PSTAT131 . Coburn K M 3 Months Ago

131 with coburn was probably one of the best classes i've had at UCSB. you can tell she really cares about the material and how passionate she is. the project was also super useful

PSTAT120B . Coburn K M 6 Months Ago

Coburn is very sweet and understanding. I will say sometimes the lectures can sometimes be hard to follow, but things like her posting handwritten notes I found quite helpful. Tests/quizzes aren't too bad

PSTAT120B . Coburn K M 6 Months Ago

A mix of semi-lackluster lectures plus a bad TA (got unlucky, my TA was very dull and hard to understand) made me learn so little in this class, self-studying was much more effective. However, she's likely your best bet for the 120 series given decent tests and caring/kind attitude, even if she can be difficult to reach occasionally.

PSTAT120B . Coburn K M 7 Months Ago

Didn't learn much from lectures, but easy tests and grading scheme made up for it. Overall would recommend taking.

PSTAT120B . Coburn K M 8 Months Ago

Nice person but not very accessible outside of class. Lectures are lackluster, expect to self study a big portion of the class. Dont expect to leave with good knowledge of mathematical statistics.
