CollegeI am the PSTAT 115 student.the best professor I have ever met at UCSB. Well-prepared and organized lecture The exams are not easy, but if you follow her step, you will do well on the exams. she should not got low grade, she is so patient when answer my question.I got 100% on canvas, it gives me confidence and I really love it and the professor
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.
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
4 HW's with 1.5 weeks to finish each, 3 online quizzes bi-weekly. Lectures were so confusing but necessary to succeed so attend all. Midterm and final both took questions from the practice exam and had 50% R output interpretation 30% Derivation/Proof 20% MC/TF and extra credit. Attend sections right before the exam, TA's went over helpful topics.
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
