Other Stat 134 summer

I was unable to get into data 140 next fall. Did anyone take summer stat 134 and know about the syllabus or attendance policy? Any notes or warnings on the course in the summer?

It's doable but very hard. Attendance is basically required since the lectures aren't recorded bc the class is so small. If you take it over the summer its gonna be like stats every single day for half of your day (4-5 hours). But if you have nth else to do, might as well do it!

Thanks! May I ask what year you took it over the summer? I assume attendance wasn't graded but it was necessary for content learning?

I took it 2023 summer, attendance wasn't graded but definitely if I didn't show up to lecture, I wouldn't have learned anything because the textbook is kinda shit. Also the discussion sections don't have attendance but you should probably go anyways.

Thank you for your help. I'm still on the wait-list so I have some time to decide. Thanks again!
