The review below me hit most of the points. Stats 13 with Schoenberg is mediocre. The professor is boring and dry, making it difficult to listen to him in class. The TA's are all too smart and can't relay the information in a way for the students to understand well. However, there is a way to get an A in this class.

First off, the lab homework (10%) are all related to R-code. The labs are a pain and way beyond the scope of the course. But the good thing is that there is nothing related to R code on the tests. To be honest, find yourself a person who knows R-code and ask them to help you out.

The homework isn't that bad. there was only 4 homework assignments for the whole quarter and I'm pretty sure the homework between all stats 13 classes are similar. The best way to study for the tests is to print out all the slides, go over them on your own time by writing down the problems and concepts. Schoenberg gives you a list with all the concepts that will be covered on the exam, make sure you have an example that illustrates that concept if you make a study guide (along with what the concept is).

Do all this, and you are pretty much guaranteed an A. It's definitely a self-study class, but very manageable compared to all other self-study classes. Besides the R-code, nothing is that bad. I would go as so far to say this is one of the easier lower-divs out there for life science.

Selling the following: Midterm, R-code for the labs (TA: Duncan), In-Class slides, textbook, Study guide (includes concepts + example problems for every concept) and Homework problems.
