One of the most responsible and kind prof I have ever had in my university life. Care about his students and can really learn a lot from his class!

Erik is a PHD student but he teaches way better than most of profs in the university. He is also a really chill guy outside of class.

Great prof who cares about students and actually asked for student feedback. He put a lot of effort into running the class and created a bunch of practice problems with solutions and other materials to support class content. Would highly recommend!

His lectures, assignments, and tests are quite hard and theoretical. Lots of extra credit marks but the workload was heavy.
STAT 340 is taken by ACTSCI, math optimization, and computational math majors so it's not an elective or easy STAT course like STAT 332. Definitely not a "bird" course with Erik. He makes you work.

notes very unorganized and messy. omitted lots of stuffs by simply saying check over textbook. and cannot control teaching pace properly sometimes just rushed over a lot of contents during last minute.
