As someone who hates maths and coding, it was tough but it was passable. Really practice R on the leadup to your exam to make sure you understand how the code functions. All lectures for mathematical theory were online which offered nice flexibility.

Would highly recommend to anyone doing stats. The R exam (15%) is quite hard without prior experience, but it's definitely relevant for future modules
