Professor Wang is so sweet and accommodating. She really cares about all of her students' well-beings, and was always lenient with deadlines in response to crazy real-world current events. I loved this class! I was disappointed at first that I did not get Professor Cha as all of her reviews are raves, but I ended up so grateful that I got Professor Wang.
Lecture attendance is not mandatory, and neither is section attendance. All you have to do is take a short participation quiz that you can take as many times as you want until you get a 100. The midterm and final are very straightforward and similar to the weekly quizzes. The TAs do a good job of explaining the labs, and they are a lot easier than I expected them to be. I HATE coding, but it was very manageable! I highly recommend this class.

Good class, good teacher. Really helped to know R in this class, made it so I wouldn't have to go to section ever. All he would do is screen share videos of himself explaining the R coding assignments anyways. Like... wtf?

As a first year student with no stats experience, I found this class easy and interesting. The zoom meetings are optional because she uploads them on CCLE. To receive participation points, you must take a small quiz that has unlimited attempts. The chapter quiz are a little difficult but if you review the slides, you're okay. The Labs were the only thing I had some trouble with, but attending TA meetings allowed me to understand the material. If you are looking to enroll in this course, I really recommend it with Professor Wang. Good Luck!

A lot of majors, like mine, need Stats 10 as a pre-requisite. I went into the class with no prior experience in stats or coding. The material was a little fast-paced and I did not know that I would need to code for labs. Overall, the class was not too hard. The midterm and final were open-note but took a long time because it was all calculations. Professor Wang was really informative and detailed in her slides but I often had to go back and re-watch lectures or look at the slides to understand the concepts because she went through them too quickly. The weekly quizzes were not hard and were a good grade-booster. Yhis class was a lot easier this quarter than it would have been in person.
