She is a great professor! She always has office hours and answers all her emails in a timely matter! she definitely cares about the students! She's not intimidating at all to talk to !

Although I don't think I did very well in the class/on the final, Professor Lew was one of my favorite professors that I have had so far. She genuinely cares about her students and holds several office hours. She is incredibly understanding and always willing to help. She works tirelessly and has so much passion for the subject.
Overall, the quizzes were hard, lab exams were easy, progress exams were easy if you studied the review packets/slides. However, the final was pretty impossible for me. She let us have a 5 page cheat sheet (back and forth) and I literally had all my notes from the year, review questions with answers, and pretty much anything you think you'd need to do well, but the test was composed of questions out of left field. There was nothing really straight forward, and the questions all had weird wording. Homework was fine as well.
Point being, Professor Lew is great and I appreciate all the time and effort she put in the class. I just wish the final was easier.

I agree with many of the reviews here about her finals; doable, but definitely not a breeze...I'm hoping the curve will help.
But aside from the hard final, I thought she was a great professor. I felt the two other midterms we had were quite reasonable and weren't too hard.
I guess it really depends on how you learn because unlike the reviewer below me, I thought her slides were helpful and very clear and to the point. I never had to read the textbook either.
I also felt the homework was sort of like busy work because it's really nothing like her exams...but I suppose it's an easy 10% of your grade, so I'm not complaining.
The online quizzes can be hard at times, but luckily she's quite lenient, so she'll usually fix the quiz grades by giving partial credit or full credit for the questions that she feels weren't written well.
In summary, as with most of the reviews here, I agree that she's genuinely nice and quite dedicated at what she does. I mean, she even brought cookies and candy for the final (It's only my first year at UCLA, but I still feel that not many professors would do that for their students)! While I've never gone to her office hours, I believe that she really cares for all her students and tries her best to make herself available whenever she can by setting up lots of office hours and responding to emails till midnight. While I was doubtful about getting this 8AM class because my friends had recommended other professors for Stat 10, I don't regret taking her class at all and really recommend her. Even though I haven't gotten my grade yet, I still feel that as long as you're willing to put in the work, it shouldn't be too hard to pass in this class with the curve.

I had her for Spring 2012 and I didn't think her class was that bad at all.
Cons: Her slides are not helpful until you read the book. I never went to class because her lectures were extremely confusing and she goes a little too fast since she only had 50 minutes to lecture. The homework assignments are far too easy compared to the exams she gives.
Pros: She is genuinely a nice person and very understanding. She does online quizzes and if you give her a good reason why you missed the online quiz, she will be very lenient and either re-open the quiz back up for you or use the median/mean of all the online quiz scores you have.

The exams are pretty hard if you do not prepare yourself. The review packet really really helps so do them! I bombed my first progress exam but since she does CURVE on the exams, you can still get away with C's.

Break down:
Homework: 10%
Online Quizzes: 10%
Progress Exams: 10% and 15%
Labs: 15%
Lab Exams: 15%
Final Exam: 25%

She isn't easy, but I would recommend her. Her lectures aren't that great but the book will become your best friend and her grading system will help you in the long run!

Good professor, but makes the final nearly impossible to the point where it was almost unfair.. and this is coming from a guy with a 3.8 gpa. She gives a lot of final review problems for practice, but they're easy compared to the real thing.

i will start with the fact that i got an A in the class (by some miracle on the final), just so this is not discredited. also she is a very nice person and does seem to care a lot.

but, she will give you reviews for the midterms and final that are ten million times easier than the actual test, thus preparing you all wrong. the tests are very difficult. very. class lectures are very fast, its hard to keep up.

I absolutely LOVED her!! She's so nice, and she really wants you to do well in the class. Stats is a hard subject, but if you have to take it... TAKE IT WITH LEW!!! I've heard horror stories from other people who took other professors.. and you don't want to make that mistake. She's always available if you need help, very approachable, and she's one of the nicest professors I've had at UCLA thus far. If you do the quizzes, homework, and labs you'll do very good. The midterms and final were very fair and she gives you practice ones so you get an idea of what's going to be on the tests, and she really curves it for those who've done bad. She really doesn't want anyone to fail and she tries very hard! I've compared her to everyone else, and my roommates (who've taken Stats before me) have all agreed that she's really good compared to everyone else!!

She's a good professor. I didn't go to class much, but that wasn't her fault...I'm just a very lazy human being. Sections in her class are totally worthless though unless you want to copy the homework off the board. My only problem with Professor Lew was that every time she would give us a review packet, we would get at least 3 e-mails soon after telling us all the typos that were in the packets...and they weren't small or few...they were huge and many. Keep in mind this happened every single time. But whatever, I didn't really care that much. If you have to take Stats 10, take it with her. It's not bad.

Prof. Lew got through the curriculum efficiently and effectively. She is one of the few professors I have had that actually followed the syllabus and got through the material.
She outlined each lecture and posted them online, most of the time prior to class so that you could take notes on them. This was amazingly helpful, especially in a math class.
She also gave plenty of review packets for the midterm and final. The tests were pretty fair, especially with the curve, but I felt that she might have expected too much on some of the questions by having us apply equations to situations in which we had never discussed before.
However, she was always willing to help and answer questions. She was an effective email and internet user, so she was reachable almost at all times.
Overall, i thought she was a good professor that was organized and cared about her students' learning. She systematically taught the material in a way that was understandable to those of us that are not math majors.

I read the wonderful reviews and thought, "I should take this class with her!"

Boy was I wrong. Don't get me wrong, she's a nice lady but is unorganized and messy. At times, she seems lost and doesn't know what she's doing which hinders your learning.

The TAs are also horrible; don't even bother going there. It won't help.

The homework are of no help. The class is deceiving because the homeworks are very easy and do not reflect the midterms and finals. The final is difficult!
