Professor Han is very sweet and genuinely only cares that you learn the materials from the class. She changes the dynamic most times in order to allow for students to learn, whether them worrying about their grades. Although it's a very big class including the labs, she is always open to students asking questions in order to understand the concepts. BUT I would 1000% recommend taking a stats class prior to this class. I took Stats 10 in the fall, and this class was comfortable to learn in; it didn't feel overwhelmingly hard nor did I ever fall so behind that I gave up. Please please please take an intro stats class because you may get lost if you don't pick up on material quickly. You cannot move on in this class unless you grasp each concept on its own, because they all will be used throughout the quarter. But the professor is a sweetheart.

This class was not the most interesting in my opinion, but very manageable and easy. It was mostly coding using jamovi. I was nervous because I had never coded before, but the TA explained it well and was very helpful. I took it online during summer and the lectures were recorded. I found that it was more beneficial to read the slideshow as opposed to listening to the lectures, which was fine because attendance was not mandatory. I would recommend taking this class with this professor because it is pretty easy to get an A, and she is pretty understanding.

Professor Du's class was a great welcome into the psychology department. It also reminded me how much I love stats! Here's the basic structure of the class. There is a midterm and a final alongside weekly quizzes (but you get unlimited attempts) and assignments. The assignments, although you don't get unlimited attempts, aren't super challenging. There are also in-class quizzes but those are only worth 1 point. Professor Du will change the weights of each of these components to give you the best grade possible. She is always energetic and cheerful, and she doesn't make you feel bad for asking any kind of question. It was kind of weird that the class didn't have discussion and we had lab with all 300 students, but the TAs were always walking around in class if you needed them.
The downside of the class is that it was basically just a slightly less advanced review of Stats 10. I also feel like it wasn't entirely connected to psychology as the name implies because we used Jamovi, a software that I don't think is used professionally. Also, we didn't really touch on the psychology connection all that much—mostly just regular stats material.
Professor Du is unbelievably kind and accommodating, and really wants you to succeed. We had a final on our last day to move out, but she worked so hard to get the psychology department to agree to let us have a final project.
Overall, don't feel too nervous about taking this class

The instructor always made sure that they were clear and answered every question, but in consequence, the multiple questions and examples slowed down lecture a lot and after the first two weeks, it felt like we were playing catch-up the rest of the time.

Take this class with Prof Du!! She is so sweet and really wants you to learn. The concepts in this class are really not that difficult and the workload is really light, there are weekly quizzes where she gives you unlimited tries and takes your highest score. There are also about 6 assignments where you use a software called jamovi to conduct statistical analyses on a data set, and for these you only get one submission. These quizzes/assignments were super easy and took me like 10 minutes to do. She also encourages working together so I always checked my assignment answers with a friend.

The midterm was easy in my opinion, it was multiple choice based on printed out jamovi analyses of research studies and data sets. She gave us the option of a final project instead of exam because of COVID, which was assigned on Monday of finals week and due on Friday night. Both the midterm and final were super similar to the assignments so as long as you understand those then you'll do well. For the midterm she also allowed a double sided cheat sheet.

The lab section is where she teaches you how to use jamovi. She recorded it and started uploading slides so I never went to lab after the first two.

The only thing I didn't like that much is that she has a one question in-class quiz every lecture to measure participation, but it actually motivated to go to lecture.

She calculates your grade using 3 different grading scales and chooses whichever one gives you the highest grade! She also drops your lowest assignment, quiz, and in-class quiz. This is one of the scales for if you do better on the final than the midterm.
1) Midterm exam: 30%
(2) Final exam: 40%
(3) Homework (about 6 assignments): 15%
(4) Quizzes (every week): 7.5%
(5) In-class participation via in-class quizzes: 7.5%

I never went to office hours or really spoke to her but she was seriously so kind, you should definitely take this class!

I dreaded having to take math, but this class was so easy. :) Du made sure to go over the concepts many many times to make sure her students understood the content. You could tell that she wanted to her students to succeed, which is something I can't say about every professor at UCLA. She was also just a very sweet person.

This was a simple, straightforward class taught by a very sweet and enpathetic professor. Professor Du is a great option for anyone who needs to take 100A!

