Becky Tang

I thought the class was well taught, but the workload got overwhelming at times. The material itself was interesting and clearly explained, which made it easier to stay engaged. Still, the amount of assignments and readings sometimes made it difficult to balance with other courses.

I think Professor Becky is great but class does go really fast. The tests were difficult and you actually have to study for them. But she does give you the class presentations, and those are very helpful in studying for the exams.

I found this course challenging but very fair. The workload is steady, and you definitely need to keep up with the weekly problem sets. Becky explains concepts clearly and cares about whether students actually understand the intuition behind the statistics, not just the formulas. The class uses R a lot, so being comfortable with coding really helps. Even if you’re not, the course forces you to learn it quickly. By the end, I felt much more confident working with real datasets and interpreting regression output. Overall, it’s tough but extremely rewarding. If you put in the time, you will walk away with skills you use again in upper-level econ, stats, and data science courses.
