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.

For starters, Dr. Baham is an extremely nice person who cares deeply about her students' success and the material she teaches. That said, I only did well in this class because a lot of what I do outside of school involves applied statistics, but I can see why her lecture style can be really confusing at times if you're not personally interested.

Dr. Baham grew on me. She's accessible outside of class and genuinely wants you to do well, even if she didn't know how best to teach. Receptive to feedback. If you self-learn alongside attending class and take advantage by asking questions and going to OH, you can do well without already having a foundation in stats.

Honestly Baham was not as bad as people are saying on here. Her lectures ultimately made sense, the only thing is that she really rushes the lectures towards the end. Tests are super easy as long as you know what you're doing. Also homework/labs were literally not graded that hard, you seriously just had to do what was asked.

Homework is 40% of your grade and they grade it pretty harshly. I got As on both the midterms but they are only 15% each. Due to my hw grade I still need a good score on the final (20% of our grade) to achieve an A in the class. She also rushes through lectures but overall a nice teacher just poor class structure.
