Spring 2020 - Pretty easy material and useful lectures. I took her during the quarantine quarter so I don't know if she normally uses slides, but literally everything you need to know for the homework and the tests is covered in them. Lectures can get kind of boring when she spends a really long time solving a pretty simple problem, but concise solutions were uploaded for every lecture example. The lecture slides and their solutions were very organized and helpful in solving the homework problems. Homework assignments were pretty easy and most of them only took a couple of hours. The tests are easy and exactly the same as the homework; last year's midterm and final questions were on some of the homework assignments this year. The mean of the midterm was 92.8% and the median was 95.2%; clearly not very hard. The material is pretty interesting too. I had no experience with statistics and never used any source of information other than her slides, only studied by spending a couple hours on homework each week and reading through her slides before the test to copy down the important formulas for my cheat sheet, and looked through the sample test and homework solutions before the test. I did just fine and would highly recommend this class.

Spring 2020 - CEE 298 Seminar: Intro to GIS This class was pretty chill. It's a good introductory to GIS, though not map making. It's structured that the first half of the quarter is teaching/learning and then the second half is dedicated to a group project, of which you can decide (groups were divided based on concentrations in Civil, i.e. environmental group, geotech group etc.). The beginning labs were not difficult, although Park is a pretty nit picky grader. The midterm was also straight forward and similar to the one she posts. The difficulty of your project depends on your topic, but it probably won't be too bad (the hardest might be data collection). Park is also very helpful, although her personality is a little abrasive. But she was always straightforward and gave good advice. I would take it again; it was a chill class as an undergraduate student.
