The labs were not explained well in the beginning but becomes simpler as time goes by. The concepts felt rushed through each week and kind of difficult to keep up with-many found the midterm hard, but a bad grade then does not decide the final grade! Recommend tutoring if not math-inclined.

I highly recommend taking this class with this professor. The grade distribution with 20% for participation(which is simply answering poll questions or zoom or if you miss the zoom class answering a few questions on ccle), 20% lab(basic coding that the ta basically gives to you, lowest grade is dropped), 20% weekly quizzes (these are better simple and the lowest grade is dropped at the end of the quarter), 20% for midterm (pretty simple, even if you do bad on it you can still get an A/ A-) , and 20% for the final (which is not cumulative but slightly more difficult than the midterm, becuase they work is harder to understand). Also, the show offers 3-4% extra credit if you do the end-of-the-quarter questionnaire and are active on campuswire. At the end of the quarter, there was a great curve that no expected.

Please take this course with Prof Wang! I took this course Fall 2021 when it was offered online-recorded, and she was an extremely kind and accommodating professor. She would push assignments back whenever we needed to, built in review sessions into our lecture time, and added an extra 1% of extra credit on top of the 2% mentioned in the syllabus (1% for completing a survey of the course, 1% turned into 2% for Campuswire). I had Yijia as a TA and she was very clear when explaining the labs, and since she recorded them I was able to start them the day they were due without issue. The exams were a bit tough due to time constraints but the quizzes made up for them, and one of each of the following category is dropped: Quizzes, Labs, and Homework Assignments. All in all, I would suggest this as both a GE and to take this course with Prof Wang as a pre-req.

This was the easiest math class I have ever taken! I had no statistics experience, but the professor is clear and understandable. She makes the material straightforward and easy to digest. The workload is minimal, with only a few homework assignments and participation activities. The most difficult part of her class are the labs, but the TAs guide you through most of the problems, so it's a breeze! She is an amazing professor!

She doesn't have a tolereance for people who don't undertstand the material. You basically can not ask questionsin the class because she is rude about it. She is also strict on class time and makes sure not to waste a sec. She also doesn't give enough examples so you'll struggle on the homework. The slides just consist of terms and not really problems. I took Stats 123 and got an A in it but this class just made me confused about STATS. The exams are open note, but they didn't help because I already didn't understand the material.

Professor Bingling Wang is a very nice professor, but I feel like she jammed a lot of information towards the end of the quarter after the midterm. The first midterm was pretty easy because you covered topics like mean, median, mode, etc., but the final was way harder than the midterm. I would also take into consideration that she doesn't use the final schedule, but rather her final was on week 10. This caused a lot of confusion towards students, and for me it just gave me less time to study especially when she was still teaching and going over content on week 10. I think the weekly quizzes were okay, but just note that you only get two chances on each quiz. As for lecture and section, it requires attendance codes for participation points. The annoying thing about discussion is that you kind of have to attend if you want the codes for homework, so I highly recommend you go to all of them or make friends with people in section. Overall I think the professor is nice and tries to help you understand the topic, but just note that she won't go too in depth on some of the topic, so you do need to make sure you yourself understand it. As someone who have never taken any stats class, I will not lie it was quite difficult for me towards the end.

For me this was one of the easiest classes I've ever taken, though I did take AP stats in high school. This class was mostly just review, but even if you hadn't I think you'd get by just fine. There is 5 homework assignments and 5 labs which alternate each week but the TAs go through them problem by problem in discussions so you're essentially given the answers. There are also weekly quizzes which are all open note/open book, and a midterm/final, all of which are very manageable. It may be different going in person, as I had it online but really I'd recommend this class to anyone looking for an easy A.

I took AP stats in high school and absolutely hated that class. I took this class with Professor Wang about a year after taking it in high school and this time around it felt like a breath of fresh air. Her lectures are very engaging and straightforward. She records her lectures, but attendance is mandatory for participation points. I loved this class, so it didn't even feel like a burden to go to. Halfway through the lecture, she gave us a break, and around this time, we did the attendance quiz. I thought the assignments were not complicated, but they do require the use of R Studio. I had never used R before, but it was not hard after the first discussion section. The TAs are constantly helping everyone and are really kind. I got Qingyang Wang as my TA and she was so kind and helpful. Unfortunately, the exams are not rounded, so they bring your grade down if you don't do particularly well, but the assignments and quizzes help balance your grade. She also offers extra credit at the end of the quarter. I would definetely recommend this class with Professor Wang.
This was the grading scheme:
- Quizzes - 20% (2 attempts for each quiz due at the end of every week)
- Assignments -- 25% (5 assignments that are essentially completed over the span of two weeks during the section with help from the TAs)
- Midterm Exam -- 25%
- Final Exam -- 25%
- Participation -- 5% (attendance quizzes from lecture and section)

Attendance was required and part of the grade :(

I took this class online asynchronous and that is the best way to take it. I had a friend who took it in person at the same time and it seemed a lot harder for her than it was for me. You needed 15 participation points (you get 1 per section you attend or 2 for attending the professor's zoom reviews) to get 100% for that (which was 5% of your grade). Quizzes on lockdown browser worth 20% of your grade (had two attempts and a one page cheat sheet for each). Plus, the lowest quiz score is dropped. The midterm was 25% of your grade and was about 25 questions. The final was not cumulative (only weeks 6-10) and also worth 25% of your grade and was also 25 questions. You got a double sided cheat sheet on the midterm and final (typed or written). The last 25% was assignments, and the TAs basically said all the answers to these assignments but they are graded on correctness (it was about 5 coding questions and 5 math questions) and the lowest score is dropped. There is no coding on the midterm or final. The lectures were like an hour of videos a week. Overall, it was a fairly easy stats class and pretty easy to get a good grade if you put in a little effort.
