Quarter: Fall 2019
Grade: A

I went into the class with a pretty extensive stats background. Lecture was pretty unclear, but the professor was very very nice and understanding. Her teaching method wasn't my favorite especially in terms of a Statistics course and I wish we had used SPSS or R instead of Jamovi. You get a cheat sheet for the exams and the questions are very straight forward. She allowed you to take the quizzes as many times as you want which was easy points and helpful for the exams. Very nice lady, but if you struggle with stats you may have a bit of a hard time following her lectures.

Professor Du is a treasure! I found this class to be straight-forward, easy and very much geared toward student learning. Professor Du really seems to care about her student's learning and she is such a great lecturer!

Quarter: Fall 2019
Grade: A+

This was one of my first classes at UCLA as a transfer student and it was not only an easy A but easy to understand as well. The professor has a thick accent but you get used to it after the first week. There are weekly quizzes and homework but you get unlimited attempts on the quizzes and one try for the homework, but the homework is pretty straightforward. The midterm and final were multiple choice and very straightforward. I barely studied and put time into this class but understood everything well and got a 100% in the class.

TAKE HER IF YOU CAN! Took during Fall 2020, she is incredible. Answers emails quick, TAs are helpful, and she genuinely wants you to get an A.

Incredible. Such a supportive teacher and a flexible class in a time when many classes really aren't the best due to remote learning. Super flexible and Du really does care about the well-being of her students. The workload is manageable and it is clear that the focus is understanding the concepts rather than memorizing formulas or vocabulary. Highly recommend taking psych 100A with Du.

She is an angel. Got an A+ with minimal effort. Lectures are clear and she goes above and beyond to make sure students understand the material. The TA's, Egamaria and Tristan, were also great.
The second, shorter lecture of the week is kinda like a lab, it always ends early.
We usually had a quiz each week with endless attempts so you can get 100%. There was also an assignment every week (go over answers with peers from groupme) that you can always get 100% on if you check answers.
The last thing was a group final project that follows the assignment formats.

Take her class!!! And be nice to her!!!

Professor Du captured the majority of the class by her first lecture with her sweet character. She gives fun and sometimes silly examples to help us remember the concepts she teaches. Although the material was perhaps on the lighter side compared to other classes, her course is worth taking purely for the good vibes. She tested us frequently with quizzes and assignments, and the final was a group project with a group of our choosing. Take this class!

Professor Du is a super sweet professor and you can definitely tell she wants her students to do well. I don't consider myself a math person, but I didn't find this class difficult. Her lectures can be a little hard to focus on sometimes (but that's expected with a math class), but she makes the content really accessible. Your grade mainly just consists of a few quizzes, assignments, and one final "big" assignment. However, all of them were super manageable and none of them took a ton of time. You can also take the quizzes multiple times if you get a bad score on the first round. I can't speak to how this class is in person (I took it online due to COVID), but overall, I highly recommend Han!

Professor Han is very sweet and genuinely only cares that you learn the materials from the class. She changes the dynamic most times in order to allow for students to learn, whether them worrying about their grades. Although it's a very big class including the labs, she is always open to students asking questions in order to understand the concepts. BUT I would 1000% recommend taking a stats class prior to this class. I took Stats 10 in the fall, and this class was comfortable to learn in; it didn't feel overwhelmingly hard nor did I ever fall so behind that I gave up. Please please please take an intro stats class because you may get lost if you don't pick up on material quickly. You cannot move on in this class unless you grasp each concept on its own, because they all will be used throughout the quarter. But the professor is a sweetheart.

Take this class with Prof Du!! She is so sweet and really wants you to learn. The concepts in this class are really not that difficult and the workload is really light, there are weekly quizzes where she gives you unlimited tries and takes your highest score. There are also about 6 assignments where you use a software called jamovi to conduct statistical analyses on a data set, and for these you only get one submission. These quizzes/assignments were super easy and took me like 10 minutes to do. She also encourages working together so I always checked my assignment answers with a friend.

The midterm was easy in my opinion, it was multiple choice based on printed out jamovi analyses of research studies and data sets. She gave us the option of a final project instead of exam because of COVID, which was assigned on Monday of finals week and due on Friday night. Both the midterm and final were super similar to the assignments so as long as you understand those then you'll do well. For the midterm she also allowed a double sided cheat sheet.

The lab section is where she teaches you how to use jamovi. She recorded it and started uploading slides so I never went to lab after the first two.

The only thing I didn't like that much is that she has a one question in-class quiz every lecture to measure participation, but it actually motivated to go to lecture.

She calculates your grade using 3 different grading scales and chooses whichever one gives you the highest grade! She also drops your lowest assignment, quiz, and in-class quiz. This is one of the scales for if you do better on the final than the midterm.
1) Midterm exam: 30%
(2) Final exam: 40%
(3) Homework (about 6 assignments): 15%
(4) Quizzes (every week): 7.5%
(5) In-class participation via in-class quizzes: 7.5%

I never went to office hours or really spoke to her but she was seriously so kind, you should definitely take this class!
