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.

Extremely easy. TAs literally give you the lab answer keys.

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!

Class is super easy. Midterm/Final are 20%/30%, lowest score becomes the 20%. "Quizzes" are untimed and easy enough, 15%. Labs are perhaps the most unnecessary things at this school. Focuses on using R to do statistics stuff, you can get by by copying exactly what your TA shows you. No coding knowledge is required. Shoutout Luciano Vinas for being the homie, dude made it so easy to do labs and graded quite easy. There's a group project at the end of the year, thing takes maybe 2 hours to grind out by yourself, there is no real need for a group. 15% of your grade.

Take this class with professor Cha if you can!! she is really sweet and amazing and you can tell she actually really cares for her students. Her lectures are really engaging and she goes at a good speed but she can talk kind of quiet so make sure to pay attention. The class consisted of a midterm and final, 6 quizzes, 5 labs, and a final project. The quizzes weren't too bad as long as you paid attention in class and sometimes some of the questions for the quiz were used as clicker questions during lectures. The labs were also pretty easy and don't be scared because of the coding because the TAs basically walk you through it and give you the answers. The midterm and final wasn't too bad because it's mostly similar to the quizzes but do make sure that you know the content because some questions can be tricky. Also, the midterm and final for W22 were online and the professor used respondus lockdown browser with camera on to proctor the test but don't worry because despite this she made it open note so as long as you have good notes then you will be fine. The final project was also not too bad since you use the coding you learned from labs to help you answer a research question you come up with based on the data set she gives you and you just write a report at the end based on your findings. Also, for the project you can work alone or in a group of up to 7 people so if you do it in a group the project becomes super manageable and easy and can be done in a day.
Here is the class breakdown for what goes towards your grade:
Quizzes: 15% (6 total - lowest dropped)
Labs: 20% (5 total - lowest dropped)
Exams: 50% (midterm 20% and final 30% or midterm 30% and final 20% depending on which exams you did better on)
Final Project: 15% (2 project check ups graded on completion 3%, final lab report and R code 12%)
Extra credit: up to 1% (iclicker questions for participation give you 0.1% for each lecture. answer iclicker questions in 10 lectures to get full 1% extra credit) (yes you will have to pay for iclicker to get these points)
Also on a final note, this class does have an optional textbook (which can be found online for free) but it is definitely not needed or required since you will only be tested on things from lecture.
Overall, TAKE THIS CLASS!!! you won't regret it!

This class is definitely one of the easiest GEs out there! Professor Cha is also very sweet and accommodating since she continued to record lectures for us if we were not able to attend in-person lectures. The assignments of this class consisted of six weekly quizzes, a lab due every two weeks, and a final project. The quizzes were very easy and could easily be done as long as you pay attention to lectures. Also, do not be scared of coding for the labs since the TAs will basically walk you through the entire thing and give you the answers. The final project basically involved things we had used in labs, so it was not hard at all either. Also, you can go solo or be in a group of up to 7 for the project.
For the exams, just like the quizzes, as long as you pay attention to the lectures and take good notes then you should be good. Definitely take this class if you can!
