he says will be on the exam. As long as you keep attending you'll be grounded in the course
