Reviews of professor Masanao Yajima

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Yajima (congratulations on that) is a really great guy.
Be sure to read a lot before coming to class.
He may not speak loud enough to catch your attention but you get a lot if you do,
Also, a super nice guy to talk to if you are in trouble. He cares about you.
Would cherish every second if I can take his course again.

You would expect statistics to be a solitary subject, Professor Yajima shows how communication and attitude are just as important in fields such as statistical consulting.

Fortunately, there's only one standard exam, which is the midterm. Final exam will most likely be a group project. If you go to lecture, he explains homework answers. However, there is a lack of communication in terms of when the midterm is. He only told us the week before without any warning. Overall, pretty okay.

He talks much more about practical aspects of Machine Learning and Statistical modelling. HWs are pretty length but on the easy side. Grading is a bit on the easier side.
