GO TO LECTURE! She gives out tips and hints for for upcoming midterms and final. The lab section doesn't help because excel doesn't come up on any test or final. Her notes are easy to understand. Look at the textbook to understand what the terms means and extra help. DO THE HOMEOWORK, IT HELPS FOR TESTS! Tests are easy if you know what you're doing

Teaches clearly, though a little boring. Her tests reflect her lectures, though they can be a bit tough. She posts weekly homework sets, but she doesn't always post practice tests.

Holmes is a great teacher and is super nice. She teaches according to the textbook which I found very helpful bc the book has great practice problems, some of which are on her exams. Do all the practice problems in the book and you'll be well prepared for tests. I thought I would hate this class, but Professor Holmes made me enjoy statistics!

Cute British lady, very well respected in the Stats world. Attendance in lecture is optional. As long as you do the practice problems in the book as well as the practice tests, you'll be fine. She mixes up things sometimes and goes very fast in lectures, so go to CLAS if you feel like you need it. Definitely buy the book, it was very helpful.

she's adorable. her powerpoint lectures were a little boring, but she taught clearly. she also basically says she wont fail anyone so she sets the curve REALLY LOW on tests and stuff. she's just such a sweet lady. definitely take her classes

Cute British lady. I wouldn't say that lecture attendance is crucial, but she explains things pretty well, so I attended almost always. The book has excellent examples, and section is easy and helpful. Put a little time in and it should be an easy A or at worst B.

Very clear, organized, to the point lectures. Cute lady made whole class laugh, loved British accent. TEXTBOOK written just FOR PSTAT5A helpful/short w/great examples! *DO THE CHAPTER REVIEW PROBLEMS in texbook!* For section, couple easy problems as classwork. Whole grade is 5 tests + section classwork. *PRACTICE TESTS ARE IDENTICAL TO TESTS!* :)

this class is fairly easy. you don't have to attend lecture to get a good grade, just the sections for better understanding of the current problems and if you need any more help, CLAS is an excellent way to get that A. it can basically replace lecture and section.

Very easy class. She is a very, very nice woman and keeps the class simple so it's possible for anyone to get an A with just a little work. Don't be afraid of having a test every other week -- they're short and easy and it really works a lot better than a huge midterm & final. Sections are easy 'cause you get full credit for just doing the work.

To tell you the truth, I took this class before with another professor and got a D so I had to retake it with Holmes. Nice lady and VERY easy class. I never went to any lectures, just read the book and did the practice problems. you have to go to section twice a week and the practice problems are similar to the tests.

Such a great class. Very easy "A" if you just do the work and study a little. The class has 5 tests, but no official midterm or final, so you finish during dead week. If you have difficulty at all, sign up for CLAS and your grade will increase so much.

Lectures are somewhat dry, but direct and they get the job done. Sections are easy. Practice tests are usually very similar to tests, but sometimes she mixes it up, so be aware of that. Overall, fairly easy class, if not quite so easy as some make it out to be.

really easy class if you just pay attention..very helpfull lady. enjoyed her class

good prof with a nice british accent. lectures are so easy to follow. ive always been bad with math but i got an A in this class. do the practice tests to study for the exams, they are the same. sections are easy too

She teaches it so clearly, it is hard not to understand it.

This Professor was outstanding. A good sense of humor.

Super easy class; take it just as a GPA booster. you never need the book, she goes over everything in class, and the tests are IDENTICAL to the practice tests.

she goes through EVERY step in the problems in lecture (even the things that dont need explaining). she gives you the formulas necessary for each exam, so all you need to know is which formula to use for which problem and where to plug the numbers in. very easy class. plus her accent and certain words she uses makes the class entertaining.

Class is boring, but the she makes the tests easy. No reason to not get an A

This has to be the easiest math class I've ever taken. The teacher is so nice, calm, and fair. She expects almost nothing out of you. Discussions are a joke, you go in and do a worksheet for 15 minutes and leave. Her tests followed the practice tests exactly, and she gives you all the formulas you need on a cheat sheet.

Really easy class! Just do the practice midterms and you'll do great on the midterms because they're exactly the same. Great Prof, goes really slow so it might get boring, but as long as you pay a little bit of attention you'll do great

She is the nicest and most helpful teacher! She'll always be willing to answer Qs or if you have any concerns. She gives practice midterms(3) and Practice final (non cumulative). She gives examples in class and had lecture slides (not posted online), and lab worksheets posted online; you're allowed to do lab and section work in groups. Great teache

Extremely easy class! you don't have to do any of the assigned problems to get an A. I only studied the day of the midterms and the final and pulled off an A. Just do the practice exams and u'll be fine. The material does get harder as the class goes on, but it's still easy!

This class is ridiculously easy. I never went to lectures, quickly went through the practice tests, and came out with an A. You don't need to go to class or do any work besides the practice test to get an A. I even missed a discussion or two. Take this class even if its not required; nice 5 unit GPA booster.
