Spring 2025 - Pretty simple class - and a really good introduction to R for a beginner beginner. Lectures were really clear and slides were always posted. Office Hours were very frequent and helpful to my understanding and My TA was really helpful for homework questions and really attentive, making worksheets to do in discussion about topics we were confused on. Midterm was fair, but had some tricky parts if you don't actually understand content. The final is a group project and pretty open ended for what dataset you analyze and model. Overall, would definitely take again!!
