Easy GE relative to most other math/stats classes, but it still requires some work and note-taking to succeed. The tests are easy -- online, 2 hours which is generous, multiple choice, and 15 pages of cheat sheets! Also, the final project takes only a few hours. Be careful on the labs though, they require programming in R which may be challenging for those without any coding background.

By design, STATS 10 is very easy, as no previous knowledge of statistics is assumed. The first half of this course, leading up to the [only] midterm, covers almost exclusively content that would be learned in a typical middle school or high school math curriculum such as mean, standard deviation, IQR, etc. The second half was focused on hypothesis testing but was still quite basic. Both the midterm and final were open-note multiple choice tests of about 40 questions each, and all you really needed to achieve a perfect score was applying formulae correctly. This class had no homework other than labs, which were essentially a basic introduction to R programming; the TA's would go over the answers during discussion, so it was all free points.

I would definitely recommend this class as an easy science GE even if it's not a major requirement.

This class is really easy to BS, I didn't know anything and still got an A.

Class is super easy. Midterm/Final are 20%/30%, lowest score becomes the 20%. "Quizzes" are untimed and easy enough, 15%. Labs are perhaps the most unnecessary things at this school. Focuses on using R to do statistics stuff, you can get by by copying exactly what your TA shows you. No coding knowledge is required. Shoutout Luciano Vinas for being the homie, dude made it so easy to do labs and graded quite easy. There's a group project at the end of the year, thing takes maybe 2 hours to grind out by yourself, there is no real need for a group. 15% of your grade.

This class is definitely one of the easiest GEs out there! Professor Cha is also very sweet and accommodating since she continued to record lectures for us if we were not able to attend in-person lectures. The assignments of this class consisted of six weekly quizzes, a lab due every two weeks, and a final project. The quizzes were very easy and could easily be done as long as you pay attention to lectures. Also, do not be scared of coding for the labs since the TAs will basically walk you through the entire thing and give you the answers. The final project basically involved things we had used in labs, so it was not hard at all either. Also, you can go solo or be in a group of up to 7 for the project.
For the exams, just like the quizzes, as long as you pay attention to the lectures and take good notes then you should be good. Definitely take this class if you can!

Take this class with professor Cha if you can!! she is really sweet and amazing and you can tell she actually really cares for her students. Her lectures are really engaging and she goes at a good speed but she can talk kind of quiet so make sure to pay attention. The class consisted of a midterm and final, 6 quizzes, 5 labs, and a final project. The quizzes weren't too bad as long as you paid attention in class and sometimes some of the questions for the quiz were used as clicker questions during lectures. The labs were also pretty easy and don't be scared because of the coding because the TAs basically walk you through it and give you the answers. The midterm and final wasn't too bad because it's mostly similar to the quizzes but do make sure that you know the content because some questions can be tricky. Also, the midterm and final for W22 were online and the professor used respondus lockdown browser with camera on to proctor the test but don't worry because despite this she made it open note so as long as you have good notes then you will be fine. The final project was also not too bad since you use the coding you learned from labs to help you answer a research question you come up with based on the data set she gives you and you just write a report at the end based on your findings. Also, for the project you can work alone or in a group of up to 7 people so if you do it in a group the project becomes super manageable and easy and can be done in a day.
Here is the class breakdown for what goes towards your grade:
Quizzes: 15% (6 total - lowest dropped)
Labs: 20% (5 total - lowest dropped)
Exams: 50% (midterm 20% and final 30% or midterm 30% and final 20% depending on which exams you did better on)
Final Project: 15% (2 project check ups graded on completion 3%, final lab report and R code 12%)
Extra credit: up to 1% (iclicker questions for participation give you 0.1% for each lecture. answer iclicker questions in 10 lectures to get full 1% extra credit) (yes you will have to pay for iclicker to get these points)
Also on a final note, this class does have an optional textbook (which can be found online for free) but it is definitely not needed or required since you will only be tested on things from lecture.
Overall, TAKE THIS CLASS!!! you won't regret it!

I know it was so long ago, but there was too much coding and a thick international accent made it hard to understand the material, which was taught at a shallow level. Do not recommend to fellow Bruins

Grade Division:
- Online Quizzes - 15%
This class had almost weekly online quizzes which were about the material learned during the week. The formatting included multiple choice, drop down questions, and short response with only one attempt allowed per quiz but no time limit. No late submissions were accepted since the quizzes open on Friday morning and close on Sunday night which should be enough time to complete them. I think the quizzes were pretty easy as long as the lecture was making sense to me.
- Labs - 20%
You have two weeks to work on each lab. TA's walk you through the labs during discussion. The labs use R Studio and involve coding which TA's will guide you through. They are due on Saturday at 11pm and are deducted by 10% for every day last before the hard deadline on Monday. The lowest lab is dropped. I think the labs were pretty easy overall as long as I was attending my discussion section because my TA would go over everything pretty thoroughly.
- Exams - 20 and 30% (50% total)
Both the midterm and final exam are in person and require Respondus Lockdown to be completed. You have 70 mins (all of class time) to complete these exams. The final is not cumulative. Whichever exam you score higher on ends up weighing more in your final grade. There is no coding included in these exams. If I had studied more for these exams then I probably would have done better in the overall course. Personally I did better on the midterm than the final mainly because during the last five weeks she had a couple online lectures during the fall quarter and that totally threw me off. Otherwise I probably would have done better.
- Group Project - 15%
This project requires collaboration with other classmates either your own group or a randomly selected group of up to 7 people. Project is due towards the end of the quarter. The professor and the TA's provide assistance for the project.
- Extra Credit - 1%
Given for participation during lectures by answering iclicker questions. Answers do not have to be correct.

Professor:
Overall I think Professor Cha was clear and concise. She provided resources such as the optional textbook and her annotated slides which detail the textbook chapter by chapter. Despite her having some strict deadlines she does provide opportunities to improve your grade which I think is always a plus. She remained focused and made sure to address any questions that came up during lectures. As long as you get everything done in a timely manner and reach out to her and/or your TA for help you should be okay.

Notes:
- There is a textbook for this class and it is optional, I'm pretty sure it is also available online so I would recommend to opt out of it at the beginning of the quarter.
- Grades are not curved unless she sees that the majority of the class is not doing well (stated in her syllabus)
- She records her lectures and posts the slides but you will not receive extra credit if you never show up because the iclicker tracks your location.
- This course requires the usage of a laptop to complete the labs and the exams.
- R and RStudio are required software
- A cheat sheet was allowed for exams but I would still highly recommend that you study beforehand so you really get an understanding of what you've learned.
- Coding is not a part of any of the exams or quizzes but it IS included in the labs and the group project.

Despite being uncannily clear, the lecturer (not a professor) fumbled with the languages as she only knew R. Hence, there was no way for Ms. Cha to teach SAS/STATA/SPSS

if you took ap stats in high school and did well this class will be incredibly easy. if not it’s still pretty easy to follow along! the weekly quizzes were open book and very easy. i was mostly worried about the coding assignments but my TA (shoutout to alejandra arjon) spoonfed my section the code every week. the exams are pretty fair, not too hard or easy, and you get a doubled sided cheat sheet for each. there are two exams (week 5 and week 10) and a final coding project that you do with a group. it's pretty easy though and a group of 5-6 could knock that out easily. if you attend every lecture and do the clicker questions, you get 1% extra credit added to your final grade. professor cha was super sweet and accommodating!! this class was a super easy way to satisfy the life/physical science GE requirement
