Having never taken a stats course before, I was a bit nervous going in. Luckily, the content was very interesting and applicable to real life, something I value heavily in a math class! The content could be tricky, but never got to be over-the-top challenging. Also, the textbook wasn't required which was really nice because honestly the notes you get to fill in cover everything you need to know. There were 3 lectures a week and a quiz for each lecture, but basically if you listened at all you were guaranteed to pass the quiz. The quizzes and tests were multiple-choice, and if I recall correctly non-cumulative. The "labs" are also pretty easy, just extension exercises to apply stats to the real world.

Dr. Ripol was fantastic, she explained stats in a way that really made sense. I liked having the recorded lectures (maybe only due to COVID, not sure) because I could rewind the parts that didn't make sense. Also, she provided us with past exams to study, so nothing on the tests was a huge surprise.

Study the practice exams, do the labs and quizzes on time, do the extra credit assignments.

The course difficulty wasn't that bad and her preparatory content did help. The main issue I had is severe ADHD that led to me missing a bunch of quizzes, homework, and not listening to lectures. I have no clue how I managed to get a B-, but I do remember some stuff from the class now that I'm using it in another class, so I'd say that you do learn stuff from the class. Stats as a topic is boring but I think this class definitely was alright.

This is probably very basic advice to students who don't suffer from a cripplingly short attention span but TURN IN ASSIGNMENTS. As long as you do and turn in assignments you'll be able to learn the content, since statistics is fairly straightforward.

Professor Stine was the best!! She had practice homework *NOT GRADED* and would give us practice exams that bettered my understandings and helped me do significantly better on her exams. Practice Exams were similar to her real exams. Her lectures are easy to follow. Stine made a study guide and would annotate it with us. Like who does that?! She gives you multiple extra credit opportunities. Overall 10/10 because I wish every class at UF was like this. Smokin Notes not needed at all.

I dislike math, and didn't have a very good teacher in high school, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I had a very stressful time in this class, but was able to scrape by with a C with the help of a tutor. Being that it was in the summer, the workload was super heavy, and lasted around a month (despite the 6 weeks that were advertised).

This is kind of tricky to answer, because the professor is not the person that I watched in the videos. I will say though that she seemed like a quality teacher in her introduction video. She also provided extra credit, and was pretty fair with the scoring.

If you aren't good at math, I would advise a tutor. If you're fine at it, or went to a high school that actually taught you anything math-related, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Stine is the only teacher that I am aware of (of course this was done online and over the summer), so I suppose I have no other choice but to choose her.

Easy as long as you do all of the practice exams before the real exams

You must do the practice questions/exams. Study Edge/Smokin Notes can be helpful but definitely not necessary in my opinion.
