I did not like this class. I had a very unhelpful T/A and when I met with the teacher on zoom to ask for help calculating my grade because I was debating dropping the course, she was not helpful. I would not recommend this professor.

This class is ridiculously easy. I basically never went to class and still ended with an A. She is super understanding of you having other classes and so the workload for this class is very light. Also she provides extra credit at the end of the quarter.

This course remained remote for Spring 2022, so I can't say much on how in-person lectures would be. Professor Wang's lectures tend to be quite dry, but she uploads the slides and records the lectures. Weekly quizzes (one attempt) biweekly labs and homework assignments. I went to office hours once and didn't find it that helpful; her responses were curt and didn't help me understand my question any further. The labs are super easy as long as you just copy what the TAs are doing.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

This class is a very easy A and I absolutely love the hands-on experience you get with R labs. However, if there is a better professor to choose from, I would definitely go the alternative route. While Wang is super sweet, she also just reads straight off the slides. I love stats, but I found her lectures to be painfully dry and boring. They can also get extremely confusing at times and combined with the lack of engagement, I found myself really dragging myself to the finish line by the end of the course.

Overall, this class will not make you cry, it just might make you super bored. The labs are AWESOME, however, if you're interested in coding or a future in data science/stats. I had no prior coding experience, but if you listen to the TAs and watch the discussion lectures, it's super manageable.
