This is definitely an EASY A GE. Professor Wang provides her students with previous quarter sample exams and the slides which makes the exam much easier. Besides, the lecture given by Professor Wang are super clear, while the HWs in this class are completely optional which means the workload is very light. After every lecture, there will be a post-lecture pop quiz which counts towards the participation credits, and there's easy extra credits. Overall, this course is definitely not a time consuming but an EASY A GE. I highly recommend this course to those who have already select multiple intense major course during the quarter.

For those considering enrolling with her, I'd say she's good. While it is an easy class with a good grading structure(and an easy midterm), I felt like lectures were slightly lackluster because she would literally read off the slides(To her credit, slides and lectures are really nicely organized). She's super nice and explains everything coherently and is very considerate about timezones. Labs can be a little time consuming, but I guess that's not something you can fault her specifically since labs are a general req for this class. TA's kind of tell you what to do on them anyway.

I took AP stats in high school and I can definitely say the material is the same if not less than what I learned in high school. The only issue is that I forgot nearly everything. While her workload was extremely manageable and it was easy to get full points on everything besides the exams, prof doesn't give you much material to actually practice on. Quizzes (weekly) and participation (easy discussion post after class) were given full credit once you reached a certain amount which was very doable. The labs were coding in R, all of the code is gone through and shown during discussion sections. The exams were the only tricky part about this class. With not much practice material, it's hard to grasp onto much of the concepts and there was not much time to actually complete the exam. When expressing our concerns, the prof was no help, basically telling us to just review her lecture slides and change the numbers as practice. Other than the exams, this class is definitely pretty easy, especially if you already have background in stats.

please don't listen to the covid-19 reviews. assignments are NOT optional, they are assigned bi weekly and require lots of coding as well as a "part two" which involves you doing separate math problems. you have to take weekly quizzes which were hard for no reason. i remember one week, there were some questions on the quiz that involved content that we never went over. the next week, she put those same questions on that week's quiz with no explanation whatsoever. if i remember correctly, the average on the midterm was around 80% and on the final it was 72% (this was despite the fact that each exam was only 30 questions and open note), which was pretty low for what is known as an "easy" GE. there is also a project at the end of the quarter in which you have to do coding, and while it was pretty annoying, the TAs were pretty helpful with it and most people got good grades on it. i would say that although i did not like this class, the only part i DID like was the fact that you were able to offset your grade pretty easily even if you did not do well on something, since there are many things that go into your grade, like generous extra credit through campus wire and the 10% discussion grade. however, i think most people are better off taking this class with a different professor.

STATS 10 is supposed to be an easy GE, but my engineering friends agreed that she made the weekly quizzes and exams unnecessarily hard and the exams as well. The averages on the midterm (80%) and final (70%) were always too low for STATS 10 in my opinion, as this is class had historically been known as the easiest GE. I'm not sure if this class has gotten harder or the reviews on this professor in the past are no longer representative, but personally I do not recommend taking STATS 10 with her if you want an easy A. Albeit, the workload is very minimal and her lectures are very clear as the content is pretty straightforward. This does not relate to the professor but the graders for the projects were also pretty strict with grading, as my friends who took the class in the past with other professors said the TAs walked through and gave the answers to the project, which wasn't the case for this class.

The reviews from people who took this class during COVID are misleading. Homework is not optional. There is an intense workload. The issue I had was not that the content is hard, it's that there are a ton of assignments and in my case the majority of our assignments weren't graded until the quarter was over and everyone had gone home. The tests are pretty difficult. There was also a group project that felt like a total waste of everyone's time. My TA was super unhelpful with any of the work and very rarely seemed to know what was going on in the class. It seemed like there was either a huge lack of communication between the professor and the TA or my TA just didn't care about his students at all.

This class was terrible. There was so much work and the class in itself had no relation with the homeworks, oh and there was coding due every 2 weeks but it was also unrelated and the prof didn't really ever talk about it. I like stats but this class didn't really have anything to do with it. Why make a class called introduction to statistics hard? There was also randomly homework added DURING finals week (wasn't on syllabus or given at least a few weeks in advance...). So it could be worse for sure but I wouldn't recommend.

The most difficult components of this class were the midterm and final. Although they were online exams, I feel as though the professor did not provide us with enough time to complete them. A few of my friends in another stats 10 class were granted more time and had the same amount of questions as us. However, it is very easy to offset your exam scores with the quizzes, participation, labs, and homework assignments. I received an 82% on the midterm and a 78% on the final but still pulled an A in the class. The quizzes are pretty straight forward and as soon as you reach 25 points you do not have to take any more because it is capped. The TA gives the exact code for each lab assignment, and if you play your cards right by going to office hours they will give you homework answers (or very strong hints). Please don't waste your time trying to understand the code (they will never show up on the exams). Homework assignments and labs are graded on ACCURACY, so be sure to ask your TA for clarification if you are not sure about your answers. This is important as scoring a 100% in both these categories will offset low exam scores. Overall, the content was pretty simple up until the midterm and became increasingly more difficult afterwards. Note: I did not take AP Stats in high school.

Super easy class. Lecture slides are posted, so following along in class is really easy. I had never taken any statistics courses before, and I still got an A+. We had 4 homework assignments, 5 lab assignments, weekly quizzes, and 2 midterms, and I never felt overwhelmed by the workload. Our lowest homework, lab, and quiz grades were dropped. For the labs, I just followed along and did exactly what my TA (Navin Souda - he was amazing) did, and I got 100s on all of them. Overall, this class is super easy to manage, and everyone should be able to succeed!

Your grade is broken down into several components: lecture attendance (10%), online quizzes (15%), lab (15%), homework (15%), exams (midterm 20%, final 25%), and extra credit opportunities (2%). This class was half online, half in-person with labs being in-person and lectures being online. However, TAs recorded labs, so this class became entirely online for me.

I will not go into detail regarding lecture attendance/ online quizzes since those will probably be discontinued after this quarter. As for the labs, I am sure it will be the same way, but the TAs will quite literally give you the exact answers during your discussion section. We are required to code in R for lab, but I walked in with no knowledge and did perfectly fine only because the TA feeds us the answers and we did not need to learn/ get tested on coding material. The homework was also quite easy to get through, but you should always double-check it before turning it in, especially since she does give you ample time to complete it. They grade homework by selecting random sets of problems, so I would suggest that you try on every single problem rather than gamble on which one they would check! If you do not do well on one, it will be dropped! A lab that you did not do well on will be dropped as well.

Admittedly, I found Bingling a little hard to follow along to but if you ask her questions during the lecture, she will actively stop and ensure that you are following along well with the material (even just a single person). This class would definitely be easier if you came in with prior knowledge about statistics (I heard AP stats was much harder than this class). I personally learned material from the first half of this class and found the midterm quite easy. However, I did struggle a bit with the material after the midterm although I still ended up with an A. I realized that my class struggled with the course material and I was a little surprised since I did not find the material too difficult, but if you ever do find it difficult, make sure to seek help! Bingling is very helpful and so are the TAs!
