This is one of my favorite COMM classes I've taken at UCSB! Content was really interesting and relevant, and Prof Pandey was super engaging during lectures. The group project was structured well in my opinion and he also gives out A+s. Super nice and encourages students to come to office hours. Would totally take again!

Each week we were assigned readings, had to respond to a discussion prompt & then respond to another classmate, and then a short 10 question open note/book quiz. I learned a lot from this class and a lot of the material was really engaging, even the pre-recorded lecture videos as they were quite short. Super easy A and wasn't much work at all

got cooked on a couple of the tests and still ended up with a B+. super nice, apparently the course is supposed to not be as proofs based but honestly she still made it great. the stats department at ucsb is absolutely terrible but she stands out as a great professor.

Shes a great professor and lecturer but the class is very proof heavy (you just have to memorize them not like formulate them). theres 2 class exams, one midterm, pop quizzes, 4 homeworks and a final project. grades pretty nicely and is very friendly. dense lectures and a lot of material though

Pandey is amazing at teaching proofs. She explains every proofs very clearly and intuitively, but this is not what this course is supposed to be about. I expect to learn more about analysis based on coding in this course, but clearly this is not what I experienced. I would recommend her to teach classes like 120 rather than 126.

Pandey makes something overwhelming like data science + Python coding into something that anyone could understand and maybe even enjoy. I had 0 data science or coding experience before this class. The way that he teaches makes it not scary or overwhelming at all and he could not be nicer. TAKE THIS CLASS!
