Dr. Baracaldo's lectures were always jaded and dull, with unnecessarily difficult and long assignments to boot. Labs in particular took days to complete (and are worth less than the comparatively easier homework); midterm exam was tricky and finnicky; she gave zero communication on anything (midterm date, final project requirements). Best to avoid!

I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she made lecture attendance optional while also announcing our midterm date/info on Canvas 2 DAYS before it.

If you want to be concerned about whether you will graduate on time due to a single question on a single exam, this is the class to take. Prof never responds to emails/Nectir (Slack).

Random in-class quizzes, bi-weekly homework assignments which were challenging because in-class material didn't help, a midterm and a final. Final was completely unfair and irrelevant to what we learned. I would only take this class when Professor Sang-Yun Oh teaches it. Most of the class felt like they learned absolutely nothing. Avoid, 0/10 class

HW assigned biweekly, labs were not required but were briefly gone over in section without solutions released. Quizzes were in class on canvas, and the final was very difficult with two questions, one being worth 50/70 points. Professor/ hws did not prepare the class for exams and in general it was a low quality class.

I took her for PSTAT 134. The course load is actually pretty light she just doesn't really do anything to prepare you for the mid term and finals. There's not enough in the assignments to prepare you. Final had 50/70 points in one question that I couldn't finish.
