Key takeaways

• Course Structure: ISYE 6414 is a statistical elective at Georgia Tech, requiring two courses from this section for degree completion.
• Grading Breakdown: The course grade is heavily weighted towards examinations (84%), with a smaller portion from homework and quizzes (16%).
• Exam Format: Exams consist of two parts: a closed-book multiple-choice section (including true/false and calculations/interpretations) and a 60% weighted open-book coding exam.
• Quizzes and Homework: Quizzes are open-book but challenging to navigate. Homework assignments are peer-reviewed, which can be problematic due to inconsistent grading. However, homework is valuable for solidifying course concepts.
• Study Strategy: To achieve an 'A', the speaker recommends daily review of lecture transcripts for understanding, and for the coding exam, creating a reference list of functions used in homework and practice exams with explanations.
