There is one online lecture, but it is actually three self-paced videos each week. Each video has questions, and you get credit by answering just one correctly. She really tries to make the class easier for everyone and grades generously. I like professors like this. I recommend TA Monte's section—very responsible and attentive.

Professor Swenson is such a clear teacher and she is super nice! The class has two lectures with one being online. She will post videos that you can watch at your own time. There are two midterms that are multiple choice and a final exam that is free response. If you do the homework and you pay attention in class the course should be pretty easy.

Lecture videos are clear and well-explained. I went to office hour for five times to listen to her explanation on homework. It was totally worth it. She has the ability to explain every concept clearly. Mid-terms are multiple choice. The lab questions are a bit confusing. The Final exam is harder but if you really study, you will get an easy A+.

she's super kind and i really enjoyed the class. tests are heavy but nothing that you haven't done in class already. very straight forward

she is awesome. i took stats in high school and hated it, but after this class i genuinely want to switch my major to stats & data science. love that lady

Your TA really determines how well you do in the class, and it feels like you teach yourself throughout the entire course with the way it is structured.

SO sweet, can tell she genuinely cares about the success of her students. Go to her office hours! Even if you don't have a question, learning from other people's questions helped me do really well in this course.

Swenson is super caring and is very accessible if you have questions. If you can, attend office hours for more personalized teaching. The class gets a bit tricky later on with a lot of methods/formulas to memorize but an A is very achievable with good effort.

Lectures are online, section is learning basic Python and doing worksheets based off the (optional) homework. The material itself was moderate in difficulty. Math required for the class is just simple Algebra and factorials, and a good calculator. Midterms/quizzes were very similar to the homework. If you ACTUALLY do the homework, youll be fine.

Professor seems sweet, but if you don't have a good TA you're screwed. She posts lecture videos then recaps them (at a snails pace) during the weekly lecture, but it feels as though you're expected to teach yourself. Learned practically nothing about Python, the class was math heavy. Can't emphasize enough that your experience depends on your TA.

great lecturer, extremely helpful online videos, quizzes are basically the same as homework so easy points. The two midterms are easy, the final was a bit hard

You can tell the professor cares about her students, but the class is just straight up challenging. There's a lot of material and it moves fast. The midterms and test are hard and you have to rush to get through all of the questions. The final is free response and takes over 2 hours.

She is such a sweet lady! Unfortunately statistics was such an easy subject for me in high school, but the hybrid mode just doesn't work for me (or seemingly lots of people in this class). With C or lower averages on every midterm for the class, it seems like the review she does on Thursdays (in person days) just doesn't get the job done.

Professor Swenson is really sweet and extraordinarily clear. There were concrete expectations. There was definitely a lot of work to be put into the class with the flipped classroom technique and two sections per week, but if you keep up with it all there's no reason you won't do well.

There was 1 prerecorded lecture and 1 in person lecture per week. The prerecorded lecture was laid out very well so it was easy to take notes and follow along, in person lecture was a review of the recorded one. She curved the final grade. I highly recommend because I'm already recognizing irl concepts that I learned from this class.

Professor Swenson is genuinely one of the kindest people ever. Math isn't my forte and I was really intimidated coming in but she broke down concepts so well and provided so many examples for everything which really helped me. Love her!!! (also the python aspect of this class isn't super serious so don't worry)

Professor Swenson is really nice. Really passionate about the contents, and would answer a lot of questions you have through easier examples. Though the lectures do need to take some time to adapt to and finish them, but you can do the lectures with your own pace (since part of them are online). A caring professor that can lead you into statistics.

Professor Swenson is a sweetheart, caring for her students success. Half the class is asynchronous, so it's nice to go at my own pace and then review the lectures once in person. The only difficulty was 80% was graded on exams, and 20% on participation/attendance. No HW credit, but you are expected to do HW to maintain a good grade.

Great great professor! Ik Stats is a really intimidating subject for a lot of people but she makes it really manageable and easy to understand. Lecture videos are great and go over tons of examples. One of the first classes I've taken at UCSB where I felt prepared for the exams from just lectures alone. Sections were really helpful as well.

Prof Swenson is such a sweetheart! You can tell how much she cares, and does a really good job at explaining tricky concepts. She does try to trick you a lot on midterms with question wording, so be prepared for that. Our class was half online half in person and it seems like a lot of work at first but it wasn't too bad once I got in the groove.

Swenson is a great professor! You can definitely tell that she really cares about her students and wants you to understand everything. Lab wasn't too bad, and there are weekly quizzes that are very easy if you did the homework. Although, her final was a bit harder than the midterms/quizzes. Overall though, I highly recommend her!

the material itself was difficult at times but she is very helpful if you go to office hours

I only took this class to see if I liked stats and I can say I definitely do! It was almost entirely online with the exception of midterm 2. The class consisted of weekly quizzes, easy python labs, and optional hw. It's fairly easy if you put work into it (max 4 hours a week if you take notes on the videos and do the hw).

Generally, she is nice but there are 2 midterms and her lecture videos feel like too much at once. The curve really comes in clutch! Section participation matters, she made attending lecture hall optional and posted them instead. Definitely recommend utilizing CLAS if you struggle. Did not use a textbook but it might be helpful.
