i found this class to be extremely frustrating. there are two lectures a week. one with holt and the second with the TA to go over hw questions. so basically, she just does your homework with you while everyone follows along and does it at the same time. everything is done with excel but you cant have them for the exams which sucks. the quizzes are cumulative and only 5 questions long so they pull random ones from however many questions hw questions there were in past weeks combined (453 for the whole semester) quizzes are really important (36% of your grade) try hard to do well on them, especially in the beginning of the semester when theyre not as difficult. avg of the midterm was a 72. i dont the the final was much better

Jeff's a nice guy but the subject matter is completely useless and the way he teaches it isn't the most interesting. He only lecture one day and the other day you just ask the head ta about hw questions. its not too difficult just concentrate on the mid term and youll do fine.

Pretty easy class! Very useful knowledge, especially for those who want to get into Comm School. Quiz and homework can be annoying sometimes, but they're pretty good exercise.

This class is a nuisance, but Holt makes it as enjoyable as possible. He's a great teacher who explains the material really well. That being said, the midterm and final were WAY harder than the tests and homework and the weekly quizzes were obnoxious. You don't really need to go to lecture (and by that I mean it's a waste of time if you've taken stat before), just read the book and do your homework and you'll be fine. BUT study study study for the midterm and final!

Jeff Holt is a really nice guy and even though the class isn't easy, he makes it bearable

Holt is an alright professor. His lectures are pointless, as everything is in his powerpoints which he puts on collab. His homework takes hours to complete sometimes. The midterm KILLED me. He taught everything with excel, but excel isn't allowed on the midterm. Study hard.

Professor Holt is a great guy, a good teacher, and the class is nice because on Monday all the material is covered, Wednesday is just a day to go over the homework, and the lab is just a 5-10 minute quiz once a week.

Excel is good, but You cant use them in midterms :(

interesting class and great teacher

Excellent course. Very flexible.
