CollegeShe's a good professor with just homeworks, section attendance, and a 50% final project. The project covers all the material from throughout the course and takes about 10-15 hours to finish. The grading is very fair, follow the rubric and you'll get an A!
Cannot hear the professor at all and he refuses to wear a mic. Made the final questions we had never gone over in class and barely curved. Would not recommend
Dr. Coburn was great in lectures, and made the concepts seem simple to understand, but the ease of homework, examples and quiz questions left me improperly prepared for the midterm and final question styles. Very accesible, and office hours are helpful. Weekly homework and quizzes, a midterm and a final exam.
The professor is calm and cool. The exams are a bit hard and I would recommend studying with lots of practice problems weeks before exams. I found that the practice exams were not as helpful as the lecture examples.
honestly 120A was fine if you studied and showed up to class. it was hard but idk who expects it to be easy
All my friends said that he was the easy professor for 120A, but his practice tests were NOTHING like the actual exams. Lectures were boring and not useful. Fully made me lose the passion that I had for statistics. Ended up taking this class P/NP and dropped my stats minor. None of the content is interesting or applicable to the real world.
