Generally a pretty easy class, especially if you have any prior experience in stats whatsoever. Lectures are completely unnecessary aside from 4-5 labs completed throughout the semester. Just read through the chapters and flip through the posted slides as you complete weekly homework, which is often time consuming and varied a lot in difficulty week-to-week. Aside from homework and the labs, you have 2 midterms and a final, all of which you can have a cheat sheet for. Be warned that Maria is a bitch about homework. If its not turned in at the beginning of class, you get a 0, no exceptions.

This class is pretty straightforward. The work includes two midterms, weekly homework, and occasional labs. Maria is not very helpful and is not the best at explaining, but if you teach yourself the material you should be fine.

This class was very easy and very useful. If you ever think you might need to do data analysis or any type of statistical analysis in research, take this! Lectures were very boring and the weekly homework assignments were tedious, but the book was great. Maria is a really nice lady but not a particularly effective teacher - I did most of my learning from the book. The group projects are kind of a pain in the ass...but again, all very doable, and the professors are very approachable. so go to office hours if you need!

This class is pretty easy. The homeworks are straightforward and you can get high As on all of them if you take them seriously. Tests are similar to homeworks and practice tests and you get to bring notes. The projects are the most difficult part, but there were only 2. Def. buy the book, you'll need it. You don't have to go to class, everything you need is on the powerpoints. This class is critical for anyone who ever needs to read/interpret research papers or who is doing their own research.

If you are choosing between STAT 2120 and this class CHOOSE this class. On one of our midterms the average was a 92, whereas the average for 2120 was a 62.

Both Jessica and Maria just read of the slides, so going to class is really optional (as most of the class discovered). For exams you get to bring in cheat sheets and you can write most of the slide info on them, and you'll be golden. Homework takes longer than you'll expect it to, but it's helpful to keep you on top of class topics if you don't go in.

Maria is a really nice person, but not the clearest lecturer. Her slides are very clear, however, so it's not that important. She often seemed a little frazzled in class, but I think it was also because the students were often pretty unresponsive. People only take this class for a requirement, so there wasn't a lot of enthusiasm.

STAT 2020 is really laid back and Maria is chill AF. This class is the applied version of STAT 2120 just as MATH 1210 is the applied version of MATH 1310. Concepts are straightforward and exams make sense. Maria is helpful as well. If you got an A in MATH 1210, then STAT 202 should be easy.
