Go to her office hours, and you'll do just fine. Definitely not an easy class, but neither is any stats class. A lot of homework is involved. You don't need to do most of the readings in the textbook, though.

She's such a good professor, so kind and helped me understand statistics. The cheat sheets on the exam were great, and she is not a bad grader at all. The projects can sometimes get confusing with the directions but once you understand it there great grade boosters. Highly recommend professor Wei!

The class is relatively intuitive, and with reasonable studying you can get a good grade. Prof. Wei is a solid teacher but you definitely need to teach yourself some of the content. Overall a very chill grader, fun professor, and a good class.

Doesn't really explain material that well and speaks very softly so hard to hear sometimes. Not the best but not the worst, just pay attention in class and do homework and you should be fine.

I really enjoyed her class for most of the year; however, she has an attitude and can be extremely rude and unsympathetic to students. Good teacher with a bad personality.

Professor Wei has to be one of the best statistics teachers in the department. She is very passionate and caring, and her classes usually are not totally boring. She gives a good amount of resources and options for help. She will butcher your name though.

Best teacher for stats, she sees when someone is trying their best and rewards it. Paying attention to class goes a long way. Her exams are basically problems from the Home Work and Practice Test. A LOT OF PARTIAL POINTS. Unless you leave it blank, you will get points for it.

Professor Wei is awesome! She is a very kind and friendly person and a great teacher. Exams are fair and work is super manageable. Her lectures are engaging as well. She is always available for office hours and will answer any questions. One of the best profs I've had here!
