This is by far the worst class I have taken at UCLA. If you have to take Stats 10, take a different professor. Her lectures are not only painfully boring, but she makes the material more difficult than it needs to be. I understood my TA better and she barely spoke English. The people who wrote that the class was easy must be geniuses or math nerds. Trust me, don't take Beddo!

Don't take this class, unless you want to stress about your grade all quarter. The good comments are from people her took her in winter quarter 2003. Yeah, I asked friends of mine about Beddo then too and they said an easy A. Then when I took the class, the average grade on the second midterm was a 60% and a 55 was a B. What does that say? Obviously the entire class was not stupid. That exam was completely different than lecture, homework, and the book (which I did read). Even the TA's said that exam was impossible. On the practice final, the TA's didn't understand two problems. When we brought that up in class, all Beddo said was "too bad for you guys." She obviously doesn't care about teaching and that is really amazing since this was her first year. I am just glad because there was a curve and I ended up with a B. My advice is to take Sanchez or Davis if you want an A, Beddo if you want to throw your hands up in the air and pray.

This is the worst class I have taken here. The only reason I took this class was because I had to, and it was one of the most painful experiences of my life. The material is hard first off, and the way she explains it makes it even harder to learn. She is too worried about sounding professional by using big words that confuse the hell out of everyone. The TA could barely speak english and she explained it better! If you have to take stats, don't make the same mistake I did; take a different professor that will make the experience much more enjoyable.

Very good lecturer; she explains everything clearly and thoroughly. The text for the class is very clear as well. Tests are very straight forward and problems resemble homework and class examples almost exactly. Discussion sections arent very useful though. Overall, Beddo is a great instructor to take if you want a good grade and want to understand statistcs without a lot of memorizing.
