Very fair professor, while the content can be difficult her lecture slides are very detailed and she explains them very well. There are 2 "class exams", a midterm and a final so it can be a lot but she gives plenty of resources to help study for them. Difficult class but study well and take advantage of an amazing professor and you will be fine!

Puja Pandey is the goat. Explains fairly dense material in an intuitive way. 4 homeworks (30%, part writing/theoretical, part coding, lowest dropped), 6 pop quizzes (10%, lowest dropped), 2 in-class exams, 1 midterm, 1 final (all exams 20% each). Very fair study guide questions and exam difficulties, super nice in OH.

Pandey is QUEEN. Her lectures are very well structured, and she reinforces the stuff she goes over within the same lecture over and over. Her tests are basically the same structure and format as her practice exams. I was never scared of any pop-quizzes because she prepares you so well. Her outfit slays sometimes. LOVE HER LET HER KNOW SHE IS LOVED.

Kanu is one of the best Comm profs I've had :) He is a new lecturer but he is extremely caring towards his students and is absolutely hilarious. Since 187 is "Data Science" Comm, it is heavy on beginner coding and data analysis, but the content/assignments are taught step-by-step and are very doable and easy to master even for coding newbies.

Very nice professor and cares about her students. Lectures are decent, but a lot of the time she was covering proofs and other less important topics, so I did not know what I needed to know for the final until the week before. Office hours are really good though and she is really good at answering questions.

Nothing is wrong at all with Pandey as a professor. She has really nice lectures and is super super willing to help. But 126 as a class was very useless. We learned proofs the whole quarter and then randomly got a coding final proj at the end. To be honest I do not know how this class has helped me at all to become a data scientist.
