Jeff Holt is a very good teacher and makes STAT as interesting as possible, definitely go to the lectures and work hard on the quizes it will pay off.

This class was exactly the same as my AP Stats class, so I was kind of bored. However, I do like statistics in general, and it didn't take too much work, so it wasn't too bad. I was glad there wasn't a midterm, though the quizzes were annoying--I always got one wrong.

Very well organized. Random quizzes can be troublesome at time.

Best professor I've had at UVA

Professor Holt is approachable and helpful. The material can be dry at times but I found some of his analogies helpful. Missing even a few points on a quiz or homework can pull your grade down but I would recommend taking this class with Prof. Holt.

This was definitely NOT an easy class, but it's very manageable. Read the textbook and do LOTS of practice quizzes. The final was pretty tough.

The materials is crammed into one lecture section per week, so they are loaded. Because of this, it's easy to get lost in class if you don't understand the basic principles. Holt is a good guy though, so I would recommend him as a teacher.

Very easy, follow powerpoints, do the homework, and ask questions in stat lab

Class structure was great! Go to the hw help session and do lots of practice quizzes to prepare for the weekly quiz. Not too difficult of a course if you have any background in statistics. Professor Holt is awesome and very approachable.

The quizzes are extremely important in this class, so it is wise to do many practice quizzes; especially since some of them may show up on the real quiz.
