PSTAT120B . Coburn K M 5 Months Ago

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.

PSTAT120B . Coburn K M 10 Months Ago

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.

Exams felt hard, and the slides didn't help me study for them. The only resource that was given is a list of textbook problems, but I would have appreciated having actual practice exams since many times the questions end up being different. HW and quizzes are graded on completion, so if you're unable to keep up, you may end up cramming at the end.

120B itself is extremely hard but Prof. Coburn does her best to make it easy on students. Homework is graded on participation, has EC, she's flexible if you're struggling, v helpful in office hours, & puts tons of effort into making clear lecture slides. TAs were awful at grading tho so check your graded midterm. Class moves v fast so study hard.
