Do not take this couse with Becky Tang. She is very kind to you but not to your grade. Her exams are incredibly difficult which tank your grade. The class has a large coding aspect through R which I did not expect which made the course even more challenging. The content goes very fast and their is a lot that is convered between intro stats and intro data science in one course. Please just take regular stats if you need it for the pre-med req. If you have Becky Tang drop the course immediately.

Took this class in Spring of 2025. The classes start out really slow but the workload is way higher than other math classes I've taken here. By the middle of the semester the material is pretty challenging but topics aren't always explored or actually taught to the full extent of what you're expected to know after the class. I was also surprised just how much of this was actually a coding class, not really a statistics one. Almost everything was done in R, and while I fully understood the statistical methods, result analysis, etc., I really struggled with the coding which was a huge portion of the first exam. The professor was super lovely and accommodating but the teaching and classes themselves left a lot to be desired. All the exams were extremely hard, and while the homework grading and class grading were super chill, the exams were not. A decent portion of the class would blob every exam but they either weren't curved or were curved so little it might as well not have been. Unless you definitely need this class for a major or minor requirement or pre-requisite, I would definitely recommend against taking this course.

I really enjoyed this course because it was at a chill pace and not too demanding. I also really enjoyed the aspect of learning how to code in R, which I had never done before. It really provided a good balance between learning statistics and data science.
