Attendance and clicker points directly pad your final grade, and since exams pull almost exclusively from the posted slides, treating those documents as your primary study guide is non-negotiable. The quantitative workload will challenge anyone who dislikes math, but consistently completing the practice problems and using the R lab sessions for clarification will keep you on track. Expect a rigid classroom environment with strict exam-review protocols and an instructor who prioritizes order and can come across as blunt or easily frustrated by questions she deems too basic. Since the course is a non-skippable major requirement, you will fare best by strictly following every posted guideline, studying the slide deck independently when in-lectures explanations feel scattered, and reserving your questions for genuinely complex topics.
She really made statistics as fun as they could be. I learned alot from her, but also loved going to class! Take her!

From my own personal experience as well as comments from others, she is one of the better professors to teach this course. Although she says that the readings are not essential, I found them extremely helpful.

Makes this required course semi-bearable. She explains the materials in a comprehensive way but beware she can go fast. If you study her slides and really do the practice exam problems and few practice homework sets and seem to be able to do them in relatively short amount of time you will do fine on the tests. Definitely take her over Freeman, even if her class is at 9am, i promise its worth it.

Required class - Schmidt is great in class, she keeps it all pretty simple, but avoid her outside of class! When not lecturing (and this is from my own experience AND the experience of a friend), she's condescending and even kind of mean. Tests are not easy but at least straightforward.
Overall, better than 3005, but still an annoying requirement to have to do.
Lecture: 4 tests (1 dropped) and a final.
Lab - Just like 3005, various assignments and papers, but less busy work than in 3005.

Obviously you have to take the class if you're in it, and if you must take this class, then you must take it with Schmidt. She was relatively easy. Also- you don't have to do the reading. The lab part is pretty interesting, and they break up the work really well so you never get terribly stressed out.

Great class even though it's at 9 in the morning. I highly advise taking it with her because the material is straightforward and she actually keeps the promises that she makes about the tests. Make sure you get a good group for lab!

THIS CLASS IS HORRIBLE. If you are taking it, you are taking it because you have to, so there is really nothing you can do about it. Schmidt is SO irritating and the lab is SO MUCH BUSY WORK.
