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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
