PSTAT120A . 1 Year, 15 Days Ago

Pandey is QUEEN. Her lectures are very well structured, and she reinforces the stuff she goes over within the same lecture over and over. Her tests are basically the same structure and format as her practice exams. I was never scared of any pop-quizzes because she prepares you so well. Her outfit slays sometimes. LOVE HER LET HER KNOW SHE IS LOVED.

Very nice professor and cares about her students. Lectures are decent, but a lot of the time she was covering proofs and other less important topics, so I did not know what I needed to know for the final until the week before. Office hours are really good though and she is really good at answering questions.

- Tests were very reasonable - Homework sometimes was on material that hadn't fully been covered in class, but otherwise was fine. - Lectures usually had straightforward definitions and explanations, but sometimes could've used more examples

got cooked on a couple of the tests and still ended up with a B+. super nice, apparently the course is supposed to not be as proofs based but honestly she still made it great. the stats department at ucsb is absolutely terrible but she stands out as a great professor.

Shes a great professor and lecturer but the class is very proof heavy (you just have to memorize them not like formulate them). theres 2 class exams, one midterm, pop quizzes, 4 homeworks and a final project. grades pretty nicely and is very friendly. dense lectures and a lot of material though
