Statistics

This class serves its purpose as a segue into the world of statistics as the second class someone should take in the stats department (saying this as an upperclassmen). Many topics covered in regression are covered more in-depth in other courses and Prof. Winder often covered these intersections in stat techniques which was interesting to see. Great course to take!

Professor Winder is very nice and enthusiastic about what she teaches. The class itself is not particularly difficult, but I found it extremely boring. The professor also takes a borderline unacceptable amount of time to grade assignments. For example, the take home portion of our midterm was not graded until finals week. I do not think Professor Winder is a bad teacher, but I would recommend taking this class with another professor.

Prof Tang is extremely knowledgable to the point where I feel like she couldn't dumb it down for those who had either never taken a stats class before or those who couldn't pick up coding in R fast enough. Because there was so much course content we also had to learn new concepts by ourselves as part of the homework and the weekly problem sets were always difficult. If you are familiar with R I would recommend this course as Prof Tang is very nice but otherwise if you struggle to pick up new concepts or are not familiar with R, I would not recommend taking this course.
