STAT 4170

Unless this class is relevant to your program, I would avoid this class. Woo knows his stuff, but he's a hard grader and sets his class up in a way that forces you to go out of your way to succeed in his class. In other words, he makes you work for it. The material isn't insanely difficult, so try to get an earlier section if possible to be more awake for the worked examples. Go to both review sessions (the first one's usually better), and remember that the first midterm is always the hardest. . . gets easier from there.

If Woo is reading this, I think the course would benefit from less quiz drops and instead more leniency on potential partial credit on midterms. This would make midterm and course knowledge progress feel more rewarding rather than worrying about 100% correctness.
