I took this class virtually over 6 weeks in Summer Session A. Grade distribution was 20% for homework, 20% for a final project, 25% for midterm or final (whichever grade was lower), and 35% for midterm or final (whichever grade was higher). Dr. Cha's syllabus, slides, and expectations for the course were extremely clear. I still tend to reference her slides for other courses and feel like I genuinely learned a lot. The grading of assignments was very fair. The only thing of note is that our two online exams required a lockdown browser with camera and audio on your device, but Dr. Cha was very proactive in making sure we knew she was available in case of any technical difficulties.

Reading through the Bible in mandarin was easier to understand than her slides (I don't speak Mandarin).

lectures can drag but you dont really need to go to succeed. Easy class overall if you do the hw and read slides but she will not round AT ALL

Professor Cha did a good job with lecturing, although her slides were a little unorganized. The homework helps A LOT with getting a better understanding of the material, because it's the type of class where you need to apply the material in order to understand it. The tests were fair, and the final project was a good way of applying everything you learned in the class. Overall very good class and would take again.

Cha was very clear in her slides. She does the problems on the projector/board with the class to walk everyone through. She answers questions in class and also has office hours if you're really confused. She didn't give mandatory homework. She gave weekly quizzes that reflected what we saw on the midterm/final. In addition, she drops your lowest lab and quiz grade, which is extremely helpful.

First off you can easily get an A in the class if you go over all her lecture slides and listen to her midterm/final review. Professor Cha is my favorite professor in the Stats department, due to the fact that her slides are extremely organized and she puts a lot of effort in giving you the material you need to succeed in the class whether it is r code examples, slides, and textbook resources. I messed up on two of the homework assignments due to my own mistakes, yet the homework assignments tended to be fair. She is also extremely approachable, and although the group project was a decent amount of work she grades it fairly leniently. Overall, I recommend Maria Cha over any professor for 101a, 101b, and hopefully one day she'll teach 101c.
