The labs were not explained well in the beginning but becomes simpler as time goes by. The concepts felt rushed through each week and kind of difficult to keep up with-many found the midterm hard, but a bad grade then does not decide the final grade! Recommend tutoring if not math-inclined.

I highly recommend taking this class with this professor. The grade distribution with 20% for participation(which is simply answering poll questions or zoom or if you miss the zoom class answering a few questions on ccle), 20% lab(basic coding that the ta basically gives to you, lowest grade is dropped), 20% weekly quizzes (these are better simple and the lowest grade is dropped at the end of the quarter), 20% for midterm (pretty simple, even if you do bad on it you can still get an A/ A-) , and 20% for the final (which is not cumulative but slightly more difficult than the midterm, becuase they work is harder to understand). Also, the show offers 3-4% extra credit if you do the end-of-the-quarter questionnaire and are active on campuswire. At the end of the quarter, there was a great curve that no expected.

Please take this course with Prof Wang! I took this course Fall 2021 when it was offered online-recorded, and she was an extremely kind and accommodating professor. She would push assignments back whenever we needed to, built in review sessions into our lecture time, and added an extra 1% of extra credit on top of the 2% mentioned in the syllabus (1% for completing a survey of the course, 1% turned into 2% for Campuswire). I had Yijia as a TA and she was very clear when explaining the labs, and since she recorded them I was able to start them the day they were due without issue. The exams were a bit tough due to time constraints but the quizzes made up for them, and one of each of the following category is dropped: Quizzes, Labs, and Homework Assignments. All in all, I would suggest this as both a GE and to take this course with Prof Wang as a pre-req.

This was the easiest math class I have ever taken! I had no statistics experience, but the professor is clear and understandable. She makes the material straightforward and easy to digest. The workload is minimal, with only a few homework assignments and participation activities. The most difficult part of her class are the labs, but the TAs guide you through most of the problems, so it's a breeze! She is an amazing professor!

She doesn't have a tolereance for people who don't undertstand the material. You basically can not ask questionsin the class because she is rude about it. She is also strict on class time and makes sure not to waste a sec. She also doesn't give enough examples so you'll struggle on the homework. The slides just consist of terms and not really problems. I took Stats 123 and got an A in it but this class just made me confused about STATS. The exams are open note, but they didn't help because I already didn't understand the material.

Professor is very dry and boring, a quarter of the class failed the midterm, attendance matters which sucked since her lectures were awful. I think if you put in effort youll be able to get a decent grade but yeah not an easy A for sure but also not a wow this is the worst class ive ever taken in my entire life. Also the textbook is so hard to digest by yourself so that sucked too. Lectures are audio recorded but not visually so another bummer. Midterm worth 35 final worth 45 participation 7% hw the rest

For me this was one of the easiest classes I've ever taken, though I did take AP stats in high school. This class was mostly just review, but even if you hadn't I think you'd get by just fine. There is 5 homework assignments and 5 labs which alternate each week but the TAs go through them problem by problem in discussions so you're essentially given the answers. There are also weekly quizzes which are all open note/open book, and a midterm/final, all of which are very manageable. It may be different going in person, as I had it online but really I'd recommend this class to anyone looking for an easy A.

This class (online at least) is great! I'm someone who is bad at math and coding but it's part of the lower division requirements in my major. There are two assignments (for which the coding is completely walked through during discussion) and a midterm and final. There are quizzes, but you can take them multiple times and are allowed a cheat sheet. The final is definitely harder than the midterm but Professor Wang is a very generous grader. I got a C on the final and she gave me an A in the class, lol. If you go to office hours and do the extra participation work, she will boost your grade. Super great class and very helpful professor/TAs.

Being the class that cost me my 4.0 GPA, I had to write something. I thought it would be easy especially given I took AP Stat, but Professor Wang wasn't very helpful especially when I had to make an emergency last minute trip to the Middle East during finals week that forced me to have to take the final in the early hours of the morning to fall within the exam window. You can scroll to the other reviews for more detailed info on the format but there's virtually no margin for error given 75% of the class is from 3 quizzes and 2 exams (of which, 2 of the quizzes and the midterm I scored a high A on) but yet I botched the final (C+) which ngl was really confusingly worded for a lot of questions still shot my grade down to an A-. No curve, no nothing else to save you. Kinda frustrating ngl but it is what it is. Don't take this class C sesh for sure

I took this course summer 2025 as an online asynchronous class and thought it was really manageable. I was taking another class at the same time and was able to get an A in both so the workload really isnt that heavy its just the time to watch the lectures. The class consisted of 3 quizzes, 2 assignments, and a timed midterm and final. The assignments were super easy because the TA just gave you the answers to most of it and the rest was relatively easy as long as you watched the pre-recorded lectures. The class is really not that math heavy, as long as you have the formulas written down its honestly just a matter of inputting the right thing. As long as you able to identify what numbers correspond to every variable youll get the right answer.
The other reviews are true about having little to no practice problem sets but the quizzes are manageable as long as you watch the lectures and prepare a good cheat sheet (cheat sheet allowed for every test). All test were timed but the question count was manageable for the allotted time (quizzes had about 15 and the midterm/final had around 25). The quizzes were also hosted on a lockdown browser with a calculator implemented into it. The questions were really wordy so it can be hard to understand what its even asking for if you dont have a good grasp on the concepts but the practice midterm/final (not very useful) did give somewhat of an idea of what type of questions were going to be asked. The professor also hosted long review sessions before the midterm and the final to help students prepare but she lowk kinda ignored some of the questions in the chat so I would suggest asking your TA since they also held their own reviews before each test.
Also theres a really active chatroom created via campuswire and there were a lot of people helping each other out through there. Also there was 2% extra credit given if you earn 15 participation points. Those points could be earned by attending discussion sections (1 point each), the 2 review lectures hosted by the professor (1.5 points each), or being active in the campuswire (Had its own point system for answering/asking questions). There was no official curve but the TA and professor mentioned that if the average test grade was low enough they would curve. My grade final grade was curved up from an A- to an A and so was my friends so thats dope.

Overall I think this is a fine class to take with this professor as long as you are prepared to actually pay attention to the pre-recorded lectures and use the resources given (discussion sections and campuswire chatroom).
