I cannot stress enough, if you have the chance to take Prof Wegemer please do. He is amazing, his lectures are all recorded and you are allowed to miss about 6 classes and still receive full attendance credit. He is very lenient with exam grades, he doesn't curve but (depending on how people do on the exam) he is willing to weigh them to your benefit. For example, if you did better on the final the final was weighted more. The content itself is intimidating and (not gonna lie) pretty difficult but Prof Wegemer really took time and made it easier to understand. He encourages to use of AI to help with your learning, I recommend using it to make you test exams and to help explain concepts that are still difficult. There are 6 hw assignments, they will take a lot of time and effort, so be prepared to spend hours on them. Exams are largely conceptual, so make sure you understand key concepts of statistics. If you have the chance to take him for an easier class (like 111) you must, but even with this more difficult class, he was still great. You don't find professor this good<3

I'm surprised this class doesn't already have good reviews. If you want to learn how to use R in social science research, TAKE THIS CLASS! Prof Wegemer is the best and this class is definitely manageable. Discussion attendance is mandatory but lectures are fully recorded. Wegemer is so sweet and this class helps give you a strong R background for future research. All exams are multiple choice and because of the disruptions this quarter he changed his grading scheme to boost our grades where possible.
