Professor Lew was awesome. She cared so much about student success. Her lectures are boring, but just read the book. The curve is really good. An easy A if you work.

I dont' know how she did it, but somehow Prof. Lew managed to take some of the easiest concepts ever and make them intriguing. Her lectures are insanely repetitive at times, but I still went to every one, and listened, if not taking notes. I think it's her raw energy and enthusiasm, cause I can't think of another reason that I went to that class. The true/false on the tests were HARD, but otherwise the tests weren't that bad - she tries to trick you on the wording and different random circumstances - don't be fooled. In the end, I got an A+, my first ever, and like I said, I never took notes. Just KNOW KNOW your concepts down pat, and everything's fine. Also, I might note that she allowed a full 8.5x11 notebook paper full of whatever you wanted, so it's not like you'll have to study/memorize stuff - it's all concept, which is a nice change.

it's a stats class, so it's not anything special, but at least she made it that much more interesting. Watch out for some sneaky problems on tests, and know concepts - this is not a memorization class. Anyway, it's all on a curve, so you'll be fine

does anyone else find it a coincidence that a stats prof- who, though she receives great ratings, brings up this website's (UCLA Professors) statistical faultiness as an example during lecture- would have such great ratings, but she's hard like no other? After taking this class, and receiving a low grade (while nonetheless working incredibly hard for it... she knew me by name, I went to her OH nearly every week, never missed lecture) and then seeing surprisingly rave reviews like these, I'm a bit wary. Don't be fooled. Prof Lew is very nice, but the class is harder than it should be for stats 10. I'd take it at a community college if I could do it over again, or at least take a different prof. Prof Lew is HARD.

I'm a math person, but i had to work by butt off for an A. I heard she's gotten harder over the past few quarters. I had friends taking other professors who didn't study for tests and just breezed through. Lew will make you work for your A but you'll be glad you did it. The tests are pretty difficult, especially the True/False. No one in my class could do them to save their lives. Luckily she grades on a curve. She doens't assign much homework but that can work for or against you..

Take her class if you're up for the challenge of actually learning the materia.

i don't understand why everyone emphasizes how easy she is... stats 10 w/lew was probably the hardest class i've taken. I studied REALLY hard for it, always went to office hours, read the chapters over and over again, went to every single lecture, she even knew me by name... yet i still got a B-, which is the worse grade i've gotten yet at ucla. Her homeworks aren't so hard, but the tests will kill you. The final is insanely hard. Prof. Lew is really nice, but I've had profs just as nice as her, she's not anything extremely out-of-the-ordinary. I don't have the best memories of the class itself (though it is stats, lest we forget)... So, to sum up: really hard class. There are easier profs out there, so I've heard. Don't be fooled by all the postings of how easy she is, trust me. (But she's still a nice person nonetheless.)

Professor Lew is one of UCLA's best secrets. (Maybe not so much anymore, since all of her reviews have been excellent!) She embodies everything a great professor should be. She simply teaches very well. Her method of teaching is just very effective. She taught each lecture so that I was able to understand all of the material in Stats 10. I felt well-prepared for each of the exams. Her notes are clear and precise. Her lectures are prefectly paced - not too fast nor slow. Plus, she learns her students' names and calls on them when they have questions in lecture. How many professors are capable of this? She is the most refreshing and delightful professor I have had. Two big thumbs up, so of course I recommend her!

I enjoyed prof. Lew's class while I was taking it. I had to drop out due to extenuating circumstances that were very personal, and I realized many good qualities that she had both in and out of the classroom.
First, she explained the information in class well and was willing to go over it after class as well as make time for me outside of office hours.
Regarding the personal circumstance that was 'troubling' me, I approached her after class about it, and to my surprise, she put statistics aside, her work aside, and took me straight to coffee and spoke with me about it. THIS to me was surprising, I haven't had a prof. be this concerened for her students before and I just wanna say thanks!

Professor Lew is so nice! She remembers your name even if you've only talked to her once, which made me feel like I was part of a small class (which it isn't). She lets you have a cheat sheet for the midterms and final, which are all pretty straightforward as long as you study. If you take stats 10, make sure you take it with Lew.

I decided to take Professor Lew after reading all these glowing reviews on her. I was not disappointed. Not only is she a kind and organized woman, she also cares about the students learning the material without this "I'm-above-you-so-do-what-I-say" attitude.

I am by no means a math person (thus I can't believe I'm writing this), but she made the lectures fun. They're quick and to the point. She never went over the 50 minute lecture -- in fact, many times she's said she'll try to let us out early (and does!). The most helpful things were the handouts; every chapter is accompanied by a handout or two that neatly sums everything up. She knows how to simplify the subject so that every chapter is clear and reasonably easy to understand. The examinations were not incredibly easy, but Lew prepared the class well. She gave us practice exams, posted many helpful bits of information on the much-used website, and gave us extra recommended problems. Also, at the beginning of every lecture she wrote down a list of useful information (such as the fact that she'll answer e-mail until 9 PM the night before the exam).

Overall, she's a kind and caring professor. I wouldn't say her class is as easy as some people say, but it's an enjoyable class. My TA, Trudy, was also great and very helpful.

Professor Lew is more concerned with her students' learning than any other teacher I have ever taken. She is very nice, articulate, organized, and most of all nice. Her tests are fair, her T.A. sections were really helpful, and she gives good practice exams before each exam and the final. I highly recommend her for Stats 10. The class is not an easy A, but if you put work into it you can definately get an A without having to work too hard.