This class is quite easy. Unlike most other 100A courses you don't need to learn R or Python and instead use Jamovi which is much simpler. Her exams are fairly straightforward, and as long you know what to look for in her labs and pay attention in lecture this is an easy A. Professor Du is an amazing professor and woman, and honestly I wish I could have more classes with her. She was so charismatic and down to earth and she was always in designer clothing. Lowkey half the classes wanted to be her, including myself. Me and my girlfriend who was also in her class both said we'd leave each other for her, just cause she's so amazing. If you are blessed enough to be around Queen Du, please take her class

Professor Du is one of the best professors I have ever had! She is approachable, kind, and patient with students. The class is made up of a midterm, final, homework, and quizzes. We got unlimited quiz attempts and a cheat sheet for both exams. Exams had a few tricky questions but they would reflect questions from quizzes/homework so if you study those, you will do well on the tests. She genuinely wants you to learn the content and makes every lecture fun and engaging. Take her class, you won't regret it!

I just want to preface this by saying that Professor Du is probably the best professor I've had at UCLA. From her silly personality, to her thoughtful lectures, to her AMAZING outfits, she is truly an amazing professor and surprisingly taught me the information in a way where I still understand it and can explain it to others. I went into this class after taking Stats 13 in a summer session, so many of the concepts in this class was branching on what I already learned in Stats 13 with a lot of new information as well. This class uses a software called Jamovi, which is super easy to navigate if you simply look at the slides either Han or the TAs make. They lay out each step so that you can understand what's happening and how to do the task being asked.

The class had three different ways of calculating your final grade. One highlighted the midterm more, one highlighted the final, and the other highlighted assignments. Generally though, it was 7.5% in class (clickers), 7.5% Weekly Quizzes, 15% Assignments, 30% Midterm, 40% Final. The method used to calculate your grade is automatically placed to give you the best grade out of the three.

Lectures themselves were interesting. Han tried to make them as engaging as possible and would often ask students things that she should do differently and how she can make the class better. She really listened to student feedback and was always open to changing up some of her methods to help people learn. Along with this, she was actually really funny and would often tell some personal life stories during some of the points we talked about. Although they weren't the most relevant, they were definitely a good brain break from all the content being shoved down our throats. Han would make sure to repeat something several times, and would give pointers on what would be on the midterm/ final. There were times where the lectures would get boring, though but honestly she repeats the important topics so much that you won't be that far behind if you doze off. The lowest attendance was dropped, so if you missed one class it wouldn't impact the overall grade for that section. They were also recorded in case you want to return to it later.

The weekly quizzes were super easy. They were essentially exam styled questions that would help us understand the main points of that chapter. We were given unlimited attempts to get 100% and about a week to complete each quiz when it is assigned. The lowest quiz was dropped, but honestly attempt them all because they help sooo much to understand the important points of that chapter. We had about 14 quizzes this quarter.

The assignments were also on the easier side. We had six throughout the quarter that revolved around the Jamovi software. Han ensures that she exposes us to the software before we have to take the exam, so don't worry about learning a whole new software. Again, the slides will help so much when helping you navigate through the software in case you missed it during the lab section. We had six assignments throughout the quarter, but the lowest one was dropped.

The midterm and final were essentially slightly harder versions of the quizzes and assignments. Many people would ask Han if she would provide practice exams to help us prepare for the tests, but she simply told us to go through the quizzes and homeworks, as they were going to resemble the final exam, and she was right. To study for this, I went through each of the quizzes and homeworks and explained why the correct answers were correct and why the incorrect answers were incorrect. It helps a lot to write this down and it also helps to have lecture notes nearby to refer back to in case you need a further explanation. After doing this (I started studying day of), I got a near perfect score on both the midterm and the final. Another tip, we are allowed to have one cheat sheet that's about a full piece of paper front and back. I personally find that it helps a lot more to HANDWRITE your sheet based on the quizzes. Each question is designed to help you understand an important concept, and as soon as you realize it, you can write exactly what you need on the sheet without all these extra things.

Basically, take this class was Han. I guarantee that if you put in some time and effort, you should come out with at least a C, which is what us Psych majors need to take our upper-divs. The love I have for both this class and this professor is insane and I would definitely do it again.
