Dr. Balasubramaniam is one of the most engaging and effective professors I’ve had in my academic journey. He has an incredible talent for simplifying complex introductory statistics topics, like probability, regression, and hypothesis testing, making them clear and approachable. Outside of lectures, he is always willing to provide guidance—whether it’s helping with coursework, discussing academic plans, or offering career advice. Thanks to his support, I’ve gained a much stronger foundation in statistics and feel more prepared to apply these skills in the real world.
