I didn't like this class at all. Don't be fooled by the "easy A" reviews, this class requires a lot more work than I would have ever thought was necessary for an introduction class. For the record, I've never taken any kind of statistics class so I had no knowledge coming into it and I found the material to be convoluted, like it was being explained in a way to make it harder than it really was.

There are coding assignments due every other week that have nothing to do with anything else in the class, except a project at the very end that serves no purpose besides stressing you out during finals week. If you're lucky, you'll get a TA that gives you all the answers, or will give them to you when you ask. If not... good luck. There are also weekly quizzes and discussion questions, which weren't too bad I guess.

If you do poorly on the midterm and final, make sure you take advantage of the extra credit opportunities that are offered, and try to score high on the assignments and quizzes.

The class was overall harder then expected. I would not recommend taking the online class. I feel like collaboration is a necessity for this class even though the teacher expects much work to be done on your own. You have to teach yourself a lot of the materials because the weekly video lectures given doesn’t do a great job doing that. I would say what helped most with the class was the practice exams otherwise nothing else was much help.I would also say that campus-wire also helps a lot. I would recommend doing the assignments ahead of time because they weigh a lot on your grade and doing the 30 points extra credit. I feel like the coding part was the most easiest of the class but the final project was very difficult because I feel like we didn’t learn all the coding material that was in the final coding project. The midterm and final we’re very difficult as well I would suggest studying a week in advance.

This class was so easy I forgot I even took it

This class was online asynch for me. If you're a stem major, the workload is pretty light and the assignments are easy, but feel like busy work often. Basically a free A because of the number of assignments, midterm and final were both easy and homework was pretty leniently graded + we had extra credit.

I have the textbook for the class (like new) and am willing to sell it for a good price! You can email me via ************* if you're interested :)

Wang is a great professor! We had a midterm exam and a project for the final, which was managable. Make sure you go to class for the participation credit!

Do not take this with Wang. The lectures were so long, not engaging in the slightest, not helpful, and I do not think I learned anything. Better off taking STATS 10 with a different professor if possible.
