If you took AP Stats, this class is super easy. That being said, Professor Zanontian is still a great professor and teaches well. She assumes you don't have any prior stats knowledge and lectures super clearly, so even if you haven't taken stats yet you should be fine. Weekly assignments include a homework and quiz which don't take too long and are not difficult. There's also a coding lab due every two weeks, but it's pretty basic and your TA goes through most of the answers during lab section. There's one midterm and a final, but they're very straightforward as well.

If you have any stats experience then the class material is very easy. Weekly homework and quizzes, but they are quick assignments. If you are learning stats for the first time, this professor is engaging and gives good notes.

Professor Zanontian responded to all of my emails throughout the quarter, including when there was a grading discrepancy on one of my HWs & when I emailed her during our midterm because I needed clarification on one of the questions (I emailed her at 6 pm & was worried she wouldn't respond by the midterm deadline, but she did!). She was also extremely lenient about dropping assignments. She let us drop our lowest quiz, HW, AND lab assignment for this quarter, which I thought was generous. She was willing to go over anyone's midterm with them & explain to them why they got questions wrong. I thought the midterm & final were pretty straightforward if you understand the concepts, with a handful of "tricky" questions thrown in. Attendance during lecture and discussion wasn't required, but if you attended discussion & lost points on your lab assignments, you'd get a 1 point boost, but you could never get over 100%. Also, we got like 4-5 HOURS for our midterm/final which was way more time than normally allotted, so I think she genuinely wanted us to do our best on these assessments.

Overall, the professor was really nice and accommodating, and I thought the class material was pretty straightforward & easy to learn (I just read the textbook).

Dr. Zanontian was a great professor. I thought that this class felt like it had quite a bit of busy work (biweekly labs, weekly homework, and weekly quizzes and participation polls because of COVID-19). That being said, Dr. Zanontian was extremely lenient and understanding throughout the quarter, and the midterm and final were both extremely doable if you prepare well.

This class is pretty easy, interesting, but a lot more busywork; overall it's pretty easy though and helps you during the exams. There are weekly 10 question quizzes, a weekly poll for participation points which is graded on completion and 5% of your grade (free points!) There were weekly homework assignments and biweekly labs for R. This class was taking during COVID so Dr. Zanontian was very understanding and super nice! Her lectures were very straightforward and clear. She listened to her students when they requested to not do breakout rooms anymore but instead actually lecture during class time and that really helped. She also made the midterm and final 4 and 5 hours long so very very helpful and accommodating. Take Stats 13 with Dr. Zanontian!

Zanontian is the best! She genuinely cares about her students and is passionate about what she teaches. For someone who has never taken stats before this course, I found the stats 13 very approachable, but also very time consuming. Weekly homework assignments were very easy and didn't take much time to complete, but labs would always take a while (assigned every two weeks). TAs do a good job of giving hints and explaining what you need to know in R in order to complete the lab, but often I needed extra help. This is where TA office hours come in. If you're ever struggling with a problem and want to make sure you answer what the question is asking, I can't stress enough TA office hours are the way to go. I regret not going more to save unnecessary stress and time not being able to figure out how to get my code to work before Sunday night (the due date). Exams are very approachable and the class overall does well on them. Much of the class is just staying on top of things ie HW, Labs, Quizzes, Participation Polls, and Exams and I'm thankful the other classes I took weren't as time consuming so I could focus more on this one. Overall though, I found it very manageable if I allowed yourself enough time, kept track of deadlines, and sought out help when I needed it.

Professor Zanontian was very very kind especially during this time when everyone was still trying to figure things out. Her lectures were pre-recorded so there weren't opportunities for questions there but her teaching style was great, it was a good pace and she sectioned everything clearly. Without having a strong background in statistics, I thought this class was very manageable. And her office hours were great, she has a really kind and calm presence.

Great class overall! The grading scheme is very fair and not test-heavy. There is enough lab, quiz, and homework points to help your grade if you need it. Discussion sections are super helpful, and I would recommend attending if you want to excel in this class.

Professor Zanontian is one of the kindest and most understanding professors at UCLA. She's extremely helpful, I used to ask her questions about the homeworks before and after lecture and she always took the time to help me out and work toward the answer. Even though she's great, I did have some issues with the class, specifically the unnecessary workload.

The tests in this class are fine, there are no tricks and it's very clear to know what she wants from you as long as you review the key points. She usually posts a review powerpoint with an outline of everything you should know for the test, and if you understand all of that, you should be fine.

But the workload outside of the midterm and final was too much. The labs are not the worst, usually you just have to follow directions and it should be pretty easy, but definitely start on them early so you have time to ask your TA for help, because these are easy points you can get if you manage to score well on labs. The homework was the worst part of this class, though. Most of it was easy, but there are some questions that honestly can be really tricky and hard, and the TAs do not hesitate to take points off. My biggest stressor in this class was making sure I was doing well on my homework, not the midterm and final, because in my opinion, the homework was harder than either of the tests. She doesn't curve up even a point, so it's really important to make sure you get every single point you can from the rest of the class. Try and do your homework early just like the labs so you can ask Zanontian if you have any questions.

I found this class to be easy and require little effort compared to major classes. The professor required you to go to lecture (clicker questions used for attendance), but the lab/discussion section was not mandatory. After taking LS30A/B, the coding portion of this class was actually fairly simple and I did not actually attend the lab/discussion after the first week. She posted detailed slides from lecture, so I referenced these when studying for the midterm/final. She also let us use an entire letter-size one-sided cheat sheet to write down formulas/definitions to use on both the midterm and final. I found the exams to be fair and did well on them as long as I had all of the formulas written down on my cheat sheet. In addition to the exams and labs, we also had a homework assignment from the textbook and a quiz on CCLE every week (or every other week I'm not sure) but both were fairly short. Overall, I would recommend taking the class with Zanontian because you can put in minimal effort as long as you are understanding the homework and quizzes.
