This class is really easy to BS, I didn't know anything and still got an A.

By design, STATS 10 is very easy, as no previous knowledge of statistics is assumed. The first half of this course, leading up to the [only] midterm, covers almost exclusively content that would be learned in a typical middle school or high school math curriculum such as mean, standard deviation, IQR, etc. The second half was focused on hypothesis testing but was still quite basic. Both the midterm and final were open-note multiple choice tests of about 40 questions each, and all you really needed to achieve a perfect score was applying formulae correctly. This class had no homework other than labs, which were essentially a basic introduction to R programming; the TA's would go over the answers during discussion, so it was all free points.

I would definitely recommend this class as an easy science GE even if it's not a major requirement.

Easy GE relative to most other math/stats classes, but it still requires some work and note-taking to succeed. The tests are easy -- online, 2 hours which is generous, multiple choice, and 15 pages of cheat sheets! Also, the final project takes only a few hours. Be careful on the labs though, they require programming in R which may be challenging for those without any coding background.

I am not a STEM person and struggle with anything having to do with numbers, but Professor Cha's lectures are so clear and easy to follow that I was able to understand all of the material.

The class has six quizzes, six labs (which are basically fully completed during the lab portion of the class), a midterm, a final, and a final exam.

She bruincasts every lecture and uploads the slides, which I recommend referring to when studying for the exams.

This is a very easy stats class so I recommend it if it is a requirement for your major.

I was nervous about taking Stats 10 since I had never done stats before but it was totally easy for someone who was not super STEM focused. There is no homework which is great. Cha gives us access to a textbook but it’s just for practice if you need extra help. While I caught onto the concepts easily I struggled to connect the lecture with the lab, as the TA clearly did not know what had gone on in the lecture. Coding was difficult to pick up, but as long as you go to section you will get good grades on all the labs, because the TAs truly give you all the code. That being said, the labs make up a chunk of your grade, as do a final, midterm and a project. The final and midterm were not that difficult as they were open note (you could use 15 pages front and back of notes during the exam) but definitely worth studying for. The practice exams help a ton. The project was daunting at first but was very manageable and easy to do by using the examples from the lab and section. Plus, Cha gave .1% of extra credit for every class you attend by tracking iClicker participation. Cha was understanding and caring, and taught at a good pace. You should not be worried about taking this class!!

Highly recommend taking this class if you don't care about stats but still want a good grade.
Grade Breakdown:
5 coding labs (20%): but you literally just copy the code from your TA so it's super easy to get 100% - the lowest grade is dropped
six online quizzes (20%): they are definitely not that hard and they are open for 3 days and are open note - the lowest grade is dropped
2 exams (45%): they are not cumulative and you get a 15-page study guide, the one you do the lowest on, is worth 20% and the better one is worth 25% of your grade.
final project (15%): is a group project and is not too hard, 3% is from evaluations that are graded on completion and the other 12% is on the actual project

There is up to 1% extra credit for live polling - 0.1% for each class where you do live polling.
Her lectures are definitely not the most engaging and she talks pretty slowly so after a few classes I just started watching the bruincast recordings on 1.5 x speed and that worked the best for me.

I have absolutely no interest in statistics but it was an easy A and did not require that much work so I highly recommend taking this class. Professor Cha is super sweet and does a great job teaching the material and going at a relatively slow pace.

cha is a great professor for this course. her notes are very organized (she uses powerpoints that you can copy straight off of without hearing her speak) and she provides a lot of resources to ensure her students do well in the course. the labs are easy to follow, the quizzes don't take more than 10 minutes, and the tests are relatively very easy. make sure you actually pay attention to the material, because you will need to know it for the tests, but this is a great class and i definitely recommend it

As an English major, I was nervous about taking a class with coding, but the TA's are very helpful and Professor Cha is an excellent instructor. She was good at responding to emails and very thorough in her lectures.

Professor Wang is reallllyy great!!! I took this class Spring of 2021 and she was really accommodating due to the pandemic. Her lectures were recorded and uploaded in case you didn't go to class. I recommend attending class because participation is part of your grade but there are other forms of participating. In class she would put up polls but if you didn't go to class you had to do a little quiz about the material. It was really easy because you just looked at the slides. The quizzes were easy in the beginning but started to get hard at least for me the second half of the class. We had 1 midterm and then a final. The midterm was easier than the final though. But if you learn the material then you should be fine however we only had 60 min for the midterm. She did give us 90 min for the final after we showed concern for time limit. That's another great thing about professor Wang she really listens and cares for her students. She offered 3% extra credit if we answered questions via campus wire and did a final survey. The labs were really easy if you get a good ta. Mine was Chen, X. and he basically gave us the answers and then recorded and uploaded section. We did have to attend though. We didn't have homework it was optional, good for practice though. The class was broken down the following way:
Participation: 20%
Labs: 20% (lowest score dropped)
Midterm: 20%
Quizzes: 20% (lowest score dropped)
Final: 20%

Extra Credit
campus wire: 2%
end-of-quarter-questionnaire: 1%

Professor Cha is an excellent professor. I struggle with math in general, but Professor Cha's interactive lectures make it very clear and concise. Workload is okay. You have two lectures due per week. You have a lab (which is a lot of coding, but take it with Andrew Shapiro as a TA and you'll be fine, he records section, so you don't have to attend live if you can't and explains everything very well, he's AMAZING) due every other Saturday. You have a quiz due every Monday, which are anywhere from 10-15 questions. There is a midterm and a final. For me, the final was slightly more difficult than the midterm. But as long as you actually interact with the lectures and study, this class should be fairly easy, even if you struggle with math like myself.
