Professor Holt is approachable and helpful. The material can be dry at times but I found some of his analogies helpful. Missing even a few points on a quiz or homework can pull your grade down but I would recommend taking this class with Prof. Holt.

The materials is crammed into one lecture section per week, so they are loaded. Because of this, it's easy to get lost in class if you don't understand the basic principles. Holt is a good guy though, so I would recommend him as a teacher.
This was definitely NOT an easy class, but it's very manageable. Read the textbook and do LOTS of practice quizzes. The final was pretty tough.
Very easy, follow powerpoints, do the homework, and ask questions in stat lab
Class structure was great! Go to the hw help session and do lots of practice quizzes to prepare for the weekly quiz. Not too difficult of a course if you have any background in statistics. Professor Holt is awesome and very approachable.
The quizzes are extremely important in this class, so it is wise to do many practice quizzes; especially since some of them may show up on the real quiz.
Rather easy class, although quite rigorous. Quizzes took a lot of time, just make sure you ace each of them then final will be a breeze.
Very tough class. Class is divided into two parts. First lecture goes over the material, second goes over the homework for that week. Really recommend going to both because the homework can be really tough. Make sure you do really well on the homework and quizzes because the final can be a bit tough. Holt is helpful and a nice guy so if you have trouble, go to him
Good class, but he doesn't curve. If you do well on the quizzes, you should be fine.
If you're taking this class, you probably are because you have to. For me, this was NOT the case. I really enjoyed it, but I'm a huge nerd. It's relatively easy although the final kills a lot of kids. Don't expect an amazing experience from this class, but expect to get graded relatively fairly (that's huge to me and probably is to you too).
