I would definitely recommend taking stats with her. She is super helpful and clarifies difficult topics in lecture. I'm NOT a math person, but got an A in class by working hard (ie-attending class and doing all of the homework). There is weekly homework, but this class is totally manageable!

To get my A, I worked hard. Read the chapters, did the weekly questions (plus extra book questions), and never missed class or lab. She's extremely helpful (answered email questions) and is VERY clear about how to do a project. Provides online copies of her powerpoint presentations. No reason to do bad unless you're lazy.
