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.

Great professor who has classes structured to be efficient and self-taught with many chances for support and help. Overall, I would take it again.

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.

The class is entirely online except for the midterm and final, which are worth 30 and 40% of grade respectively. If you have questions, go to office hours; she is super helpful and really wants to make sure you get the hw correct and understand material. Tests are tough, but if you review lectures a ton, you will do well.

One of the worst professors in the department. Does NOT care about a student's success, only about TAs getting grades "done." Does NOT help you understand and makes it difficult to get questions answered. Does not teach and releases the same videos every quarter. Shes lying when she says she refreshes the material.

I had almost 100% for everything except midterm and final, yet still barely made it to B+, and the homework was really different than lecture contents. Both exams are worth 70% of the grade in total, and the things she tests you on are just so pointless. The practice final is 10% related to the real final, and good luck with the rest of 90%:)

Swenson is a sweet person, and explained course content in a thorough and clear manner. While lectures are online asynchronously, I recommend going to her office hours, hosted during class time for help with homework questions. Beware of the detailed midterm and final worth 70% of your grade (I could only get a C+ with a generous curve).

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)

Although the homework was fair and straight to the point, the midterm and final were extremely difficult and unfair. Many MC questions if code was ran the answer would still be the same. Tested on many small minute things that do not help you gain further knowledge. However, she does curve the class grade at the end.

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.

Homework is not correlated with lecture.

Vague lecture

Her online coding lecture is so confused.

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.

Professor Swenson has a very organized class, homework is based purely on lecture material that you watch online. You have one class a week where you can basically just ask for help. My only issue is her exams are insanely hard, you must memorize exact wording from lecture materials. I ended up doing poorly on the both the midterm and final.

Online lectures and they're only about 1 hr long each week. Didn't have to spend much time on this class which was nice. Exams were pretty difficult though so make sure to watch every lecture and memorize everything.

the best professor in the department in my opinion. Every time I take a class w/ Swenson lectures are clear, concise, & exactly what we need for the exams; with that said, the difficulty spike between the midterm & final is really big, and the multiple choice questions test for EXTREMELY nitpicky/tiny syntax details, some of which feel unnecessary.

HW is not that bad. The exams are quite difficult and test you on how well you know the syntax and structure behind SAS. Is kinda dumb that you could know how to code decently but the exams only test you on very not pickey questions.
