Cha was very clear in her slides. She does the problems on the projector/board with the class to walk everyone through. She answers questions in class and also has office hours if you're really confused. She didn't give mandatory homework. She gave weekly quizzes that reflected what we saw on the midterm/final. In addition, she drops your lowest lab and quiz grade, which is extremely helpful.

First off you can easily get an A in the class if you go over all her lecture slides and listen to her midterm/final review. Professor Cha is my favorite professor in the Stats department, due to the fact that her slides are extremely organized and she puts a lot of effort in giving you the material you need to succeed in the class whether it is r code examples, slides, and textbook resources. I messed up on two of the homework assignments due to my own mistakes, yet the homework assignments tended to be fair. She is also extremely approachable, and although the group project was a decent amount of work she grades it fairly leniently. Overall, I recommend Maria Cha over any professor for 101a, 101b, and hopefully one day she'll teach 101c.
