If you have taken AP Stats no worries as this class is easier in my opinion. Tests are very fair and you can write all the things you need on a sheet of paper.

This class is fairly easy, up until after the first midterm, after which the class gets way harder if you have fallen into bad habits (like me). Cha is an extraordinarily nice person however and really takes great care to always stop and see if there are any questions, and she will explain the material until she feels that everyone knows what is going on. There are biweekly labs due and weekly online quizzes, as well as clicker questions in class to check for participation. She also posts recommended practice problems from the textbook, but they are never checked. A formula sheet is allowed for her exams.

Some questions were weirdly worded on tests. If you've taken AP Stats (which I did before) then you should be fine if you brush up a little bit before exams. Also, knowing how to input everything into the calculator is pretty helpful because most of the time if you enter things wrong into the calculator you won't get an answer on the test because it's multiple choice and assumes you will make your mistakes doing it by hand. Other than that, I didn't pay too much attention in lectures but still did fine.

I didn't take stats in high school, and it felt like most students who had found this to be a lot easier than I did.
That said, there is virtually no assigned work. There are labs in discussion which you could probably figure out on your own with the $6 lab book, but honestly it's much more worth it to show up to discussion bc the TA walks you through it step by step.
In terms of content, I spent a few hours with Khan Academy which was helpful to supplement. Lectures can be a little dry, but the slides are posted and easy to follow along, (especially w in class examples) and Cha is helpful during office hours if you show up.
Textbook is not necessary unless you want extra problems.
Your grade is 30% midterm, 30% final, and they're pretty fair problems. Online quizzes (20%) can be challenging.
I would take this class again with Cha. I felt like I learned a lot for not a ton of leg work.

If you have taken stats before, this class is really pretty easy. If you haven't, it may be a little tougher, but not too bad. The lectures are fine although kinda boring, but Professor Cha posts the slides online so you can always review examples, etc. For the lab assignments, the TA basically walks you through every step, and you should rarely have to do more than a few minutes of work outside of class on it. There are online quizzes as well, but if you went to lecture and took good notes they shouldn't be hard. There is also a section separate from lab that is helpful for working through example problems.

Stats 10 is very easy and straightforward if you pay attention and put in some effort. Both the final and the midterm are multiple choice and you must submit about 5 labs throughout the quarter. The labs can usually be finished during discussion and the TA usually helped us. Although attendance isn't mandatory, it is part of your grade. Prof Cha uses clicker questions throughout her lectures in order to mark attendance. Prof Cha is not the best at explaining, but you can basically learn everything you need from the slides. If you're going to take stats 10, I would recommend taking it with her.

Professor Cha is so nice and cares so much about the students in her class. Don't be afraid to ask her questions before or after class or in office hours. Her slides had so much information on them, making it super easy to study for the exams. The only criticism I have is that there was a lot of busy work in the class, especially the worksheets in discussion section.

Easy class, just a lot of busy work. Cha is clear but the textbook can be helpful to supplement her teaching.

Professor Cha was possibly the sweetest professor I have ever met. She deeply cares about everyone's well being both mentally and academically. I have never taken a stats class before and I thought that this class was extremely easy! The first midterm is extremely easy, I messed up on it because I didn't read some of the questions carefully, but still thought that a 100% is extremely attainable. the quizzes are online and you can use your notes, I didn't because I wanted to know what I needed to learn more of, and the final was also easy there were just a couple tricky questions. A few people said that they though her accent was hard to understand, but i had no issue understanding everything clearly. I would take this class again just because I literally love her!!!!
my grade breakdown went like this, just for reference:
Midterm 1: 80%
Overall Quiz: 92%
Overall Lab:90%
Final: 82%
Overall Grad: B+
