Professor Cha is so nice and patient! She is very good at lecturing and her slides and explanation of the problems are super clear. I really enjoyed this course. The exams were not hard. If you pay attention to the lectures you will be fine! Participation is required, though lecture recordings will be posted on CCLE for reviewing. Prof Cha is very helpful and always responds to students' questions very fast. She gave me full support to continue my exam when I encountered problems with the Respondus. The TAs are also very nice and almost did everything for our lab every week. I believe if they can leave more problems for us to practice R coding on our own would be even better. Overall it is an amazing course!

Cha is a great professor!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her class! Her lectures are easy to follow and she constantly repeats the harder materials in case some people didn't get it the first time. Her exams are really easy as they are very similar to her quizzes and the examples that she goes over in class.
The discussion sections are essentially our lab sections. So as long as you follow the TA's instructions, you'll be able to get the lab reports done as the TA tells you what to do.
This class is by far the best and easiest class I have ever taken at UCLA. 10/10 recommend!

Professor Cha's lecture is clear and she is very responsive with emails.
In terms of workload, we had:
-weekly quizzes (2 drop quizzes allowed)
-5 labs (1 drop lab allowed)
-2 multiple choice exams
-1 final project
Yes, it is not difficult to get an A in this class, but you still need to study weekly.

Professor Cha is amazing- her lectures are so clear and she always makes sure everyone understands the material. Discussion sections are dedicated to weekly labs and I spent no extra time outside of the discussion section working on the labs. Would love to take another class with Professor Cha.

Prof. Cha was so accomodating during COVID in the summer! I decided to take this course last minute and the workload was very manageable. I felt like I learned a lot if the course that helped me in a lot of other classes. She made learning stats super easy to comprehend and I would HIGHLY recommend taking the course with her!!

Some of my friends got really bad professors for Stats 10 that made the class unnecessarily complicated, so I was a little worried going into it, but Professor Cha makes the class super easy, clear, and straight forward. If you have a choice I would definitely recommend going with Professor Cha.

Dr Cha is a great lecturer and the material of this course is very easy. I highly recommend this class for people looking for a science GE that doesn't use too much memorisation or difficult math. All important formulas are given, and Dr Cha gives a lot of preparation material for exams and quizzes.

The lectures are recorded, and asynchronous students simply need to answer 5-10 questions based on the recording of the lecture which is usually covered in the video anyway.

The only difficulty I faced in this class was the labs in R. TA sessions walk through them question by question, so you usually will get full marks for it, but I felt that there were certain things I didn't really understand but just copied from the TA.

This class was fairly easy for me, as I had taken AP Statistics in high school. As the other reviewers mentioned, Professor Cha is extremely helpful during the online synchronous lectures, and her lecture slides provide clear examples of key statistical concepts. In lecture, she often emphasizes or repeats certain topics that are going to be tested on the quizzes and exams. Her exam questions are very fair and are almost always based off her lecture slides.

The grading breakdown for this course is:
20 % lecture participation (can miss up to two lectures)
20% online quizzes on CCLE (lowest two scores are dropped)
20% lab (lowest lab score is dropped)
20% exam 1 (taken week 4)
20% exam 2 (taken week 10)

In terms of difficulty, the course starts off pretty easy, but gets harder around week 7 when it covers statistical inference. Exam 2 is significantly more difficult than exam 1 since it covers harder topics, but I will say my previous background with statistics definitely helped me through the later parts of the course. The labs are not too difficult to complete since you get a ton of guidance from your section TA (including some R code).

I took this class as a GE and am very satisfied about this professor and course. Overall, definitely would recommend even for those in non-STEM majors. Note that I haven't actually received my final grade yet, so the grade I entered for this review is my predicted grade (based on my assignment scores).
