CollegeI just self-studied for all the materials and got an A. Exams become easy if you can 100% solve all these practice problems.
The instructor was largely unresponsive to emails, including inquiries about the final exam. Even the TA had difficulty reaching her. Lectures were minimal and lacked depth, requiring significant self-study to truly understand the material. If you're looking for a course with strong guidance and engagement, this might not be the best choice.
Good professor with knowledge of the subject. Straightforward in their expectations and lectures.
The lectures were lackluster and behind schedule, making the course feel a lot harder than it really was. Coburn grades generously, but I feel that I've learned very little in her class.
Frequently made mistakes on example problems and often did not give clear answers to student questions. Resulting slow pace led to us missing 2 full weeks of content. Didn't really promote understanding of material, just how to plug in formulas. Honestly not even worth the easy A for PSTAT majors. Take someone else if possible
A great lecturer and very passionate about the subject, go to lecture!! She focuses only on the most important things in lecture and almost everything emphasized in lecture is tested on. Very fair tests just like the practice tests, lots of time for homework and quizzes, very accessible in OH.
