Chetkar Jha

2 or less hrs/week

This guy sucks. Luckily, the homework answers can be found online and the exams are sooooo easy. Make sure to get the "Chapter X Written" pdf for each chapter, as these are easy to read notes made by a better professor. Studying should just be reading these notes, doing the problems that are scattered in the notes, and then trying the practice exam.

Jha is the worst teacher/Professor I’ve had in ever. Lectures are impossible to pay attention to due to how boring jha is and if you do (somehow) pay attention what he says is incomprehensible. Everything I learned was from the textbook. But very easy class/tests. Jha also clearly wants his students to succeed; I just don’t know if he can help them do so…

Really bad lectures ... easy class ... with Jha you need to teach yourself with Jager's lecture notes if he releases them. I would try and wait to take it with Jager

Ridiculed students for asking questions. Was so disrespectful to students, a student confronted him after the midterm and they began to argue. The greatest barrier to learning in this class is the professor.

Chetkar is a caring guy and absolutely means well. Unfortunately, he is just inexperienced. Lectures were confusing and he often struggled to explain concepts clearly. Basically taught myself the course from old professor's lecture notes. I am sympathetic towards him, as I'm sure being a first-time lecturer is very difficult.

Great guy but unfortunately terrible professor. Explanations are very convoluted and unclear. If you want to actually learn statistics this class will make that very hard for you. Exams are easy but again you will come out having learned nothing. He really tries but he just needs much more experience and guidance when it comes to teaching.

A humble guy w strong Indian accent. Really not good at teaching, struggling explaining concepts or giving examples. Download the notes from other profs can help you keeping up w his slides. However, really really nice on grading. Overall an easy A class, but kinda need a bit self learning.

Completely unhelpful. his lectures are him just reading out of a textbook as if he is also reading it for the first time but he's prettending to be a toddler that doesn't know what math is. Outside of class it is almost as if he will go to any length to not help students. avoid at all costs.
