Reviews
Professor Sheng was very patient and clear with her lectures. Especially her typed notes were very clear, with good examples. I could understand the material by just reading the notes. The material was also very useful, such as probability, different type of distributions, and random variables, which are all very important in statistics. This class definitely helped me prepare well for the upper div econ classes that require stats knowledge.
