You can actually just read from the textbook and do the homework. Professor Holt is really helpful however if you do need to speak to him. He's very good at explaining statistics. Quizzes are weekly, and one final. Good class overall.

You do not need to go to lecture because he juse reads straight off the powerpoint and make sure you take every quiz because it gets harder as the semester comes to an end. Grade is mostly based off of quizzes and homework.

this is for 08 Fall. As usual, 1 lecture per week, optional hw session where u can pretty much just get the answer. I personally never go because it's not that hard, it's mainly the T/F questions that you get stuck on. HW counts for 15% and there's 100 problems in total (12 sets of 10 questions, get to drop 2 sets), so messing up ONE is NOT a big deal at all. The quizzes however, are 55% and getting ONE question wrong means -1.1 on the TOTAL grade.

Holt is a fun guy, and his quizzes and tests are relatively easy. If you go to his homework help sessions, it will cut your homework time back by at least 2 hours.

This class was very easy for a for credit class he lectures Monday, goes over homework Wednesday and the discussion is a short quiz. He teaches you how to do the problems but not so much the reasoning behind it, however. The book is relatively unnecessary.

Holt is a really nice guy which keeps me from completely ragging on this course. All the hw is online and the quizzes are online as well, though you have to go to a lab to take them, which is a pain in the ass. Then you get to the end of the year and the final, which is worth a lot, is not online and is not completely relevant to the class. Overall, if you do well on the quizzes you are fine, but certainly a frustrating and obscenely boring class

a great class to take in summer school. if you don't have to take it for econ major or comm school i don't recommend it but if you do try to get Holt.

Holt is the nicest professor I have ever met. No question that he is the best guy to take STAT 212 with. The way he teaches is that he gives one lecture a week, and the second class period each week is optional Q&A about the homework sets. Every week you have 1 homework set and 1 quiz. Only test is the final.

The teacher is probably the nicest teacher, but the webwork was hard. However, the help centers are helpful so it is no excuse to get less than 100% on each hw. There is no curve however and I feel that i should have gotten a better grade considering how much work I put into the class..

Prof Holt is the nicest man ever. Webwork is frustrating though - I felt like I deserved a higher grade for how much work I put into the class. It's nice that he uses excel instead of tables or minitab, so that's a plus.
