PSY10B . Baham M E 8 Months Ago

I took Psy10A with Baham (course code wasn't an option) and I feel like I gained nothing from the lectures I attended. She seems sweet, but her lecture style is boring and repetitive, leaving you to have to teach yourself. Disappointing since research in psych is super interesting, but was rather mundane with her. The TAs carry the course.

Baham was a great professor. I was a little worried because of the reviews on here but she was pretty organized and the class was very easy to navigate. You complete a lab and homework assignment each week and have 2 midterms and a final. I found that the exams did not take the entire time and were all mcq.

Definitely one of the better stats classes I've had to take. It was much easier to understand than PSTAT5a... She appreciates people who pay attention in lecture! Need the textbook for homework but the assigned questions are fair and pretty easy. Lab isn't very difficult either

I'm surprised her reviews are bad. She is an understanding and sweet professor who wants you to succeed, and her lecture notes are well organized and make sense if you pay attention during class. But yes, she could explain the materials in a more straightforward way. Other than that, she's really a diligent professor.

Dr. Baham is very sweet but her lecture style does not adequately prepare you for the exams. The homework and labs are graded harshly. I have studied alot for this class and put effort into the assignments; however, her lectures are rushed and do not connect to the material to the standard at which her exams are testing us.

She explains concepts oddly. She doesn't do a great job of connecting ideas from previous lectures, and I sometimes feel like she doesn't even know what she is teaching. She is ALWAYS late. She is late to lecture, late for posting grades, late for everything. Overall, an ok class. Nothing crazy, just not for me.
