CollegeDefinitely 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.
Took 120L: Dr. Baham is nice enough but it was not good. Lectures are irrelevant to the research project that is the entire point of the class. Every week, there is an individual Eli review assignment, eli review peer review, in-lab group assignment and in-lab individual assignment. ELI assigned Thurs night due Fri night. TAs nice but unhelpful.
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.
Professor Baham is truly so kind. Make sure to study for the midterm well. Exams are 70% of your grade being one midterm and one final. I recommend finding good study techniques like creating a question per slide/important term to ensure you understand the meaning/applicability. There are three reflection papers and they are graded easily.
