PSTAT120a . Coburn K M A Month Ago

The lectures were lackluster and behind schedule, making the course feel a lot harder than it really was. Coburn grades generously, but I feel that I've learned very little in her class.

PSTAT131 . 2 Months Ago

Prof Baracaldo is not the best at explaining 131 material; she goes rly deep into all of statistical ML proofs and is often times confusing. She's nice though and gives good feedback on project if you approach her after class. HW and quizzes are not bad. TA is rly helpful. Overall not a hard class but ML concepts are hard to understand in general.

PSTAT120a . Coburn K M 2 Months Ago

Frequently made mistakes on example problems and often did not give clear answers to student questions. Resulting slow pace led to us missing 2 full weeks of content. Didn't really promote understanding of material, just how to plug in formulas. Honestly not even worth the easy A for PSTAT majors. Take someone else if possible

PSTAT131 . 3 Months Ago

Super nice professor, class was very fairly graded on easy homework and final project, clear grading criteria. Available after class and at office hours to answer any and all questions, will help you directly with any specific problem. Quizzes were very simple and open book/internet, just a basic check to make sure you're paying attention.

PSTAT120C . Coburn K M 5 Months Ago

Dr. Coburn is a really sweet lady and posts all her lecture videos online for 120C. The exams are tough and you won't find the answers in hw or anything, but doable if you watch all the lecture videos in entirety. Pay close attention to hw because it is graded with scrutiny. She is super caring and helpful in office hours so definitely go.
