PSTAT120B . Coburn K M 8 Days Ago

I just self-studied for all the materials and got an A. Exams become easy if you can 100% solve all these practice problems.

PSTAT120B . Coburn K M 14 Days Ago

The instructor was largely unresponsive to emails, including inquiries about the final exam. Even the TA had difficulty reaching her. Lectures were minimal and lacked depth, requiring significant self-study to truly understand the material. If you're looking for a course with strong guidance and engagement, this might not be the best choice.

confusing lectures, doesnt teach and doesnt respond to emails. the midterm was hard (way too hard for undergrad class) and you dont really learn anything so if youre a stats major pls dont take her

Her lectures were pretty incomprehensible and hard to follow. She will literally never respond to emails and TAs can't get a hold of her. Homework and quizzes were graded on completion which helped your grade but did not help you learn. The midterm was extremely difficult that she had to make the final exactly like the review and midterm.

Coburn is easily one of the sweetest and kindest professors, but i was not a big fan of her teaching style. Lectures are very theory based, which doesnt transfer over to the homework and midterm material. The midterm and final are extremely difficult, I got a C on both exams despite studying 20+ hours for each and going to office hours

Don't expect an easy class, times have changed. 30% midterm, 30% final, 40% basically guaranteed. Tests were graded nicely, but it was hard to solidly learn any of the concepts at all during lecture. She was a cootie pootootie and really nice and respectable. If she could change her teaching style slightly, learning outcomes would be better.
