PSTAT131 . Coburn K M 9 Months Ago

She was really organised for this class and fair and it was pretty easy to do well. 5 homeworks - one due every two weeks worth 10% each, and you were allowed submit up to two homeworks up to a week late with no penalty. Final project worth 50% which you could do on whatever and she tells you all about that right at the start.

PSTAT131 . Coburn K M 10 Months Ago

I took Coburn for 120A my junior year and didn't love her as I felt like she didn't teach us enough. This course, on the other hand, she teaches very well. It's a lot of fun as 50% of the class is working on a final project and the rest is homeworks that help you with that project. She's genuinely fantastic at teaching this class.

She is a fantastic professor in all aspects. My only qualm with her is her unresponsiveness over email, but this is mostly because I don't go to class :)

PSTAT131 . Coburn K M 1 Year, 7 Months Ago

I got an A according to my assignment grades + my Gauchospace grade and on GOLD I have a B. I reached out to Coburn about this but she's highly unresponsive so I reached out to my TA TWICE as well. My grade is STILL wrong and probably won't ever be fixed. I just graduated so like whatever but this isn't an issue students should have to deal with.

Love Coburn so much. I took 120B and 131 with her. She's the best professor in the stats department period!

PSTAT131 . Coburn K M 1 Year, 11 Months Ago

50% homework and 50% final project, very clear about the grading critera and very very generous about grades. Super nice prof and an easy A for basically all classes she teaches. Never responds to emails though, so go to office hours/lecture for questions. Great professor and I learned a lot.
