This course was challenging in that I felt a fairly steep learning curve figuring out r. The prof's explanations in class were not always the most clear, but he was very accessible in Office Hours and happy to help as much or as little as needed (he often explained things to me 4 or 5 times). The first exam was challenging (average score in the C range), but the final project was fairly easy and graded for completion. There were also some hiccups with the TA and grading that made aspects of the course feel a bit haphazard.

If you have experience in the math/stat department this class is very easy and has a lot of review. There are frequent weekly assignments and intermittent projects/more like longer homework assignment (about 4 across the semester). The exam content was pretty easy and consistent with the course teaching, but grading was a bit nit picky. Meghan is so nice and a great instructor. She is very clear and accommodated a wide variety of stat experience very well. I would definitely recommend taking this course with her.

This course is challenging, but like a slightly easier version of Probability (especially if you took with Becky). The exams are difficult but Prof had a generous final grade calculation system. Problem sets are time consuming, but a good way to boost your grade. Prof Peterson is retired so I can't speak to this course for future students on the prof specific level, but anticipate challenging exams and weekly problem sets. Also an extremely fast paced course-- if you struggled in probability that will likely carry over into this course.
