Professor Cha is so sweet! She really made statistics, a subject I used to hate, interesting and easy to digest. She's a great lecturer and is always willing to answer questions if you need something repeated. Although you had to go to Tuesday lectures for participation, if you had timezone issues she was very flexible and would give out alternate assignments. The Thursday asynchronous lectures were all relatively interactive and well laid out so they really helped digest the material. The labs were relatively easy as you could often just finish them during discussion sessions or watch the recordings afterward. The weekly quizzes were also relatively easy and good at keeping the material fresh in your head as even though you only could submit once, you had all weekend to do it. The exams were during Week 5 and 10 and were not cumulative and relatively easy with each only being worth 15%. The final project is designed for one person but you can work on it with a group of up to 5 people which made it take no time at all. Even after that, she offers 1% extra credit for completing two surveys about her class. She really appreciates and takes into consideration the needs of the students and I would highly recommend Professor Cha to anyone wanting to take Stats 10!

As someone who didn't take AP Stats in high school and had very basic knowledge of stats coming in, this class was fairly easy. Lectures were recorded, there are two check-up assignments per week, and labs were free points as long as you follow the TA's instructions. Professor Cha goes through examples in class, which are helpful for the quizzes and exams. She also gives out a practice midterm and final, which are a good reflection of the actual exams. Overall, Professor Cha is great lecturer and explains topics very clearly. If you don't understand anything, I highly recommend going to office hours because she is more than happy to explain topics that you don't understand! Side note: always read the problems carefully and understand what is being asked of you.

I would highly recommend this class, even for those who aren't very interested in statistics. Professor Cha is so kind! She made it clear from the very beginning that no grade was more important than our mental health and she even gave us candy on Valentine's Day.

I haven't taken any classes about stats before (not even in high school) and I was still able to understand the material really quickly. Going to lecture was super helpful, especially since you get extra credit for doing the clicker questions, but just the slides on their own were clear enough if you wanted to review/learn the content. Tbh I wasn't really on top of things after taking the midterm, but I still managed to cram 5 weeks worth of content in 2 days by just reading the slides, going through example problems, doing the provided practice exam, and re-watching certain clips from lectures. I'm sure it would've been a breeze for anyone who managed their time better than I did.

Workload was very manageable. It was just a lab every other week (which the TAs basically walk you through during discussion), weekly quizzes (no time limit, open note), a project (not much work at all if you worked with a group), and 1 midterm and 1 final (taken online on Respondus, but you were allowed a 15-page cheat sheet).

Basically, if you can get a spot in this class you should definitely take it!

I had to take this class twice in order to pass, the first half of the quarter is very easy and then it picks up the speed the second half and it is easy to fall behind. She is nice but has a monotone voice that can make you fall asleep. The discussion has almost nothing to do with the lecture because all we do in section is complete coding labs. If you want to do good on those you have to show up in person, my TA was John and he was the sweetest and most helpful man ever. Im not a math person so I attended office hours and she wasn't helpful. She would just read the question out loud and expect me to suddenly be enlightened by her voice.

This class is pretty easy if you already have some stats background (ie. have taken AP Stats in high school). Professor Cha's tests and quizzes are closely related to what she teaches during lectures. Her lectures are pretty long but she usually goes over concepts at the beginning and has many practice problems following the concepts, which can be helpful. There are "labs" in this class that you will have to complete in R. However, they are often pretty easy even for people with no previous background in R before. The TAs usually go over the lab questions with you so you don't really need to do any outside work on your own. Overall, a very easy class.

Many people here praise Cha, but I'll be devil's advocate and say, as someone who was never properly taught math, this was one of the most annoying classes I ever taken. I felt many times that what we learned in lecture vs what we were tested on was so disconnected that I always felt like I didn't learn anything. Everyone who says this class is easy surely must have had actually good experiences with math or statistics in high school because I had such a rough time understanding the concepts. The midterm and final really tested you on your understanding of the material, but I always felt like the questions that were on the midterm/final were things we were never taught properly to solve or learned how to solve. The only reason I even managed a B in this class was because I did decent on the homework and final project we did. That midterm and final kicked my ass with me getting a C- for both. As someone previously mentioned, you gotta use Khan Academy or do the practice questions on the textbook that's recommended for the class to really gain a solid foundation for the course. Don't take this class with Cha if you genuinely felt as if you never had a proper understanding of math in your life.

The teaching was so plain and she likely would not provide her students with anything interesting or just in depth. cha seems to have a tendency of strictly following a script for what she will be teaching and lacks flexibility. Her class and her style made me question the way that she had studied for her degrees; and I think that she likely got help or just simply studied to mainly pass the tests for good grades and NOT for retaining and expanding her knowledge. Stats department at ucla must be so desperate and they skip hiring truly qualified individuals so many times that it is reasonable for students to lose hope in them. cha is a good example of the spirit in delivering knowledge that ucla stat department strives for i.e. provisionality and mediocrity. Believe others when they say that the faculties from this department may be totally gapped in knowledge and techniques. I truly hope that cha did not gain her position from merely sharing similitudes in culture and religion with her connections at ucla.

Professor Cha was a great professor who taught engaging lectures and an overall easy class. I had taken AP Statistics during my senior year of high school so this classes was basically a refresher, but also taught me some new material. There was no homework for the class, only short, weekly open-note quizzes that took about 15-30 min to complete. The lowest quiz grade was dropped and the midterm and final were also open note and asynchronous. Lectures were recorded but iClicker questions were used to track attendance which counted towards extra credit at the end of the quarter. Definitely recommend taking this class.

Easiest GE ever. Especially if you took AP Statistics. The main thing this class required was labs, but if you attended your TA discussion section they'll just give you all the answers. There were weekly quizzes but they were untimed and straightforward. There was one midterm and one final, both which allowed 15 pages of cheat sheet (front and back) so it was essentially open note and were online. She took iClicker attendance for up to 1% of extra credit. Her slides are more than enough to help you learn the content. 100% recommend this class (fulfills a Life Science GE!)

This class is an extremely easy GE as long as you keep up with the deadlines and don't fall behind. Lab reports and exams were a free 100% as long as you followed the instructions for the lab reports that the TA's gave and for the quizzes they were open note so make sure to double check your answers and then you should be able to get 100% for all of them. In terms of the exams, you got more than enough time to finish both. I finished both exams in about half the time, and was able to get near 100% accuracy in both of them. I would advice to make the cheatsheet which she allows to have up to 15 pages front and back of notes, which is really helpful to use when you need to remember any of the formulas. If you have an interest in statistics and have even a little prior knowledge, then this class will be a chill class that you don't have to put much time into outside of class, and receive an A+ for your GE credit. So I would suggest anyone who wants an easy GE to balance out a tougher schedule to take this class, even if you don't have an interest in mathematics or statistics, this class caters to a beginner/basic level knowledge of statistics, and a substantial portion of the class was able to end up with an A.
