If you're trying to actually learn stats, don't take her. If you need it for graduation requirements, take her class! Everything is open note and it's an easy A considering her grading scale (88A-).

took tong for precalc and actually needed to learn, bad idea for this prof. everything is take home but she expects you to do 30 complex multi-step problems in the span of 50 minute class periods. and she doesn't advertise deadlines, sometimes never even says what they are. emails back fast but language barrier makes her very hard to understand...

Lots of homework
Skip class? You won't pass.

Online she taught from a Word Document which was awful. The language barrier was a problem. Pop quiz or test at least once or twice a week. Everything was open note/ internet. Allows corrections on all assignments. Overall nice lady and an easy A, but do not expect to actually learn anything.

While Professor Tong was not the best in terms of being able to understand her well, she did make class as easy as possible. I took it online, so it was bound to suck. However, I found it very easy and didn't have trouble getting a good grade. I didn't learn all too much, but for the amount of effort that I put in, it makes sense.

I'm coming out of the class feeling like I didn't learn anything and hardly had to try. As a lot of others are saying, don't take this class if you legitimately need to learn stats. Professor Tong is very sweet and knows what she's talking about but doesn't give good lectures thanks to the language barrier. No HW but tons of quizzes.

Tong is a really nice lady and her class is super easy. No homework, just tests and quizzes. She gives you the ability to do corrections for everything. Its a little hard to understand her due to her accent, but shes always willing to help her students. Attendance isnt mandatory, I skipped class a lot and still passed with an A. Highly recommend

She is difficult at times to understand due to a thick accent. However, she always had handouts for the class that would walk you through exactly how to do the problems with plenty of practice problems. She allowed us to use notes and was a fair grader

Professor Tong is great. Her English is hard to understand at times but she is a very nice lady. Most work is turned in online, turn in your work and you will have a good grade. She also lets you do corrections on some quizzes and tests. Highly recommend taking her.

You cannot understand what she is saying, very very hard to follow and makes an easy course so hard to be successful in. She is a super sweet lady, and wants her students to be successful. All tests and quizzes are online and are relatively short, but are extremely hard if you don't have a background in stat. Utilize other resources for sure.

Professor Tong really cares about her students and wants them to succeed, but it can be hard to understand her with her accent. She lectures from a Word document. There are a lot of quizzes and tests. They are all online, but only a few questions, so you can't miss much. I am not good at math, and I really struggled with this course.

Sit in the front, it's easier to understand her. She's very sweet, all she wants is for her students to pass with a good grade. She provides her cell phone # so you can always send her a text if you need help; she responds fast. All quizzes, tests, & exams are take home & online. Material can be difficult, so collaborate with classmates to do well.

Professor Tong is very caring and sweet. Her lectures move forward slowly but that becomes helpful later in the course as she goes through all the problems with you to make sure you learn the material rather than memorize it.

Prof. Tong can be hard to understand during lectures, but with the examples, online notes, and accessibility for questions this class can be made easy. All the tests are online and attendance is optional. She is very kind and understanding, but you must either listen closely during lectures or teach yourself based on her notes.

All of the work was online, and she allowed corrections and occasional extra credit. Very sweet prof who just wants the best for students. It did feel like I was teaching myself, but material wasn't too bad. Accent beside, I enjoyed the class (I never went).

Zheng Tong is great if you need the Elementary Statistics as a credit. She had all of our tests and homework open note and at home, she let us out of class early every day, and allowed you to submit everything for extra credit. Super easy class

Great Prof! Very sweet and caring! Will work with you. Teaches a bit differently than the textbook which can be a bit confusing at first. Just got to adjust. No HW. Take home quizzes and tests. E.C. available and corrections. Very accessible outside of class (gives out phone number and will answer texts quickly). She wants you to pass!

Prof Tong was prob my favorite professor at this school. Mostly because her class is like the easiest A if you just want the credit. Very VERY easy class, she will really let a lot of things slide, even if thats you missing a full week of class just cuz.
