I took stats1000 with professor Medin. Good amount of homework but reasonable amount of time to complete it, is worth 10% of your grade. Final exam is worth 25% of your grade. Gave lots of study guides for exams. Explained concepts thoroughly. Pay attention because professor does not repeat himself even if you ask questions. Write lots of notes.
