Definitely one of the better stats classes I've had to take. It was much easier to understand than PSTAT5a... She appreciates people who pay attention in lecture! Need the textbook for homework but the assigned questions are fair and pretty easy. Lab isn't very difficult either

I'm surprised her reviews are bad. She is an understanding and sweet professor who wants you to succeed, and her lecture notes are well organized and make sense if you pay attention during class. But yes, she could explain the materials in a more straightforward way. Other than that, she's really a diligent professor.

Dr. Baham is very sweet but her lecture style does not adequately prepare you for the exams. The homework and labs are graded harshly. I have studied alot for this class and put effort into the assignments; however, her lectures are rushed and do not connect to the material to the standard at which her exams are testing us.

She explains concepts oddly. She doesn't do a great job of connecting ideas from previous lectures, and I sometimes feel like she doesn't even know what she is teaching. She is ALWAYS late. She is late to lecture, late for posting grades, late for everything. Overall, an ok class. Nothing crazy, just not for me.

For starters, Dr. Baham is an extremely nice person who cares deeply about her students' success and the material she teaches. That said, I only did well in this class because a lot of what I do outside of school involves applied statistics, but I can see why her lecture style can be really confusing at times if you're not personally interested.

Dr. Baham grew on me. She's accessible outside of class and genuinely wants you to do well, even if she didn't know how best to teach. Receptive to feedback. If you self-learn alongside attending class and take advantage by asking questions and going to OH, you can do well without already having a foundation in stats.
